Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu expressed on social media that it is not surprising that Manus founder Xiao Hong is a BTC holder. In 2013, he was one of the interns we recruited at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and we worked together on Yibite."In the past decade, from Bitcoin to AI Agent, the times have changed, and the boundaries of companies have become blurred: rather than 'hiring employees,' it is more about 'identifying vectors'—finding individuals with ideas, strong execution, and rapid growth acceleration, and establishing connections early."

According to @Lyangminn, Manus founder Xiao Hong is not only a BTC holder but also an early evangelist. In November 2013, shortly after entering university, Xiao Hong wrote a long popular science article on "The Other Dimension Software World": "What is Bitcoin? How to Use It? Download Bitcoin Wallet Client." At the end of the article, he left his Bitcoin address and received a total of 0.02231 BTC in tips over 11 years, which is currently worth 2000 USD.According to previous reports from ChainCatcher, which was acquired by Meta for billions, Manus founder Xiao Hong is a seasoned BTC holder.

Meta announced the acquisition of the Chinese AI star project Manus's company Butterfly Effect for billions of dollars.It is reported that the founder and CEO Xiao Hong's personal profile on the app has a "btc holder" label.

Beijing Business Daily Financial Investigation Team published an article titled "The Surge of Cryptocurrency Speculators into Social Platforms," which points out that the chaos of cryptocurrency speculation has infiltrated platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Taobao, and Xianyu. What appears to be lifestyle sharing, newcomer benefits, or product links is, in fact, a diversion for cryptocurrency speculation, brewing a carefully woven hunting trap for ordinary people. From the perspective of diversion methods, it can be roughly divided into several situations, such as creating topics to build IP and setting up advertising links on platforms. Industry insiders believe that a "counter-hunting" battle against the chaos of cryptocurrency speculation has also begun, but to completely end this game, a joint effort from regulators, platforms, and users is needed.Not long ago, Pan Gongsheng, the governor of the People's Bank of China, publicly stated that efforts to crack down on the operation and speculation of virtual currencies within the country would continue. Since 2017, the People's Bank of China, together with relevant departments, has issued multiple policy documents to prevent and address the risks of domestic virtual currency trading and speculation, and these policy documents remain effective. In the next step, the People's Bank of China will continue to work with law enforcement agencies to combat the operation and speculation of virtual currencies within the country, maintain economic and financial order, and closely monitor and dynamically assess the development of overseas stablecoin values.

Bloomberg Businessweek Person of the Year, two-time most influential economist in China, Hong Hao posted on Xiaohongshu: BTC will only have "effective support" when it drops to the 7xxx range.

ChainCatcher live report, HashKey Group held the Global On-chain Asset Summit on October 2, where Dr. Xiao Feng discussed the development vision of the Ethereum ecosystem with Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin.Dr. Xiao Feng cited research by Nobel laureates in economics, pointing out that every industrial revolution in history has been accompanied by corresponding financial innovations: the mechanization of the first industrial revolution was driven by commercial banks and debt markets, the electrification of the second industrial revolution relied on capital markets and investment banks, while the information age of the third industrial revolution gave rise to the VC model, without which there would be no Silicon Valley and tech revolution.However, he observed that the VC industry has been facing failures in the past year or two, leading him to believe that the upcoming fourth industrial revolution—the digital or virtual economy era—will inevitably bring about entirely new financial service models to replace traditional VC. He cited Pump.fun as an example, arguing that token sales differ from the Chinese streamer tipping model, serving both as an expression of sentiment and an investment behavior, heralding a new financial revolution.Vitalik responded that the combination of zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) and identity verification technology will be a key breakthrough. By establishing a global credit rating system through ZK proofs, entrepreneurs around the world can directly raise funds globally without relying on traditional VC. He emphasized that L1 must be decentralized, but L2 can adopt a semi-decentralized approach. Nowadays, the lines between B2B and B2C in the blockchain world have become blurred. Vitalik is also optimistic about the development of AI agent payment standards, believing that the combination of AI and blockchain will create new economic models in the next decade.
