Cosmos Labs Co-CEO: dYdX's shift to RWA is a rational choice with limited impact on ATOM.
According to Foresight News , Cosmos Labs co-CEO Barry Plunkett tweeted his comments on dYdX's partnership with Robinhood to launch Arcus. dYdX has proven it can run seriously on-chain and drive industry development, but in recent years has faced pressure from new-generation perpetual contract competitors like Hyperliquid and Lighter, the overall decline of DeFi, and Web 2.5 products like Kalshi. He sees dYdX's shift to RWA through its partnership with Robinhood, which has strong distribution capabilities, as a "rational choice." He believes the impact on ATOM is very limited. The dYdX Chain remains a sovereign chain, and its fees, security, and value accumulation contribute very little to ATOM. The ATOM community also did not pay for the migration of dYdX to Cosmos. This further confirms the Cosmos team's assessment: for teams with distribution capabilities and leading products, having an underlying platform is crucial. Cosmos is currently focused on building tokenized deposit solutions for banks.
Citigroup lowered its 12-month price target for Bitcoin to $82,000 and for Ethereum to $2,240.
According to Foresight News , citing Reuters, Citigroup has lowered its 12-month forecasts for Bitcoin and Ethereum, reducing its price target for Bitcoin from $112,000 to $82,000 and its price target for Ethereum from $3,175 to $2,240. Citigroup cited weakening investor interest, reduced inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and a lack of progress in U.S. digital asset legislation as factors that have hampered the prospects for both cryptocurrencies. Citigroup stated that the adjustment was due to its decision to lower its 12-month ETF net inflow assumption from $10 billion to zero. The report also noted that slow progress in US cryptocurrency legislation and concerns about potential Bitcoin sales by digital asset management companies dampened investor sentiment, a weakness coinciding with a shift of funds towards artificial intelligence-related assets.
The Smarter Web Company CEO: Q2 marks the company's shift from a Bitcoin treasury to an enhanced Bitcoin company.
According to Foresight News , Andrew Webley, CEO of Bitcoin treasury company Smarter Web Company, tweeted that the second quarter was the most significant quarter since the company became a publicly traded company. The company is transforming from a simple "Bitcoin treasury company" into an "Amplified Bitcoin" company. Its core is to increase the number of Bitcoins per share in the long term through the responsible use of balance sheet and capital market instruments, rather than simply holding Bitcoins. In addition, the company has recently taken several measures, including continuously increasing its Bitcoin holdings, introducing moderate leverage, simplifying its capital structure, appointing a new CFO, strengthening financial analysis and disclosure, and simultaneously developing its business operations. It also noted that this "amplification" strategy will bring greater volatility, but its long-term goals remain unchanged.
Kalshi becomes an official FIFA partner; CEO says there will be no IPO this year.
According to Foresight News , citing The New York Times, prediction market platform Kalshi announced on Friday that it has become an official FIFA partner through a branding and product agreement with existing FIFA World Cup prediction market partner ADI Predictstreet. Its brand will appear on advertising billboards at World Cup stadiums and in television and online broadcasts. A Kalshi spokesperson revealed that the platform's cumulative trading volume in the first two weeks of the World Cup reached nearly $10 billion, with peak daily trading volume exceeding $1.6 billion during the tournament, far surpassing the pre-tournament level of nearly $1 billion. Sources familiar with the matter indicated that, driven by this, Kalshi's annualized revenue has well over $2 billion. ADI Predictstreet, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, officially launched shortly before the start of this World Cup. Despite frequent advertising on stadium screens and broadcasts, its actual trading volume has been limited, with some events seeing bets of less than $20, according to a report this week by Front Office Sports. Under the terms of the partnership, Kalshi will direct international betting traffic to the ADI Predictstreet platform. In an interview with CNBC, Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour confirmed that the company is considering an IPO, but will not launch it this year, stating, "Given our financial situation and growth rate, such discussions are bound to happen." Previously, The Information, citing anonymous sources, reported that Kalshi had had informal contacts with investment banks regarding an IPO.
