Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua stated that, as expected, with the end of the war, there is no reason for both the U.S. and Iran to continue fighting. The market has rebounded as anticipated to above $80,000, and a gradual liquidation strategy will be adopted. According to expectations, $60,000 may not be the bottom of this round, but U.S. stocks and even A-shares are continuously hitting new highs led by AI. Hynix and Samsung have both surpassed a trillion in profits, and in the future, everyone will consume tokens daily, as essential as eating and drinking.In the long term, there is no bubble in AI, but in the short term, it is uncertain whether there will be a black swan event. Buffett is frantically hoarding cash for a reason. If there is indeed an opportunity to bottom out at $50,000, then there will be a fourfold opportunity in the next crypto bull market. As for the abundant opportunities in AI, some cryptocurrency miners have transitioned to AI computing power, cryptocurrency entrepreneurs have become AI founders, and even trading platforms have started AI Trading. Investors should also properly allocate AI equity and stocks.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform that there was a service outage at Coinbase yesterday, which is absolutely unacceptable. The root cause was multiple cooling units at the AWS data center failing simultaneously, leading to overheating in one server room. Most of Coinbase's systems are designed with redundancy to handle the failure of a single availability zone, and they did operate normally last night.However, centralized exchanges were not spared, as their architecture is specially optimized for low latency and customer co-location, making it difficult to simultaneously ensure fault tolerance at the availability zone level. While enabling the exchange to withstand availability zone failures would introduce latency issues and disrupt customer co-location, the team will reassess these trade-offs to at least ensure that when a switch to a different availability zone is needed, the duration of the outage can be significantly reduced. He expressed gratitude to the AWS and Coinbase teams who worked through the night to repair the issue and promised to release a detailed technical explanation later.

According to market news, LayerZero Labs co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino had a heated debate with security researchers today in the ETHSecurity Community Telegram group. The core controversy includes: since LayerZero Labs can immediately upgrade a default library contract without a time limit to forge messages (similar to the case where rsETH was hacked), the LZ OFT, valued at over $3 billion, is recently at risk of being stolen; researcher Banteg pointed out that mainstream projects like Ethena and EtherFi were still using this default library contract weeks ago, and currently, there is still $178 million worth exposed to risk, with these funds coming from projects that are still using the default library.On-chain data shows that LayerZero Labs multi-signature signers participated in non-multi-signature activities such as meme coin trading, DEX exchanges, and cross-chain bridging, which means that the multi-signature keys in the formal environment were connected to websites, increasing phishing risks. Regarding the multi-signature signers of LayerZero using production environment keys for trading activities, Bryan confirmed that the related transactions were completed by members of the multi-signature team, but denied that it was "meme coin trading," explaining it as "testing PEPE on the LZ OFT token standard," and stated that the involved member has been removed. Bryan also suggested that project parties "directly fix configurations" instead of using default configurations to reduce risks. Banteg subsequently tagged a long list of LayerZero users still using the default library contract, pointing out that these projects should migrate to fixed configurations as soon as possible.
