According to reports from Blue Whale Technology, the next-generation Doubao AI phone, jointly promoted by ZTE and ByteDance, may be delayed from its originally expected release in the second quarter due to issues with the filing and certification process. Sources reveal that the phone needs to pass both the large model filing with the Cyberspace Administration and the network access certification with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; currently, the product is still in the second application filing stage. If the approval goes smoothly, the new device is expected to be launched as early as July to August this year.In terms of the supply chain, the screen supplier for the next-generation Doubao phone has been changed from Shentianma to BOE, the battery will use Desay battery and ATL cells, and the manufacturing will be handled by Zhongnuo Communications, a subsidiary of Furui Electronics.

Crypto KOL and Rollbit partner Alex Wice posted on X platform that Ryan Salame is in prison for refusing to testify against SBF, which reflects flaws in the U.S. judicial system. Alex Wice believes that SBF was deprived of the right to present evidence during the trial, as Judge Kaplan rejected his defense based on "relying on legal advice" and excluded evidence related to solvency and service terms.Alex Wice pointed out that the narrative of the trial was a fabricated story conceived by the prosecutors and Sullivan & Cromwell, aimed at placing all blame on SBF. In fact, FTX had only a small funding gap at the time of bankruptcy; although SBF had management failures, there was no fraudulent intent, and he always tried to keep FTX running to repay customers. He believes that if SBF had not signed the bankruptcy agreement, FTX customers might have received repayments more quickly. Alex Wice calls for the release of Ryan Salame and SBF.In response to this matter, SBF's account on X platform stated: "I fundamentally agree with all of the above points. But FTX never went bankrupt. I never filed for bankruptcy. The lawyers took over the company, and 4 hours later, they submitted a false bankruptcy filing to steal the company's assets."

According to DL News, Bittrex's bankruptcy filing is filled with tens of thousands of contradictory, suspicious, and unlikely transactions, which could affect nearly 2 million customers who held funds on the exchange before its closure in 2023.Regulatory compliance researcher Pasha Onur stated, "Our analysis of the court documents and Bittrex's hot and cold wallets shows that over $500 million in fraudulent transactions were submitted to the bankruptcy court across multiple bankruptcy cases." If the numerous transactions submitted in Bittrex's bankruptcy filing are inaccurate, it could have significant implications for creditors attempting to recover funds from the collapsed trading platform. Bittrex was founded in Seattle in 2014 and had repeatedly violated regulatory requirements, filing for bankruptcy in May 2023, shortly after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused it of operating an unregistered securities exchange. The trading platform shut down in December of the same year.
