Bittensor co-founder Const (@const_reborn) responded on Twitter to recent allegations regarding Covenant AI. Const stated that he has no authority to pause emissions, and that the previous sale of a portion of alpha positions in three subnetworks was because these subnetworks were not operational and were in a high ratio of code destruction state. The impact of this transaction on emissions is consistent with the buying and selling behavior of ordinary TAO holders, and he does not enjoy any special privileges.Regarding management authority, Const clarified that it was Samuel himself who abandoned his Discord channel, and he did not remove his administrator role; he only temporarily restricted his ability to delete posts that honestly criticize and then restored it. Additionally, he emphasized that the scale of the token sell-off was less than 1% of his total investment in the team, and stated that exercising the rights to buy and sell tokens under the dTao system is fundamental to supporting the operation of the system.According to previous reports from ChainCatcher, the main subnetwork developer on Bittensor, Covenant AI, announced its withdrawal from Bittensor. Covenant AI founder Sam Dare stated that the reason Bittensor attracts builders, miners, validators, and investors into this ecosystem is because of its promise not to be controlled by any single entity. But this promise is a lie.

Binance co-CEO He Yi responded on social media to comments from OKX CEO and Wintermute founder regarding the crypto flash crash on October 11: "The whales trading on Binance are more aware of what happened when the tide recedes and have more authority on the facts. PS: I found out this morning that it wasn't a sunny day, it must be because of Binance."Previously, OKX CEO Star stated: "The crypto flash crash on October 11 was caused by Binance's irresponsible USDe financial activities." Wintermute founder remarked: "The crypto flash crash on October 11 was clearly not a 'software failure'; it is unreasonable to place all the blame on one exchange."

According to market news, analysts point out that Tether's newly launched stablecoin USAT, focused on the U.S. market, could become the first true competitor to Circle's USDC in the country.Analysts believe that by partnering with the federally chartered Anchorage Digital Bank and Cantor Fitzgerald, USAT aims to attract institutional users and directly enter the regulated financial institution market long dominated by Circle. Although Circle's USDC (with a market cap of $72 billion) grew at twice the rate of USDT last year, USAT poses a threat due to its institutional-grade design, partnerships with traditional finance, and the potential to access Tether's global network through exchanges with USDT.Analysts state that USDC previously lacked competitors in the U.S. with comparable scale, distribution capabilities, or compliance qualifications, and the emergence of USAT could change this situation. However, some analysts also point out that this represents a "manageable risk" for Circle, and USAT may pose an encroachment risk to Tether's own dominant product, USDT.
