BASED: Hyperliquid’s On-Chain Super App

Publicly traded Bitcoin mining firm Cango (NYSE: CANG) has joined the list of major players using their BTC holdings to manage debt and pivot to AI investments.

On Wednesday, the firm announced that it sold 2000 BTC in March, calling it a “strategic de-leveraging” to retire its BTC-backed loans.

The firm added that it raised $75 million and that some of the proceeds from the “strategic de-leveraging” will help drive its diversification.

This de-leveraging, combined with recent capital infusions, strengthens Cango’s balance sheet to support its planned transition into energy and AI infrastructure.

Bitcoin hashrate drops as Cango, other miners pivot to AI
Now, the firm holds 1,025.69 BTC. Interestingly, Cango said that its aggressive lean operations have helped reduce its BTC production costs by 19% in Q1. For perspective, in Q4 2025, its cost of production for 1 unit of BTC was $84.5K. By March 2026, this dropped to $68.2K.

While this is a great improvement, the miner would still be in distress if BTC’s price falls below $68K. In such a scenario, it could be forced to liquidate more of its BTC holdings to stay afloat.

From this backdrop, the growing trend of public miners rushing to AI infrastructure ventures to maximize their compute power for extra revenues makes sense.

Cango now joins the growing list of public miners pivoting to AI, including MARA, Bit Digital, Core Scientific, IREN, Bitfarms, TerraWulf, and Cipher Mining.

With some dedicating part of their BTC energy and computing power to AI, BTC’s global hashrate has declined too. In fact, according to Glassnode, the global hashrate declined from a record high of 1.115 Zetahash/s to 950 Exahashes/s – A 17.4% fall in BTC overall computational power.

The dropping hashrate is an opportunity and risk at the same time. The decreasing hashrate and AI pivots imply that the overall Bitcoin network security has been

After nearly six weeks of sudden shocks during the US-Iran conflict, gold finally returned above $4800 after almost a month, following news of a ceasefire agreement.


From mentioning the gold token XAUm as early as October 2024, to accurately predicting a rise to over $3900 when spot gold was at $3500 last September, and then mentioning the gold token XAUT when gold reached around $4500 this January, I myself have started a dollar-cost averaging strategy while following gold.


On the other hand, on the macro level, against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical conflicts, central banks around the world continue to increase their gold holdings, with the People's Bank of China making large-scale purchases for 17 consecutive months; major investment institutions and banks are also very confident in the upward trend of gold prices.


 In light of this, this article from Odaily Planet Daily will explore the following question from the perspectives of recent industry trends and changes in the political and economic situation: What is the upper limit for gold this year?


Gold Price Trends in the Past Six Months

Market Prediction Views on Gold Price Fluctuations: Prices may fall below $4,200 before June, with a potential high of over $6,000 this year.

Since the emergence of prediction markets, thanks to the combined influence of real money betting and "collective wisdom," they have become an important indicator for predicting asset prices. Currently, Polymarket predicts a gold price range of around $3,800-$6,000 this year.

Polymarket's mid-year gold price predictions currently have over $3.5 million in bets, with the following probabilities:

The highest probability is below $4,200 (40%);

The second highest probability is above $5,500 (28%);

Following these are above $5,700 (probabili

Sentiment in the Bitcoin (BTC) market appears to have shifted after a prolonged period of stagnation, suggesting investors are preparing for a potential surge to $80,000.

On Deribit, a platform that accounts for the vast majority of the multi-billion dollar cryptocurrency options market globally, $80,000 call options (derivatives betting on a price increase above that level) have become the most actively traded. This has surpassed the $60,000 put options that dominated during the recent price declines.

As of press time, according to Deribit data, open interest in $80,000 put options exceeds $1.6 billion, with each contract representing one Bitcoin. Open interest in $60,000 put options is $1.41 billion.

Bitcoin prices have rebounded from lows near $67,000 earlier this week to above $70,000, partly due to pressure on oil prices from the temporary ceasefire between the US and Iran. Analysts say continued weakness in oil prices could help alleviate inflation concerns, potentially strengthening the case for a Federal Reserve rate cut—a backdrop that often supports risk assets, including Bitcoin.  On-chain data provides some additional support for the bullish view.

Furthermore, analysts at 21Shares believe the stock has further upside potential, potentially reaching $100,000 by the end of June under favorable conditions.

However, risks remain. The ceasefire agreement is fragile, and any renewed escalation could push up oil prices, thereby dampening market risk appetite and limiting Bitcoin's gains.

Later today, the US will release its Q4 GDP data. While this historically relevant data may not have an immediate impact, any major surprise, good or bad, could trigger short-term market volatility. Stay alert!

The mystery surrounding Bitcoin’s creator, known as Satoshi Nakamoto, has once again gained attention. Recent investigations suggest that the identity behind this pseudonym may finally be uncovered after many years.

Researchers have analyzed thousands of documents, emails, and writing patterns to identify potential candidates. While strong evidence points toward a specific individual, there is still no definitive proof confirming the identity.

This mystery has been a significant part of Bitcoin’s history, contributing to its unique appeal. The anonymity of its creator has allowed the network to remain decentralized and free from centralized control.

Even if the identity is revealed in the future, it is unlikely to impact Bitcoin’s functionality or value. The network operates independently, and its success depends on its technology and user adoption rather than its creator.

Crypto detective ZachXBT uncovered an internal North Korean payment server tied to 390+ accounts, chat logs, and transaction histories.

The DPRK Crypto-Infiltration Saga, Part III (From This Week Only)

The North Korean secret crypto-agents saga continues. The hidden network of North Korea-aligned crypto hackers have been slowly exposed on the social network X these past days, following the attribution of the April 1st $285 million attack on Drift Protocol to UNC4736, a North Korea-aligned, state-sponsored hacking group.

On Sunday, security researcher Taylor Monahan claimed that North Korean IT workers have quietly worked inside more than 40 DeFi projects over roughly seven years. Also on Sunday and Monday, multiple crypto industry actors shared videos and stories of North Korean IT workers failing the "Kim Jong-Un Test"!

Now, it was ZachXBT turn to publish his findings, which he did yesterday on a thread on the social network X. The exfiltrated data, that hadn't been publicly released before, was shared with him by an anonymous source.

The extraction of the data was possible because one of this IT workers workers from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) had his device infected with an infostealer (malware designed specifically to steal sensitive information). The malware exposed IPMsg chat logs, fabricated identities, and detailed browser activity

Ethereum network upgrades continue to play a vital role in improving performance and scalability. Developers are actively working on solutions to reduce transaction fees and increase processing speed, making the network more efficient for users.

These upgrades are essential as Ethereum faces increasing demand from decentralized applications and users worldwide. High gas fees have been a major concern in the past, but ongoing improvements aim to address this issue.

The success of these upgrades can significantly impact Ethereum’s price and adoption. A more scalable and cost-effective network will attract more users and developers, increasing overall activity.

However, implementing these changes is a complex process and requires careful planning. Any delays or technical issues can affect market sentiment and lead to short-term price fluctuations.

Despite these challenges, Ethereum’s commitment to continuous improvement highlights its long-term vision. The network’s ability to adapt and evolve will be crucial for maintaining its leadership position in the blockchain space.
