3.Forbes: These Investors Stand To Lose The Most From FTX’s Implosion

No one is set to lose more from FTX’s implosion than Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto wunderkind who founded the exchange and then drove it into the ground this week. His net worth, once as high as $26.5 billion, has plummeted to less than a billion dollars–one of the fastest falls from the billionaires ranks ever. FTX users and employees may be in for big losses too, with Bankman-Fried now trying to cobble together emergency funding to cover a shortfall of up to $8 billion as customers demand their money back. “I can't make any promises,” he tweeted Thursday. “But I'm going to try.”

Ethereum Foundation Key Researcher Josh Stark Departs After Five Years

Ethereum Foundation key researcher and project manager Josh Stark has announced his departure after five years. In a public statement, Stark reflected on the ecosystem's significant achievements, such as overcoming doubts to successfully launch Ethereum, decentralized finance (DeFi), and Proof of Stake. He did not specify his reasons for leaving or future plans, stating he intends to spend time with loved ones. His exit is the latest in a series of high-profile departures, following contributor Trent Van Epps' resignation just a day prior. This comes during a period of increased community scrutiny over Ethereum's long-term direction, which previously prompted co-founder Vitalik Buterin to propose major reforms for the Foundation in early 2025. Buterin's outlined goals included recruiting new blood, improving decentralization, and enhancing protocol throughput, while avoiding lobbying or ideological disputes.

OpenAI Completely Overhauls Codex, Grows Its Own Mouse, Schedules Itself to Outwork Humans

OpenAI has fundamentally transformed Codex from a coding assistant into a versatile AI agent capable of autonomous computer control. The updated Codex can now operate in the background with its own independent cursor, allowing it to run applications like Xcode, test software, and fix bugs without interrupting the user’s workflow. It features a built-in browser for real-time visual editing of web pages, enabling developers to make changes through direct UI interactions. The release also introduces over 90 plugins for tools like JIRA, CircleCI, and SharePoint, integrating end-to-end development and productivity workflows. A new "heartbeat" feature allows Codex to self-schedule tasks, maintain context across sessions, and work autonomously over extended periods. Additional enhancements include memory capabilities, support for handling GitHub code reviews, multi-tab terminals, and built-in file generation for Excel, PDF, and PowerPoint. Currently, advanced computer control is available on macOS (excluding EU/UK users), with Windows support limited to data retrieval. This expansion positions Codex as a foundational step toward OpenAI’s planned "super-app," combining coding, automation, and multi-tool integration into a single platform.

Bitcoin Recovery Fails To Lift Market Sentiment From Extreme Fear

Despite Bitcoin's recent recovery to around $74,800, the overall market sentiment remains in "extreme fear," according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index. The index, which measures investor sentiment based on factors like volatility, social media, and trading volume, is at a value of 23, just inside the extreme fear zone. This marks a continued period of bearish sentiment since late 2025. Although Bitcoin's rally provided a brief uplift in mid-March, the current price movement has not been enough to shift market psychology into a more positive or greedy territory. For sentiment to improve, a sustained bullish momentum may be required.

World Models Shift from Prediction to Planning: HWM and the Challenge of Long-Horizon Control

World models have evolved from focusing on representation learning and future prediction to addressing long-horizon planning challenges. While models like V-JEPA 2 demonstrate strong predictive capabilities using large-scale video pre-training, they struggle with multi-stage control tasks due to error accumulation and exponential growth in action search space. HWM (Hierarchical World Model) introduces a two-level planning structure: a high-level planner outlines coarse subgoals over longer time horizons, while a low-level executor handles short-term actions. This decomposition reduces planning complexity and error propagation. In experiments, HWM achieved 70% success in real-world robotic tasks where flat models failed entirely. Complementary efforts include V-JEPA (focused on representation), HWM (on hierarchical planning), and WAV (World Action Verifier, on self-correction). Together, they mark a shift from pure world modeling to integrated systems capable of prediction, planning, and verification—key to deploying world models in real-world agents and long-term tasks.

BIT Research: Five Signals Flash Simultaneously, Has the Bitcoin Bear Market Ended?

According to a BIT research report, multiple independent technical indicators are signaling that the Bitcoin bear market, which began in October 2025, may be nearing its end or has already concluded. Unlike the prolonged 2022 bear market, the current cycle shows structural changes due to the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs and reduced regulatory uncertainty, limiting excessive downside volatility. Key technical signals include: the weekly stochastic oscillator rising above 20 (historically a bottoming signal), price approaching the critical 21-week moving average (~$77,592), and the monthly RSI potentially moving above its average. Additionally, Bitcoin is testing the key resistance zone of $66,000–$73,000. A decisive break above $73,084 (the March 2024 high) would confirm a trend reversal. The convergence of these five signals—rather than any single indicator—increases confidence that the market is transitioning from a downtrend to a bottoming phase. The focus now shifts to whether price can sustain a breakout, potentially targeting $88,000 or higher, with $64,972 acting as crucial support. The report emphasizes that while trends are improving, investors should remain cautious and consult professionals, as digital asset trading carries significant risk.
