SpaceX at $2T+, Fed Signals Shift, and the Hunt for Uncorrelated Alpha. This week feels less like a market update and more like repricing what “risk” and “return” actually mean. SpaceX continues to move through valuation and index-flow gravity. The Fed signals stability rather than surprise. Geopolitics briefly softens risk sentiment. And beneath it all, capital keeps migrating toward structures that don’t depend on direction, only execution. The common thread: investors are no longer just choosing assets. They’re choosing systems of return. Welcome back to Startup Deal Desk!

AI 時代的新聞媒體,該長什麼樣?. 嗨,早! 上個月,我固定閱讀的 Web3 新聞網站 DL News 宣布關閉。 DL News 是鏈上資訊平台 DefiLlama 在 2022 年成立的新聞部門,並在 2024 年拆分為獨立網站。但近期加密貨幣新聞流量大幅下滑,加上 AI 截斷了搜尋分發管道,真正點進 DL News 看新聞的人越來越少。沒有讀者就沒有廣告收入,沒有收入就撐不起團隊。最終,DL News 在 5 月底正式關閉。 說起來,這都要怪 DL News 經營團隊太死腦筋。現在幾乎所有 Web3 媒體都知道,要轉向 AI、國際政治,甚至兩岸關係,才能獲取更多注意力。堅守 Web3,根本就是死路一條。 是嗎?先從大家近期最有感的現象說起。 越大眾,越小眾 你最常看哪家新聞媒體?如果要做民意調查,恐怕我得多放一個選項:不看。 現在要取得最新資訊,根本不用靠媒體。直接問 ChatGPT、打開 Threads,都能知道今天發生什麼事。就連傳統媒體最仰賴的 Google 搜尋,也多了「AI 摘要」這隻攔路虎。只要願意花點時間,人人都能打造自己的新聞台。 難怪連老牌媒體都發現網站流量正在斷崖式下滑,而且至今看不到盡頭。 Read more Next.

Restlessness in the cards means one thing almost every time: you have outgrown the container you are in and have not yet stepped into the next one. The feeling is the gap. The discomfort is the sign that something is ready to move. Knowing that gives you somewhere to put the feeling. Instead of something to fix, it becomes something to navigate. That specific energy, the unsettled, I-know-something-is-supposed-to-shift-but-I-don’t-know-what feeling, is one I can read very precisely. Next. Fifth, from The Lead-Lag Report.

This is how most people’s experience with podcast guesting platforms goes: They sign up. They get a few matches. They book an interview or two. And then they treat the whole thing as done. Episode recorded, box ticked, moving on. What they don’t realize is that the moment the recording ends is actually the beginning of the most valuable part of the process, not the end of it. The members who get the most out of Talks aren’t the ones who book the most interviews in their first month. They’re the ones who treat every completed interview as a deposit into a compounding visibility account that pay And then. Seventh, from drstorm.

__DEGRADED__ From storyflo. This is your daily audio brief for June 12th. Here are today's top 10 finance and markets stories. Let's get into it. First, from Elliott Wave 2.0. BTC - Fully Focussed On The Structure. The current market conditions are characterized by mass panic and maximum fear, which is seen as a precursor to an incoming rally. This combination of emotions is considered a perfect recipe for a potential upward trend. The focus remains on the key aspect that matters, which is the structure of the market. Staying disciplined and focused is crucial in this environment, as panic is not being rewarded at this time. The emphasis is on maintaining a calm and composed approach, rather than giving in to emotional decision-making. The overall expectations for the market remain bullish, indicating a positive outlook for the future. This suggests that despite the current climate of fear and panic, there is still a sense of optimism about the potential for growth and upward movement. The preparation for this moment has been ongoing since February 5th, 2026, with a focus on allocating resources in the correct areas. This careful planning and attention to detail are intended to help navigate the current market conditions and capitalize on potential opportunities. The structure of the market is the primary area of focus, with an emphasis on understanding and analyzing its underlying dynamics. By staying focused on this key aspect, it is possible to make more informed decisions and avoid getting caught up in the emotional turmoil of the market. Next. Second, from CriptoATH. No hemos hecho suelo. El NUPL, un indicador que mide el optimismo y pesimismo del mercado de Bitcoin, ya no muestra los extremos de euforia y capitulación como lo hacía en ciclos anteriores. En los últimos años, las “montañas” y “valles” del NUPL se han aplanado: la euforia nunca alcanza niveles altos y la caída profunda bajo cero es rara, lo que sugiere que el suelo del precio no será visible de forma clara. Este cambio se debe a la transformación del ecosistema: ya no son solo mineros y traders minoristas, sino ETFs, tesorerías corporativas y capital institucional que operan bajo mandatos de rebalanceo y con menos pánico. Estos actores añaden un colchón de manos que no venden en pánico, reduciendo la volatilidad del NUPL y manteniendo grandes cantidades de Bitcoin fuera del mercado, incluso cuando el precio baja. El NUPL también agrupa a todos los holders, sin distinguir entre quien compró hace semanas o años, por lo que puede indicar una zona “sana” pese a que muchos inversores minoristas estén en pérdidas. Por eso, esperar una señal de capitulación para confirmar que se ha hecho suelo puede llevar a llegar demasiado tarde. Para superar esta limitación, CriptoATH propone usar un NUPL segmentado por cohortes de edad, cruzado con otras capas de valoración, minería, suministro y comportamiento. Esta herramienta, junto con una tabla de confluencia y tres señales de compra, permite identificar un posible suelo invisible y guiar decisiones de inversión en el nuevo entorno institucional.
