Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, believes the current state of the crypto market presents a major opportunity for investors. “I smell opportunity. There is a fascinating dichotomy in crypto right now between institutional and retail investors,” he stated earlier this week. While retail sentiment is at historic lows, institutions are aggressively investing in bitcoin, Hougan explained, emphasizing: Institutional sentiment towards crypto is the most bullish I’ve ever seen. He pointed to record inflows into bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and a dramatic shift in Washington’s stance toward crypto. “When investment professionals look at crypto today, they see this: Institutional capital is allocating to the space in record amounts via ETFs, and Washington has gone from being one of crypto’s biggest threats to one of its biggest champions,” the Bitwise executive detailed. With increasing demand and limited new supply, Hougan sees strong upward pressure on BTC prices. He opined: It doesn’t take a genius to think that, over time, this supply/demand dynamic will drive prices to new all-time highs. Despite bitcoin’s 95% rise over the past year, retail investors remain discouraged due to the underperformance of altcoins, Hougan described. He believes this negativity is misplaced, stating: “Things we only dreamed of a year ago—like nation-states adopting strategic bitcoin reserves—now seem somewhere between possible and imminent. And the biggest risks to crypto, like government bans or legal threats to software developers, are distant nightmares.” He argues that now is a prime moment to invest, stating: From a risk-adjusted perspective, it is arguably the best time in history to invest in crypto. While altcoins have struggled, he remains optimistic about their long-term potential, attributing past stagnation to regulatory uncertainty. “But long-term, I think the setup for altcoins is stronger than at any point in history,” the Bitwise investment chief said. Regulatory clarity and institutional acceptance are beginning to reshape the altcoin market. Hougan sees signs of progress in stablecoin growth and major firms embracing blockchain. “Today, the largest institutions in the world feel safe building on crypto, which will bring defi applications to the masses,” Hougan explained. He expects significant expansion in the altcoin sector soon. “In a year or two, my guess is that you’re not going to have to squint to see the transformation in altcoins; the impact will be self-evident. And overwhelming,” he stressed. Given the divergence in sentiment, Hougan sees an opportunity for those willing to look beyond short-term struggles. “Retail sentiment is bad in crypto right now, and to me, that signals opportunity,” he concluded. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

David Sacks, the White House’s crypto czar, provided an update on digital asset coordination in Washington via social media platform X on Feb. 14. He stated: The inter-agency Working Group on Digital Assets is working well together to implement the President’s agenda. Praising the efforts of Bo Hines, the executive director of the group, Sacks described: “Bo Hines is doing a fantastic job as Executive Director keeping everyone coordinated.” He added that “some important announcements are coming soon.” In December 2024, Trump appointed Hines as the executive director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, commonly referred to as the “Crypto Council.” This council is chaired by Sacks. Hines, a former Republican congressional candidate from North Carolina, is tasked with collaborating with Sacks to promote innovation and growth in the digital assets sector, ensuring industry leaders have the necessary resources to succeed. Sacks’ remarks were in response to a report by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, who examined concerns about the number of regulatory bodies involved in shaping crypto policy. Terrett noted that despite the presence of multiple entities—including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) crypto task force, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) pilot program, the Presidential Working Group, and the Bicameral Working Group for Digital Assets—collaboration has been effective. She reported: Surprisingly, there’s a lot of coordination happening. These groups are actually talking to and working with each other. Additionally, she revealed that Hines “recently met with the head of the SEC’s crypto task force Hester Peirce and Acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham.” Industry representatives, including those from the Blockchain Association and the Chamber of Digital Commerce, have also been involved in discussions covering various regulatory topics, such as staking within exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Some of these members will participate in a CEO forum at the CFTC to discuss “tokenized assets and how stablecoins can act as a form of collateral in futures markets.” Lawmakers have also emphasized the importance of collaboration. Citing Representatives French Hill and Bryan Steil, Terrett noted: House members of the Bicameral Working Group for Digital Assets are working ‘in lockstep’ with their Senate counterparts and the Presidential Working Group on crafting legislation. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Chaofan Shou,co-founder of Fuzzland: The market maker/creator of LIBRA is directly linked to Arunkumar Sugadevan and another Indian serial rugger. By tracking fund flow via temporal analysis, we find they are also insiders of MELANIA and ENRON, as well as the dev of OG FUN. He also said that the founder of one of the largest Solana protocols is going to jail.

Author: jk, Odaily Planet Daily This morning around 6 AM Beijing time, Argentine President Javier Milei posted a tweet on his official X account that shook the market: he announced the launch of the Meme coin Libra and revealed the related smart contract address. Once the news broke, the market reactions were very diverse, some people thought the Argentine president's account was hacked, while some Meme players rushed into the market (the old players have been sufficiently educated that authenticity doesn't matter). Previous reports indicated that the price of LIBRA briefly surpassed $7.8, with a total market cap reaching $3.5 billion at one point. Soon after, Milei's Instagram account also posted a screenshot of the same tweet, quickly dispelling the theory of hacking (as the likelihood of both Instagram and X accounts being hacked simultaneously is very low), further intensifying the market's attention on Milei's coin launch. However, the subsequent market trend slapped all investors in the face. Unlike the longer rising cycles of Trump Coin and Melania Coin, Libra followed the classic route of cutting leeks. After rising above $4, Libra began to plummet like a waterfall: it fell from $4 to around $2, then encountered a brief plateau around $1, finally dropping to about $0.16 now. It can be said that Libra is now completely done for. Subsequently, the president himself deleted that tweet and claimed he "didn't know much about the project." The trend of Libra, source: GeckoTerminal According to President Milei's tweet a few hours ago, the project associated with Libra (Project Viva La Libertad) mainly aims to promote the Argentine economy by funding small projects and local businesses, supporting those who seek to develop enterprises and contribute to the country's development. The project's website also indicates that any private enterprise in Argentina can apply for investment by filling out a form. At the bottom of the website, a small line states that the project is a private initiative, developed by Kip Protocol. Later, Kip Protocol also emphasized that the LIBRA token is part of the "Viva la Libertad" project, which is entirely operated by private enterprises, and that Argentine President Milei was not involved in its development. While investors were cut, it inevitably means that someone profited. Who are the ones profiting? Data points to the team behind it and early speculators. According to blockchain analysis platform LookOnChain, eight wallets associated with the LIBRA team have cumulatively cashed out 57.6 million USDC and 249,671 SOL (approximately $49.7 million) through liquidity addition, liquidity removal, and transaction fee collection, totaling $107 million. As for early speculators and insider trading, on-chain data analyst Yu Jin monitored that insiders of LIBRA profited at least $20.18 million. This address operated in the hours before the tweet was released, withdrawing USDC and SOL from CEXs like Binance, Bybit, and Kucoin to prepare funds; they bought in the first second after the Argentine president's tweet was posted; and sold off in batches after the market pushed LIBRA up. Among them, at least three addresses operated in unison. Thus, the anger of investors is currently mostly directed at Kip Protocol; it's no wonder they posted on the X platform stating, "Libra is a success." Tweet, source: Kip Protocol X It is still unclear whether the team behind Libra only refers to Kip Protocol. Meanwhile, some netizens have dug up that Kip Protocol may also have certain connections with Animoca, but Animoca immediately clarified that it has no relation to the issuance of Libra tokens. At the same time, some community members pointed out that a significant number of investors rushed in initially because the token address for Libra could be searched on Moonshot. However, this was actually a misunderstanding; unlike Trump, which was officially certified and could be searched and purchased, the LIBRA token was not officially certified by the Moonshot platform but was displayed using the platform's latest "token registration feature." The Moonshot platform allows users to search for projects via contract addresses but does not verify them, and it has a risk warning on the page. If one only searches for the name Libra, it cannot be found. Additionally, against the backdrop of severe market fluctuations, Solayer team member Chaofan Shou posted on the X platform that he and team engineer @tonykebot lost over $2 million in LIBRA trading, along with a list of core members of KIP Protocol, hinting that action might be taken. Shou also captioned: "Let's see what two hackers and a free weekend can bring us."

According to Friday’s announcement, the KAITO token will serve as the foundational currency for Kaito’s information finance ecosystem, which seeks to address inefficiencies and inequities in how attention is monetized across digital platforms. By leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and decentralized market mechanisms, the project aims to shift value distribution from centralized platforms to creators, users, and brands. Current attention economies often prioritize platform profits over fair compensation, the white paper argues. Social media algorithms create echo chambers, while creators receive minimal revenue shares and users are unpaid for their engagement. Kaito claims its protocol, Yaps—launched in December 2024—has already enabled projects to tokenize attention for rewards and Social finance applications. Information finance, a concept cited by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, uses market forces to allocate attention transparently. KAITO’s AI algorithms tokenize hard-to-measure engagement metrics, such as brand sentiment or niche topic popularity, creating tradable assets. This approach aims to replace opaque platform algorithms with decentralized decision-making, letting markets determine content value. KAITO fulfills three core roles: incentivizing market participation via token rewards, acting as the network’s primary currency, and enabling community governance. Holders can vote on protocol upgrades, ensuring alignment with user interests. The system also tackles the “long-tail problem” by using AI to analyze fragmented data, like shifts in NFT trends or brand perception over time. Kaito AI envisions Information finance progressing from disorganized data to AI-curated systems and finally to market-driven distribution. The white paper notes additional tokenomics details will follow. Naval Ravikant’s assertion that “attention is the currency of life” anchors Kaito’s thesis: in an era of AI-generated content overload, fairly valuing attention is both urgent and viable. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
