The Israeli military will reduce its forces stationed in southern Lebanon.

In a post, Serenity stated that robotics will be the next key growth area. Citing March PitchBook data referenced by a16z, it reported that both deal volume and investment value in the robotics sector are rising rapidly. A positive factor is that many AI data center-related exposures often also have exposure to the scaling of humanoid robots. For example, DRAM and NAND in the storage space can be used for inference and storage in humanoid robots; DFB lasers in the photonics space are applied in FMCW LiDAR for vision and perception. Serenity noted that most related exposures are currently concentrated in upstream components or in-house projects of large firms including Amazon and Tesla. It believes that the global IPO season for pure-play robotics or humanoid robot companies will be worth watching from the second half of 2026 to 2027.

Renowned researcher Oguz Erkan’s data analysis indicates that based on current capital costs, operating margins of hyperscale cloud service providers, and depreciation periods, the return on investment (ROI) for AI capital expenditure will turn positive when AI revenue reaches roughly 1.7 to 1.8 times depreciation and amortization. Currently, AI revenue is approximately 1.2 times capital expenditure depreciation. Erkan projects that if AI sales grow robustly, the ROI is expected to turn positive within 24 months.

Two renowned Chinese hedge fund managers have warned that global AI stocks have formed a "super bubble" and are on the verge of bursting. Yang Dong, founder of Ningquan Asset, explicitly warned in the "2026 Semi-Annual Investment Report" released on June 23 that a "super bubble" has formed in global AI stocks, and a crash may be imminent. The report bluntly stated that a large number of hot A-share stocks are very likely to drop by 80% or even over 90% in the future, adding that "if one lacks the ability to pull chestnuts out of the fire and emerge unscathed, taking such risks would be irresponsible to investors." Yang Dong accurately predicted the peak of the 2007 bull market. Separately, Li Bei, founder of Shanghai-based Banxia Investment, noted in her June 21 monthly report "To Banxia Investors" that "the triggering conditions for the AI bubble to burst have emerged." Taking Anthropic's ARR (Annualized Run Rate) as an example, she argued that revenue growth at downstream model companies has slowed significantly, their full-year results are likely to fall well short of market expectations, and a subsequent decline in capital expenditure is highly probable.

According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, a wallet linked to Vitalik, labeled "0xD04", transferred 7,000 ETH (valued at $11.06 million) to a new wallet. Based on the address’s historical transaction records, the ETH is highly likely to be deposited into a centralized exchange (CEX). Earlier, the same wallet transferred 1,300 ETH (worth $31.6 million), which was subsequently deposited into Paxos. The wallet currently holds 20,001 ETH, valued at $31.6 million.

Hong Kong’s government stated in a written response to the Legislative Council that the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) granted stablecoin issuer licenses to two bank-backed institutions in April 2026. Per the institutions’ existing business plans, Hong Kong’s regulated stablecoins are projected to launch between mid-year and the second half of this year. The government added that the HKMA has sent notices to unregulated entities conducting stablecoin issuance in the market to clarify legal requirements, and will continue to follow up on related matters; individual cases may be referred to the police or the Department of Justice if necessary. Additionally, the government will submit a bill to the Legislative Council this year to establish a regulatory regime for virtual asset trading, custody, advisory and management service providers.
