DeFi researcher Ignas posted on the X platform, stating that in the AI era, the way to find Meme coins seems to have fundamentally changed little. Taking Grok as an example, when asked to recommend worthwhile Meme coins, it typically only provides token codes based on historical data such as views, trading volume, and the number of posts on the X platform.Real Meme coin trading still requires human judgment on whether a project has the potential to "break out," including market sentiment, community atmosphere, narrative appeal, and whether KOLs suddenly start promoting it. Compared to asking AI once a day what to buy, being continuously online 24/7 to capture changes in market sentiment still has greater advantages.However, Ignas pointed out that AI is fundamentally changing liquidity provision (LP) strategies. AI agents can automatically filter liquidity pools and analyze factors such as trading volume, transaction fees, fee trends, liquidity depth, and suitable price ranges. Currently, related strategies are still being refined, but a methodology has already been formed that can be continuously optimized and generate compounding effects. If trading Meme coins and being "online 24/7" does not suit you, then leveraging AI to learn and execute LP strategies might be a more easily mastered skill.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin's monitoring, a "news trader" paid a bribe of 40.8 BNB (31,000 USD) in node bribes and Gas fees to front-run the purchase of Hakimi at the first second of the announcement of the Hakimi contract going live on Binance, subsequently selling for a profit of 378,000 USD.Analysis shows that the announcement of the Hakimi contract going live on Binance was made at 13:55:12. Within the first second, he paid a bribe of 35.3 BNB (26,800 USD) to the node BNB48 Club and used a smuggled RPC channel to front-run and buy 9.89 million Hakimi with 264.7 BNB (200,000 USD) at a price of 0.02 USD. He also paid a high Gas fee of 5.5 BNB (4,200 USD). Of course, the high bribe and Gas fees allowed him to buy at the very front, and then other traders bought after him, pushing up the price.

According to Be In Crypto, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng recently stated that YZi Labs' investments over the past few months will become the highest return layout, as they invested in cryptocurrency prices close to the lows of the bear market.YZi Labs has disclosed seven investments in 2026: in January, they invested in the on-chain trading terminal Genius and the digital asset custodian BitGo; in March, they led a $52 million investment in RoboForce and invested $1 million in the venture project Atlas Scout; in April, they made an additional investment in the prediction market Predict.fun; in May, they led an $8 million seed round investment in the AI agent payment settlement layer AEON; in August, they invested in the cross-chain fixed-rate lending platform TermMax.Zhao Changpeng believes that the influx of funds into AI is eliminating short-term cryptocurrency teams, and the return of AI funds to digital assets has already begun. Bitcoin has rebounded after a 47% drop from its peak, but it is still far below the October high.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, after Elon Musk replied to the SLINK post from Shivon Zilis's hacked account, multiple traders rushed into the token. Just four traders lost about $807,000.

"1011 Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin posted on the X platform, stating that most "traders" missed this round of Bitcoin rebound. When BTC dropped to $76,000, they suggested waiting for $75,000. In reality, Bitcoin successfully held at $76,600 and broke through $79,000, while also exploring higher highs. However, it is currently facing resistance near the $82,500 resistance level.Garrett Jin also pointed out that these traders are now suggesting taking profits at $85,000, jokingly stating, "I wonder if they are really trading."

Bitwise's latest report shows that the correlation between Bitcoin and gold has risen to a six-year high. Bitwise's Head of Research for Europe, André Dragosch, stated that the last time the correlation reached this level was in 2020, during the period of multiple fiscal and monetary stimulus following the COVID-19 pandemic; meanwhile, the correlation between Bitcoin and the stock market has dropped to a one-year low, suggesting a decoupling between hard assets and the stock market.The report believes that the simultaneous rise of Bitcoin and gold is due to the "substantial intervention in the macro picture" by the U.S. government. Last month, the U.S. Treasury announced it would more than double the scale of government debt buybacks, leading to a weakening of the dollar, and investors flocked back to gold and Bitcoin; in the same week, U.S. public debt surpassed $40 trillion for the first time, further undermining market confidence in the dollar. Bitwise stated that investors are no longer entangled in whether to hedge against currency depreciation with gold or Bitcoin, but are holding both simultaneously, and pointed out that "Bitcoin has been priced as a risk asset for its first fifteen years, and if this correlation trend continues, the next fifteen years could be very different."Driven by this, Bitcoin rose again this week, increasing nearly 6% within 24 hours, with the price briefly approaching $81,438.

The Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand (SEC) has proposed allowing intermediaries to provide certain digital asset derivatives traded overseas to retail investors. According to the proposal, eligible products must be similar to crypto derivatives traded domestically in Thailand, including aspects such as underlying assets, duration, leverage, and settlement methods. At the same time, these products must be traded on exchanges that adopt central counterparty clearing and are supervised by regulatory bodies belonging to specific international regulatory or exchange organizations.Crypto derivatives that do not meet the above conditions will only be available to institutional investors. The Thai SEC stated that institutional investors are better equipped to assess and manage complex and high-risk products. Current rules only allow intermediaries to provide relevant investment services to retail and high-net-worth clients when overseas derivatives are similar to domestic trading products, while overseas crypto derivatives, due to their varying structures and risk levels, require targeted regulations.This consultation is the latest initiative by Thailand to incorporate crypto-related products into the regulated capital market. The Thai SEC officially designated cryptocurrencies and digital tokens as permissible derivative underlying assets in a notice issued on March 5 and is discussing potential contract specifications with the Thailand Futures Exchange. The consultation will continue until September 30, and the Thai SEC has not yet announced the proposed implementation date for the revisions.

According to Hong Kong 01, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng reflected on his journey from a rural area in Jiangsu to a net worth of hundreds of billions in an exclusive interview, sharing his "Four No" financial principles: do not buy stocks, do not speculate on real estate, do not trade cryptocurrencies, and do not hold excessive cash. He explained that real estate transactions are time-consuming and the returns are not worth it, and he never trades stocks or engages in short-term cryptocurrency trading, only holding long-term and selling some crypto assets when needed. "Holding fiat currency is the dumbest investment method; cash continues to depreciate."In 2013, Zhao Changpeng sold his house and invested all his money into Bitcoin, which at one point dropped two-thirds in value and remained stagnant for a year and a half. In 2017, he founded Binance, which became the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange in just five months. In 2023, he was sentenced to four months in prison for violating the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, and was pardoned by Trump last year. His current net worth is approximately $114.6 billion. He admitted that success is a matter of luck, but the key lies in consistently making the right decisions and quickly correcting mistakes.

According to South Korean media Daum, an analysis of the five major Korean won exchanges Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, and GOPAX, as well as the public API of CoinGecko, found that after excluding duplicate assets, the five exchanges collectively support approximately 606 types of crypto assets. Among them, 164 types (27.1%) are only available for trading on one exchange, and another 324 types (53.5%) are traded on two or fewer exchanges.Among the assets supported by a single exchange, Coinone has the most, with 55 types; Bithumb has 54 types, GOPAX has 25 types, Upbit has 16 types, and Korbit has 14 types. In terms of liquidity, the median trading volume of these 164 assets in nearly 24 hours is only about 1.37 million won, with 79 types having a trading volume of less than 1 million won, and 38 types even having zero transactions.The analysis suggests that listing on a single exchange does not inherently mean that the asset carries risk. If the relevant assets are actively traded on overseas exchanges or support smooth withdrawals, investors still have other exit channels. However, for assets with low overseas trading volume and restricted deposit and withdrawal networks, once support is terminated, investors may face difficulties in both selling and transferring.
