    Why Pi Crypto Value is Up Today?

    Pi crypto gained 3.19% over the past 24 hours to trade around $0.0859, outperforming the broader cryptocurrency market. The move appears to be driven primarily by market-wide risk appetite and Pi’s relatively lower liquidity, which amplified gains despite the absence of major project-specific news. Analysts are watching the $0.085 support level closely, with a move above $0.088 potentially extending the recovery, while a drop below $0.083 could resume the token’s longer-term downtrend.

Meanwhile, the Japanese yen remained supported following coordinated U.S.-Japan intervention, while expectations of further Bank of Japan rate hikes kept 10-year Japanese government bond yields near multi-year highs.

    Arthur Hayes Says AI Bubble Could Mirror 2008 Financial Crisis

    BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes believes the current AI investment boom could resemble the 2008 credit crisis rather than the 2000 dot-com crash, citing heavy spending on data centers and AI infrastructure. In his latest essay, Hayes argued that excessive investment could eventually trigger a market correction, prompting central banks to adopt monetary easing measures. He said increased liquidity from such policies could ultimately support a new Bitcoin and broader crypto market bull cycle.

    KOSPI Index Volatility Surpasses Bitcoin as South Korea Stock Market Swings Intensify

    The KOSPI Index has become more volatile than Bitcoin, with its annualized volatility climbing above 60% in 2026, making it the world’s most volatile major equity benchmark. The sharp swings have been driven by the index’s heavy concentration in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which together account for more than half of its weighting, as well as rapid growth in leveraged ETFs tied to the two chipmakers. In response, South Korean regulators have tightened margin requirements, restricted leveraged ETF exposure, increased trading costs, and paused approvals for new single-stock leveraged ETFs in an effort to reduce speculation and stabilize the market.

    When Does SpaceX Report Earnings?

    SpaceX is scheduled to report its Q2 2026 earnings after the U.S. market closes on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Management will host its first public earnings webcast at 4:30 p.m. ET (2:00 a.m. IST on August 5). This marks SpaceX’s first quarterly earnings report since its IPO, making it a key event for investors. Wall Street will closely watch Starlink revenue growth, AI infrastructure spending, Starship progress, profit margins, and management’s guidance. The report is also significant because it precedes a major insider lock-up expiration on August 6, which could increase stock volatility depending on the earnings results.

    Will Crypto Recover?

    Yes, but the recovery is likely to be gradual rather than a sharp rally. Today’s market shows Bitcoin stabilizing near $64,000 as investors absorb recent negative catalysts, including Strategy’s Bitcoin sales and the Coldcard wallet exploit, without triggering heavy selling. Spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to record net inflows, indicating sustained institutional demand despite weak retail participation. At the same time, easing oil prices have reduced inflation concerns, improving risk sentiment. However, low trading volumes, cautious investor positioning, and uncertainty over upcoming macroeconomic data could limit near-term upside. A sustained recovery depends on stronger institutional inflows and improving macro conditions.
