The "whale" stated in a post on platform X, "Recently, several trades (in Bitcoin) have been short-term long positions, and no short positions have been taken, as the cost-effectiveness of shorting is too low at this time. Relatively speaking, we are already at a phase bottom, and I have a feeling that the trend for Bitcoin should soon emerge, starting a new round of increases. I am afraid of missing the signal for the start.This trade (referring to a long position of 69.4 BTC opened on the 18th) may be considered a medium to long-term position, depending on the situation, and short-term fluctuations cannot be ruled out. In the next six months, a large-scale correction in U.S. stocks related to artificial intelligence technology cannot be ruled out."

Custodia Bank has submitted a petition for rehearing to the U.S. Supreme Court, requesting confirmation on whether the president of the regional Federal Reserve Bank has the authority to refuse to provide master account services to institutions. Custodia Bank has applied for a Federal Reserve master account multiple times and was denied by the Federal Reserve in 2023, citing significant safety and soundness risks associated with its new business model and its intended focus on digital assets.Custodia Bank subsequently appealed to the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled in favor of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank in 2024.

According to an analysis of the latest leaked data by WIRED, the secretive society Dialog, co-founded by Peter Thiel, has an extremely ruthless and biased "grading and elimination" mechanism.Dialog implements a secret rule of "rating upon entry." Although the club has thousands of members, only 192 personal profiles (including 130 formal members and some candidates) were leaked and reviewed by WIRED. They reveal the club's counterintuitive hierarchy of disdain: C-level is the highest VIP, B-level is the overwhelming majority of ordinary members, while the A-level, usually regarded as the best, is actually the least known bottom tier.This rating is directly tied to members' wallets. Only about 25% of VIP "C" level big shots are required to pay the full attendance fee, while among the bottom "A" level members, the proportion paying the full attendance fee of tens of thousands of dollars is as high as 70%.Ironically, the AI screening mechanism introduced by Dialog is extremely superstitious about so-called "national recognition." For example, actor Josh Brolin, who played "Thanos," has never attended but wins VIP "C" level status due to box office success and millions of fans; meanwhile, academic giant Tyler Cowen was deemed "not famous enough among ordinary people" by the AI and nearly classified into the ordinary tier, only barely promoted to C-level through human intervention.The "value-added points" serve as a scythe for eliminating "useless people," specifically measuring members' resource connections and intellectual contributions to other club giants. After each gathering, staff review members' performances like "code review," and those with too low value-added points, cultural mismatches, or declining visibility will be ruthlessly removed from the invitation list.Additionally, the leaked database also exposed its built-in social and dating matching system (10% of members join the singles pool), which has a "no-match list" while recommending pairings.This so-called objective assessment system is also filled with biases: women make up one-third of the members but only receive 18% of VIP seats; politically, it is even harder to escape differential treatment. Although more than half of the members identify as "left-leaning," the probability of "right-leaning" members obtaining VIP status is more than twice that of left-leaning members, and even the "left-leaning" label of an environmental leader was forcibly rewritten to "right-leaning" by staff in the background.

Glassnode data shows that the 30-day moving average of BTC treasury company's total trading volume has decreased from $34.2 billion/day in December 2025 to the current $17.4 billion/day, a 49% drop in six months.Glassnode points out that the speculative interest in DAT stocks is highly correlated with BTC prices. As spot prices pull back, interest in gaining leveraged Bitcoin exposure through listed treasury tools has also weakened, and trading activity has halved from its peak.

According to a report by Chainalysis, over the past six months, at least $36.7 million has been stolen from protocols with unverified source code, involving protocols such as Truebit, Trusted Volumes, Aperture Finance, and Ekubo. Attackers are searching for vulnerabilities by decompiling the original bytecode. AI-assisted vulnerability exploitation development is accelerating this trend, as large language models can scale the identification of vulnerability patterns.Chainalysis points out that unverified contracts lack community review and are often excluded from bug bounty programs. The barrier to AI decompilation and vulnerability analysis is rapidly decreasing, allowing attackers to systematically scan thousands of unverified contracts. Protocols should verify all contract code, audit the contracts actually deployed, expand the coverage of bug bounties, and implement real-time on-chain monitoring. Each unverified contract is a potential target for automated scanning, and relying solely on obfuscation as a security measure is no longer effective.

According to the Korea Herald, the five major virtual asset trading platforms in South Korea (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Korbit, Gopax) have experienced a total of 57 hacking and system failure incidents over the past six years (from 2020 to April 2026), with a total compensation amount of approximately 7 billion Korean won (about 5.1 million USD). By exchange, the number of incidents is as follows: Upbit 26 incidents, Bithumb 14 incidents, Gopax 8 incidents, Coinone 6 incidents, Korbit 3 incidents.Among them, Bithumb compensated approximately 2.5 billion Korean won (about 1.8 million USD) for the BTC misissue incident in February this year, Upbit compensated approximately 790 million Korean won (about 570,000 USD) for a hacking incident in November 2025, and compensated approximately 3.2 billion Korean won (about 2.3 million USD) for a system incident on December 3, 2024. It is worth noting that the standards for compiling incident reports by exchanges and the scale and form of compensation vary. For example, Gopax counts errors that occur when viewing the asset list as system failures, while Bithumb only counts situations where all customers encounter difficulties using core services for more than 10 minutes as system failures.In addition, Bithumb also provided some applicants who suffered losses due to system failures with free fee vouchers instead of cash compensation. The compensation amounts for system failures are as follows: Upbit approximately 3.21 billion Korean won, Bithumb approximately 3.2 billion Korean won, Coinone approximately 49 million Korean won. Korbit and Gopax did not provide any compensation.
