Svmuu News: Standard Chartered Bank stated that it is maintaining its price forecast of $100,000 for Bitcoin by the end of 2026. The bank believes that the recent market decline triggered by developments related to Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is not due to a deterioration of the company’s balance sheet, but rather stems from the market’s failure to fully understand the company’s strategic adjustments.
Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, noted in a report that Strategy’s recent actions are disrupting short-term market expectations for Bitcoin. The market had previously accepted the company’s narrative of “never selling Bitcoin,” but Strategy now appears to be shifting toward a more complex capital management model; whether it can clearly communicate this change will determine when market pressure eases.
Currently, Strategy holds 843,775 Bitcoin, accounting for just over 4% of Bitcoin’s total supply of 21 million.From 2020 through mid-2025, Strategy’s mNAV (enterprise value / Bitcoin asset value) remained consistently above 1, enabling the firm to raise capital through stock offerings to purchase Bitcoin and generate shareholder value. The commitment to “never sell Bitcoin” was central to the market’s acceptance of this model.However, as the current mNAV approaches 1, the leverage effect of this financing model is diminishing.
Kendrick believes that Strategy is shifting from “Bitcoin-accumulating instruments” to “Bitcoin-credit-backed instruments,” that is, by holding Bitcoin as the credit foundation for its perpetual preferred stock, STRC.STRC, currently valued at approximately $10 billion, is the largest financial instrument launched by Strategy. It offers an annualized dividend yield of 12%, paid in cash every half-month, and employs an interest rate adjustment mechanism to keep its price near its $100 par value.
Standard Chartered Bank noted that STRC is currently trading at around $90, while Strategy’s U.S. dollar reserves—used to pay dividends—amount to approximately $2.55 billion, sufficient to cover about 17.4 months of dividend payments.
Kendrick noted that Strategy’s policy adjustment allowing for the sale of “Bitcoin” does not mean the company will necessarily continue to sell. He believes that as long as the market trusts that the new capital structure arrangement can stabilize the price of STRC, Strategy may not actually need to sell “Bitcoin.”He likened this mechanism to a central bank’s promise to “act no matter what”: with market confidence restored, actual intervention might not occur at all.

Svmuu News: Steven Ehrlich, Head of Research at Sharplink, posted on X that Ethereum (ETH) has gotten off to a strong start in July 2026, rising approximately 11% so far this month. Historical data suggests that investors may want to pay attention to ETH’s performance in July.Over the past 10 years, ETH has posted gains in four out of seven Julys, with an average gain of 43% during those four months. Since 2020, July has been ETH’s strongest month, with an average gain of about 27%, outperforming all other months.
The key advantage of ETH’s July performance lies not simply in volatility, but in the asymmetry between gains and losses: when ETH rises in July, the average gain is about 43%; in years when it falls, the average loss is only about 5% (2020–2025).Historically, ETH’s strong performance in July has often been accompanied by catalysts specific to the “Ethereum”:
July 2020: A 54% gain; “DeFi Summer” kicked off, Compound launched the COMP token, and a yield farming craze ensued.Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi grew from approximately $1 billion to $4 billion within a few weeks, and monthly trading volume on DEXs increased by 174%, with ETH benefiting as DeFi infrastructure.
July 2022: 58% increase; the timeline for the Ethereum’s “The Merge” upgrade was finalized on July 14, market sentiment rebounded from lows following the LUNA and 3AC crises, and approximately $337 million in short positions were liquidated within three days.
July 2025: 49% increase. The U.S. “GENIUS Act” was signed into law, and monthly inflows into spot ETH ETFs reached a record high of approximately $5.4 billion. At the same time, institutional investors accelerated their allocation to ETH, while a staking rate of approximately 30% and declining exchange balances drove supply tightness.
Historically, months of significant price surges for ETH have typically been driven by a combination of “Ethereum-specific catalysts + supply-demand imbalances.” Looking ahead to July 2026, Steven Ehrlich believes the current market environment also presents similar opportunities:
1. Institutional infrastructure is being built. EthLabs (protocol R&D) and Ethereum Institutional were recently launched to drive institutional participation in the on-chain ecosystem, with Sharplink, BitMine, and Joe Lubin among the participants.
2. The Ethereum’s roadmap continues to evolve. On July 4, Vitalik Buterin proposed the “Lean Ethereum” initiative, which aims to simplify the Ethereum architecture, improve speed, and enhance post-quantum security over the next 3 to 4 years—a project whose significance is on par with The Merge.
3. Institutional investors continue to increase their ETH holdings, and digital asset reserve companies remain actively accumulating ETH. Sharplink currently holds 886,725 ETH, having purchased an additional 10,000 ETH last week, and has stated that its goal is to increase the number of ETH per share.
Steven Ehrlich noted that Ethereum is entering a new phase of development, and institutional adoption, technological upgrades, and capital allocation may become key drivers of ETH’s price performance.

According to PPP prediction market monitoring, in the Polymarket prediction event “2026 World Cup Quarterfinals: Spain vs. Belgium,” a “fool’s money” account that lost nearly $630,000 (address: 0x5b4ec9c06b284ee52c41a761974d836992880232) purchased approximately $387,000 worth of bets on Spain defeating Belgium, with an average entry price of 59.5¢.
The Spain vs. Belgium knockout match will take place at 3:00 a.m. Beijing Time on July 11. In their last five head-to-head matches, Spain has won all of them. Belgium does not seek to maintain prolonged possession; instead, they prefer to turn the match into a contest of a few key exchanges. However, De Bruyne’s form has not been ideal as he has gotten older. The last time these two teams faced off was at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, also in the quarterfinals, when Belgium eliminated Spain in a penalty shootout to advance to the semifinals.

Svmuu News: South Korean brokerages are sharply divided on SK Hynix’s outlook, with the core disagreement centered on whether AI storage demand can drive long-term growth.KB Securities maintains a “Buy” rating on SK Hynix. Drawing on the precedent set byTSMC’s 1997 ADR offering in the U.S., the firm believes that SK Hynix’s ADR listing will increase global investor participation and is expected to drive a revaluation of both the ADR and the underlying Korean shares in tandem.KB Securities also forecasts that global DRAM and NAND wafer production capacity growth in 2027 will be only 7% and 4%, respectively—lower than the 17% and 19% growth rates in demand—and that memory supply shortages may intensify further compared to 2026.
BNK Investment Securities, however, believes that the rationale behind hyperscale cloud service providers’ continued ramp-up of AI infrastructure investment is weakening, and that the ADR listing will not significantly alter the valuation of SK Hynix’s domestic shares. (Etoday)
