Odaily Odaily reports that Serenity posted on platform X, noting that for those currently citing Bank of America's bearish views, one should remember that in March of this year, Bank of America claimed that EWY/KOSPI, representing South Korean memory chip stocks like SK hynix and Samsung, was in an extreme bubble state. At that time, Bank of America attributed the rise to retail investors, implied they should sell South Korean memory chip stocks, and even compared the situation to the 2008 financial crisis, the internet bubble, and the decline in silver prices. Serenity stated that shortly after retail investors sold their long positions, memory chip stocks instead surged to all-time highs.
Serenity remarked that institutions are not your friends; typically, when an unusually large amount of negative news emerges, it is because institutions need liquidity. Previously, BofA Securities indicated that investors should remain cautious about US stocks, as a growing number of bear market signals suggest the market is approaching a top. A team of strategists led by Savita Subramanian wrote in a report dated June 5 that approximately 70% of bear market signals have now been triggered, consistent with the average level seen at historical market tops. The S&P 500 shows statistically significant overvaluation in 17 out of 20 valuation metrics, with 8 of these metrics exceeding levels seen during the tech bubble. Furthermore, high price-to-earnings ratio stocks have significantly outperformed low-valuation stocks, which strategists view as a sign of excessive speculation. Within the tech sector, the gap between the best and worst-performing quintiles has widened to its highest level since February 2000.

Odaily News, June 9th — BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest article "Reality Test" that if oil prices continue to rise due to the US-Iran conflict, it could trigger a collapse of the AI stock bubble and drag the entire crypto market down.
Hayes said that if traffic restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz persist deep into the second quarter, spot prices for hydrocarbons and other key commodities could rise in the third quarter. If oil prices continue to climb and inflationary pressures impact the US midterm elections, Trump might pivot to a tough stance targeting data center construction, AI regulation, and taxation. Hayes believes the market could anticipate Trump limiting AI capital expenditure and taxing AI companies, thereby triggering the burst of the AI stock bubble.
Hayes also noted that since November 2022, the scale of AI-related debt issuance has been approximately $1.5 trillion, and US M2 has increased by roughly the same amount during the same period. He believes the three factors that could pop the AI bubble include rising energy costs, the market's inability to absorb three major AI-related IPOs — namely SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — and Trump's shift to opposing AI. In terms of portfolio, Hayes stated that Maelstrom's stock portfolio holds significant positions in US-listed energy producers; he has sold AI-related stocks and offloaded non-core crypto assets, having dumped HYPE, NEAR, and WLD last week, as well as selling ZEC due to the Orchard Pool vulnerability. He still holds Bitcoin and ETH and will execute tactical short trades via derivatives.
Odaily Odaily Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeсков said that Russia may introduce fees, recommendations, and technical protection mechanisms in "unfriendly" cryptocurrency transactions to protect Russian investors.
During the preparation for the second reading of the bill on regulating the crypto market, one of the core topics debated was whether to allow specific digital assets, including USDT and BNB, to participate in transactions. Ivan Chebeсков noted that operations with such instruments could pose high risks for Russian users, and therefore additional protective measures are being considered. These include economic incentives such as fees or recommendations to encourage citizens to hold other assets.
Previously, Russia's Ministry of Finance had considered excluding USDT from the cryptocurrency market regulatory system, but industry participants expressed their willingness to bear the risks of using this instrument on their own. Furthermore, in a regulatory concept proposed by the Central Bank of Russia last December, it suggested recognizing digital currencies and stablecoins as foreign exchange assets, permitting their purchase and sale but prohibiting their use for domestic payments for goods and services. Unqualified investors, after passing a specific test, would be allowed to purchase the most liquid cryptocurrencies, with the annual limit for purchasing assets through a single intermediary not exceeding 300,000 rubles.

Odaily reported that Saif Faiq, one of the organizers of a Bitcoin-related kidnapping case in 2024, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interference with commerce by robbery on Monday at the Hartford Federal Court in Connecticut. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, with sentencing scheduled for August 28.
In 2024, Saif Faiq and his brother Adam Iza plotted to kidnap the parents of a cryptocurrency millionaire for extortion. Saif Faiq recruited six men from Florida and assisted in planning a home invasion. The six men intercepted a Lamborghini Urus in Danbury, Connecticut, where they assaulted and briefly detained victims Sushil Chetal and Radhika Chetal. The victims' son, Veer Chetal, who was involved in a social engineering scam that stole approximately 4,100 Bitcoin, had already pleaded guilty last November. Saif Faiq has been in custody since his arrest on November 12, 2025. (The Block)
