On Monday, prominent contributors Carl Beek and Julian Ma announced their departure from the foundation, further intensifying community concerns about staff turnover.In recent months, several core researchers and protocol coordinators, including Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, Trent Van Epps, and Alex Stokes, have left or stepped back.

Liquid Capital founder Jack Yi stated on the X platform: "In the past, the wave of crypto VC and project disappearances had a core reason, which is that the financing funds were mostly consumed on: maintaining teams to develop useless web3 products. The biggest misconception is benchmarking against web2 products. Essentially, web3 is a financial industry and does not need to replicate web2 products. The most successful companies in the past crypto industry have all been financial products, from stablecoins and exchanges to successful companies in payments.Now that the AI era has arrived, first, there is no need for large financing to recruit teams, and second, AI + finance presents new opportunities. We believe that excellent founders with a few elites can achieve top-tier companies, which is currently the biggest opportunity in primary investment."

According to Cointelegraph, Riot Platforms' wallet transferred about 500 bitcoins on Wednesday, which may belong to the company's selling activities. As of now, the company has not publicly commented on this matter. Analysts believe this move may further exacerbate the selling wave of publicly listed bitcoin mining companies.Last week, another bitcoin mining company, MARA Holdings, disclosed the sale of approximately $1.1 billion in bitcoin to repurchase convertible bonds at a discount. Recently, several publicly listed bitcoin mining companies have cumulatively sold over 15,000 bitcoins to balance operational and investment needs. However, the trend of bitcoin mining companies selling off may not be a universal phenomenon, as bitcoin treasury companies, including Metaplanet, are still actively increasing their holdings.

As of the end of last month, apparent demand (measuring the extent to which demand exceeds or falls short of newly mined Bitcoin) was approximately negative 63,000 coins. Although ETF buying strength has increased during the same period, Strategy Inc. continues to accumulate. The report indicates that retail and other market participants' selling has exceeded institutional incremental buying, and demand has been continuously contracting since late November 2025, with the overall market still in a distribution phase.The whale group that accumulated about 200,000 Bitcoins during the 2024 bull market began large-scale distribution in mid-2025, with the selling pace accelerating in the fourth quarter of 2025. The buying speed of medium-sized investors is also slowing down. Bitcoin rose 2.2% in March, ending a five-month decline, but the current price is about $68,000, down approximately 45% from the peak of $126,000 in early October.In the U.S. market, Coinbase's premium has turned negative again, indicating weakened buying from U.S. investors.
