Multicoin Capital managing partner Tushar Jain said the cryptocurrency market has bottomed and is entering a turning point, citing signs such as subdued selling after major hacking incidents and rising application adoption. According to Foresight News, Jain made the comments on the When Shift Happens podcast, saying market sentiment has “truly bottomed” and that prices have become disconnected from fundamentals, which he described as part of a “perfect storm” indicating a shift. Jain said he remains bullish on Solana over the long term, arguing that SOL provides the right architecture for spot trading and tokenized securities. He also expressed optimism about Hyperliquid’s position in the derivatives sector and said Multicoin holds sizable positions in both. On ZEC, Jain said Multicoin has accumulated a significant share of the token’s supply and views it as a return to the industry’s “cypherpunk” values. He said he believes ZEC could enter the top five by market capitalization. Jain also outlined a position management approach he described as a “three-part method”: buying one-third immediately, dollar-cost averaging into the second third, and reserving the final third as flexible capital for sharp market declines. He added that during a Zcash code vulnerability incident, the team increased its position significantly after observing and confirming there was no hacker exploitation.

Do-Fluoride’s shares fell to the daily limit in morning trading, and were down 10% at 36.99 yuan per share by the midday close. According to Jin10, the company disclosed on the evening of July 10 its earnings guidance for the first half of 2026. Do-Fluoride said it expected net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company to be 450 million yuan to 560 million yuan, up 776.68% to 990.98% year on year. Some market views said lithium hexafluorophosphate prices weakened in the second quarter, while higher upstream lithium carbonate prices squeezed gross margin, leading to a contraction in profit per ton. They also said that after a sharp earlier rise in the stock price, the company proactively clarified popular themes, stating that the share of semiconductor-grade hydrofluoric acid was very low, and that it had no production line, no products, and no substantive orders for tungsten hexafluoride, meaning it could not be realized in the short term. In response, Do-Fluoride said its industry does have seasonal fluctuations, with both prices and shipment volumes varying. It said the second quarter is the off-season for the lithium battery industry, and that rising upstream lithium carbonate prices have an impact on the company. To address higher raw material costs, the company said it would also consider raising prices for its products. Based on third-party quotations, the company said the current price of lithium hexafluorophosphate was around 100,000 yuan per ton. It added that specific product information would be subject to the formal interim report.
