Early Investor of Unitree Bets on a Brain-Computer Interface Company

"Wabo Technologies, a brain-computer interface (BCI) startup, has secured new funding from Vertex Ventures (under Temasek), Hongtai Fund, Chengdu Future Industry Fund, and Huifengda Capital. Vertex Ventures is known for its early bet on Unitree Robotics. Inspired by the sci-fi film "Avatar," founder Zhang Xingzhi has pursued human-machine interaction for over a decade. He established Wabo in late 2025, coinciding with China's push for BCI as a future industry. Unlike companies focused solely on medical hardware, Wabo positions itself as a model company. Its core mission is to develop a "Human Neural Intent Model" that decodes EEG, EMG, and behavioral signals to understand a user's goals, confirmations, corrections, and stop intentions before physical action, translating them into standardized control signals for machines, robots, or smart devices. The young, full-stack team, backed by academic collaborators from Tianjin University and Fudan University, quickly attracted investors. The company had previously raised a seed round from Ceyuan Capital. Investors were impressed by Wabo's systematic capabilities in data collection, signal processing, and engineering, seeing potential beyond a single hardware product toward a reusable layer of human intent interpretation. Applications span medical rehabilitation, smart homes, embodied AI, and even space exploration, with Wabo partnering with Tianjin University on pioneering "space BCI" research. Wabo plans a dual-headquarters strategy, with Shanghai focusing on high-end R&D and model development, and Chengdu handling hardware, product development, and supply chain. The BCI sector in China is heating up, with over 30 financing deals in early 2026. Zhang believes future competition will center on who can build a sustainable data-model-scenario loop. He predicts industry consolidation within three years, with only companies that master this闭环 surviving. The vision from "Avatar" is inching closer to reality."

Has the Crypto Utopia Collapsed? The Industry Reaches an Inflection Point After the Frenzy Subsides

Has the crypto utopia collapsed? The industry is at an inflection point as the hype fades. The prevailing view is that crypto has become an outlet for excess liquidity, with many participants leaving as financial returns have fallen short of past-decade expectations. The 2021 boom has been revealed as an illusion, placing the industry in the "trough of disillusionment" on Gartner's Hype Cycle. This forces a return to first principles: re-evaluating token value, securing DeFi protocols, and finding real-world applications. The core failure is a repetitive cycle of reflexive speculation, driven by the premature liquidity of tokens. The industry's incentives prioritized short-term gains over genuine innovation. While curiosity drives invention, recent DeFi hacks signal a need for engineering and iteration, including token models. The culture is shifting; the industry is no longer in its early stages. Positioned at a turning point on the technology adoption curve, crypto faces the immense challenge of rebuilding finance from scratch, a process of inevitable iteration and failure. Regarding crypto VC, claims of its death are overstated. The exceptional returns of 2016-2021 were an anomaly. The initial crypto-anarchist ethos has largely been co-opted by Wall Street and regulators. The utopian vision is over; the industry is being assimilated into the existing system, becoming a business. Current viable project categories include stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenized assets/RWA, perpetual contracts, and AI/agent integration. Crypto is converging with fintech, far from the envisioned DeFi revolution, and must find killer apps within regulatory boundaries. A reconciliation is possible: cryptocurrency may change value storage and transfer in subtle, imperceptible ways that integrate into existing systems, rather than through revolutionary fanfare. True creativity often emerges from adversity. There remains much to build for those driven by genuine curiosity.

Why P2P and Exchangers Are Becoming Obsolete, and What Will Replace Them

Titled "Why P2P and Exchanges Are Becoming Obsolete, and What Will Replace Them," this article discusses the evolution of stablecoins, particularly USDT, from a trading tool to a global payment method. However, converting crypto back to fiat for daily expenses remains a challenge. The process of using P2P platforms or crypto exchanges has become increasingly risky and complex due to stricter banking anti-fraud measures, new legislation in Russia, and rampant fraud schemes like "triangles," where sellers can inadvertently receive stolen funds. The article highlights that while P2P was convenient, banks now scrutinize frequent peer-to-peer transfers, often freezing accounts. Exchanges also pose risks like unfavorable rates and unclear compliance. The market is therefore shifting towards integrated services that eliminate the manual conversion step. It cites OneSix as an example—a crypto wallet accessible via Telegram and web that embeds currency conversion directly into payment and withdrawal scenarios. Users can pay bills or send money as if using a bank app, with the crypto-to-fiat exchange happening seamlessly in the background. It also offers invoicing for freelancers and conducts AML checks, returning suspicious transactions instantly instead of freezing them. In conclusion, as crypto integrates into everyday finance, the demand for manual, risky exchange methods is declining. The future lies in unified platforms that combine storage, compliance, conversion, and payments into a single, secure user experience.

Claude Designer Lags Behind Engineers, Fires Back by Creating a Million-User Tool

The article tells the story of Nate Parrott, a designer at Anthropic who created Claude Design as a side project to keep pace with his engineering teammates. When Anthropic released Opus 4.5 in November 2025, the two engineers on Parrott's Claude Code team significantly increased their output using the new AI capabilities. Parrott, the sole designer, found himself struggling to match their speed, becoming a bottleneck in the workflow. To catch up, he began experimenting in his spare time. He initially tried prompting Claude to generate designs from text descriptions and screenshots, with limited success. His breakthrough came when he shifted focus from asking Claude to "design" to asking it to generate HTML. He realized HTML could be a rich visual canvas for creating everything from slides and interactive prototypes to full web pages. He built a simple interface with a chat panel on the left and a live HTML preview on the right. The key to making the output useful was incorporating Anthropic's brand system—fonts, colors, assets, and design principles—into the prompts. This ensured generated designs were immediately on-brand. He shared an internal prototype with his team, and other product designers quickly adopted it for creating clickable prototypes, a task traditionally requiring manually drawing every state. The project's "official" turning point came during an Anthropic Labs offsite, where Parrott noticed many attendees were using his tool to build presentation slides on the fly, sometimes right before their turn to speak. This organic adoption convinced the Labs team to formally staff the project, turning the side project into a real product. Claude Design is positioned as a "pre-production" tool for visual communication and exploration—handling slides, landing pages, PDFs, emails, and social media graphics. It integrates with tools like Canva, Adobe, and Vercel. Its core value is accelerating the early stages of design: exploring directions, building consensus, and establishing systems. For actual production code, Anthropic still recommends Claude Code. The story highlights how AI disrupts workflows unevenly and how individuals can respond by building new tools to create their own advantages. Parrott's tool, born from necessity, eventually gained over a million users in its first week.
