Abstract

The recent dispute between EvoMap and Hermes over alleged抄袭, similar to the Claude and OpenClaw case, highlights a growing trend in the Agent ecosystem. These conflicts arise from competition over user choice—specifically, which Agent users select for similar tasks—and the definition of original core competencies. Such public disagreements indicate that competition among Agents has intensified to the point where founders are losing their composure. Ultimately, users hold the decision-making power. This issue foreshadows a broader challenge: as Agents become more numerous and capable, how should individuals navigate this evolving landscape? This topic will be explored in-depth at the upcoming event.

You must have some understanding of the incident where EvoMap accused Hermes of plagiarism.

Just like Claude accusing OpenClaw of plagiarism, similar incidents are bound to become increasingly common.

Because fundamentally, it's about territory: which Agent users choose for similar tasks, or where the boundaries of original core competitiveness lie within Agents. This dispute illustrates one thing—the competition among Agents has become so real that it can make founders lose their composure. The choice rests in the hands of users.

This is also an issue we will all soon face: as Agents become more numerous and capable of handling many tasks, what should we do? This is precisely the question we will explore at our event.

Bitcoin Is Setting Up A Similar Structure To 2017 & 2021, What Happened Last Time?

Bitcoin's recent climb back above $80,000 is drawing comparisons to patterns seen in 2017 and 2021, according to analyst Merlijn The Trader. In those previous cycles, Bitcoin briefly broke below key support—a "fakeout" that stopped out traders—only to quickly recover and then rally to new all-time highs. The current structure suggests a similar scenario may be unfolding, where a sharp drop below support (potentially under $60,000) could shake out weak holders before a swift recovery. The $80,000 level is now a critical technical juncture. A sustained move above $82,000 would support the bullish case, while a break below $78,000 could signal a bearish shift. However, the analyst's overall outlook remains bullish, projecting that if Bitcoin follows the historical playbook, this setup could eventually lead to a parabolic move toward a new peak above $242,000. As of now, Bitcoin is trading around $80,790.

How the $900 Billion Anthropic Was Built?

Anthropic, the AI startup behind Claude, is reportedly in early talks to raise at least $30 billion in new funding, targeting a valuation exceeding $900 billion. This would propel it past OpenAI's recent $852 billion valuation. The funding round is expected to close by late May 2026. The company's valuation surge is driven by extraordinary revenue growth, reportedly reaching an annualized $30 billion by March 2026 from $1 billion in December 2024. However, OpenAI questions this figure, suggesting a net revenue closer to $22 billion after cloud platform fees. Despite high revenue, Anthropic's gross margin is reportedly around 40%, and it is not yet profitable, with breakeven projected for 2028. A significant portion of the new capital would fund massive, pre-committed computing infrastructure with partners like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. This highlights a new AI financing model where high valuations fuel compute spending, which in turn requires even higher future valuations to sustain. Notably, many early-stage investors are reportedly sitting out this round. Bankers privately estimate a potential IPO valuation between $400-500 billion, creating a rare scenario where the final private funding round valuation ($900B+) could far exceed the expected public market debut. Anthropic is targeting an IPO between October 2026 and the first half of 2027. Its public listing is poised to be a critical test for the entire AI sector's valuation logic, potentially validating or challenging the high-stakes "valuation-compute-valuation" cycle that has defined private market investments.

UBS Enters the Fray, 20 Swiss Banks Now Offer Crypto Trading, Covering 2.5 Million Accounts

Global wealth management giant UBS has entered the cryptocurrency market, offering Bitcoin and Ethereum trading to select private banking clients in Switzerland as of January 2026. This move is part of a broader trend in Switzerland, where approximately 20 banks now provide crypto services, collectively covering over 2.5 million accounts. Client data from Zurich Cantonal Bank (ZKB) challenges the stereotype of crypto being solely for the young, revealing that the average buyer is aged 30-50 and predominantly male. Notably, over 40% of these clients previously held no investment portfolio, indicating crypto is activating dormant capital. The business case is proving substantial. For several Swiss banks, crypto-related activities already contribute a significant and disproportionate share of profits, with unit economics often outperforming traditional banking services. This institutional adoption in Switzerland reflects a global trend, with a recent survey showing 73% of institutional investors planning to increase crypto allocations in 2026. Switzerland's early regulatory clarity through its DLT Act and established custody infrastructure have provided a foundation for this growth. However, upcoming challenges include the implementation of the OECD's Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) in 2027 and ongoing reforms by Swiss regulator FINMA. The final shape of these regulations will be crucial in determining whether Switzerland can maintain its leading position in the global banking crypto sector.

Circle Releases Arc Network Whitepaper: Can the New Economic Mechanism Drive It to Become the "Clearing Coordination Layer" for Institutional-Grade Stablecoin Payments?

Circle has released the whitepaper for its Arc Network, detailing plans for a new economic coordination layer using the proposed ARC token. Arc is a Layer 1 blockchain designed for enterprise-level stablecoin payments, featuring USDC as its native gas token, a high-performance consensus mechanism for instant transaction finality, and optional enterprise privacy features. Currently operating on a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) model, the network plans a future transition to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system. The ARC token is intended to serve as the network's native coordination asset, facilitating governance, enabling staking rewards, and managing fee mechanisms. User fees paid in stablecoins would be converted to ARC, with portions distributed as rewards and burned. The governance model will blend token-based voting with institutional oversight, especially for high-sensitivity matters like security and compliance. While positioning Arc as a potential settlement layer for institutional stablecoin payments, the whitepaper acknowledges challenges. These include the network's current centralization, the unfinished and potentially volatile ARC token economics, and the evolving global regulatory landscape for stablecoins. The development signals a broader industry trend where Web3 infrastructure competition is shifting from pure performance to factors like liquidity, compliance, and institutional-grade stability.

An 18-Year-Old Hacker Brags on Discord, Accidentally Reveals a $19 Million Theft Case

An 18-year-old American hacker, Dritan Kapllani Jr., has been exposed by on-chain investigator ZachXBT for allegedly masterminding a series of social engineering attacks that stole approximately $19 million from crypto users. The investigation began after a Discord voice call on April 23, 2026, where Dritan shared his screen to boast, revealing an Exodus wallet holding around $3.68 million. Tracing this address, ZachXBT linked it to a major March 14, 2026 theft of 185 BTC (worth ~$13 million at the time), with about $5.3 million of that sum funneled into Dritan's wallet. Further analysis revealed the wallet also contained over $5.85 million from multiple social engineering thefts dating back to 2025. In a May 11, 2026 unsealed criminal complaint against another individual, Trenton Johnson, a key co-conspirator marked "CC-1" is identified, with the on-chain community pointing to Dritan. While not formally charged yet, he is now named in the judicial narrative. Another individual, Meme coin KOL yelotree, faces charges for allegedly assisting in money laundering. Dritan, known for a lavish lifestyle on social media, was previously seen as having a "protagonist aura" within hacking circles, evading consequences as associates were apprehended. However, now that he has turned 18, he is facing legal accountability for his past actions.
