In a notable market shift, whales have lost significant capital on Trump family-backed World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token as its price plunged dramatically. Since its launch price, the token has lost more than 40% of its value, costing investors millions who got caught up in the fear of missing out (FOMO) on early hype.

Blockchain data tracker firm, Onchain Lens, noted that an investor took a loss of $1.635 million while going long on WLFI perpetuals, trying to catch profits on upside potential of the token.

This whale has fully closed its $WLFI long position, booked a loss of $1.635M.

The trader previously made a profit of $915,000 on a WLFI long trade but took the loss after reentering the market because of FOMO.

Another leveraged long trader lost $2.2 million on Hyperliquid, while a short seller made $1.8 million in profits. Besides perpetuals, a spot trader purchased $2 million worth of WLFI at $0.27, resulting in a loss of over $650,000. These outcomes stress that bets based on early hype don’t pay off very often when the fundamentals are weak.

The market barely noticed the 47 million token burn that was meant to support the price upside. Instead, WLFI experienced an additional 18% decline the very next day, resulting in a price drop to approximately $0.23.

At the time of writing, the price of WlFI is $0.1784, which is lower by 19.37% compared to yesterday, with a total volume of $1.71 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Apple and the Power Rebalancing with 'The Microns': Dissecting the Profit Ledger Behind the iPhone

The article analyzes the shifting profit dynamics and power balance between Apple and memory suppliers like Micron within the iPhone supply chain. It highlights a social media post criticizing Apple for raising iPhone prices while blaming memory chip cost increases, despite historically paying suppliers like Micron very little. An estimated iPhone 18 cost breakdown is referenced. Historically, memory was a minor cost component. In 2017's iPhone X, memory accounted for only about 1.6-2.3% of the price, with Apple capturing nearly 50% net profit. Over time, memory's share of the Bill-of-Materials (BOM) cost has grown significantly, reaching an estimated 12-15% for the iPhone 17 series. The core driver of this change is soaring demand for memory from the AI industry, particularly for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and AI servers, which is diverting production capacity and squeezing supply for consumer electronics. Memory manufacturers, after enduring periods of low profits, now hold greater pricing power. This is reflected in their recent strong financials, like Micron's 84.6% gross margin. Apple CEO Tim Cook initially described the memory price pressure as unprecedented in his 40-year career, later calling it a "once-in-a-century flood," before Apple announced price hikes across several product lines, causing a significant stock drop. Elon Musk echoed Cook's sentiment about the dramatic cost surge. The article concludes that the era of memory suppliers being at the mercy of Apple's pricing power has temporarily reversed, thanks to AI-driven demand. It notes Apple is reportedly seeking to diversify its supply chain, including exploring chips from China's CXMT.

Can BTC whales save Bitcoin after $4.06B ETF outflows?

Institutional demand for Bitcoin shows signs of weakening, with U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs experiencing seven consecutive days of net outflows, totaling roughly $4.06 billion in monthly outflows and reducing total ETF assets to $72.82 billion. This decline removes a key source of structural spot buying. However, large Bitcoin holders (whales) have shown increased accumulation activity as prices dipped below $60,000, with a significant spike in high-value transactions, suggesting they view the correction as a buying opportunity. This whale demand could help cushion near-term selling pressure. Conversely, Long-Term Holders are showing signs of capitulation, with metrics indicating realized losses and eroding conviction, which may eventually reduce future selling pressure. For a sustained recovery, broader spot market participation remains essential.

Conversation with the Founder of 42 Macro: The Fed's 'Boiling the Frog Slowly' and the K-Shaped Economy

In a conversation with Anthony Pompliano, Darius Dale, founder of 42 Macro, discusses the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and the K-shaped U.S. economy. Dale characterizes new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as a "dove in hawk's clothing," expecting the Fed to signal or enact policy tightening in the coming quarters to create room for later easing. He argues current economic signals, including high deficit spending, debt monetization, and credit growth, strongly indicate inflation is not on a credible path back to 2%, forcing the Fed to act. The discussion highlights the stark "K-shaped" economic reality. While top earners, buoyed by massive cash savings (up ~$8 trillion since pre-pandemic), continue robust spending, those at the bottom face severe financial strain, with delinquency rates on consumer loans reaching crisis-era highs. Dale attributes much of the current social and political anxiety to this divergence, driven by the "Cantillon effects" of monetary expansion, which disproportionately benefits asset owners. He emphasizes that in this environment of "financial repression," individuals must participate in asset markets to avoid being left behind. On equities, Dale notes a rotation from the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants into broader AI-exposed companies, while warning that the tech giants' massive capital expenditure cycles could eventually puncture over-optimistic cash flow projections. Dale concludes by stressing that the core desire across all economic strata is simply the dignity to provide for one's family, a goal currently undermined by systemic policies that act as a "wealth siphon" from the bottom to the top.

The Eight Fathers of Transformer: Where Are They Now?

The founding authors of the seminal 2017 paper "Attention Is All You Need," which introduced the Transformer architecture, have all departed from Google and are now pioneering diverse ventures across the AI landscape. Their current paths highlight the field's evolution and fragmentation. Ashish Vaswani co-founded Essential AI after a stint at Adept, but recent reports suggest he and his team are being recruited by Nvidia. Noam Shazeer left Google twice, first to found Character.AI—later acquired by Google—before recently joining OpenAI. Niki Parmar, after co-founding both Adept and Essential AI with Vaswani, is now at Anthropic. Jakob Uszkoreit is the CEO of Inceptive, applying AI to RNA and drug design. Llion Jones co-founded Sakana AI in Tokyo, exploring collective intelligence from smaller models. Aidan N. Gomez is the CEO of Cohere, focusing on enterprise AI solutions. Łukasz Kaiser remains in research at OpenAI, contributing to models like GPT-4 and o1. Illia Polosukhin co-founded the NEAR Protocol blockchain, positioning it for an AI-agent economy. Despite their divergent paths—spanning biotech, enterprise software, blockchain, and foundational research—a shared sentiment persists: the Transformer is not the final answer. Each founder continues to seek the next significant architectural breakthrough, driven by the same innovative spirit that created the modern AI era.

The Domestic Answer to Space Computing Power: Photonics Are More Efficient, Musk and Huang's Approaches Are Too Roundabout

The Space Computing Race: A Photonic Advantage The competition for space-based computing has intensified, with figures like Elon Musk and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang highlighting its potential. Musk predicts solar-powered AI satellites could offer the most cost-effective computing by 2032. However, space presents extreme challenges for traditional electronic chips: radiation from cosmic particles can cause errors, the vacuum environment hinders heat dissipation, and limited solar power constrains energy-hungry systems. Photonic computing, using light instead of electrons, offers a promising solution. Its core advantages for space are threefold: 1) **Radiation Resistance**: Photons are charge-neutral, making them inherently immune to particle interference. 2) **Low Heat Generation**: Light propagation in waveguides generates minimal heat, bypassing critical thermal management issues. 3) **Low Power Consumption**: Photonic chips have near-zero static power draw, aligning perfectly with the energy constraints of satellites. Furthermore, for a given payload weight and volume, photonic systems can potentially deliver higher total compute density. Since they require less bulky cooling and power infrastructure, more space can be allocated to the compute units themselves. While photonic computing holds great promise, current industry approaches face hurdles like the memory-compute bottleneck (separate storage and processing) and challenges in large-scale integration. Engineering for space—withstanding launch vibrations and validating full system operation in orbit—remains a critical step. The path forward resembles the evolution from single GPUs to computing clusters, but via a photonic route. As electronic chips approach physical limits in miniaturization, photonic computing and optical interconnects (光算光联) may provide a key alternative to bypass these constraints and define the next generation of space-based computing capabilities.
