Rhythm X Zhihu Hong Kong Event Skills Recruitment, Sign Up Now for a Chance to Showcase On-Site

Six months ago, "how to write good prompts" was the hottest topic in group chats. Now, that question is clearly outdated. It has been replaced by Skills. The shift was largely triggered by the emergence of OpenClaw, which brought the concept of AI agents into the mainstream. Unlike a smart search engine that answers questions in isolated interactions, an agent can plan, remember, and complete entire tasks autonomously, creating the novel feeling that it is genuinely working for you. This has led to the rise of Skills—specialized capabilities that equip agents to handle specific domains efficiently. Without Skills, an agent is like a smart but untrained newcomer; with them, it can execute complex, precision-sensitive workflows without constant guidance. Popular Skills currently spreading within communities focus on areas like workflow automation, domain-specific rule injection (e.g., for law, finance, or medicine), personalization, and even financial operations such as identifying arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket or executing quantitative trading strategies. This shifts the门槛 from requiring programming and financial expertise to simply installing a Skill. The underlying change is that people are starting to view agents as long-term collaborators, not just disposable tools. Now, with vibe coding, turning an idea into a functional Skill no longer requires a technical team, code, or infrastructure—it can be done over a weekend. The gap between a good idea and a working product has dramatically narrowed.

Jane Street's Three Sins: Insider Trading, Index Manipulation, and the Bitcoin 'Morning Massacre'

Jane Street, a highly profitable quantitative trading firm, faces serious allegations across multiple continents. In the U.S., Terraform Labs’ bankruptcy trustee has sued Jane Street, accusing it of insider trading related to the May 2022 collapse of Terra Luna. The suit claims Jane Street withdrew $85 million from a liquidity pool just minutes after Terraform secretly removed $150 million, allegedly using non-public information from a former intern. The action allegedly helped trigger a $40 billion crash. Simultaneously, in India, the Securities and Exchange Board (SEBI) has accused Jane Street of manipulating the Bank Nifty index through a “pump-and-dump” scheme over 18 expiration dates, resulting in alleged illegal profits of ~$580 million. Jane Street has been barred from Indian markets and is appealing. Additionally, Bitcoin traders had observed a pattern of sharp sell-offs at 10 AM ET—dubbed the "10 AM Crashes"—coinciding with U.S. market open, which many attributed to Jane Street’s trading activity. Notably, Jane Street is an authorized participant of BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, holding significant shares. After the Terra lawsuit was filed, the predictable sell-offs stopped, and Bitcoin saw a notable price rebound. The broader implication is the risk of market manipulation by privileged intermediaries within ETF structures—a problem Bitcoin was designed to overcome. If Jane Street halts its alleged manipulative strategies due to legal pressure, a major selling pressure on Bitcoin may be removed.

From Terra's Collapse to the "10 AM Strike": How Did Jane Street Play the Markets Across Two Continents?

The article details serious allegations against Jane Street Group, a major quantitative trading firm, for market manipulation across different continents. It is accused of using insider information to profit from the Terra Luna collapse in May 2022, allegedly triggering its $40 billion crash. Separately, Indian regulators charged Jane Street with a "pump and dump" scheme in derivatives markets, resulting in massive fines and a trading ban. The piece also connects Jane Street to a pattern in Bitcoin trading called the "10 AM hit," where consistent sell pressure occurred at U.S. market open, suppressing BTC prices for months. This pattern abruptly stopped after the Terra lawsuit became public, coinciding with a Bitcoin price surge. As an authorized participant for BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT), Jane Street held significant influence over BTC flows. The article suggests their trading activity—selling BTC while increasing exposure to Bitcoin-proxy stocks—may have manipulated markets. The case highlights structural vulnerabilities in ETF systems that privilege certain players, echoing past manipulation in traditional markets like gold. Bitcoin’s recent rebound may signal reduced manipulative pressure, underscoring the need for trustless systems.
