Investors Buy Bitcoin (BTC) ETPs Despite Market Volatility
Cryptocurrency investment products continue to attract investor capital despite ongoing market volatility and a notable drop in the price of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded $1.24 billion of inflows for the trading week ended June 20. Crypto ETPs continue to break inflow records, setting a new historic high at $15.1 billion through the first six months of a year, according to market data. Total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs now stands at $176.3 billion. Despite its price dropping below $100,000 in recent days after the U.S. attacked Iranian nuclear sites, Bitcoin continues to lead ETP inflows. Bitcoin exchange-traded products saw weekly inflows totaling $1.1 billion. Buying on Weakness Analysts say investors appear eager to buy more Bitcoin on any signs of weakness in the price of the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. At the same time, Ethereum ETPs recorded their ninth consecutive week of inflows, netting $124 million over the past week. Ethereum exchange-traded products are now on their longest run of inflows since mid-2021. BlackRock (BLK), the largest Bitcoin asset manager globally, continues to see major gains, accumulating more than 3% of the total Bitcoin supply through June 20. Other Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuers, such as ProShares and Bitwise, saw inflows of $77 million and $33 million, respectively in the last week. Bitcoin is currently trading at $101,521. Is BTC a Buy? Most Wall Street firms don't offer ratings or price targets on cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, so we'll look instead at its three-month performance. As one can see in the chart below, the price of BTC has risen 15.61% in the last 12 weeks.

U.S. judge rules in Meta's favour in authors' copyright lawsuit over AI training
A federal judge in San Francisco ruled on Wednesday for Meta Platforms META-Q against a group of authors who had argued that its use of their books without permission to train its artificial intelligence system infringed their copyrights. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said in his decision the authors had not presented enough evidence that Meta's AI would dilute the market for their work to show that the company's conduct was illegal under U.S. copyright law. Chhabria also said, however, that using copyrighted work without permission to train AI would be unlawful in 'many circumstances,' splitting with another San Francisco judge who found on Monday in a separate lawsuit that Anthropic's AI training made 'fair use' of copyrighted materials. 'This ruling does not stand for the proposition that Meta's use of copyrighted materials to train its language models is lawful,' Chhabria said. 'It stands only for the proposition that these plaintiffs made the wrong arguments and failed to develop a record in support of the right one.' A spokesperson for the authors' law firm Boies Schiller Flexner said that it disagreed with the judge's decision to rule for Meta despite the 'undisputed record' of the company's 'historically unprecedented pirating of copyrighted works.' A Meta spokesperson said the company appreciated the decision and called fair use a 'vital legal framework' for building 'transformative' AI technology. Canada, other countries struggling to come up with new rules for AI and copyright Disney, Universal sue AI image-generator Midjourney for copyright infringement The authors sued Meta in 2023, arguing the company misused pirated versions of their books to train its AI system Llama without permission or compensation. The lawsuit is one of several copyright cases brought by writers, news outlets and other copyright owners against companies including OpenAI, Microsoft MSFT-Q and Anthropic over their AI training. The legal doctrine of fair use allows the use of copyrighted works without the copyright owner's permission in some circumstances. It is a key defense for the tech companies. Chhabria's decision is the second in the U.S. to address fair use in the context of generative AI, following U.S. District Judge William Alsup's ruling on the same issue in the Anthropic case. AI companies argue their systems make fair use of copyrighted material by studying it to learn to create new, transformative content, and that being forced to pay copyright holders for their work could hamstring the burgeoning AI industry. Copyright owners say AI companies unlawfully copy their work to generate competing content that threatens their livelihoods. Chhabria expressed sympathy for that argument during a hearing in May, which he reiterated on Wednesday. The judge said generative AI had the potential to flood the market with endless images, songs, articles and books using a tiny fraction of the time and creativity that would otherwise be required to create them. 'So by training generative AI models with copyrighted works, companies are creating something that often will dramatically undermine the market for those works, and thus dramatically undermine the incentive for human beings to create things the old-fashioned way,' Chhabria said.
