Bitcoin fell below $80,000 due to the new U.S. airstrikes on Iran, with oil prices rising and triggering risk-off sentiment in the crypto market. Futures open interest decreased by 1.5%, with liquidation amounts nearing $300 million, and options trading shifted towards protective BTC put options. Although mainstream coins and Memecoins performed weakly, DeFi tokens performed well, with ONDO rising over 8% due to its involvement in cross-border U.S. Treasury redemption transactions with JPMorgan, Mastercard, and Ripple.

The fund has reduced its positions to a "very minimal" level. According to system modeling through 2028, the upside potential for assets such as chips and data centers is now very limited and faces risks of financing and construction delays. Bridgewater's strategic focus has shifted to AI disruption and application sectors.
