On June 4, he noted that capital markets had funded about $400 billion of AI buildout over six months, while bitcoin ETFs saw about $4 billion of outflows since May 14

Future correlation breakdowns could become signals of capital rotation between bitcoin and high-demand IPO opportunities. Bitcoin ’s steep weekly drop has sparked a broader debate over what is driving the latest sell-off, with some investors pointing to capital rotation rather than crypto-specific weakness.
