Barclays: The Nvidia controversy and financing risks cannot hinder the long-term trend of AI; investors should still maintain exposure

Julian Lafarge, Chief Market Strategist at Barclays Private Bank, stated that despite the uncertainty surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's future, the uncertain returns on AI investments, and rising financing costs testing market confidence, investors should continue to participate in the AI market. Lafarge believes that AI is not a bubble but a technological revolution that will impact all industries, although its commercialization and infrastructure development cannot happen overnight.Lafarge pointed out that Nvidia is referred to as the "central bank of AI trading," but even if the company changes its CEO, it does not mean that the entire AI industry chain's trading needs to be re-evaluated or renegotiated. He compared the potential leadership transition at Nvidia to previous management transitions at Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon, arguing that a successor taking over does not necessarily weaken corporate value.However, Barclays lists interest rates and the financing environment as major risks that could disrupt the market. As the scale of AI infrastructure investment expands, the market's focus is shifting from whether the demand for computing power is real to whether the massive capital expenditures can generate sufficient returns. Data center construction also faces bottlenecks such as power access, equipment installation, and commercial operation cycles, while expectations of tightening Federal Reserve policies may also raise corporate financing costs and depress long-term cash flow valuations.Lafarge emphasized that the trillions of dollars in AI investment commitments cannot quickly translate into actual computing power delivery, and there will be significant divergence in investment returns among companies. Tighter financing conditions may change the pace of industry investment and competitive landscape, but it does not mean that the long-term demand for AI infrastructure will disappear. Barclays still prefers to maintain exposure to AI investments until there are clear signs of a significant slowdown in industry growth momentum.

He Yi responded to the doubts about the Girlfriend Coin and its listing, stating that personal relationships cannot determine the listing of a coin

Binance co-founder He Yi responded to rumors stating that she does indeed know Wan Hui, co-founder of the crypto venture capital firm Primitive Ventures, but there is no so-called situation of a close friend accompanying childbirth. She stated that even her own mother could not push a project to go live on Binance solely based on personal relationships; if a project succeeds solely due to personal connections, it indicates that Binance's own review capabilities are insufficient.He Yi also mentioned that there have been very few good projects in the cryptocurrency industry in recent years, with BNB being one of them, deserving of the trust of those who believe in Binance, but investment trading does not guarantee profits without losses. The era of 2017, where everything bought would rise, was a time of dividends, and very few remain now. The 2019 IEO was an exception because DEX had not developed at that time, and Binance had bargaining power; after DEX developed, Western VCs raised the prices of VC tokens.She further stated that Binance has never actively adopted unscrupulous methods to compete for market share in the past few years, and has always taken a straightforward defensive strategy in the face of competition. If anyone thinks they have not done well, they are welcome to criticize directly. Regarding IEOs, she said that at that time, market liquidity was concentrated on Binance, and the platform had a strong market dominance, which is why the issuance prices of new projects were generally low, giving participants the opportunity to gain profits.

OnKey founder: The iPhone 11 and earlier models have hardware vulnerabilities that cannot be fixed through system updates, and it is not recommended to use them for storing mnemonic phrases

OnKey founder Yishi posted on platform X to remind users that using older iPhone models as cold wallets for cryptocurrency assets may pose security risks. The checkm8 vulnerability exists in the BootROM of iPhone 4S to iPhone X, and the usbliter8 vulnerability, which was disclosed in June this year, affects iPhone XS, XR, 11 series, and second-generation SE, all involving the device's low-level boot code, which cannot be fixed through iOS system updates. Once an attacker gains physical access to the device, they can execute code via the USB interface before iOS boots, and turning on airplane mode cannot prevent such attacks.Yishi advises that iPhone 11 and earlier models are not recommended for storing mnemonic phrases. Users who have used such devices to save mnemonic phrases should generate a brand new mnemonic phrase in a trusted environment and migrate their assets, rather than just changing the wallet address under the original mnemonic phrase. Additionally, users should promptly update their systems, use more complex device and wallet passwords, avoid charging through public USB interfaces, and be vigilant about potential physical attacks during periods when the device is out of their control for extended periods.Previously, OneKey founder Yishi had posted on platform X suggesting users use iPhones as cold wallets, but only recommended using iPhone 17 or newer models.

Strive CEO: After the theft at Binance, Bitcoin performed better than expected, but it cannot be confirmed that the market has bottomed out

According to Cointelegraph, Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that the approximately $6.3 billion theft from Binance has not changed his long-term investment judgment on Bitcoin. Considering the scale of the attack and the overall market weakness, the decline in Bitcoin's price was less than he expected, but it is still too early to determine whether the price has bottomed out. Currently, the price of Bitcoin is about $77,400, down about 4% from before the attack began on Thursday. Strive previously disclosed that as of October 23, it held 43,000 BTC.Cole compared this wallet attack to a bank robbery, rather than a failure of the Bitcoin network. Paul Chapman, the financial crime chief at Wirex, also emphasized that the attack targeted a company's system, not the Bitcoin network itself.Regarding future trends, Cole believes the market is in an "early spring" recovery phase, which may last another 6 to 9 months, with prices gradually rising rather than rapidly hitting new highs. He stated that this incident would not change his investment logic regarding Bitcoin over any reasonable time span.In terms of historical market reactions, after Bybit was attacked for $1.5 billion in 2025, combined with overall market volatility, Bitcoin fell from nearly $100,000 to about $95,000, a decline of about 5%. Additionally, according to CNBC citing Anchorage Digital data, in the past, after cryptocurrency trading platforms were attacked, Bitcoin's average decline in the first 24 hours was 8.3%.The investigation into the attack is still ongoing. Blockaid CEO Ido Ben-Natan believes that the attackers may have exploited Binance's trading signature process, as his analysis found a transaction containing 50 signature authorizations, with matching authorizations allowing the code controlled by the attackers to execute through the wallet. Binance stated that as of Friday, no evidence of wallet private key leakage had been found.

DeGods founder Frank: Anthropic's prospectus cannot hide the investment risks in AI

The founder and trader of the NFT project DeGods, Frank, posted on X that although Anthropic's latest S-1 shows strong revenue growth, it cannot be concluded that the resistance to AI investment has disappeared. He stated that the second quarter of 2026 will be a peak for companies to purchase and consume AI Tokens in large quantities, and the market will only begin to pay attention to AI spending management by July; the rise in model homogeneity and the narrowing of output differences may intensify competition and compress profit margins, a trend that has not yet fully manifested in the second quarter.Frank also mentioned that there is still a lack of clear evidence proving that AI can create more profits for most companies, and Anthropic's large enterprise clients are also under pressure to improve their profit margins, which may lead to cuts in spending related to Claude in the future. Large tech companies and AI labs have signed capital expenditure commitments extending to 2034, and related expectations may have already been factored into stock prices; if companies improve the efficiency of existing chips to reduce costs or issue more shares to raise additional capital expenditure, it could put pressure on the valuations of related stocks. He expressed a long-term optimistic view on AI and may participate significantly in the Anthropic IPO, but believes that the ultimate winners in the industry have yet to be determined, and real investment opportunities may only emerge after the current market cycle ends.
