The "Big Short" Michael Burry has stated that his biggest concern about Berkshire Hathaway was that when Warren Buffett eventually steps down, his successor would be too old and not Buffett himself, hence would lack the same patience to wait for the "best pitch".

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated in a post that since May, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has shrunk by nearly $150 billion, falling from roughly $2.8 trillion to $2.66 trillion. He noted that from last October to this May, the total stablecoin market cap remained largely sideways, meaning either no new liquidity entered the crypto market during that period, or the scale of new liquidity was insufficient to drive further growth in stablecoin market capitalization. At present, even if Bitcoin (BTC) can stabilize, market demand has not recovered, and insufficient liquidity is limiting BTC from making another upward breakthrough. Meanwhile, the continuous decline in stablecoin market cap since May reflects not only a lack of new capital in the market, but more likely that existing liquidity is gradually exiting the crypto market. In this scenario, even if BTC temporarily stops its decline, it still faces pressure from insufficient capital demand.
