According to BusinessInsider, billionaire investor and hedge fund founder of Third Point, Dan Loeb, stated in a podcast that current market concerns about the "bubble theory" of artificial intelligence (AI) are greatly exaggerated, and the development stage of the AI industry is completely different from that of the internet bubble period.Loeb pointed out that technology giants, including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, have collectively exceeded $700 billion in capital expenditures this year, which may reach $1 trillion next year, with the vast majority allocated for AI infrastructure development. He stated that to believe these capital expenditures will not yield returns is equivalent to thinking that companies are "burning money for no reason," but currently, these companies have strong profitability and ample cash flow, allowing them to support investments with their own balance sheets.Loeb emphasized that this is different from the situation during the internet bubble when "valuations detached from fundamentals," and does not constitute a traditional valuation bubble. He also mentioned that AI companies like Anthropic are experiencing rapid revenue growth and accelerated product applications, indicating that the industry is still in the early stages of expansion.Reports indicate that Anthropic's latest financing valuation is nearing $965 billion, with annualized revenue jumping from $14 billion to $47 billion, further strengthening market confidence in the commercialization potential of AI.However, there are still some investors in the market, including Michael Burry, who express concerns about the overheated valuations of AI, believing that massive investments may struggle to yield corresponding returns. Loeb, on the other hand, stated, "We haven't even scratched the surface of AI development," and believes that we are still in the early stages of long-term growth.

Hyperliquid's lobbying organization, Hyperliquid Policy Center, issued a statement welcoming the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)'s latest regulatory initiatives, including the approval of the first listed perpetual contract in the U.S., the release of a policy statement on the listing of perpetual derivatives, related interpretive guidance, and a no-action relief letter, as well as staff consultation documents regarding 24/7 trading, clearing, and settlement.The Hyperliquid Policy Center stated that these initiatives represent the first time in a long while that regulators have explicitly acknowledged the legitimacy and importance of perpetual contracts in price discovery and risk management. It pointed out that past regulatory uncertainty has led to related markets and liquidity flowing overseas, weakening the U.S.'s competitiveness in the global derivatives market.The Hyperliquid Policy Center also expressed its eagerness to work closely with the CFTC to promote the establishment of a regulatory framework that applies not only to centralized intermediaries but also to on-chain protocols. Currently, most perpetual contract trading activities actually occur in on-chain markets.

According to The Block, Standard Chartered Bank believes that the recent sharp decline in ETH prices does not reflect the continuous improvement of internal indicators on the Ethereum network, comparing it to Amazon's phase after the tech bubble burst in 2001. The bank maintains its ETH price targets: $4,000 by the end of 2026 and $40,000 by the end of 2030, and expects the ETH/BTC exchange rate to rebound to about 0.08 by the end of this decade.The bank stated that Ethereum dominates the stablecoin and RWA (real-world asset tokenization) sectors, expecting the market value of both stablecoins and non-stablecoin RWAs to increase to about $2 trillion by 2028, which will drive Ethereum's trading volume and TVL to new highs, pushing ETH prices upward.

Several core institutions have chosen the 1155 F Street building in Washington as their office location, including Coinbase, DCG, the Blockchain Association, and Injective on the third floor, as well as the Solana Policy Institute, Hyperliquid Policy Center, and DeFi Education Fund on the tenth floor. In addition, the venture capital firm Paradigm is set to move into the building.

In response to Bloomberg's report on CME and ICE pressuring the CFTC regarding Hyperliquid, the Hyperliquid Policy Center, a lobbying organization led by prominent crypto lawyer Jake Chervinsky and funded by the Hyper Foundation, tweeted that the concerns lack basis.The organization stated that Hyperliquid publishes complete on-chain transaction records in real-time, with transparency far exceeding that of traditional exchanges, which serves as a strong deterrent against insider trading and price manipulation, and is beneficial for regulatory agencies and law enforcement to conduct monitoring and investigations.Additionally, Hyperliquid offers 24/7 uninterrupted trading, effectively eliminating price gaps between the opening and closing of traditional markets. The organization acknowledged that current U.S. laws have not yet made specific provisions for on-chain derivatives markets and will continue to work with Washington policymakers to promote the implementation of relevant regulatory frameworks.Previously, the Hyperliquid Policy Center was established on February 18 of this year in Washington, with former Blockchain Association and Variant Chief Legal Officer Jake Chervinsky serving as CEO, receiving a donation of 1 million HYPE from the Hyper Foundation, focusing on promoting a compliant regulatory path for DeFi in the United States.

In February this year, several Chinese citizens were raided by the police at a rented villa in Country Heights, Kajang, Malaysia. The police claimed to suspect that the Chinese citizens were involved in fraud, and subsequently, the Chinese citizens were forced to transfer about $50,000 (approximately 200,000 ringgit) in USDT. The police later arrested 12 officers involved in the case and removed them from frontline duties, but the investigation still awaits technical reports and digital evidence results, and there has been no breakthrough to date.Lawyer Charles, representing eight Chinese victims, stated that the investigation is progressing too slowly. Since the arrest of the 12 involved police officers, there has been no further information, raising suspicions of internal interference attempting to suppress the case. He warned that if there is internal protection, he will file a complaint with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that, as expected, with the end of the war, there is no reason for both the U.S. and Iran to continue fighting. The market has rebounded as anticipated to above $80,000, and a gradual liquidation strategy will be adopted. According to expectations, $60,000 may not be the bottom of this round, but U.S. stocks and even A-shares are continuously hitting new highs led by AI. Hynix and Samsung have both surpassed a trillion in profits, and in the future, everyone will consume tokens daily, as essential as eating and drinking.In the long term, there is no bubble in AI, but in the short term, it is uncertain whether there will be a black swan event. Buffett is frantically hoarding cash for a reason. If there is indeed an opportunity to bottom out at $50,000, then there will be a fourfold opportunity in the next crypto bull market. As for the abundant opportunities in AI, some cryptocurrency miners have transitioned to AI computing power, cryptocurrency entrepreneurs have become AI founders, and even trading platforms have started AI Trading. Investors should also properly allocate AI equity and stocks.

According to market news, Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini submitted revisions to the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee, requesting the removal of the provision in the digital asset bill that requires trading platforms to list only tokens that are "not readily susceptible to manipulation."The three companies believe that this provision will increase the difficulty of listing small-cap, low-liquidity tokens and could be used by future CFTC chairs as a tool for tightening regulation. The current draft aims to grant the CFTC broader powers over the spot markets for "digital commodities" such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Senate Agriculture Committee has already passed the relevant sections along party lines, and further significant modifications will be made to gain support from the Democrats.

According to CoinDesk, Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated that coastal Caribbean cities in the country, such as Barranquilla, Santa Marta, and Riohacha, could utilize surplus renewable energy to become Bitcoin mining hubs.Gustavo Petro proposed involving the largest local indigenous community, the Wayúu, in project ownership and believes this move will significantly boost development in the Caribbean region. Currently, about 75% of Colombia's electricity comes from renewable resources, and the plan aims to emulate Paraguay's model of attracting miners by using cheap clean energy. As U.S. miners shift towards AI computing, Colombia hopes to fill the global computing power gap by providing idle electricity.
