As of June 5, data from Coinglass shows that Coinbase’s Bitcoin Premium Index has been in negative territory for 18 consecutive days, currently standing at -0.1347%—a trend signaling continued weak buying power for Bitcoin in the U.S. market. The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index measures the gap between Bitcoin’s price on the Coinbase platform and the global average Bitcoin price. A negative premium typically indicates greater selling pressure in the U.S. market, reduced investor risk appetite, growing market risk aversion, or capital outflows from the U.S. crypto space.

Here’s the revised English version adapted to American language conventions: Per monitoring from the Telegram channel Dynamic Beating (https://t.me/OneMillion_AI), Alex Sacerdote, founder and CEO of hedge fund Whale Rock, shared critical updates at the Sohn Montreal Investment Conference on June 4. As an early investor in Anthropic’s Series G round, Sacerdote revealed that daily active users (DAU) for Anthropic’s Claude have surged to 14 million—up from just 2 million last year. He projects the chatbot’s long-term user base could reach 500 million. Sacerdote framed the current AI industry as being in the very early stages of vertical growth, comparing the past three years to a “search engine on steroids” while emphasizing that the enterprise market remains the sector’s “real ultimate prize.” Pushback against AI bubble theories was another key point from Sacerdote: he argued today’s AI leaders have solid profitability and far more reasonable valuations than 1999 internet bubble giant

On June 5, Curve founder Michael Egorov posted that widespread pessimism is gripping markets regarding Bitcoin and the broader crypto sector. The shift stems from crypto assets falling out of recent favor, as AI stocks now dominate the mainstream market. Egoror stressed crypto is far from a mere "toy"—it serves a real purpose: granting users self-sovereignty and building an always-on financial network that never halts.

He also noted AI is a foundational technology but will navigate its own "uncanny valley" phase. Replacing humans with AI, he explained, creates a feedback loop where AI outputs become AI inputs, driving down quality and causing maintenance costs to grow exponentially. Major companies pushing AI’s widespread use may not implement it correctly, leading to inflated reported expenditures. Import
