CoinCircle News: Mercer Consulting said that, due to the decline in U.S. stocks, the estimated funding level of retirement pension plans initiated by companies that are constituents of the S&P 1500 index fell by 1 percentage point in June, dropping to 109%. By the end of June, the estimated total surplus of these plans decreased by $7 billion to $139 billion, while the surplus at the end of May was $146 billion. Matt McDaniel, a partner at Mercer Consulting, said that after the strong May nonfarm payrolls report was released, market speculation suggested the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates later this year, and the stock market was therefore dealt a blow in early June.

Crypto News Flash, Wu Shuo learned that digital asset trading firm QCP released its third-quarter market outlook, saying that ETFs, corporate asset allocation, and regulatory progress continue to push digital assets into institutional frameworks. The long-term structural investment thesis remains solid, but in the second quarter there was a lack of clear catalysts that could drive the market higher.
Although BTC has withstood geopolitical shocks and pressures such as ETF outflows and wavering confidence among large corporate holders, it still failed to become the leading asset in the rally of risk assets. QCP believes that crypto assets did not participate in the AI-sector rally; if AI trading weakens, enterprise-level BTC holdings may also face pressure, and such holdings may no longer serve as unconditional bottom support.
In the third quarter, attention should focus on the Federal Reserve’s policy, capital rotation between AI and crypto assets, demand from corporate positions, and changes in positioning across the BTC, ETH, SOL, and options markets.

Mohit Kumar said that the upcoming U.S. midterm elections will put pressure on U.S. President Donald Trump, who may be “more willing to accept some form of agreement” to control oil prices.

I’m still in an empty position. Yesterday, Trump’s speech pushed it to 1712. My thinking remains unchanged. The market is exactly matching the news flow to wash and adjust; let’s see if the US and Iran will cause any trouble in the next two days. For now, my trading suggestion is to trade in a range and set take-profit and stop-loss.

According to The Economic Times, senior officials of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) submitted opinions to the Standing Committee on Finance of the Indian Parliament, supporting a "containment strategy" biased toward prohibition for crypto assets, and recommending that banks and other regulated financial institutions stay isolated from crypto assets and privately issued stablecoins. RBI stated that prohibition remains one of the policy options recognized by international standard-setting frameworks; if traditional regulatory frameworks are applied to crypto assets, it may grant legitimacy to speculative products and create a "false sense of security" for users. RBI also warned that large-scale adoption of stablecoins could weaken India's monetary sovereignty and financial stability. Meanwhile, RBI suggested that policymakers distinguish between speculative crypto assets and the tokenization of regulated financial instruments such as government bonds and corporate bonds, so as not to restrict tokenization innovation.
