Controversy Arises Over Spot and Contract Linkage as VELVET Token Surges and Faces Large Sell Pressure

On June 11, on-chain analyst Yu Jin reported that the DEX project Velvet Capital's token VELVET has recently experienced abnormal market fluctuations, soaring from approximately $0.09 to $0.90 in a short period, with a cumulative increase of 10 times. During this rapid price surge, associated addresses of the project transferred approximately 22 million VELVET tokens to trading platforms such as Bitget, Gate.io, and KuCoin in the past three days, valued at around $19.8 million, which the market interpreted as potential concentrated sell pressure. Additionally, market-making institution DWF Labs also transferred about 6.68 million VELVET tokens to the aforementioned exchanges in the past month, valued at approximately $6 million. The synchronous occurrence of on-chain fund flows and rapid price increases has sparked community discussions about the 'spot pump + contract harvesting' model.

  • Goldman Sachs Warns of AI Bubble: Market Will Reprice When First Major Cut in Spending Occurs

    On June 23, Goldman Sachs strategists warned that the AI market has become like a stretched rubber band, and the market's ongoing disregard for negative signals will eventually reach a critical point. Once any major tech giant is the first to cut AI spending, the valuation logic of the entire AI sector will face a comprehensive restructuring. Privorotsky, a strategist in Goldman Sachs' Global Banking and Markets division, pointed out in a research report on Tuesday that the market has largely ignored all negative signals emerging from AI capital expenditure transactions over the past few weeks. He specifically highlighted an increasingly widening structural divergence: while hyperscale cloud providers continue to ramp up spending commitments, their stock prices have consistently underperformed the market; meanwhile, AI hardware stocks, represented by Nvidia and TSMC, have risen against the trend. This divergence itself is a signal of market pricing distortion.
