According to Cointelegraph, Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten stated in an interview that although institutional investors' participation in the cryptocurrency space is increasing, it is very important to pay attention to retail sentiment towards Bitcoin, as Bitcoin holdings are far from being concentrated. "Bitcoin is not monopolized like BlackRock or Fidelity; in fact, it is primarily purchased by numerous retail accounts."

ChainCatcher reported live that Justin Sun, the founder of TRON, shared a keynote speech titled "From TRON to B.AI: Infrastructure as the Game-Changer in the AI Era" at this year's 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival.He introduced that TRON currently supports about 86.4 billion USDT, with other stablecoins bringing the total close to 90 billion dollars, and the global account number has reached 376 million, making it one of the largest stablecoin settlement networks in the world. He emphasized that the most important aspects of financial services are stability and security, rather than being cheap.He pointed out that the existing payment systems are not compatible with AI, as bank accounts require human identity for opening, and each payment needs manual authorization, which cannot support high-frequency decision-making by AI. B.AI is building the underlying financial infrastructure for AI agents, allowing each AI to operate without becoming human, managing keys and on-chain wallets through cryptography to complete payments, and can anonymously call the world's most

Binance Co-CEO He Yi, while answering the question "What should ordinary people do in the Web3 industry" at the BNB Chain event in Hong Kong, stated that in the early stages of any industry, there will always be a group of people who benefit from the dividends, and the cryptocurrency space is no exception. However, even those old OGs in the crypto world who once made a lot of money will be quickly abandoned if their mindset does not keep up with the development of the times.She bluntly stated that how much money a person makes essentially reflects the monetization of their understanding. For ordinary people, there may indeed be a few significant opportunities in life, such as buying and holding BTC or BNB early on, or seizing stocks like Nvidia in the AI era. However, simply acquiring assets does not equate to making money; the key is to truly understand the industry structure and the logic behind it, rather than just succumbing to FOMO.

Yili Hua posted on platform X stating that it is important to preserve capital during a bear market. Incidents of theft on the blockchain are frequent, and in pursuit of a few percentage points of profit, the result can be the loss of the entire principal, just like many investment mistakes made in the past. There is always risk in investing, even if the money is held in an exchange or in financial management and mining.Our number one principle now is to always have profit-taking and stop-loss strategies. You must always consider how to respond in the worst-case scenario. Otherwise, the most regrettable situation is when a bull market arrives, and the principal is gone. Investing should be optimistic, but risk control must be rigorous.

CZ recalls in his new book that around 2015, under the persuasion of friends, he gradually quit high-frequency social activities such as poker and golf, and completely withdrew from the related social circles. Subsequently, he gradually formed a work style centered on "high efficiency," which included shortening meeting durations, reducing ineffective communication, and focusing on quickly executing projects. This transformation during this phase became an important turning point in CZ's personal and career development, and it has long influenced his subsequent management and operational style.CZ repeatedly mentions in his new book that "moderately above-average success is the most dangerous," because after achieving some small successes, one can easily become complacent. On the surface, it may seem like he is doing better than many around him, but only he knows: he hasn't really given his all.

At the Future Investment Initiative summit held in Miami, Trump stated that Bitcoin has significant influence and that the United States should maintain a leading position in this field. He pointed out that an increasing number of users wish to use virtual assets, especially Bitcoin, for payments, and that the United States needs to be at the forefront of related development trends.

According to Jin Shi reports, Federal Reserve's Paulson stated that it is extremely important to keep long-term inflation expectations stable.

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has once again fallen below $70,000, with multiple on-chain and technical indicators showing that the current bear market is entering its later stages.In terms of on-chain data, Bitcoin's Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) has dropped below 0.25, placing it in the "hope/fear zone." CryptoQuant analyst The Enigma Trader pointed out that this means about 40% of the circulating supply of Bitcoin is in a state of loss, compounded by the Fear and Greed Index falling to 15, indicating "extreme fear," which "reflects pain and uncertainty." He added that if NUPL rises above 0.25, it will mark the entry into the optimistic zone, a transition that historically often coincides with an increase in price momentum.Glassnode stated that the 7-day moving average of relative unrealized losses has stabilized at 15%, noting that "historically, resolving this level of embedded losses requires time, further price declines, or a sustained influx of fresh capital within a compressed timeframe." Additionally, Bitcoin's entity-adjusted realized profit has fallen from a peak of $3 billion per day in July 2025 to now less than $100 million, a decline of over 96%. Glassnode described this as "further evidence of demand exhaustion" and a "textbook characteristic of the transition to the later stages of a bear market."In terms of key price levels, Bitcoin has recently been in a range-bound consolidation, with support at $64,000 and resistance at $72,000. Glassnode pointed out that Bitcoin is struggling to hold the 1-week to 1-month cost basis of $70,200, but the accumulation of buy orders at this level is not robust enough, making "the probability of breaking below this level non-negligible" until more solid buying support is established. The main support below is referenced at Bitcoin's realized price of about $54,000; the upper resistance is at the 1 to 3-month cost basis of $82,200, as well as a dense area of short-term positions above $84,000.Technical analyst CryptoPatel stated that Bitcoin's recent rise to $76,000 is merely a lower high, and the higher time frame structure "points to lower," with below $50,000 being the next truly noteworthy area to watch.

Wintermute founder and CEO Evgeny Gaevoy stated, "The Ethereum Foundation released a mission statement, and what I see more is criticism rather than celebration, which is reasonable. After all, most of us in the crypto industry have transitioned into the existing world system.More seriously, the Ethereum Foundation is currently the only player with both resources and network effects that can not only maintain the dream of cypherpunks but also truly realize it. In the short term, will this reflect in the price of Ethereum? Definitely not. Will it in the long term? Only if it succeeds. Should we care about the price?Personally, I believe that the goal is more important. I absolutely think that at least someone should try to achieve this goal on a macro level, rather than just pursuing financial applications. The rest can choose to do what they do or decide whether to hold ETH. To be honest, holding it long-term is a very long bet, but compared to other worse "faiths," it's still acceptable, so I will continue to hold my ETH for the culture and the memes."

According to Jinshi reports, U.S. President Trump stated that the United States is the largest oil producer in the world, far ahead, so when oil prices rise, we make a lot of money. But for me as president, it is more important to prevent an evil empire—Iran—from acquiring nuclear weapons, to stop Iran from destroying the Middle East, and even the whole world. I will never let this happen!

According to market news, as the conflict between the U.S. and Iran continues to escalate, and the market re-prices the geopolitical risks in the Middle East along with the delayed expectations for short-term interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, Bitcoin's performance remains strong. Analysts believe that after several weeks of consolidation, institutional funds are repositioning, providing significant support for Bitcoin's rebound, with spot ETF funds flowing back in, underpinning the price recovery.Additionally, on-chain and derivatives data also indicate a rebound in risk appetite, with Bitcoin perpetual contract open interest recording the largest single-day increase since July 2025, and leverage significantly expanding. However, there may be a time lag between ETF share trading and actual Bitcoin spot purchases, and the settlement and hedging mechanisms of institutional products may weaken the immediate transmission effect of short-term prices.

OpenAI founder Sam Altman released a content summary after the latest AMA. In response to what would happen if the U.S. government attempted to nationalize OpenAI or other AI projects, Sam Altman stated that he could not predict the outcome. While it may be more appropriate for the government to lead the development of AGI in the long term, nationalization does not seem highly likely given the current trajectory of development.However, he emphasized that establishing a close collaborative relationship between the government and AI companies is "extremely important." People often take the "assurances" regarding safety for granted, but they tend to underestimate the significant investment and effort required behind them. He believes this is generally a good thing, but more respect and understanding are still needed.
