The PANews June 2026 column article popularity ranking TOP10 (hereinafter referred to as the "popularity chart") was released today. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of all column articles on the PANews platform in June based on content quality and article view counts, creating this month's popularity chart.
June Review
In June, the global macro and tech stock narrative continued to evolve, with the AI wave reshaping the competitive landscape of underlying hardware and large models. Micron Technology released earnings exceeding expectations, and its market value surpassed Meta for the first time. Meanwhile, the capital war and commercialization of large models intensified: Anthropic's valuation surpassed OpenAI, DeepSeek completed massive financing of 50 billion RMB, and the professional version of Doubao officially started charging for commercialization. SpaceX finally went public, with its market value briefly surpassing Microsoft to become the fourth largest company globally; spot gold fell below the $4000 mark multiple times, and oil prices also dropped back to the levels before the U.S.-Israel conflict.
In the cryptocurrency market, this month's performance can be described as a "bull nightmare." Bitcoin continued to weaken and fell below the $60,000 threshold, suffering a monthly decline of over 20%, marking its worst monthly performance since 2022; the Coinbase premium index was negative for 40 consecutive days, with both liquidity and confidence facing a double blow. Institutional investors also faced immense pressure, with a net outflow of $4.5 billion from the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF in June, marking a record low monthly performance; after Strategy sold off 32 Bitcoins, the prices of BTC, MSTR, and preferred stock STRC all fell.
In such a narrative-intensive month, the PANews platform saw a surge of high-quality investment research and analysis content. New column authors performed strongly, occupying half of the spots on the list, among which the AI research institution Think AI stood out, with 2 in-depth articles selected for the TOP 10 list this month.
Column Article Popularity Ranking TOP 10

No.1 Think AI
Think AI is a research institution focused on the AI field, dedicated to providing high-quality insights, data, and strategic advice for industries, enterprises, and individuals.
《"White-haired Goddess of Stocks" calls for A-shares to hit their limit again, who exactly is she?》 Following the surge after the call for green, the "white-haired stock god" Serenity published a list of promising "800V DC" concept stocks, once again triggering a limit up for EasyThings in A-shares. Some market analysts pointed out that Serenity’s account operation characteristics and Chinese expression habits have led to speculation about her having a Chinese background. Additionally, some skeptics believe that she is guiding fans to buy small-cap stocks through the release of in-depth research reports to profit, and this "research report + social media influence + small-cap stocks" model has attracted widespread market attention.
No.2 Biteye

《WeChat AI Card real test guide: Has the era of AI Shopping arrived?》 WeChat Pay officially released the AI exclusive card on June 17, and has connected to Tencent's office intelligent tool Workbuddy. This product is essentially a "small wallet" isolated from the main wallet, which users need to manually recharge, and every purchase must be confirmed on the mobile end by the user, rather than being automatically deducted by AI. Practical tests show that this card is mainly suitable for purchasing paid content, calling paid tools, or subscribing to services in standardized scenarios. When it comes to complex tasks such as ordering takeout, due to the incomplete execution chain of the Agent, errors in product matching and other issues are likely to occur.
No.3 168X, qinbafrank

A look into the new trends of funds in software stocks, optical interconnects, SpaceX, and Bitcoin》 At the beginning of June, the Taipei COMPUTEX conference sparked a boom in AI hardware, with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang optimistic about Marvell's market cap breaking a trillion, driving a surge in the optical interconnect sector. Meanwhile, the macro environment faces liquidity restructuring pressure due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and IPOs of giants like SpaceX and Anthropic. Cross-border investor qinbafrank stated in an interview with 168X that AI is not a bubble; it is currently at a turning point of accelerated commercialization and monetization, with penetration rate bonuses still supporting demand for computing power, optical interconnects, and other infrastructure.

《From MSTR to STRC+: Where is the end of Strategy’s universe?》Strategy is attempting to transform its Bitcoin balance sheet into a complex credit system. The company is disassembling its BTC exposure into different financial products with varying risk and return preferences through the issuance of common stock MSTR, perpetual preferred stock STRC, and other structured credit tools. Currently, Strategy's STRC and other preferred stock products offer about 11%-14% annualized returns, attracting traditional fixed-income investors. Additionally, DeFi protocols like Saturn and Apyx are trying to package the cash flows from these preferred stocks into on-chain stablecoin yields.

《Second only to GPUs and storage: MLCC is becoming the next trillion-dollar opportunity for AI computing power》 The Huaqiangbei market channel shows that electronic components MLCC are experiencing a comprehensive price increase, ranging from 10% to 70%, effective from July 1. The demand for MLCC in AI servers is growing exponentially, with the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform using up to 3.5 million pieces per unit. Due to extremely high technical and production capacity barriers, the industry's annual supply growth is only about 10%, far below the demand growth rate of 34%, and the supply-demand gap is expected to persist until 2030. The three industry giants Murata, SEMCO, and Taiyo Yuden will benefit significantly.

No.7 Metatrend

《Silicon Valley "Venture Capital Guru" Steve Hoffman: Web3 + AI could be a trap》 Anthropic completed a $65 billion H-round financing, surpassing OpenAI to become the world's highest private AI company. Hoffman pointed out in an interview that China has a clear advantage in the application of AI and robotics, while Silicon Valley dominates foundational research of large models. The true turning point for autonomous Agents is expected to arrive within 2-4 years, which will trigger workforce replacement. AI-driven knowledge services are expected to break through the bottleneck of scaling.

The three major protocols, Morpho, Aave V4, and Euler V2, have completed the transformation through different paths: Morpho completely decouples risk regulation and execution, Aave V4 adopts a central radiation approach balancing efficiency and safety, and Euler V2 achieves asset-level isolation of complex RWAs through interconnected vaults.
No.9 Think AI

《Deepseek raises 5 billion RMB, with boss Liang Wenfeng contributing 2 billion》 After insisting on "no financing, no IPO, no commercialization" for a year, DeepSeek ultimately chose to complete massive financing (total valuation over 350 billion) due to the surge in computing power costs (expensive H100 graphics cards), loss of core talents (no equity incentives), and other real-world pressures.
No.10 Zero Time Technology

《Virtual currency money laundering "invisibility cloak" fails! AI mirror reveals dark industry on-chain》 As virtual currency becomes the "invisibility cloak" for grey and black industries, AI governance has become an inevitable topic in the industry. Currently, on-chain black industries mainly illegal profit through four models: online gambling, money laundering score running, staking mining (absconding with funds), and air coin financial wallets (pyramid scheme funding).
