Bitcoin briefly dipped below $60,000 over the weekend, logging a roughly 7% decline in the past week. As the second quarter draws to a close, Bitcoin is on track to post a roughly 12% quarterly drop, following a 22% fall in the first quarter, which would mark a rare back-to-back quarterly loss in its history. Meanwhile, altcoins have generally seen steeper declines than Bitcoin: Ethereum fell around 9.5% in the past week, Dogecoin dropped 11.7%, HYPE slipped 10.6%, XRP declined 8.7%, Solana fell 3.5%, and TRON saw a roughly 1.5% drop. Analysts attribute the market’s ongoing pressure to multiple factors, including sustained capital flows into AI-driven semiconductor and memory chip sectors, persistent outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, and the U.S. Dollar Index staying at high levels. The market will watch closely for ETF capital flows and demand improvements in the third quarter to judge whether the crypto market can shake off its weak performance in the first half of the year.

OpenAI is considering delaying its initial public offering (IPO) to 2027, a shift from the market’s earlier expectation of a fourth-quarter 2026 listing. Reports say OpenAI confidentially filed its S-1 document back in May this year, but due to factors including the cooling tech stock market and waning hype around SpaceX’s IPO, the company is leaning toward slowing down its listing pace while keeping its valuation target of roughly $1 trillion. Meanwhile, Anthropic closed a new financing round in May, lifting its valuation to around $965 billion, and has also submitted a confidential S-1 filing—marking the first time its private valuation has surpassed OpenAI’s. The report also notes that the U.S. government is ramping up regulation of cutting-edge AI models. Earlier, Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and Fable 5 were temporarily taken offline due to export controls; Mythos 5 has since been cleared for re-access by roughly 100 U.S. critical infrastructure entities, while Fable 5 remains unavailable. Separately, OpenAI has adopted a phased rollout strategy for its GPT-5.6 model at the U.S. government’s request. Analysts argue that as OpenAI and Anthropic approach trillion-dollar valuations, the U.S. government is emerging as a critical influencer shaping the release, deployment, and commercialization of cutting-edge AI models.
