US Bank: Market Sentiment Still "Extremely Bullish," AI Bubble Emerges as Investors' Top Tail Risk
**Feb 17 – Bank of America’s monthly fund manager survey, released Tuesday, shows market sentiment remains “extremely optimistic” — but further asset gains are growing increasingly elusive, as global investors grow more concerned about corporate overinvestment.**
The poll covers 162 fund managers overseeing $440 billion in assets under management (AUM). Key takeaways:
- Cash holdings rose to 3.4% from January’s record low of 3.2%.
- Investors remain heavily overweight commodities and equities, sharply underweight bonds.
- Macro optimism improved further: The share expecting a global economic “boom” hit its highest since Feb 2022, while the portion forecasting >10% corporate profit growth is the strongest since 2021.
But a **record share** of respondents say corporate spending is too aggressive. Chief investment officers now favor strengthening balance sheets over ramping up capital expenditures. The AI bubble has reclaimed its spot as investors’ top tail risk.

TRM Labs: Despite being delisted from major exchanges, Monero network activity is on the rise
February 17th — TRM Labs’ latest research shows Monero activity has held steady despite major cryptocurrency exchanges delisting privacy-focused coins.
Key takeaways:
- Transaction volumes in 2024 and 2025 remain above pre-2022 levels, even as large exchanges (including Binance and Kraken) removed or restricted the token over traceability concerns.
- In 2024, mainstream platforms delisted Monero for compliance; this year, Dubai’s financial regulator banned licensed firms in its international center from listing privacy coins like Monero and Zcash, ramping up pressure.
- Bitcoin still leads as the top choice for real-world ransom payments: Ransomware operators often demand Monero (sometimes with discounts), but victims still prefer Bitcoin.
- Darknet markets are shifting in the opposite direction: 48% of new markets launched in 2025 only support Monero — a “significant jump” from earlier years.
