The parent company Mummolin has repurchased all of his shares. Both parties stated that this separation was mutually agreed upon, stemming from differences regarding the future direction of Bitcoin mining and recent developments in agreements.Dashjr is a co-founder of Ocean and will establish a new mining project called Convoy after his departure. Ocean stated that it will continue to operate its transparent, non-custodial mining pool, directly paying mining rewards to participating miners.This departure occurred after he took a few weeks off due to the failure of the BIP-110 proposal.

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.

"Whale" Sets 10 Major GoalsJason Leo posted a review of recent trading experiences this morning, stating that he is rethinking discipline and risk control in trading.Jason mentioned that during the last cycle, he achieved a profit of about 100 million dollars, but due to a long-term adherence to trend judgment, he failed to stop losses in time after the market reversed, resulting in a significant profit drawdown. This experience led him to summarize two core principles: "discipline" and "risk." He stated that at the beginning of this market cycle, he maintained a trend trading mindset, believing that the target price of Bitcoin would reach 74,000 dollars and that the fluctuations during this period were just part of the upward process. However, as the price gradually approached the target, the risk awareness from past losses began to affect his judgment, leading him to choose to exit early.Jason stated that although Bitcoin eventually reached 74,000 dollars, he was unable to hold on. He believes that the mistake in the last cycle was overconfidence in the trend, while this cycle was marked by the fear of repeating past mistakes, causing him to abandon the trend too early. He concluded that the biggest challenge in trading is not to conquer the market, but to break free from the inherent perceptions formed by past experiences. "If experience cannot change with the environment, it is essentially prejudice; if discipline loses judgment, it is essentially mechanical."

The head of Galaxy Research posted on platform X stating that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has proposed the Regulation Crypto Assets, abbreviated as Reg Crypto. This proposal aims to establish a legal pathway for the issuance of certain tokens to the U.S. public and to set up a mechanism for terminating investment contracts. The scope is limited to crypto assets that are not themselves securities but have been issued or sold as part of an investment contract; tokenized stocks, bonds, and arrangements that bundle tokens with equity or other securities are not included in the framework.The proposal sets four stages: financing, disclosure, construction, and exit. A one-time startup exemption allows issuers to raise up to $5 million over a maximum of four years; a higher exemption limit set by Regulation A allows for raising $20 million or $75 million within 12 months.Related financing must undergo qualification review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and continuous disclosure, with the investment cap for unaccredited investors being the greater of 10% of their annual income or net worth. Issuers must also disclose the token supply and release plan, minting and burning mechanisms, governance and smart contract permissions, source code, as well as project construction commitments and progress.When the issuer completes or permanently ceases relevant construction obligations, makes no new construction commitments, and submits a transition report, the related investment contracts will be deemed terminated, and the crypto assets will no longer be subject to securities laws under that investment contract. Issuers that do not use the above financing exemptions can also utilize this safe harbor. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission estimates that approximately 475 issuers will use the investment contract safe harbor each year, with about 130 issuers utilizing the two new exemptions. Qualified issuances may not be considered restricted securities and can be resold immediately without contractual restrictions.The proposal will also exclude initial offerings and certain secondary transactions within its scope from state registration and qualification requirements, but it does not involve exchanges, brokers, dealers, custodians, nor is it an independent innovation exemption for tokenized securities and on-chain transactions. The comment period is 60 days after publication in the Federal Register. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins and Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda have all issued supportive statements.

According to the Financial Times, citing two informed sources, regulators are preparing to lift the exit restrictions on Manus founder and CEO Xiao Hong and others. Xiao Hong has informed employees that he plans to return to Singapore soon.Xiao Hong and Manus co-founder and chief scientist Ji Yichao were asked to stay in the country in March this year. At that time, regulators were investigating whether Meta's acquisition of Manus violated relevant regulations. In April, regulators requested Meta to withdraw the approximately $2 billion acquisition.Manus has officially confirmed this week that it will resume independent operations. The split plan is also taking shape. Original shareholders such as Tencent, ZhenFund, and HSG will participate in the buyback, and Tencent will also acquire most of Benchmark's shares, becoming the largest single shareholder of Manus, but its stake will not exceed 50%. Manus will not be merged into Tencent and will continue to operate independently in Singapore.The final plan still requires approval from regulatory authorities. From the current plan, regulators are requesting the dismantling of Meta's acquisition relationship with Manus, but they have not asked Manus to relocate its business.

According to CoinDesk, Trump Media (DJT) is gradually withdrawing from certain areas of cryptocurrency, including canceling plans to establish a publicly listed CRO token accumulation company. This plan was proposed during the peak of the digital asset reserve boom last year.Trump Media, Crypto.com, and special purpose acquisition company Yorkville Acquisition announced that the three parties have jointly terminated the Trump Media Group CRO strategic plan, citing "current market conditions and a shift in business and stakeholder priorities." The plan was originally intended to establish a publicly listed company focused on accumulating Cronos native tokens and generating additional income by staking these tokens. Trump Media spent $105 million on CRO tokens in September 2025, as part of its broader collaboration with Crypto.com, which aimed to integrate token rewards into its products. Following the announcement, the price of CRO fell by 5%. Additionally, the two companies also terminated another collaboration, under which Crypto.com was originally set to provide services for certain planned exchange-traded funds (ETFs) under Yorkville America.

The research organization SemiAnalysis released an analysis indicating that Google DeepMind is no longer among the leading AI laboratories. A week prior, DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis stepped back from daily operations, and key members such as Google Chief Scientist Jeff Dean and Gemini co-lead Oriol Vinyals left to establish a new lab called Discovery Loop. The analysis suggests that the long-term struggle within Google over computing power allocation between Gemini and GCP has concluded with GCP emerging victorious.SemiAnalysis stated that Gemini 3.5 Pro has been canceled, and Gemini 3.6 Flash's performance is inferior to that of leading Chinese open-source models and Grok 4.5. Currently, Gemini has fallen to the 8th or 9th position in the large model rankings. Meanwhile, GCP is selling a large number of TPUs to competitors like Anthropic, having secured long-term leasing and sales contracts for hundreds of thousands of TPUs over the past nine months. The Tokenomics model estimates that Gemini's own ARR is about $12 billion, while GCP's third-party AI cloud service revenue is expected to exceed $73 billion by the end of 2027, with TPU system sales contributing an additional over $120 billion. GCP's latest quarterly growth rate is 82%, and it is expected to accelerate to over 100% by 2027 due to TPU system sales, contributing approximately $3 to Google's earnings per share.

It's sad. I still believe re-staking will return in some form, just a bit too early."

The South Korean stock market fell sharply on Monday, with major chip stocks experiencing profit-taking after last Friday's record surge, while investors also reduced leveraged trading. Analysts indicated that this round of adjustment was mainly due to profit-taking after the previous surge and the exit of leveraged funds. In addition, the strengthening of the Korean won and news related to advancements in AI and semiconductor technology in China also increased market pressure.Data shows that last Friday, the South Korean stock market recorded its largest single-day gain, with the KOSPI rising by 18%, and the large foreign purchases were believed to be related to short covering. However, in early trading on Monday, global investors shifted to selling, with foreign investors selling more than 1 trillion won (approximately 698 million USD) in the South Korean stock market.
