: In response to recent reports that "AI stock god Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Fund is seeking new capital support," well-known investment research firm Citrini officially commented on X platform: "If you are an LP of Situational Awareness, you invested in the fund based on information from its offering memo, such as 'AI is the only thing that matters, and if you recognize this and wish to invest in a vehicle that expresses this view by going all-in long on the most leveraged expression of our most optimistic AI thesis in the stock market, then you invest.' Not just because you're bullish on AI, but because you believe Leopold is one of the few 'hundreds' / knows these 'hundreds' who will bring about the machine god by 2030. And then, over the next two years, this fund did exactly what it promised. And it went up. Probably over 20x, if I recall correctly.Again, in this scenario, you are the person who read 'Situational Awareness' (that paper) and said: 'Yes, I agree AI is more powerful than nuclear bombs and will turn the world upside down before the end of this decade. And I want to put my investment into the hedge fund version of that thesis.' Now those stocks have fallen, so the fund's assets have also fallen.Let me ask you—do these LPs look like the type of people who would turn bearish on AI just because SK Hynix dropped 50% in six weeks? The kind who likely view the level of tech optimism akin to 'I'm going long TQQQ' as normal people treat municipal bond fund investments?Yeah... I wouldn't expect many of them to be calling Mr. Ash Burner to complain right now. Some people don't realize how insane a 2200% gain since inception (2024) really is. To put it in perspective, if you invested $100 million when SALP launched and lost ninety percent (of those gains) in July, your investment would still be worth $230 million today.I think LPs are very likely to buy the dip. Situational Awareness will get the money they're asking for. And once the capital is in, they will unwind their (likely short-term) hedges because they won't face the risk of being liquidated by their prime broker. This means the market makers who sold them those hedges will have to delta-hedge their unwind on what could be a fairly significant notional exposure. At the same time, they will deploy these funds into what they see as 'the best buying opportunity since April 2025.' I don't think Leopold is in trouble; rather, it's more likely he can raise the capital he needs, meaning it's more probable Leopold triggers a market bottom than drives AI stocks lower.If there's something I'm missing that would cause this group of AI super-believers—who are likely still significantly profitable on their SALP investment—to decide they'd rather not buy the dip, then yeah, any stock that even smells of AI might head straight to hell. But... (that's not the reality).”

According to Bloomberg, Dutch semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASM International NV issued third-quarter revenue guidance, expecting quarterly revenue ending in September (at constant exchange rates) to reach 1.1 billion euros (approximately 1.3 billion US dollars), plus or minus 5%, higher than the analysts' average expectation of 1.04 billion euros. However, although the guidance exceeded market expectations, the company's stock performance remained flat, failing to elicit a positive response from investors. Analysts pointed out that this reflects that current market expectations for beneficiaries of the AI computing power investment boom have risen significantly, and simply "beating expectations" is no longer sufficient to boost market sentiment.

The Situational Awareness fund, managed by "AI Stock God" Leopold Aschenbrenner, accumulated a gain of 439% before June 2026. However, it suffered severe setbacks during the AI sector sell-off in July. The fund is currently communicating with existing investors and lenders to seek new capital and is offering some LPs the opportunity to purchase assets from its portfolio.Sources say this capital discussion appears more like an ad-hoc response than an organized new fundraising round. The fund had previously used leverage through prime brokers at several major investment banks to amplify its AI trading exposure, turning market drawdowns further into funding pressure.In a letter to investors on July 24, Aschenbrenner acknowledged that the fund failed to avoid this market shock, noting that Asian markets were particularly affected. However, he believes this sell-off could present the best buying opportunity since early 2025. He plans to open a window for new capital on August 1st and views Anthropic's potential IPO as a catalyst for the second half of the year.According to disclosures, some holdings saw significant declines in July. Oracle and AMD fell approximately 20% for the month, while Nebius, Saronic AI, Bloom Energy, Sandisk, and others saw even larger drops. The Nasdaq 100 index fell about 10% in July, and South Korea's Kospi index dropped by roughly one-third.Currently, lacking specific data on the fund's exact drawdown magnitude, it is difficult to determine whether this fundraising is a passive capital injection driven by leverage pressure or an active move to increase positions for an opportunity. However, market trends suggest it is closer to the former. If forced selling occurs, the deleveraging process could also create discount opportunities in assets whose fundamentals haven't materially changed.

Odaily News Trader 0xSun stated on social media that during Robinhood's earnings call, the only token appearing in a fleeting search bar was CASHCAT. Additionally, Robinhood CEO Vlad, when discussing the Robinhood Chain, mentioned that the chain will be built around RWA, adding that he also likes Meme coins.As a result, CASHCAT's market cap rebounded from approximately $30 million to nearly $50 million. 0xSun believes that an ideal trajectory for a public chain resembles the Base ecosystem in late 2024, initially driven by factors such as founder influence and team background, and later ignited by events like exchange listings. Currently, Robinhood possesses similar conditions, and tokens on its chain could benefit from expectations of potential exchange listings.Furthermore, 0xSun noted that the Meme coin PIPEDOG on the Robinhood chain saw its market cap quickly surge past $75 million within a few hours. The project team locked the liquidity pool and refunded 173 ETH to users affected by the initial contract. The project currently has deep liquidity, with the pool containing approximately $4.5 million in ETH at a market cap of around $30 million.Previously active HOODRAT also once approached zero due to the overall downturn of the Robinhood chain but recently received attention from Matt, the original artist of the Pepe comic, causing its market cap to rebound from a low of $500,000 to $5 million.Beyond Meme coins, 0xSun indicated that STONKBROKER is currently one of the better projects within the Robinhood ecosystem that combines NFT, RWA, and game mechanics, making it worthy of continued attention.
