ElizaOS founder Shaw accused daos.fun founder baoskee of insider trading during the renaming and migration process of the ai16z project, claiming that he profited approximately $6.6 million by selling ai16z. Shaw stated that in June 2025, the project team promised to launch Snapshot voting so that the community could decide whether to rename the project, after a16z had requested a name change to avoid trademark disputes.Shaw claimed that, despite the voting mechanism not being launched as promised, baoskee sold all ai16z in the daos.fun execution wallet after being aware of the pressure to rename and the subsequent migration arrangements, and continued to sell before the project migrated to elizaOS, causing the token price to drop. Shaw believes that baoskee had information that other holders did not possess at that time. In response, baoskee denied the allegations, stating that the Snapshot voting had actually been launched, and that daos.fun had also self-funded to increase and lock over $1 million in ai16z liquidity.

Currently, there are significant discrepancies between the two parties' statements, and Shaw indicated that he would attach relevant Solscan on-chain records at the end of the article.

IREN Co-Founder and Co-CEO Daniel Roberts stated that each new AI data center will further increase rather than decrease AI demand.Roberts believes that simply comparing the current AI infrastructure cycle to past technology booms is misleading. More powerful AI requires more computing power, and lower-cost AI will drive more users and applications to use AI.He pointed out that each leap in AI capabilities creates a large number of new application scenarios that did not exist before, so demand can grow rapidly at the pace of software development, but the supply of computing power cannot expand at the same speed.The construction of computing power infrastructure is limited by real-world conditions such as power access, transmission lines, concrete, steel, and construction personnel, making it difficult to quickly increase the speed of supply expansion.Roberts stated that in past technology boom cycles, technological advancements often helped the supply side catch up with demand, but the current AI technology itself is driving demand to grow exponentially, while the speed of infrastructure construction in the real world struggles to keep up.

According to the Financial Times, citing two informed sources, regulators are preparing to lift the exit restrictions on Manus founder and CEO Xiao Hong and others. Xiao Hong has informed employees that he plans to return to Singapore soon.Xiao Hong and Manus co-founder and chief scientist Ji Yichao were asked to stay in the country in March this year. At that time, regulators were investigating whether Meta's acquisition of Manus violated relevant regulations. In April, regulators requested Meta to withdraw the approximately $2 billion acquisition.Manus has officially confirmed this week that it will resume independent operations. The split plan is also taking shape. Original shareholders such as Tencent, ZhenFund, and HSG will participate in the buyback, and Tencent will also acquire most of Benchmark's shares, becoming the largest single shareholder of Manus, but its stake will not exceed 50%. Manus will not be merged into Tencent and will continue to operate independently in Singapore.The final plan still requires approval from regulatory authorities. From the current plan, regulators are requesting the dismantling of Meta's acquisition relationship with Manus, but they have not asked Manus to relocate its business.
