Sky proposes a comprehensive reform of the treasury revenue distribution mechanism. Founder Rune Christensen stated that with Genesis Capital's transition to Grove, Sky has officially ended the genesis capitalization phase, and the previous irregular capital deployment determined by governance has come to an end.The proposal simplifies the treasury management function (TMF) from a five-step conditional waterfall structure to a four-step fixed allocation framework, covering security and maintenance, overall backup capital, smart burn engine, and USDS staking rewards, while eliminating multiple legacy mechanisms. This move comes as Sky is rapidly expanding, with the supply of USDS rising to approximately $11.6 billion, making it the third-largest stablecoin. Previously, the Sky community authorized the deployment of up to $2.5 billion through the stablecoin incubator Obex, and launched the native USDS on Avalanche in April.

According to the Hong Kong Wen Wei Po, the Hong Kong police have disclosed the resolution of a cross-border phone scam case, where a criminal group impersonated mainland officials, specifically targeting mainland students studying in the UK and Australia.The scammers falsely claimed that the victims were involved in criminal cases such as money laundering and demanded their "cooperation in the investigation." They instructed the victims to travel to Hong Kong to purchase gold grains in multiple transactions at jewelry stores as "collateral," with each transaction not exceeding HKD 120,000 to evade the registration system of gold shops. The group members then collected and transferred the stolen goods. The gold grains were subsequently melted down into gold bars or exchanged for cash and virtual currency. The police have currently received a total of 7 related cases, involving approximately HKD 7 million, with the highest single case loss reaching HKD 1.6 million.

Money laundering methods included purchasing real estate and using relatives' names to obscure the flow of funds.

According to Forbes, Ripple and Stellar founder Jed McCaleb will invest $1 billion from his approximately $3.9 billion cryptocurrency fortune through his nonprofit organization Astera Institute to develop AGI systems based on principles of the human brain. He has also committed an additional $600 million to the field of neuroscience.Astera Institute, located in Emeryville, is currently planning to record the neural activity patterns of mice performing tasks through brain-machine interfaces, and then translate the research findings into new AI architectures, with future subjects expanding to monkeys and humans. McCaleb believes that the current mainstream Transformer architecture lacks key elements such as planning, decision-making, and motivation, and that new directions need to be explored. AI based on principles of the human brain is more likely to be understood and controlled by humans.

Bitcoin is currently maintaining a range-bound oscillation pattern. Under the multiple pressures of the macro environment, market liquidity continues to be constrained, and the price direction remains unclear. Analysis indicates that the interplay of energy prices, monetary policy, and geopolitical risks has led to a compression of liquidity, causing the market to enter a "wait-and-see period." The current market is not lacking in structure but rather in incremental funds.Recently, Bitcoin has stabilized after experiencing volatility, with selling pressure easing somewhat, while ETF fund flows have shown a slight net inflow. However, spot demand remains weak, and the imbalance between supply and demand limits price breakthroughs. From a technical perspective, Bitcoin has found support in the $67,000-$69,000 range, with a key resistance level forming around $72,000. Analysts state that there is a "liquidity gap" above this range, and once effectively broken, the price could quickly rise to the $82,000 area; however, until demand shows significant improvement, the market will continue to maintain an oscillating pattern.On the macro level, high energy prices, global central banks maintaining high interest rates, and uncertainties in the Middle East collectively exacerbate market concerns about "stagflation" risks. Kraken Research points out that the combination of slowing growth and inflationary pressures complicates the policy path and suppresses the performance of risk assets. Against this backdrop, the market has entered a "liquidity compression phase."Bitunix analysis suggests that the mismatch of multiple macro factors has compressed funds into a narrow range, with Bitcoin acting more as a risk appetite indicator rather than a trend trading target. In terms of funds, the March spot Bitcoin ETF recorded a net inflow of approximately $1.5 billion, an improvement from the net outflow in February, but still below January levels, indicating cautious institutional fund inflows. The derivatives market is leaning defensive, with funding rates remaining negative and high demand for downside protection; meanwhile, spot trading volume has not shown sustained growth, indicating limited market participation. Overall, Bitcoin has not yet formed a clear breakthrough or downward trend, and is currently closer to a "accumulation and consolidation" phase, with future movements still dependent on macro data, policy signals, and changes in geopolitical situations.

According to reports from CCTV News, based on insider revelations, journalists quickly found a business called GEO by searching multiple online platforms.

They have long undertaken various press release tasks to ensure that AI large models reference and capture them, becoming an important part of hunting AI large models and conducting data "poisoning."

Benoit Anne from MFS Investment Management stated in a report that, given the potential strength of the global economy, the threat of stagflation this time is far lower than after the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022. The head of the company's market insights team noted that there are concerns in the market about a severe inflation shock following a significant surge in oil prices, "but currently we believe the risks of persistent inflation are not the same."He mentioned that it is reassuring that the inflation market seems to agree with this view. He pointed out that the one-year inflation breakeven rate in the U.S. appears to have broken upward, while longer-term rates such as the five-year and ten-year rates have not changed much.
