Ju pointed out that global spot ETF inflows for July were significantly lower at 53,000 BTC. He emphasized that this movement is not attributed to ETF wallets but indicates that large holders, or whales, are accumulating Bitcoin at unprecedented levels.
These addresses, described as custodial wallets, do not belong to exchanges or miners and show no outflows.

He explains that a distributive environment is characterized by low inflows to accumulation addresses and a high realized cap within a short period, driven by retail activities such as deposits to exchanges.
The realized cap metric tracks the value of Bitcoin based on its price when it last moved, providing insights into how many holders are in profit or loss.

Salesforce Shatters the "SaaS Doomsday" Theory? Bank of America Throws Cold Water: Traditional "Per-Seat Pricing" Model Still Undermined by AI, New Businesses Can't Justify High Valuation Yet
Bank of America believes that although Agentforce ARR has surged by 240%, the absolute scale is only $1.5 billion, which is negligible compared to the $46 billion revenue base. The substantial contribution of AI to revenue remains at an early stage, and the core "per-seat licensing" business model continues to face structural erosion from agent-based AI. The organic growth rate is only 6.4%, still considered moderate. The current valuation is already at the high end among peers, and the risk-return is asymmetric. The bank maintains an "underperform" rating for Salesforce.
