Robinhood's venture fund, Robinhood Ventures Fund I, debuted on the NYSE this week, closing its first day at $21, down 16%. The fund aims to open up investment opportunities in popular private companies to retail investors, with a target of raising $1 billion, but has currently raised only $658.4 million (which could reach $705.7 million if underwriters exercise full subscription).The fund's holdings include companies like Databricks, Stripe (pending transaction completion), Mercor, Oura, Ramp, Airwallex, and Revolut, but it lacks exposure to widely anticipated high-valuation upcoming public companies (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX), which is considered a major reason for the lack of retail interest. Robinhood stated that it plans to expand the fund in the future to include 15-20 high-quality late-stage growth companies and is actively seeking to join the equity tables of popular startups like OpenAI.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin rose 5.21% on Wednesday to around $71,900, breaking through the upper trend line previously seen as a "bearish flag," accompanied by increased trading volume that weakened the bearish structure. Analysts believe that $80,000 may become the next target for this rebound.Currently, the CME gap remains unfilled at $79,660--$81,210, which has persisted since early February. Data shows that out of 10 gaps since August 2025, 9 have been filled, leading traders to typically view this range as a high-priority target. If there is no significant selling pressure near $74,000 in the short term, the probability of Bitcoin making a push towards $80,000 is increasing. Currently, the probability of Bitcoin breaking $80,000 in March on the prediction market Polymarket has risen to 40%.

Curve Finance posted on platform X that it is investigating an attack on the sDOLA LlamaLend market. Preliminary investigations indicate that the attack exploited a combination vulnerability between the price oracle characteristics used by sDOLA and the amount of sDOLA existing outside of collateral in the market. The attacker profited relatively little, but this incident highlights the importance of handling treasury collateral in a specific manner within LlamaLend.Borrowers using sDOLA as collateral were liquidated, while lenders were unaffected, and sDOLA holders received some returns. The team is further investigating whether other similar existing markets may be impacted and ensuring that LlamaLend V2 remains secure even when facing "donation attack" vulnerabilities in treasury collateral across all market scales.In previous news, YAM Finance responded to the attack on Inverse: suspicious transactions originated from LlamaLend, rather than a contract vulnerability.

Anthropic is accused of launching a prompt tool for "exporting ChatGPT memory data," helping users transfer historical memory information to its model Claude, which has drawn industry attention.According to public content, the tool allows users to export their memory data from OpenAI's ChatGPT by copying and pasting specific prompts, and then import it into Claude. Related discussions suggest that this move is seen as directly weakening the user stickiness and switching costs that ChatGPT relies on through its "memory function."Market views consider the memory mechanism as an important moat for large model products— the longer users engage, the deeper the model understands their preferences, context, and historical conversations, thereby increasing the migration costs. If third-party tools can facilitate easy data migration, it may change the current user lock-in logic of AI products.Meanwhile, reports also mentioned that Anthropic was previously restricted from use by relevant systems of the U.S. Department of Defense, but the company's popularity and attention have quickly surged, topping some application rankings.Currently, the specific compliance of the aforementioned tool and the platform's response have not been clarified. The industry generally believes that competition among large models has extended from performance comparisons to ecological and data sovereignty aspects, with user data portability potentially becoming a key variable in the next stage.
