The founder of 360 Group, Zhou Hongyi, stated in an interview with the Global Times that the United States, under the banner of "protecting the rights of victims," has directly transformed the virtual currency assets involved in the case into strategic financial reserves under its control, completing a magnificent and legitimate transfer from the end of the criminal chain to national assets.This unilateral harvesting behavior by the U.S. not only undermines the law enforcement activities of other countries, leading to secondary losses for victims, but also disrupts the global flow of virtual currency assets, destabilizing the financial stability of emerging market countries. The ultimate goal is to consolidate the dominance of the U.S. dollar in the digital financial sector.

According to on-chain analysis released by @Route2FI, a certain whale is holding a total value of $24 million in long positions of ARC on the Perp DEX Lighter, and is adding $360,000 every hour through TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), continuously injecting funds to drive the bullish trend. Currently, this whale has made a profit of $5 million.The annualized funding rate for ARC contracts on Lighter has skyrocketed to 2100%, equivalent to short sellers earning about 5.7% in funding fees daily, which will attract more shorts and intensify the long-short battle. Route2FI noted that this whale's behavior is similar to the price manipulation incident involving JellyJelly on Hyperliquid. In March 2025, a whale trader on Hyperliquid heavily shorted the JELLY perpetual contract while simultaneously driving up the spot price through other accounts and on-chain, leading to the liquidation of short traders. The Hyperliquid liquidity pool HLP suffered losses after settlement, prompting the Hyperliquid team to urgently vote to delist the contract and force settlement at a very low price.Route2FI added that it is currently unclear what the whale's intentions are. The HLP of Hyperliquid will absorb liquidated positions, but the LLP of Lighter will not absorb such large positions. If the position is too large or the risk is too high, it will directly trigger the ADL automatic deleveraging mechanism, making it difficult for the whale to replicate the strategy of the JellyJelly incident successfully.

According to CoinDesk, Michael Saylor, founder of Strategy, compared the current situation of Bitcoin, which has fallen about 45% from its peak, to Apple's "low point" in 2013 during a recent interview, emphasizing that every successful technology investment must undergo similar adjustments.He pointed out that the current Bitcoin pullback has lasted for 137 days, but it may take several years to fully recover, just as Apple took 7 years to regain market confidence. Saylor believes that structural changes, such as the migration of the derivatives market to U.S. regulatory markets, are compressing volatility, limiting what could have been an 80% drop to a range of 40%-50%. He also dismissed the threats of quantum computing and the Epstein-related controversies, stating that these are merely evolving panic narratives that do not pose a substantial threat to the Bitcoin network.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua responded on platform X regarding the recovery of 626,574 ETH. He stated: "Stick to trend investing, it's a very simple logic: if you believe in a bull market, buy in; if you believe in a bear market, cash out. Be greedy when others are fearful; you will never buy at the lowest point, nor sell at the highest point.We are neither deliberately high-profile nor low-profile; we simply share our understanding and operations. There is no competitive relationship with everyone; winning or losing is determined by the market. At the same time, this process allows for personal growth, witnessing the journey, and making connections with peers."
