On the occasion of Bitcoin Pizza Day in 2026, Bitget launched a global branding campaign titled "Flip the Slice," centered around a music short film called "The Infinite Flip." The short film humorously transforms the voices of skeptics into a part of community culture expression, continuing the spirit and narrative tension of Bitcoin Pizza Day.The film portrays the development of the crypto industry through various cartoon characters. Each time the outside world shouts "crypto is dead," the characters reappear with a "resurrection dance," symbolizing the crypto industry's rebirth from doubt and lows. Through this dark humor and the repeatedly "flipping" narrative style, the short film aims to convey the spirit of "crypto is not dead, it flips and is reborn" to the crypto community.Bitget's Chief Marketing Officer Ignacio Aguirre Franco stated that Bitcoin has been declared "dead" hundreds of times, but in this short film, the critics' arguments become plot points rather than conclusions. By flipping these narratives with humor and fun, each "death" serves as a prologue to the resurgence of the crypto world.As part of the overall Pizza Festival activities, Bitget's "Pizza Box Resume Project" will print selected Web3 youth resumes on pizza boxes and deliver them to industry partners in various regions, transforming classic crypto culture memes into career pathways for young people. This initiative also continues the core direction of Blockchain4Youth, which is to help young people establish a connection path from knowledge acquisition and skill demonstration to integration into the industry ecosystem.

According to Jinshi reports, due to the lack of progress in the US-Iran peace talks, oil prices have risen, triggering market concerns about prolonged disruptions and intensified inflation, leading to a 1% drop in gold futures prices. Soojin Kim, an analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, stated that the market increasingly expects interest rates to rise to address inflation risks associated with high energy prices, which is unfavorable for gold. Meanwhile, strong US labor market data continues to support market expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain high interest rates for a longer period.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve's Goolsbee stated that although the labor market is stable, it is not ideal. Currently, the growth of non-farm payrolls is not a good indicator of the economy's idle capacity.

According to Benchmark Studio, after the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued inquiries to multiple companies regarding overseas shareholding structures, Chinese tech startups such as Moonshot AI and DeepRoute.ai are evaluating the feasibility of relocating their company registration from overseas back to China. They are currently discussing related plans with lawyers and have not yet made a final decision. Shanghai AI model developer StepFun has taken the lead in initiating the process of dismantling its overseas shareholding structure to expedite the regulatory approval process for its Hong Kong IPO.The direct trigger for this tightening of regulations was Meta's acquisition of the AI agency Manus, founded by Chinese individuals, for $2 billion—relevant authorities have ordered the cancellation of this acquisition, leading to a systematic review by regulators of the "domestic operation, overseas registration" company model.Dismantling the red-chip structure is complex, typically taking six months to a year, involving multiple steps such as repurchasing offshore equity, establishing joint ventures, and investors re-entering shares. Additionally, the lock-up period for joint ventures listed in Hong Kong lasts up to 12 months, which is twice as long as that for ordinary red-chip stocks. Analysts point out that if the red-chip structure faces comprehensive restrictions, it will significantly weaken the ability of Chinese startups to obtain dollar financing from overseas.

According to The Block, Bitcoin mining company IREN Limited has agreed to acquire cloud infrastructure software company Mirantis for approximately $625 million in an all-stock transaction to enhance its AI cloud business layout.This acquisition will bring critical software and "orchestration" capabilities to IREN, helping it better monetize its expanding GPU and data center resources. Mirantis focuses on Kubernetes-based cloud infrastructure tools that enable automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.Analysts point out that the transaction values Mirantis at about 4 to 5 times its revenue, aimed at helping IREN catch up with AI cloud competitors like CoreWeave and build a complete "full-stack new cloud" capability.This merger is also an important step for IREN in its transformation from a Bitcoin mining company to an AI infrastructure platform. Previously, the company had raised approximately $3.6 billion through equity and convertible bond financing to expand its GPU and data center capacity, with total construction investments expected to exceed $9 billion. After the transaction is completed, Mirantis is expected to operate as an independent subsidiary.
