Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies dropped after Beijing-based Moonshot AI released Kimi K3, a free, open-weight AI coding model that outperformed Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's GPT on a key coding benchmark. This challenges the belief that advanced AI remains scarce, expensive, and U.S.-controlled, causing a selloff in AI and semiconductor stocks. Bitcoin now moves closely with AI infrastructure sentiment, as miners pivot to AI data center roles. The full Kimi K3 model will be publicly available on July 27, potentially disrupting AI capital demand and impacting crypto valuations tied to AI growth.
