Ark Invest bought 210,121 shares of SpaceX for about $32.5 million after the stock fell 16.43% in a single session. The purchases were spread across ARKK, ARKQ, ARKW and ARKX.

Tether said it will wind down the Alloy platform and discontinue its aUSDT stablecoin, which was launched in June 2024 and is minted against XAUT (Tether Gold) collateral. It described the move as product streamlining rather than an exit from tokenized gold, while keeping XAUT as a core offering with a market value of about $3 billion backed by more than 22 tons of physical gold. Alloy’s market cap is around $1.2 million. The shutdown is not expected to directly disrupt trading in the traditional gold market, but it further centers XAUT as a key on-chain gateway to gold exposure.

The market focus is on a shift toward a more hawkish Fed policy path, which has weighed on precious metals and broader commodities.

Peter Schiff criticized Strategy for issuing shares at a discount to buy Bitcoin, arguing the approach dilutes Bitcoin per share and creates a “negative Bitcoin yield.” Strategy added about 3,137 BTC across two purchases in June, but Schiff said the financing structure leaves shareholders worse off. Dividend obligations tied to the STRC preferred stock and a small Bitcoin sale totaling $2.5 million have also fueled questions about the sustainability of the company’s capital strategy.
