Abstract

Ethereum price risks falling below $2,000 as miners and mining pools starts withdrawing millions in staked ETH after Shanghai upgrade.

After the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade, ETH price continues its upside move and even broke the $2,000 level. The fresh liquidity in the market caused a massive rise in trading volume, but experts believe some correction in ETH price before it starts moving upside again.

Moreover, miners and mining pools withdrawing ETH continuously will put additional selling pressure on Ethereum price. The ETH price is trading in the $2,000-$2,150 range this week.

The wallet address linked to the F2Pool mining pool’s co-founder Chun Wang (satofishi.eth) has withdrawn a massive amount of ETH in the last 2 days after the Shanghai (Shapella) upgrade. Until now, 15,886.72 ETH worth over $33 million has been removed in 3,500 withdrawals.


As per Etherscan data, he transferred 1,420 ETH worth over 3 million to Binance today. The ETH flows to crypto exchanges are increasing after the Shanghai upgrade.


Whales are also dumping Ethereum (ETH) to crypto exchanges. Today, a whale “0x2E5f” chose full withdrawals and withdrew a total of 25,855 ETH and transferred 22,000 ETH to Binance for 13.26 million USDT, noted Lookonchain. Whale Alert data also reported 17,284 ETH transferred from an unknown wallet to Coinbase.

ETH price continues to trade sideways since Friday, with the price currently trading at $2,102. The 24-hour low and high are $2,057 and $2,104, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume is also flat after rising in the last few days.


Ethereum spot and derivatives trading data indicate limited price movement in the next few days. Breaking below $2,000 could be possible if the month ends in low trading volume and rise in ETH withdrawals.


TokenUnlocks revealed that 1.06 million ETH has been withdrawn in over 592k withdrawals since the Shapella upgrade. With nearly 1 million ETH withdrawals in a queue and 16k ETH withdrawals estimated in the next 12 hrs.

Ripple Launches RLUSD in Japan as Regulated Stablecoin Expansion Gains Momentum

Ripple has officially launched its regulated U.S. dollar stablecoin, RLUSD, in Japan through the SBI VC Trade platform (VCTRADE). This follows approval from Japan's Financial Services Agency under the country's Type 4 Electronic Payment Instrument framework. The launch marks a significant expansion for RLUSD into a major, technologically advanced market and deepens Ripple's long-standing partnership with the SBI Group, which began in 2016. In Japan, RLUSD will be used for cross-border payments, tokenization, and collateral management. The stablecoin is backed by U.S. dollar deposits, Treasury holdings, and cash equivalents, with regular third-party attestations. SBI VC Trade will offer free deposits and withdrawals for the asset. Since its late-2024 debut, RLUSD's market capitalization has grown to approximately $1.7 billion, making it the second USD stablecoin on the VCTRADE platform after USD Coin. Ripple highlights Japan's clear regulatory environment as key to this strategic growth.

Sam Altman's Personal Alchemy of Wealth: Investing in 400 Companies, Over 10 Deeply Tied to OpenAI

The article investigates Sam Altman's personal wealth strategy, centered around his investments in approximately 400 companies while serving as OpenAI's CEO. Despite not holding direct equity in OpenAI, Altman has built a vast portfolio, with at least 10 of his investments having commercial ties or ongoing negotiations with OpenAI. This creates a complex network of potential conflicts of interest, drawing scrutiny from U.S. congressional committees and state attorneys general. Key investments highlighted include the anti-aging startup Retro Biosciences (valued at $258 million for his stake as of late last year) and the chipmaker Cerebras, whose value soared following an OpenAI procurement deal. His most significant financial gain is linked to the nuclear fusion company Helion, where a recent funding round reportedly increased his stake's value to at least $4.1 billion. The article details a decade-long relationship between Altman, Helion, and OpenAI, including a controversial non-binding power purchase agreement and Altman's efforts to secure investments from OpenAI and its backer SoftBank for Helion. Other points include internal investigations at Tools for Humanity (developer of Worldcoin) and OpenAI's massive contracts with tech giants like Nvidia. According to Forbes, Altman's net worth is around $3.4 billion, ranking him 1251st globally—a rise of over 1400 places since 2024. OpenAI's board states that Altman's external dealings are transparent and potential conflicts are carefully managed.

Former SpaceX Engineer Reconstructs Financial Execution System Using First Principles

Former SpaceX engineer Lex Li applies "First Principles Thinking" to financial infrastructure with Plan Execution Lab, recently raising angel funding at a $50M post-money valuation. The team argues that the core function of finance is capital allocation, and the critical gap is not in trading but in execution, which remains highly manual and fragmented. While assets, liquidity, and settlement have migrated on-chain, execution workflows (monitoring, risk management, liquidity coordination) are still human-native. In an era of accelerating AI agents, strategy decay is rapid, shifting the competitive edge from having the best strategy to having the most robust execution network. Plan Execution Lab introduces two core components: 1. **PlanX**: A Financial Execution Protocol designed as infrastructure for the migration from CEX to DEX, providing on-chain execution capabilities, liquidity access, risk management, and capital orchestration. 2. **Xgent**: An Autonomous Financial Runtime. Users define investment intents, risk preferences, and constraints; Xgent automatically constructs an execution graph, verifies it, and handles ongoing execution and optimization—streamlining the process from Intent to Autonomous Execution. The long-term vision is to create the "Bloomberg Terminal for Autonomous Finance"—a shared operating environment and execution network built collectively by participants like execution nodes, liquidity providers, and autonomous agents. The future of finance, they contend, belongs not to isolated algorithms but to open, collaborative execution networks.

Former SpaceX Engineer Reconstructs Financial Execution System from First Principles

Plan Execution Lab, a financial infrastructure project founded by former SpaceX engineer Lex Li, has raised angel funding at a $50M post-money valuation. The startup is applying "first principles thinking" from Li's SpaceX experience to rethink financial market execution. Their analysis posits that while assets, liquidity, and settlement have moved on-chain, the execution layer remains fundamentally human-dependent and fragmented. In the era of AI Agents, strategy advantages decay rapidly, shifting the competitive edge from isolated algorithms to robust **execution networks**. Plan Execution Lab's solution is a two-part system: **PlanX**, a Financial Execution Protocol designed to facilitate the migration from centralized exchanges (CEX) to on-chain markets by providing core on-chain execution capabilities; and **Xgent**, an Autonomous Financial Runtime. Xgent allows users to define investment goals and constraints, then autonomously constructs and manages the execution logic—moving from **Intent to Execution Graph to Verification to Autonomous Execution**. The long-term vision is to create the "Bloomberg Terminal for Autonomous Finance"—an operating environment not for humans, but for agents and execution nodes. The future financial system, they argue, will be a collaborative network built by diverse participants contributing execution capabilities, not secret strategies. The core competition will shift to who builds the most powerful and adaptive execution network.
