Netflix Founder Goes to His Most Feared Place

Netflix co-founder and chairman Reed Hastings is stepping down from the board after nearly 30 years with the company, despite Netflix posting its strongest-ever quarterly results with revenue up 16% and net profit surging 83% year-over-year. The move comes as Hastings deepens his involvement in AI governance, having joined the board of Anthropic last year through its Long-Term Benefit Trust, an independent body focused on aligning AI development with humanity’s long-term interests. Hastings, who studied AI in the 1980s, has shifted from optimism to caution regarding AI’s impact. He recently identified AI as the biggest threat to Netflix, fearing that AI-generated content could eventually make free platforms like YouTube so compelling that paid subscriptions become less attractive. His concerns are grounded in Netflix’s own history of disrupting traditional media through technology. While Netflix is actively integrating AI into production—including a recent $600 million acquisition of an AI-assisted filmmaking tools company—Hastings appears to be hedging against a future where AI fundamentally alters content creation and consumption. His departure marks a symbolic moment, reflecting both his personal pivot toward AI ethics and the broader existential questions facing the entertainment industry.

Bitcoin Supply In Profit Drops Sharply, Echoing Previous Bear Market Levels, Downtrend To Continue?

Bitcoin's price has failed to recover significantly since its all-time high, reinforcing bearish sentiment. The supply of BTC in profit has sharply declined to around 59%, nearing levels last seen during the previous bear market. This indicates that nearly half of all Bitcoin is held at a loss, well below the historical average of 75%. Analysts suggest that if the profit supply drops to 50%, it could signal a market bottom, though current conditions point to a potential accumulation phase rather than mass selling. Additionally, the MVRV Z-Score has not yet entered the bottoming zone, suggesting the bear market may continue for another six months, with another major price drop likely.

Bitcoin climbs 11% as accumulation enters day 11 – Is BTC’s bull run coming?

Bitcoin has surged 11% to $72,000 amid an 11-day accumulation streak, signaling a potential market recovery despite previous bearish sentiment. On-chain metrics show around 3 million BTC were accumulated starting March 30, while supply in profit remains at a low 59%—historically a zone of selling pressure. However, investors are treating current levels as discounted entry points, with 8,371 addresses moving holdings off exchanges in four days, indicating stronger long-term conviction. Although $342 million in BTC was sold recently—the highest weekly outflow since November 2025—this appears to be profit-taking rather than a bearish shift. Market structure suggests a rebound is likely, as similar cycles have previously led to significant upward moves.

In a Losing Bear Market, Who Is Quietly Making a Fortune?

Amid a prolonged bear market where most crypto participants are losing money, a few projects continue to generate significant revenue. A closer look at Defillama’s revenue rankings reveals that profitable projects share simple and clear revenue models, primarily falling into two categories: spread income and transaction fees. Spread-based revenue models involve acting as capital intermediaries—absorbing funds at lower costs and deploying them at higher yields. Examples include stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle, which earn from interest on reserve assets like U.S. Treasuries; lending protocols such as Aave, which profit from the spread between borrowing and deposit rates; and liquid staking services like Lido, which retain a portion of staking rewards as fees. Transaction fee models generate revenue by taxing activities like trading, token creation, or other on-chain actions. Platforms such as Hyperliquid and EdgeX (perpetual trading), Polymarket (event prediction), pump.fun and GMGN (meme trading), Aerodrome and Jupiter (spot trading), as well as Phantom (via swap fees) and NFT marketplaces like Courtyard and Fragment, all rely heavily on transaction fees. Notable exceptions include Grayscale (traditional asset management fees), Chainlink (oracle data service fees), and Titan Builder (which profited unusually from a large MEV capture incident). The key insight is that sustainable profitability in a bear market comes from straightforward revenue models combined with sophisticated product execution, liquidity management, and user engagement—not complex or high-risk strategies.

Domestic AI Booms: Zhipu's Market Cap Surpasses 430 Billion HKD, Mysterious Model Tops Text-to-Video Ranking

China's AI sector is experiencing a significant surge, with Zhipu AI's market capitalization exceeding HK$430 billion and a new model, HappyHorse-1.0, topping the text-to-video generation rankings. On April 9, Hong Kong and A-share AI stocks rallied strongly. Zhipu's shares rose 8.74%, and Xunce Technology surged over 24%. The A-share market saw similar gains, with the China Merchants AI ETF rising over 10%. The rally was fueled by two major catalysts. First, the anonymous model HappyHorse-1.0 topped the Artificial Analysis Video Arena leaderboard, surpassing ByteDance's Seedance 2.0. It generates synchronized video and audio from text in about 38 seconds. Second, Zhipu released its flagship model, GLM-5.1, which can autonomously perform complex software engineering tasks for 8 hours without human intervention. Notably, it was trained entirely on Huawei's Ascend 910B processors, a milestone for China's AI self-sufficiency. Industry experts note the rapid iteration of AI models, with new breakthroughs frequently appearing. While some market hype, the technical capabilities of these models are noteworthy. Zhipu also increased its API prices by 10%, signaling a shift from a growth-at-all-costs model to a focus on sustainable profitability and value creation. The industry is moving from a "technology race" to a "value co-creation" phase, entering an early stage of "order fulfillment and profit release." Paid services for top-tier models are in high demand, indicating the market is moving past the free user acquisition phase.

Is April 13 The Best Time To Buy Bitcoin? Analyst Shares The Best Strategy For Getting The Most Profits

A crypto analyst known as Mags has proposed a disciplined long-term investment strategy for Bitcoin, called the "500-day Bitcoin strategy," rather than recommending short-term entry points like April 13. The approach involves buying BTC exactly 500 days before a halving event, holding through market fluctuations, and selling 500 days later to capture significant gains. Mags points to January 13, 2027, as the next optimal entry date, ahead of the expected May 2028 halving. Historical data from previous cycles shows this strategy allowed investors to buy near cycle lows and sell near peaks—for example, purchasing between $3,000–$5,000 before the 2020 halving and selling above $69,000. The most recent sell signal occurred on August 24, 2025, near $109,000, allowing investors to secure substantial profits before the subsequent 45% decline. The strategy is designed to minimize emotional trading and maximize returns over full market cycles.

Polymarket: 84% of Traders Are Losing Money, 0.033% of People Take the Majority of Profits

A recent analysis of 2.5 million Polymarket wallet addresses by on-chain researcher Andrey Sergeenkov reveals that 84.1% of traders are losing money, with only 16% achieving any profit. A mere 2% of addresses have accumulated over $1,000 in profits, while just 0.033% (840 addresses) have earned more than $100,000. The study, which improved on prior methodologies by accounting for token splits and mergers, shows a significant increase in unprofitable traders compared to a previous 70% estimate. Profit concentration is extreme: only 1.25% of addresses make over $1,000 monthly, 0.26% earn above $5,000, and just 0.13% surpass $10,000. Most high-earning addresses are short-lived, with 53% of top traders active for only one month. Research indicates that automated strategies—such as arbitrage bots and high-frequency trading systems—dominate profits, exploiting public on-chain data and speed advantages that manual retail traders lack. Despite Polymarket’s accuracy in prediction (94% a month before outcomes), the platform exhibits a stark wealth disparity, raising questions about its function as an information aggregator versus a zero-sum game favoring sophisticated players.

Bitcoin Falls To ‘Bottom Discovery’ Zone — What Does This Mean?

Bitcoin is trading around $66,500, showing signs of potential bottom formation, according to on-chain data. The Supply in Profit metric has dropped to 11.3 million BTC, entering the "Bottom Discovery" zone—a level historically associated with major cycle bottoms, such as in 2018/2019, March 2020, and late 2022. This rapid decline suggests seller exhaustion and indicates that long-term holders are absorbing supply from short-term sellers. However, this does not guarantee an immediate V-shaped recovery but signals reduced bearish risk. Traders are advised to await further confirmation before making moves.

Ethena struggles as revenue falls 32% – Can demand save ENA at $0.089?

Ethena's (ENA) financial performance weakened significantly in Q1 2026, with its price dropping to $0.089. Key metrics show a 32% decline in Gross Protocol Revenue to $65.06 million, attributed to reduced minting activity and staking rewards. Total Value Locked (TVL) also fell by approximately $130 million since March, indicating sustained capital outflows and declining user activity, which hit a low of around 1,200 daily active users. Despite a slight improvement in gross profit, it remains substantially lower than previous quarters. However, spot market data shows consistent accumulation, with $3.41 million in net inflows over three days, suggesting investor demand may provide some price support. Without a recovery in core fundamentals, significant upside potential remains limited.

War Won or Lost? Trump: Profited

Former President Trump claimed on Truth Social that productive U.S.-Iran talks had led to a 5-day delay in military strikes, causing immediate market reactions: gold rebounded over $200, oil dropped 14%, and S&P 500 futures rose nearly 4%. However, Iranian media denied any talks occurred, calling it a "psychological operation." Just before Trump’s post, large trades were detected—a $1.5 billion S&P 500 buy order and a $580 million crude oil sell-off—suggesting possible insider trading or sophisticated market anticipation of Trump’s pattern. This isn’t the first time Trump’s statements have moved markets; similar tactics were used during tariff policy shifts in 2025, where rumors and official posts created multiple market swings. Trump’s market influence may serve dual purposes: creating trading opportunities and using stock market gains as a proxy for economic success to bolster political support. Despite accusations, lack of direct evidence shields him from legal consequences. His actions highlight the intersection of financial markets, media, and political strategy.
