The digital asset industry is experiencing its most severe downturn due to a combination of factors. According to Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway, hosts of Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast, the current period is marked not just by falling prices but by a "loss of faith" and a systemic crisis of ideas. Weisenthal emphasized that while Bitcoin has seen deeper declines in its history, the current situation is distinguished by the demoralization of market participants. Key reasons identified by experts include: collapse of protective narratives: the first cryptocurrency failed to confirm its status as an inflation hedge — amid dollar instability, investors preferred gold; competition with AI: the artificial intelligence sector has begun actively absorbing capital, engineering talent, and investor attention. Additionally, miners are forced to compete with AI data centers for electricity; institutionalization issues: the launch of spot ETFs and mainstream adoption have deprived the market of the "early-stage" development argument. Meanwhile, Wall Street's interest has shifted from trading activity to stablecoins and tokenization; technological risks: the hosts mentioned the threat from quantum computing to cryptographic security and pressure from corporate holders who may begin selling off their reserves. The situation is exacerbated by an "identity crisis" amid the absence of new growth drivers. According to Weisenthal and Alloway, even the launch of powerful models like Claude 4.6 from Anthropic and GPT-5.3 from OpenAI is drawing attention away, leaving the crypto sphere in the shadow of technological progress. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $66,975, Ethereum at $1,874, and Solana at $74.97. Despite high levels relative to past cycles, experts insist that structurally this "cold" is the harshest in the industry's history. Source: CoinGecko. Earlier, on June 2, the price of the first cryptocurrency fell below $70,000. The decline occurred amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, as well as due to Strategy's sale of part of its reserves.

Uber has set a $1500 monthly limit per employee for the use of AI services. The restriction applies to coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor, according to Bloomberg. Expenses for each service are tracked separately. Employees monitor their spending through an internal dashboard and can request additional funding in special cases. Uber stated that the limits are intended to help "responsibly" develop experiments with agent AI within the company. According to Bloomberg, the measure was introduced in recent months and applies only to programming tools. The decision followed a rapid increase in internal AI usage. In April, Uber's CTO Pravin Nepalli Naga reported that the company had already exhausted its annual AI budget. Previously, Uber encouraged employees to use AI "as much as possible" and compared teams based on activity in internal rankings. In May, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated that about 10% of the company's code changes are generated by AI agents. He noted that the use of such tools has increased not only among developers but also in legal and marketing teams. Uber also announced that it will slow down hiring, considering the impact of internal AI application. Uber COO Andrew Macdonald acknowledged that the company still finds it challenging to directly link the rise in AI spending to the emergence of new useful features for customers. He mentioned that such a connection might become clearer in the future, but it is currently difficult to establish even with the growth of internal metrics. Back in November 2025, Uber launched a driverless taxi service in Abu Dhabi.

Microsoft announced the topological quantum chip Majorana 2. The new processor features a lead-based material stack, enhancing qubit stability more than 1000 times compared to the previous generation. According to the company, the qubit lifetime in Majorana 2 exceeds 20 seconds, reaching up to a minute in some cases. In comparison, Majorana 1 had a range of 1 ms to 12 ms. Microsoft also achieved operation durations of about 1 μs and a qubit size of approximately 0.01 mm. The key change in the new chip is related to materials. Many competitors, including Google and IBM, use aluminum conductors, whereas Microsoft switched to lead. According to the tech giant's Vice President Jason Zander, this change enabled the 1000-fold improvement in performance. The corporation aims to create a scalable quantum computer by 2029, having roughly halved previous timelines. AI Assistance Microsoft also stated that artificial intelligence accelerated material discovery and helped refine production. AI tools analyzed scientific research, searched for suitable compounds, automated measurements, optimized manufacturing processes, and identified defects affecting qubit reliability. Simultaneously, the firm opened access to the Microsoft Discovery platform for research and development. It allows companies to create teams of AI agents, connect them to internal data and external scientific sources, build hypotheses, plan experiments, analyze results, and repeat the cycle. The quantum team used Discovery to manage workflows. Microsoft's Corporate Vice President for Quantum Technologies Zulfi Alam called the automation of measurements with agentic AI a "turning point." In June, D-Wave Quantum revealed a roadmap for the phased development of quantum systems. By 2032, they plan to create a fault-tolerant quantum computer with 100 logical qubits.
