Fundstrat’s head of research, Tom Lee, says the Federal Reserve may be forced into a rate-cutting phase after overdoing monetary tightening. In a new interview on CNBC, Lee says he’s watching for a point when the Fed could run into an “accident,” where it waits too long to address a slowing economy. Lee says he’s anticipating a potential “panic” scenario from the Fed. “There could be an accident because what we are ignoring is that housing is choking and collapsing under the weight of higher interest rates, and the labor market isn’t as strong as it appears. When we look at the ability to get a job, it’s much harder. So… there’s long and variable lags, and there could be an accident where the Fed would have to panic, so I think that’s something we have to watch in the incoming data… I think there could be a point where the Fed suddenly realizes the risks are actually to the downside for the economy weakening, and so the Fed will actually have to respond to an economy that they’re strangulating and really fighting what they believe is a supply shock inflation. So I’m a little concerned that the Fed could be late if they continue to hold.” Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.

Blockchain security firm SlowMist’s security director, 23pds, warned investors about a new cryptocurrency scam disguised as a cold wallet in a statement he made on social media platform X. In this type of scam that has emerged recently, malicious people impersonate official institutions and make posts that give the impression of an “official giveaway” on the X platform. These posts claim that popular hardware wallets like Ledger are being distributed for free. To increase credibility, scammers send physical devices that look really “new and sealed.” Related News: After Jerome Powell's Statements This Week, Are Altcoin Season Dreams Sinking? Analyst Explains But experts say the real danger lies in the device itself or in the “startup guide” that comes with it. These wallets could have been tampered with in advance, or users could be tricked into sharing their recovery phrases (mnemonics) through social engineering methods. SlowMist emphasized that such “free money” opportunities could actually lead users to suffer huge losses, putting millions of dollars worth of assets at risk. Therefore, wallets should only be purchased from official sources and third-party software should not be allowed in the installation process. *This is not investment advice.

Mistral AI CEO Arthur Mensch has warned the global population of the biggest threats that artificial intelligence poses to humans. As global tech leaders continue to debate the impact of the technology on the job market, the Mistral AI boss says the biggest skill to humans might be “deskilling.” In a recent interview , the Mistral AI boss dismissed claims that artificial intelligence will lead to more cuts to white-collar jobs. Another claim was made by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who said that AI could be on its way to eliminating 50% of entry-level office jobs. Amodei mentioned that as producers of the technology, AI firms and labs need to be honest about what is coming. He added that unemployment could increase by 10% to 20% in the next five years. Mistral AI CEO reveals AI’s threat to humans Mensch dismissed the idea that artificial intelligence could run up the unemployment rate in the future. He said the bigger risk is that people might become lazier as they rely on the technology to search for information. The CEO, who co-founded the open-source large language model developer alongside Guillaume Sample and Timothy Lacroix in April 2023, mentioned that a way to avoid this is to ensure that humans remain actively involved in reviewing and critiquing artificial intelligence outputs. He added that developers can avoid the risk if they look at it from a design aspect. “It’s a risk that you can avoid, if you think of it from a design perspective, if you make sure that you have the right human input, that you keep the human active,” he said. The Mistral AI CEO, who spoke at the Viva tech conference in Paris this month also added that it is important that humans do not see every output from artificial intelligence models as the truth. The Mistral boss said that if people continue to be interested in learning, being able to process and criticize information is one of the most important components of learning. Mensch, who was a former Google DeepMind researcher also responded to a recent statement from Anthropic CPO Mike Krieger, who stated that AI is impacting entry-level engineering roles in the industry, even at AI firms. He added that Anthropic is focused on hiring experienced engineers, noting his hesitation with some entry-level workers. Krieger mentioned that software engineers could see their jobs change in the next three years as coders are now outsourcing more of their work to humans. He added that humans will focus on “coming up with the right ideas, doing the right user interaction design, figuring out how to delegate work correctly, and then figuring out how to review things at scale — and that’s probably some combination of maybe a comeback of some static analysis or maybe AI-driven analysis tools of what was actually produced.” Mensch also discussed Amodei’s assertion that AI could replace half of the entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years, noting that the Anthropic CEO liked to spread fear about AI as a marketing tactic. He said the assertion was an overstatement and he doesn’t see it happening in the next five years. Instead, Mensch said he thought AI could change white-collar jobs moving forward. “I do expect that we’ll have more relational tasks because that’s not something you can easily replace,” he said.

Could $2,000 be ETH’s final lifeline before the plunge?
A recent thread by crypto commentator Abraham Liim (@AbrahamArmy) explored the potential financial implications for Ripple and co-founder Chris Larsen if XRP’s price rises to $10. Liim’s post comes at a time when market participants are once again evaluating the long-term value proposition of XRP. Liim calculated that if XRP were to reach $10, Ripple’s escrow holdings would be valued at $362.08 billion. He also projected that Chris Larsen’s XRP holdings would surge to $26.43 billion. He noted that while Ripple did not create XRP, large amounts of the token were distributed to the company and its founders in its early stages. If $XRP Hits $10, Chris Larsen Holdings Would Surge to $26.43 billion, and Ripple Escrow Will Be Worth $362.08 billion. Check Thread pic.twitter.com/zkLIQxMEXF — Abraham Liim (@AbrahamArmy) June 21, 2025 Ripple’s Escrow Strategy Ripple committed in 2017 to locking up the majority of its XRP in escrow, setting up monthly releases of 1 billion XRP to provide market transparency and prevent sudden surges in available supply. Through this structured approach, Ripple retains control of the largest portion of XRP, giving the company significant exposure to any future price increase. Liim emphasized this fact, noting that both Ripple and Larsen could benefit tremendously if XRP appreciates significantly. By December 2024, Larsen’s net worth had surged by almost $6 billion , due to XRP’s growth after Donald Trump’s election victory. The asset’s price kept climbing until January, adding more to the co-founder’s net worth, and Liim expects a similar situation to play out soon. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 Analysts Expect Significant Growth Liim cited analyst DK64Trades, who recently suggested that XRP could break above $10 in the current market cycle . This assessment was based on technical signals from the XRP dominance chart, which measures XRP’s market share relative to the rest of the crypto market. According to Liim’s data, XRP has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens. Of that, 63.76 billion XRP are in circulation, with another 36.2 billion locked in escrow. Positive News for Ripple and Chris Larsen Liim’s summary highlighted the massive value shift that could occur with a price rise to $10. He estimated that Ripple’s escrow would grow in value by $285 billion and Chris Larsen’s holdings by $20 billion compared to current valuations. This discussion comes amid growing attention on XRP’s institutional role and its long-term viability as a global reserve currency . The token’s utility in cross-border payments and Ripple’s enterprise-focused adoption strategy all contribute to its appeal, making the $10 prediction feasible. Whether or not XRP reaches the $10 mark, the potential upside for Ripple and Larsen remains considerable, given their substantial stake in the asset.

Following US President Donald Trump's announcement that airstrikes were carried out on three major nuclear facilities in Iran, there were sharp movements in the cryptocurrency market. This morning, Ethereum lost 7.7 percent of its value, falling to $2,200, while Bitcoin remained largely stable. Ethereum Price Dropped More Than Most Smaller Altcoins ETH recouped some of its losses during the day, reaching its lowest intraday price since May 9. The leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, briefly saw $101,000 before trading close to its previous levels. Since traditional financial markets were closed over the weekend, cryptocurrencies were the first to react to the developments. “The market is watching geopolitical developments with concern,” said Caroline Moron, co-founder of crypto derivatives market liquidity provider Orbit Markets, noting that investors are keeping a close eye on levels of $100,000 for Bitcoin and $2,000 for Ethereum. Moron said oil prices will also be on the agenda when traditional markets reopen.

Trump, who stated that a “bomb-laden attack” was carried out on the Fordow facility in particular, stated that this facility was being closely monitored by the international community on suspicion of nuclear weapons production due to its uranium enrichment activities. “Uncertainty over whether the US will attack Iran has been creating selling pressure throughout the week,” said Cosmo Jiang, general partner at Pantera Capital Management. “However, confirmation of the attacks and the imminent resolution have led prices to find a local bottom.” According to Coinglass data, a total of $679 million worth of positions were liquidated in the crypto market in the last 24 hours. $554 million of this figure consisted of long positions and $67 million consisted of short positions. Jiang also noted that during times of geopolitical uncertainty, “Bitcoin usually leads the recovery.” *This is not investment advice.
