Hoskinson hasn’t received invite to crypto summit.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said he wasn’t aware that US President Donald Trump would include the network’s native token, ADA, in his proposed crypto reserve until the day it was announced.

“We knew nothing about ADA being selected for the reserve. It was news to me,” Hoskinson said in a video on March 5. He added that he woke up on March 2 to 150 messages of congratulations but had “no idea what the heck was going on.”

“We never even knew about it, and nobody even talked to us about it,” he added, before saying that he tried hard to have these conversations before being told, “We’ll call you back” or “We’ll figure it out.”

Donald Trump proposed a US crypto reserve on March 2, stating that it would “obviously” contain Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), but caused a reaction from some in the industry for also including XRP (XRP), Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA).

ADA skyrocketed 76% in a few hours following the announcement, jumping from $0.647 to top out at $1.14 before dumping 30% over the following day.

The move caused quite a stir among some crypto executives and analysts, who derided the proposal for its inclusion of assets other than Bitcoin.

Hoskinson hasn’t received invite to crypto summit

Hoskinson also spoke about the White House crypto roundtable on March 7, claiming that neither he nor any Cardano representatives had received an invitation so far this week.
“I’m going to operate under the assumption that I have not been invited to go to this gathering,” he said before adding, “I don’t imagine much policy work will be done.”

He added that there is a lot of policy work and agencies to pass through before any decisions can be made or legislation can be passed, so while these summits are “important because they put a spotlight on the topic, real work does require many people from across the spectrum” to work together to get things done.

“It’s not helpful as an industry, though, to treat all this as some sort of popularity contest,” he said before adding:

“If you believe for a moment that your cryptocurrency is going to do well because somebody went to a ‘vanity fair,’ you’re a fool.”

Meanwhile, Fox Business correspondent Eleanor Terrett reported that Senator Tom Emmer and Representative Bryan Steil hosted a “Crypto Power Lunch” to discuss “digital asset policy initiatives and legislation” on March 5.

Attendees included representatives from crypto trade organizations, including the Digital Chamber and Blockchain Association, in addition to corporate representatives from Paradigm, Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase, Consensys and Anchorage Digital, she said.

Unitree Robotics' IPO Hearing Countdown! Dissecting the 'Ice and Fire' in the Prospectus of the 'First Humanoid Robot Stock'

Unitree Robotics, poised to become China's first publicly listed humanoid robot company, is set for its IPO review on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Its prospectus reveals a company undergoing a rapid transformation. Once primarily a quadruped robot (robodog) maker, humanoids now account for over half of its revenue as of 2025, with the company selling approximately 5,500 units in that year—reportedly the highest global volume. Current demand, however, is heavily concentrated in research and education (74% of humanoid sales), while commercial and consumer use is largely for promotional "display" purposes. Industrial applications remain limited (~9% of sales), though quadruped robots see more mature use in industrial inspections. A key strength is Unitree's vertically integrated model, self-designing and manufacturing critical components like motors and actuators. This has driven manufacturing costs down and pushed gross margins up to nearly 60%—exceptionally high for a hardware company. Financially, revenue surged 335% to about $252 million in 2025, with the company achieving profitability. Its IPO targets a valuation of $6-7 billion, planning to invest nearly half the raised capital into AI model development. This includes funding for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) and World Model + Action (WMA) models, highlighting its strategic focus on building a software "brain" to complement its hardware leadership and secure a long-term competitive edge. The prospectus showcases Unitree's manufacturing prowess and growth but also underscores the early, niche stage of widespread humanoid robot commercialization beyond academia and demonstration.

Tsinghua '00s Alumnus Wang Guan's New Work: Disrupting Transformer Pretraining Models with 1/900 Tokens, 1/432 Compute Power

Tsinghua alumnus Wang Guan's team proposes HRM-Text, a novel pre-training paradigm using a Hierarchical Recurrent Model to replace standard Transformers. With just 1B parameters and 40B unique tokens trained at a cost of ~$1500, HRM-Text achieves performance comparable to 2B-7B open-source models, using up to 900x fewer tokens and 432x less estimated compute. Key innovations include a dual-timescale recurrent architecture for greater effective depth, a task-completion objective training only on answer tokens with PrefixLM masking, and techniques like MagicNorm and Warmup Deep Credit Assignment for stability. Evaluations show strong results on benchmarks like MMLU (60.7%) and GSM8K (84.5%). The work highlights how architectural priors and targeted objectives can lower pre-training barriers, though limitations include knowledge-reasoning coupling, fixed compute per token, and scalability beyond 3B parameters.

IOSG: DeFi at Its Most Critical Moment, The Real Vulnerability Lies Not in the Code

In April 2026, a series of major DeFi exploits—targeting Drift Protocol ($285M), KelpDAO ($292M via bridge), and Wasabi Protocol ($4.5M)—revealed a fundamental security crisis. None involved smart contract code vulnerabilities. Instead, losses stemmed from compromised operational foundations: social engineering of multi-signature signers, a single-point-of-failure bridge validator, and stolen admin private keys. This month, where over $625M was stolen across ~30 incidents, marked the collapse of DeFi's core security premise: that rigorous code audits alone ensure safety. The real vulnerabilities lay in trusted operational components—admin keys, governance councils, and bridge configurations—areas audits typically ignore. The KelpDAO incident triggered an asymmetric domino effect: its $2.92B unsupported token mint caused ~$8.5B in outflows from Aave and a $13.2B total DeFi TVL drop in 48 hours, showcasing how one protocol's operational failure can cascade through composable systems. The article argues that most so-called "DeFi" is actually "OpenFi": permissionless and transparent on-chain, but critically reliant on trusted third parties for key operations. This inherent trade-off between decentralization and operational feasibility is often obscured by marketing. The industry's path forward requires honest disclosure of trust assumptions (like L2Beat's framework), treating operational security as a first-class discipline alongside code audits, and designing systems whose risks can be clearly assessed and insured. The April events were not a code security failure but a breakdown in the mental model surrounding it.

US Stock Market Signal Master Serenity: Leading Institutions in Low Position Building, Annual Return 3840%

Serenity, an anonymous online trading figure known as the "Stock Call King," has gained significant attention by reportedly achieving staggering annual returns of 3840% in 2026 and 2256% over two years. Operating primarily on social media platform X, he shares free investment insights focused on the AI and semiconductor supply chains. His core strategy, the "Chokepoint" investment theory, involves identifying small, critical "bottleneck" companies within the AI infrastructure that are essential yet undervalued before major institutional investment. Examples include his multi-year call on stock AXTI, which saw gains exceeding 10,000%. Despite his popularity, Serenity's true identity and the specific dollar amounts behind his percentage gains remain undisclosed, leading to some skepticism. Critics question if he manipulates low-market-cap stocks, while supporters see him as disrupting traditional finance by providing free, high-quality research. He advocates against paid communities and emphasizes that his goal is to empower retail investors with information before institutional players act. Whether Serenity represents a genuine market visionary or a sophisticated narrative-driven player remains an open question debated by his followers and observers.

The 'Stock Call King' Serenity: 3840% Annual Return, Beating Institutions to the Punch

This article profiles the mysterious stock trader and analyst known as Serenity, who has gained significant influence on social media platform X as a "stock call king." Serenity claims extraordinary annual returns of 3840% for the current year and 2256% over the past two years, primarily by focusing on overlooked companies within the AI and semiconductor supply chains. Operating anonymously, Serenity describes himself as a former Reddit WallStreetBets trader, an AI/semiconductor supply chain analyst, and a former AI research scientist. His core investment strategy, termed the "Chokepoint" theory, involves identifying small, critical bottleneck companies in the AI infrastructure ecosystem—such as those in photonics, substrates, and materials—that are essential yet undervalued. He argues these "invisible champions" become crucial as demand for AI hardware surges, creating significant investment opportunities before large institutions take notice. A frequently cited example is stock AXTI, which he has recommended for over two years and claims has yielded over 10,000% returns. The article notes that while Serenity's free, public posts on X have garnered a large following, his identity and exact portfolio size remain unverified, leading to some skepticism. Critics question if his reported returns are fabricated or if he might be manipulating prices of low-market-cap stocks. Serenity counters that he shares research freely to democratize information, allowing retail investors to benefit before institutional buy-ins, and that percentage returns are more meaningful than disclosing specific dollar amounts. Ultimately, the article presents Serenity as a polarizing figure—either a visionary analyst with a superior research framework or a potentially sophisticated market player. It concludes that the truth of his claims and legacy will only be determined by time.
