MARA Holdings purchased 1,000 BTC from FalconX, Robinhood's layoffs of over 10% led to a nearly 9% increase against the trend with a record trading volume in June

According to BBX data, the Federal Reserve's hawkish shift yesterday triggered a general decline in cryptocurrency concept stocks, but corporate buybacks and stock differentiation occurred simultaneously. The core dynamics are as follows:

• MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: $MARA) has purchased 1,000 BTC from the cryptocurrency liquidity platform FalconX (privately held), with a transaction value of approximately $66.7 million (equivalent to an average price of about $66,700 per coin); this purchase occurred during the same time window as the release of the Federal Reserve's hawkish dot plot and Bitcoin's downward pressure on that day. This marks the company's first clearly recorded counter-cyclical buyback action since the large-scale sale of 20,880 BTC in Q1 (resulting in a Q1 net loss of $1.3 billion). As of the last disclosure (March 31), the company's BTC holdings were 35,303 coins; following this additional purchase, the total holdings are expected to rise to approximately 36,303 coins (pending confirmation from the company's official SEC filing). This transaction has not yet been disclosed in a formal press release or 8-K filing from the company, with data sourced from on-chain monitoring, awaiting official confirmation.

• Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ: $HOOD) surged against the trend yesterday, reaching $110.73 during the day and closing at $105.20 (some real-time quotes showed an intraday increase of up to 12%), with a trading volume of 69.77 million shares, about 2.3 times the three-month average. The company announced that it would cut 10% of its full-time employees (resulting in approximately $28 million in restructuring costs, including about $20 million in severance and benefits costs and about $8 million in stock-based compensation costs). CEO Vlad Tenev emphasized that this move "stems from a position of strength rather than financial pressure"; concurrently, it was disclosed that the average daily trading volume in June reached historic highs across stocks, options, and prediction markets, with platform assets reaching $377 billion in May (up 48% year-on-year), and 27.7 million funded customers, with net inflows of $5.6 billion in May. Multiple institutions, including Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Needham, Cantor Fitzgerald, and Argus, raised their target prices to a range of $95 to $110 on the same day; Reuters also reported that the SEC is preparing to allow cryptocurrency companies to trade tokenized stocks and other products, which is also viewed as a positive by the market.
