Odaily reported that Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, stated that after buying Bitcoin near $100,000, he will hold it until $0. He said that every time he sells Bitcoin, the price surges; every time he buys Bitcoin, the price plummets, calling it a classic timing issue. (CoinDesk).

Monitoring from the PPP Prediction Market Tool shows that in the Polymarket event "2026 World Cup Round of 16: Brazil vs. Norway," an address (0x204f72f35326db932158cba6adff0b9a1da95e14) with total profits of nearly $16.68 million purchased approximately $200,000 worth of bets on the total goals in regulation time being over 2.5. The entry price averaged 54.5 cents, and the position is currently showing an unrealized profit of $10,980.

Norway defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 in the previous round, securing their first-ever advancement to the knockout stage of the World Cup thanks to Haaland's winning goal, boosting team morale significantly. Notably, Norway remains unbeaten in historical head-to-head matches, which further adds uncertainty to this game. Brazil has recently shown defensive instability, while Norway, relying on solid defense and set-piece threats, possesses the capability to cause an upset. In a single-elimination match context, possibilities such as a draw leading to extra time or a shocking Norwegian victory exist, and the total number of goals is expected to potentially exceed 2.5.

Tech blogger Leo has revealed that OpenAI may make GPT-5.6 available to the public between July 7 and July 9, with the earliest possible date being July 7. The new model's plan usage quotas are said to be more generous, and OpenAI is further strengthening its safety strategies ahead of the launch.

Additionally, according to sources, Google DeepMind has tentatively scheduled the release of Gemini 3.5 Pro for July 17. Another tech blogger, Astro Polo, stated that Gemini 3.5 Pro will support a 2 million token context window, doubling the 1 million token context window currently supported by Claude Sonnet 5, Claude Opus 4.8, and Claude Fable 5. This makes it more suitable for handling large codebases, lengthy documents, and long conversations.

Odaily reports, according to on-chain data, Gate (0x2b8...f308) has burned 2.57 million GT tokens, valued at $17.43 million. This is Gate's third GT burn of the year, bringing the annual cumulative total to 7.29 million GT tokens, worth approximately $58.56 million. The previous two burns were 2.56 million GT (valued at $18.83 million) 70 days ago, and 2.16 million GT (valued at $22.3 million) 178 days ago.

Odaily reported that financial trader and CEO of Factor LLC, Peter L. Brandt, stated he is considering selling some of his Bitcoin holdings to allocate the proceeds toward purchasing gold.

Brandt believes that gold's future upside potential may surpass that of Bitcoin, prompting his plan to adjust a portion of his asset allocation.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Nomura believes in its latest report that the core contradiction in the global storage industry remains a severe supply shortage, and the structural demand growth driven by AI has not yet peaked. Recent investor concerns about supply surplus are clearly excessive, and the market's overreaction may provide a window to reassess valuations for the storage sector. Nomura stated in the report that market worries are severely exaggerated, and the cycle from semiconductor investment to actual production capacity is extremely long. South Korea's massive investment plan of 4,800 trillion won will take at least 5 to 10 years to convert into actual production capacity. Furthermore, the squeeze on general storage capacity by high-margin HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) is leading to a severe supply shortage in the market. Nomura emphasized that Meta's decision is by no means a turning point for a decline in AI-related hardware demand. On the contrary, due to the current shortage of computing power, which has led to an upward trend in the price per token, the entry of Meta's computing power into the market may help stabilize token prices downward.

Odaily reports that the South African Revenue Service (SARS) released a draft guideline on crypto asset taxation on July 1, 2026, aiming to establish compliance rules for approximately 5.8 to 6 million cryptocurrency users in South Africa. The public comment period is open until August 31, 2026. According to the updated framework, crypto assets are classified as intangible assets, not as foreign currency or traditional money. Taxpayers holding these assets are not required to pay tax on unrealized gains or losses. Tax obligations arise upon the disposal of the asset. If an individual’s crypto activities are deemed to resemble business operations or short-term day trading, the profits will be classified as gross income and taxed at marginal rates ranging from 18% to 45%. If crypto assets are held as long-term investments, gains from disposal are subject to capital gains tax, with effective personal tax rates ranging from 18% to 36%. The draft also treats exchanges between different crypto assets as barter transactions, with tax consequences arising immediately at the time of the exchange based on local market value. SARS stated that it has deployed a Crypto Revenue Augmentation Unit to track and audit digital wallets and urged taxpayers who have not previously disclosed their crypto earnings to complete their filings through a voluntary disclosure program to avoid administrative penalties following stricter enforcement after the August deadline.

Odaily Odaily News After crypto blogger @TCryptochicks posted a series of "riddle" images, CZ reposted and replied "Water (drop) your BNB wallet", fueling market speculation on celebrity-themed Meme coins.

As a result, several CZ-themed Meme coins on the BSC chain saw short-term price surges. Among them, CZ (The Final Form Bull) briefly exceeded a market cap of $41 million, before falling back to $29.82 million. It recorded a 24-hour trading volume of $28 million and a 24-hour increase of 182 times.

Some capital is attempting to replicate the "Ansem effect" on the Solana chain, which involves using topics related to well-known KOLs or celebrities to drive speculation on same-name or homophonic Meme coins. Odaily reminds users that related tokens are highly volatile, and investors should be cautious of significant risks and potential rug pulls.

Odaily reports that the pace of new token listings on South Korean crypto exchanges has significantly slowed in the first half of this year, while the number of delistings for low-liquidity and problematic tokens has increased.

According to data compiled by EToday on the top five exchanges—Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and Gopax—the net number of new trading pairs listed (after accounting for delistings) in the first half of this year was 49, down approximately 74% from 191 in the same period last year. Over the same period, the number of new listings fell by 44% year-on-year, while the number of delistings surged by 258% year-on-year.

The report states that amid declining trading volumes and pressure on fee income, the competitive focus of Korean exchanges is shifting from listing expansion to liquidity management, token review processes, and institutionalized regulatory compliance. (EToday)

Odaily reported that despite U.S. stock markets continuously hitting new highs and Bitcoin showing relatively weak performance so far this year, asset managers Hashdex and Charles Schwab both believe this divergence will not persist in the long term.

Samir Kerbage, Chief Investment Officer at Hashdex, stated that current market capital is flowing more towards themes such as AI infrastructure, IPOs, and interest rate trading, rather than digital assets. This reflects a shift in capital allocation, not a deterioration in the fundamentals of the crypto industry. He pointed out that stablecoin trading volumes in the first half of this year have already exceeded the total for the full year of 2025, the scale of RWA has grown over 60% year-to-date, and on-chain network transaction activity has also hit an all-time high. The divergence between on-chain fundamentals and market valuations has reached a historical extreme.

Jim Ferraioli, Director of Digital Asset Research at Charles Schwab, indicated that Bitcoin's current trajectory remains consistent with historical cycles following previous halvings. He noted that the current production cost for inefficient miners is approximately $95,000, while the average market cost basis is around $80,000. As prices rebound, they may still face some selling pressure from holders seeking to break even. He believes that as the Bitcoin market matures, the amplitude of volatility in future cycles is likely to diminish.

According to Odaily, the U.S. national debt has risen to approximately $39 trillion, with the public debt now equivalent to the size of the U.S. GDP. Annual interest payments have reached about $1 trillion, exceeding the defense budget. The U.S. Treasury system dates back to 1790, when Alexander Hamilton pushed through a debt consolidation reform. At that time, the federal government assumed the wartime debts of individual states and committed to full repayment, thereby establishing the U.S. credit system and laying the foundation for the global status of the dollar and U.S. Treasuries. Today, U.S. Treasuries are regarded as one of the core assets of the global financial system, supporting the U.S. dollar's reserve currency status and being widely held by central banks and financial institutions worldwide. As the debt scale continues to expand, market concerns over long-term sustainability are intensifying. According to estimates from the Penn Wharton Budget Model, when the debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds approximately 210%, the fiscal system may face unsustainable risks. Currently, this ratio in the U.S. stands at about 100%, and the Congressional Budget Office projects it could rise to 175% by 2056. Analysts believe that under scenarios of growing healthcare spending and widening fiscal deficits, this risk threshold could arrive earlier, and the long-term stability of the debt structure is facing increasingly stringent market and policy scrutiny.
