Peter Schiff warns that the AI bubble is bursting, as Kimi K3 intensifies low-cost competition pressure
: Economist and Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff stated that as Chinese AI model competitors accelerate their rise, the AI bubble is further deflating. The Kimi K3 launched by Moonshot AI is intensifying low-cost AI competition in China, putting pressure on the valuations of US AI-related companies. The current market "is not a bubble in AI technology itself, but a bubble in AI stocks," and he believes this bubble may have already started to burst.Peter Schiff mentioned that AI-related stocks are showing weakness, with $SPCX currently trading below $121, approximately 11% lower than its IPO price and over 46% down from its all-time high. As low-cost AI models continue to emerge, the market's previously high growth expectations for AI companies may face reassessment, and investors need to be wary of valuation correction risks for AI-themed stocks. However, Peter Schiff also emphasized that AI technology itself is not a bubble; what is truly being impacted is the capital market valuation frenzy centered around the AI theme.
Analysis: Kimi Sparks Wall Street Concerns Over "Second DeepSeek Shock", Funds Flowing Out of High-Valuation Tech Stocks
According to The Wall Street Journal, following Moonshot AI's release of the low-cost, high-performance large model Kimi K3, Wall Street has once again seen concerns about a "DeepSeek-style shock," with the AI chip sector facing selling pressure. Morgan Stanley stated that the market may experience AI industry turbulence similar to that triggered by DeepSeek in early 2025, where the rise of low-cost, high-performance AI models could challenge top U.S. model developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic, while simultaneously weakening demand for the large-scale compute infrastructure underpinning the U.S. AI investment boom.

Polymarket shows "US government will ban open-source AI models in 2026" probability currently at 16%
The PPP Prediction Market Tool monitors that on Polymarket, for the event "Will the US government ban open-source AI models in 2026?", the "Yes" probability is currently at 16%.According to the resolution rules, if the US federal government, before December 31, 2026, through legislation, executive orders, export controls, or other formal policy actions, restricts the US public's access or use of a specific open-source AI model, the market outcome will be resolved as "Yes." Otherwise, the market outcome will be resolved as "No." Eligible open-source AI models refer to general-purpose large language models or multimodal foundation models whose model weights and source code are publicly downloadable and can be run on hardware under user control, such as Meta Llama, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, etc.Recently, the open-source Kimi K3 model launched by Moonshot AI has drawn market attention to whether it will impact closed-source AI. OpenAI's Director of Strategy, Dean W. Ball, stated on X platform that the US government might adopt soft legal measures to prevent open-source models from entering the US. David Sacks, Chairman of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, believes that using regulatory uncertainty to suppress open-source competition is "unacceptable."Join the PPP Signal Push Community to stay ahead and seize the opportunity.
Polymarket new: "Will the US government revoke public access to another major AI model?"
The PPP Prediction Market tool monitors that Polymarket has listed a new event: "Will the US government revoke public access to another major AI model?" The current probability is reported at 33%.The settlement rules state: If the US federal government, by the end of 2026, passes relevant legislation, issues an executive order, implements export controls, or takes any other action that substantially restricts US public access to a major AI model, the market outcome will be "Yes." Otherwise, the outcome will be "No." A "qualifying action" refers to a formal measure taken by the US government, the effect of which is equivalent to completely prohibiting the public from accessing a specific AI model within the United States. Furthermore, the settlement rules emphasize that regardless of the action's true purpose or nominal goal; if the action effectively results in the public being unable to access the model within the US—for example, prohibiting the model from being provided to foreign citizens or governments, as long as the general public cannot access the model through conventional channels within the US—it meets the qualification requirements. Merely excluding access to the model from a single channel is insufficient. Removals of public access that are not caused by any formal action of the US government are not eligible."Mainstream AI model" refers to the flagship, general-purpose large language model or multimodal foundation model developed by one of the following companies: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (including Google DeepMind), Meta, xAI, Microsoft, Amazon, Mistral AI, DeepSeek, Alibaba, ByteDance, Moonshot AI, and Zhipu AI (Z.ai). Models designed for specific tasks, or those that are outdated, used solely for research or preview purposes, do not meet this criterion.The action can target a single model or a group of models, as long as at least one major AI model becomes inaccessible to the public within the US as a result. A temporary suspension of public access to a model meets this condition. However, if an action has been implemented or a related resolution has been issued, but the public can still access the model before the resolution takes effect, that action does not meet the condition.The information sources for this market are official announcements and information from the US government and the relevant AI companies. However, reliable media reports may also be referenced to form a consensus.The Odaily Seer Channel continues to monitor prediction markets, observing changes before prices are set.
MoonPay Launches First Native Crypto Headless Payment Platform Supporting One-Click Crypto Purchases via Apple Pay
According to PR Newswire, MoonPay has officially launched MoonPay Headless Onramps—the industry’s first native crypto checkout platform enabling one-click crypto purchases via Apple Pay, credit cards, and Google Pay across the U.S., the European Economic Area, and over 100 countries worldwide. In contrast, competing headless payment solutions currently support mobile payments only within the U.S. This product replaces MoonPay’s branded widget with a pure API integration, enabling partners to deliver a fully white-labeled and highly customizable checkout experience—while MoonPay handles payment processing, compliance, and identity verification in the background. Launch partners include Moonshot, Bitcoin.com, Bread, and Trust Wallet. Notably, Apple Pay is now fully embedded into partner apps for the first time: verified users can complete purchases with a single tap—no redirects or re-verification required.
Chinese companies including Moonshot AI weigh corporate restructuring following the reversal of the Meta-Manus deal
The immediate trigger for this regulatory tightening was Meta’s $2 billion acquisition of Manus—a China-founded AI agent company—after which relevant authorities ordered the deal’s reversal and launched a systematic review of the “domestically operated, offshore-registered” corporate model. Dismantling a red-chip structure is procedurally complex, typically taking six months to one year and involving multiple steps—including repurchasing offshore equity, establishing a joint venture, and having investors re-invest. Moreover, shares of such joint ventures listed in Hong Kong are subject to a 12-month lock-up period—twice as long as that for ordinary red-chip stocks. Analysts note that if red-chip structures face comprehensive restrictions, Chinese startups’ ability to raise U.S. dollar funding from overseas will be significantly weakened.
Wintermute Weekly Report: CPI Falls More Than Expected Amid Escalating Iran Tensions, BTC Closes Higher Against Trend to Become Week's Strongest Risk Asset
According to Wintermute OTC trader @Jjay_dm, June CPI fell 0.4% month-over-month, the largest single-month drop since April 2020, overall inflation decreased from 4.2% to 3.5%, the market immediately priced in a hold for the July FOMC, and the probability of a rate hike in September also dropped from over 75% to 63%. However, the US restarted a naval blockade on Iranian ports and conducted air strikes for the fourth consecutive night, Brent crude surged 15.54% in a single week, reaching a high of $87 per barrel, pressure for energy inflation to rebound is accumulating, casting doubt on the sustainability of this CPI decline. Meanwhile, China's Moonshot released the open-source model Kimi K3, claiming performance comparable to frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic, directly impacting the AI compute narrative, TSMC fell 7% in a single day, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index recorded its worst weekly performance in 15 months, the Nasdaq dropped 4.16%, and Nvidia temporarily ceded the top spot in global market cap to Apple. The crypto market, however, strengthened against the trend, becoming the best-performing risk asset of the week. Within minutes of the CPI data release, BTC surged from around $62,000 to $64,900, ETH jumped 7% in a single day to $1,884, CoinGlass data showed approximately $134 million in short positions were liquidated within the first hour.

Analyst: Kimi K3 Ultra-large Model to Be Open-Sourced Soon, AI Infrastructure Platforms May Be the Biggest Beneficiaries
analyst KawzInvests stated that Moonshot AI's upcoming Kimi K3 could become a significant event in the open-source AI space, and the infrastructure demand behind it may drive growth for AI cloud service platforms. Kimi K3 has approximately 2.8 trillion parameters, making it one of the ultra-large-scale open-source models. According to Moonshot's official evaluation, the model's performance is only slightly behind frontier models like Claude Fable 5 and GPT 5.6 Sol, and the full model weights are expected to be released on July 27.KawzInvests pointed out that a model of this scale cannot run on an ordinary laptop or even a single server; users need a computing cluster composed of a large number of GPUs to complete model loading and inference. When top-tier open-source models are made available for free, the biggest beneficiaries might not be ordinary users, but rather platforms that offer model hosting and inference services. For example, $DOCN (DigitalOcean) already supports serverless inference services for models like Kimi K2.6. Developers do not need to deploy hardware; they can call the model via API and pay per Token. Additionally, the platform hosts over 70 models and covers GPU leasing, model fine-tuning, and AI Agent development tools.As more large-scale open-source models are released, developers' demand for low-barrier AI infrastructure will continue to increase. Model hosting, inference services, and GPU cloud platforms may become key beneficiaries in the open-source AI wave.

Alliance Co-founder: Decentralized Social Graph Isn't the Core Value That Attracts Users to Farcaster—Social Trading Could Be the Direction
Odaily News: Imran, co-founder of Alliance, stated on X that Farcaster is a valuable infrastructure and application experiment, but a decentralized social graph alone is insufficient to attract users away from traditional social platforms like X.He believes the direction truly worth focusing on is social trading—integrating new token discovery, speculative trading, and PnL reputation into a native product loop, a model that is currently difficult for traditional social platforms like X and Instagram to replicate. Additionally, Imran summarized this product evolution path as MetaMask → Phantom → Farcaster → Moonshot → Vector → Fomo/Pump, noting that each generation of products further reveals what crypto users genuinely care about.Previously, Neynar co-founder Rish Mukherji posted on X that the team has initiated a process to find new ownership or operational teams for Farcaster, Clanker, and Neynar.
