According to The Block, Benchmark Equity Research reiterated its buy rating on Strategy (MSTR) and maintained its target price of $570. This target price still has about a 406% upside compared to Friday's closing price of $112.53.Although Strategy's perpetual preferred stock STRC experienced a significant sell-off last week, dropping to around $83, Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer stated that STRC is not a stablecoin and does not have a Terra/Luna-style reflexive mechanism. Its essence is a perpetual preferred stock, backed by over 847,000 bitcoins (approximately $55 billion) held by Strategy.Palmer believes that the decline of STRC is not a "de-pegging," but rather a reset of the market's required yield. The company currently has about $1.4 billion in cash reserves, which can flexibly support dividend payments. Benchmark views this sell-off as a stress test of its financing model, rather than a structural deterioration.

In response to recent community doubts about the Ethereum Foundation and the potential for a funding crisis, Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl posted on the X platform, stating that in the long run, the current institutional adjustments being made by the Ethereum Foundation are positive for Ethereum for two main reasons: first, more development work will be transferred to commercial organizations, which can reduce the development responsibilities borne by the Foundation and may encourage more work to be driven by commercial entities, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the ecosystem; second, the structural adjustments help maintain Ethereum's core principles as a digital currency infrastructure, and a Foundation with clearer responsibilities and a more focused scope may be more beneficial in ensuring that Ethereum continues to adhere to the "CROPS" principles necessary for building a sound digital currency.If the Ethereum Foundation reduces its direct involvement in ecosystem development in the future and focuses on maintaining Ethereum's long-term core goals, it may help strengthen ETH's positioning as a decentralized digital asset infrastructure.

According to Jinshi reports, the number of people continuing to claim unemployment benefits in the United States for the week ending June 6 increased to 1.81 million, expected to be 1.795 million, with the previous value revised from 1.795 million to 1.786 million.

According to The Block, Benchmark Equity Research maintains a buy rating on Coinbase, with a target price of $270, representing an upside of approximately 59.5% from the current stock price. Analyst Mark Palmer stated that Coinbase's recent system updates clearly demonstrate its rapid transformation from a cyclical crypto broker to an infrastructure platform connecting the on-chain economy with traditional finance.The report highlights Coinbase's product advancements in tokenized U.S. stocks, stock and crypto options, prediction markets, AI investment tools, and agentic payment infrastructure, as well as its prior approval from the CFTC to operate as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM), allowing it to offer global crypto perpetual contracts and options trading to U.S. clients through Deribit. Benchmark believes these initiatives further confirm that Coinbase is continuously expanding its business boundaries beyond spot crypto trading.

According to The Block, investment bank Benchmark pointed out in its latest research report that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed to repeal Rule 611 and Rule 610(e) of Regulation NMS, which could become the "most decisive regulatory change" affecting the market structure of cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets in 2026.The proposal was announced on June 11 and aims to eliminate trading protection and quote constraint rules that have been in place for nearly 20 years in the U.S. stock market. The SEC stated that this move is intended to reduce trading costs and provide greater space for market competition and technological innovation.Benchmark's analysis believes that the current Rule 611 (order protection rule) requires trades to adhere to the National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO), while Rule 610(e) restricts "locked/crossed quotes." These mechanisms are effective in traditional matching systems but create structural constraints for automated market maker (AMM) models in decentralized finance (DeFi).The report pointed out that if the relevant rules are repealed, it will significantly lower the compliance barriers for tokenized stocks and on-chain trading systems, making AMM-based trading models easier to access the U.S. capital market system.In terms of potential beneficiaries, Benchmark specifically mentioned Securitize, believing that it will benefit most directly as a provider of tokenized securities infrastructure, while Coinbase and Galaxy Digital will also benefit from the expansion of trading, market-making, and custody infrastructure. However, the report also emphasized that the rule adjustments do not address all core issues, such as the exchange registration system, custody and clearing framework, and the legal positioning of DeFi-native trading still needs further clarification.The industry generally expects that the subsequent "innovation exemption mechanism" will become a key supporting policy. The SEC has currently opened a 60-day public comment period on the proposal, and the market anticipates that the final vote may take place in early 2027.

According to Jinshi reports, HSBC analysts pointed out in a report that the current exchange rate of the dollar is below the level implied by the market's expectations for U.S. interest rates. As recent market expectations have shifted from rate cuts to potential rate hikes, the dollar's response has been relatively limited. They believe this may reflect the loose financial environment in the U.S. and the market's expectations for a resolution to the Middle East conflict. If the Federal Reserve fails to support rate hike expectations in next week's meeting, the dollar "may be in trouble."

According to Jinshi, the number of people continuing to claim unemployment benefits in the U.S. for the week ending May 30 was 1.795 million, slightly higher than the market expectation of 1.78 million. The previous value was revised from 1.777 million to 1.771 million.

According to The Block, Benchmark maintains a "Buy" rating on the tokenized infrastructure company Securitize, with a target price of $16, based on its revenue expectation of approximately $178 million in 2027. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that the merger registration statement of Securitize and Cantor Equity Partners II is effective, and shareholders will vote on June 29. If approved, the merged company is expected to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ.The report states that Securitize has a differentiated advantage with its compliance license system across the U.S. and Europe, including registration as a broker-dealer, alternative trading system, transfer agent, and fund service provider in the U.S., and holds trading and settlement licenses under the DLT Pilot regulatory framework in the European Union. Securitize currently manages approximately $3.4 billion in tokenized assets, and the size of its market segment has exceeded $30 billion.

The U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill, the "Clarity Act," is a "support for regulation, support for enforcement" bill that rebuts criticisms from some law enforcement agencies regarding its inadequacy in preventing financial crimes. As the midterm elections approach, the time window for Congress to pass this bill is narrowing. Senator Cynthia Lummis warned that if progress is not made this year, the bill may not be seriously reconsidered until after 2030. Currently, the Clarity Act still faces multiple controversies, including stablecoin yield arrangements, conflicts of interest arising from Trump-related cryptocurrency businesses, and whether anti-money laundering standards are stringent enough.The latest version also incorporates the "Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act" (BRCA) pushed by DeFi supporters, aimed at clarifying that non-custodial developers should not be regarded as money transmitters. However, some law enforcement groups and lawmakers are concerned that the BRCA and certain provisions of the bill may weaken the ability to track illegal funds and recover victims' assets. Witt stated that lawmakers have responded to these concerns before the Senate Banking Committee vote and added provisions to strengthen regulatory and enforcement foundations.

Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee stated that he remains optimistic about the cryptocurrency market entering a new super cycle and believes that Ethereum will become a core beneficiary asset. Tom Lee pointed out that the two main driving forces of this cycle are asset tokenization driven by Wall Street and the rapid development of AI Agents.He stated, "We continue to expect that the cryptocurrency market and Ethereum will usher in a super cycle." Additionally, Tom Lee believes that the significant correction of Ethereum previously has provided an attractive buying opportunity. Currently, the staking scale within the Ethereum ecosystem continues to rise, with over 39.2 million ETH staked, accounting for about 32% of the total supply.According to market news, Bitmine increased its holdings by a total of 111,942 ETH last week, with its ETH holdings accounting for approximately 4.47% of the total supply of 120.7 million ETH.

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated, "A new category is emerging in the crypto industry—'revenue chains,' with Hyperliquid and Solana as the current leaders. He believes that while there is some overlap between the two, they each have distinct characteristics and both possess strong communities, use cases, and user bases. He mentioned that in the future, the two may benefit from the structural growth of the mobile internet, much like iOS and Android. Horsley pointed out that for 'revenue chains,' they are benefiting from the trend of capital markets going on-chain. Therefore, whether supporting HYPE, SOL, or both, what truly matters is not the competition between them, but the overall rise of on-chain capital markets. He stated, 'Support the on-chain capital markets. I am glad to see the success of the crypto industry.'"
