Özet

In sharp contrast to the low price of BTC, the trading leverage ratio of investors has soared sharply.

1. BTC trading leverage soared

In sharp contrast to the low price of BTC, the trading leverage ratio of investors has soared sharply. Even though it reached 0.258 on April 25, the numerical growth trend still shows no sign of ending. In absolute terms, the leverage ratio is not enough to improve the risk level. However, the leverage ratio reflects the leverage performance of the overall market, which is significantly higher than 0.11 before the sharp decline in March 2020. Then the problem comes. If BTC continues to withdraw, airdrop may gain greater benefits.

2. Multiple orders and a large number of positions burst in the whole network

The number of multiple single positions is not only larger than that of empty single positions, but also its growth rate is faster. From April 25, when more than $190 million was sold out, the scale of empty single position was only $18 million, and the scale of long position was 10 times that of short position. It can be seen that at present, the bulls are the only loser from the position explosion growth driven by the price decline. Investors who continue to short may expand their profit scale if they are not forced to close their positions during the price shock.

3. BTC may drop to the new area

In the weekly K-line chart of BTC, the price may reach a new range in the short term. That is, the 28307 corresponding to 61.8% of Fibonacci is less than the 36077 corresponding to 50% of Fibonacci. From the point of view, BTC is very close to this interval. Although BTC did not fall below this range during the price adjustment in 2021, it does not mean that the support of this range must be effective. The current trading downturn is more severe than that in 2021, so the predicted possible reversal point is lower.

4. Cold wallet BTC outflow trend continues

According to the data from the cold wallet, the number of BTCs in the largest exchange cold wallet address fell from 29943 to 252600 at present, and its downward trend continued. The decrease in the number of cold wallet BTCs indicates that the number of investors participating in the transaction has increased. It has to be said that this is a typical trading signal. Cold wallet BTC is more likely to flow into the exchange, and the selling pressure will prolong the cycle of price adjustment.

Historically, the number of cold wallet BTCs with the address of 34xp4vrocgjym3xr7ycvpfhocnxv4twseo has increased from almost zero in early 2020 to nearly 300000 in mid-2021. During this period, the upward trend of BTC price has generally continued. At present, there are signs of reversal, which is worthy of attention.

Anthropic's IPO Launch: Commercial Miracle or Valuation Bubble?

Anthropic has confidentially filed for an IPO, led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, potentially going public by October. Following its latest $650 billion funding round, its pre-IPO valuation stands at $965 billion, with projections reaching up to $2 trillion at listing, which would make it the highest-valued private company ever. The article, written by Fu Sheng, addresses skepticism that this represents an AI bubble akin to the 2000 dot-com crash. It argues the current situation differs fundamentally. Unlike the internet bubble era, which relied on speculative narratives with little revenue, Anthropic's valuation is backed by unprecedented, measurable financial performance. Key data points include: * **Revenue Growth:** ARR skyrocketed from $10 billion in early 2025 to $470 billion by May 2026, targeting $100 billion by year-end—a growth curve unmatched in business history. * **Profitability:** It achieved operating profitability in Q2 2026 with an estimated $5.6 billion profit. * **Efficiency:** With ~3,000 employees and ~$470 billion ARR, its revenue per employee exceeds $10 million. Products like Claude Code, launched less than a year ago, already generate $25 billion in annualized revenue. * **Enterprise Adoption:** It boasts a strong enterprise client base, with 8 of the Fortune 10 and over 1,000 large firms spending over $1 million annually on Claude. The valuation is framed using a traditional SaaS model (e.g., a 10x Price-to-Sales multiple on $100 billion revenue). The author contends the core question for analysts has shifted from "How big could this be?" to "How much is it earning and will earn next quarter?" The discussion extends beyond Anthropic to a broader paradigm shift: the transition from a "carbon-based" to a "silicon-based" economy. Companies are increasingly prioritizing investment in compute and AI capabilities over human resources, as these directly scale productivity and competitive advantage. Anthropic's IPO is thus positioned not just as a corporate milestone, but as a price anchor for this new economic era.

Near Returns to the AI Stage: Transformation into a Public Chain Due to 'Payroll Difficulties,' Agent and Privacy Emerge as New Growth Narratives

NEAR Returns to AI Origins: From Payroll Struggles to Blockchain, Now Focusing on AI Agents and Privacy NEAR Protocol's journey began not with grand blockchain ambitions, but from a practical hurdle: its AI startup founders, including Transformer paper co-author Illia Polosukhin, couldn't efficiently pay international developers in 2017. This led them to pivot and build a high-performance, scalable blockchain. After years navigating various crypto narratives like sharding and cross-chain interoperability, NEAR is now leveraging its AI roots to re-enter the AI arena. A key driver is its "NEAR Intents" layer, which abstracts complex cross-chain transactions. Users simply state their goal (e.g., swap BTC for ETH), and a solver network finds the optimal route. This system has processed over $20B in cross-chain volume, generating significant fee revenue. A major growth area is private transactions via "Confidential Intents/Swaps," which hide trade details until settlement to protect against MEV and front-running. Remarkably, private swaps recently accounted for over 40% of NEAR's transaction volume, highlighting strong demand but also potential regulatory scrutiny. With its AI-founder pedigree, NEAR is positioning itself at the intersection of blockchain, AI agents, and privacy, aiming to become infrastructure for the emerging agent economy while navigating the challenges of its rapid adoption.

From Ethereum to AI's 'CROPS': What Exactly is This Set of 'Slow Variables' That Vitalik Repeatedly Emphasizes?

In recent discussions, Vitalik Buterin has frequently emphasized the concept of "CROPS," a framework defining core values for Ethereum's development. CROPS stands for Censorship Resistance, Capture Resistance, Open Source, Privacy, and Security. Initially outlined in the Ethereum Foundation's "EF Mandate," it represents a commitment to user sovereignty, ensuring that the network resists external control, remains open, protects privacy, and prioritizes security. The relevance of CROPS extends beyond Ethereum's foundational principles, becoming crucial in the context of AI integration. As AI agents begin handling wallet operations and automated transactions, the risk increases that users may cede control over their digital assets, privacy, and intentions to centralized AI service providers. A "CROPS AI" would therefore emphasize local execution where possible, privacy-preserving remote model calls (e.g., using zero-knowledge proofs), and transparent, verifiable processes to maintain user agency. Vitalik highlights a significant convergence between "CROPS Ethereum access layer" and "CROPS AI." Both address the same fundamental challenge: how users can access powerful services—be it blockchain data via RPCs or AI models—without exposing sensitive information or relinquishing ultimate control. This intersection points toward a future digital entry point that is more private, secure, and user-controlled. Ultimately, CROPS is not merely an abstract ideal but a practical guidepost. It steers development—from protocol resilience and wallet design to AI agent safety—towards a future where users retain self-sovereignty even as digital systems grow more complex and powerful. In an era of accelerating AI adoption, these "slow variables" of censorship resistance, openness, privacy, and security may define Ethereum's enduring value.
