Matrixport's analysis states that after a round of capitulation-style selling, Bitcoin is attempting to stage a counter-trend rebound. This round of decline has flushed out weak positions and triggered passive selling pressure and chain liquidations in the derivatives market. In the short term, there is still room for a technical rebound; however, whether the rebound can go further depends on whether there is new capital to take over, rather than relying solely on short covering and systematic hedging funds to maintain it.As previously mentioned, Bitcoin is still in a larger bear market reset phase. During this phase, rapid surges are not uncommon, but they often struggle to sustain. On-chain data continues to confirm that the current environment remains relatively weak: demand momentum is weakening, and structural accumulation is limited. Meanwhile, hedging activities in the options market are heating up, further amplifying volatility. If spot demand remains weak, prices are more likely to experience gap-down movements, and the impact of derivatives on Bitcoin prices will also increase.

According to SlowMist's monitoring, the official plugin center ClawHub of the open-source AI Agent project OpenClaw is gradually becoming a new target for attackers to implement supply chain poisoning.Due to the platform's lack of a comprehensive and strict review mechanism, a large number of malicious skills have already infiltrated, being used to spread malicious code or deliver harmful content, posing potential security risks to developers and users. According to a report by Koi Security, 341 malicious skills were identified in a scan of 2,857 skills, reflecting a typical "plugin/extension market supply chain poisoning" pattern.SlowMist advises not to treat the "installation steps" in SKILL.md as a trusted source; any command that requires copying and pasting should be audited first; be wary of prompts that "require entering the system password/granting accessibility/system settings," as these are often points of risk escalation; prioritize obtaining dependencies and tools from official channels to avoid executing installation scripts from unknown sources.

According to Lookonchain monitoring, the address starting with 0xcA0, labeled as "BTC OG insider whale" (agent Garrett Jin), used the same Binance deposit address as Trend Research under Yi Li Hua.On-chain data shows that the Trend Research address transferred 7,989,000 USDT to the address starting with 0xcdF one day ago, which was then moved to the Binance hot wallet address starting with 0x28C.The "BTC OG insider whale" transferred 10,000 ETH to the address starting with 0xcdF two hours ago, which was subsequently moved to the Binance hot wallet address starting with 0x28C.Lookonchain did not provide further interpretation. However, Binance deposit addresses are typically user-specific (especially for large and frequently used hot deposit addresses), so it cannot completely rule out "coincidence" or "address reuse" (for example, through a common funding source/OTC channel). Nonetheless, under normal circumstances, the probability of two independent large holders/institutions using exactly the same deposit address is extremely low.

a16z partner and a16z crypto leader Chris Dixon published an article on social media titled "The Long Game of Cryptocurrency," stating: There is a popular saying that the non-financial use cases of cryptocurrency are dead. Some also claim that the "read-write-own" model has failed. These conclusions misunderstand the core concepts and misjudge the stage of development we are in.We are currently in the financial era of blockchain. But the core idea has never been that all crypto applications will emerge simultaneously, nor that finance will not lead the way. The core thought has always been that blockchain introduces a new primitive—capable of coordinating human and capital at internet scale, embedding ownership directly into the system. Finance is the domain where this primitive can most naturally prove its value, which is why we often cite finance as the primary example of productive use cases for tokens.Finance is not separate from a larger vision; it is part of it. It serves as the foundation and testing ground for all other applications. At a16z and a16z crypto, we are looking long-term: our fund structure is designed for a cycle of over 10 years because building new industries takes time—operational sequence is crucial. Infrastructure and distribution networks often emerge before new categories of applications.The internet did not begin with social media, streaming, or online communities; it began with packet switching, TCP/IP, and basic connectivity. Only after hundreds of millions of people went online did entirely new cultural and economic categories emerge. Cryptocurrency is likely to be similar. A reasonable speculation is that we need to onboard hundreds of millions of people through financial applications like payments, stablecoins, savings, and DeFi before we can see meaningful adoption in media, gaming, AI, or other potentially more distant fields.Many applications rely on ready wallets, identities, liquidity, and trust mechanisms. This is why a16z has spent over five years working to establish a clear regulatory framework for tokens. Great endeavors take time. The breakthroughs we see today in the AI field are the result of decades of hard work by outstanding talents. Building a new technological system is a marathon, and this is what a marathon looks like in practice: a long period of groundwork followed by a sharp turning point. It is those chaotic years that make the clarity of the future possible.
