AI Hot Spots

1. OpenAI asks California and Delaware to investigate Musk

On April 7, OpenAI urged the attorneys general of California and Delaware to investigate Musk for possible “improper and anti-competitive behavior.”

2. In global compute capacity, the U.S. ranks first with a 37.4% market share

According to Bitcoin News, in global compute capacity, the U.S. ranks first with a 37.4% market share (about 375 EH/s). Russia ranks second with a 16.9% market share, and China follows with 12%. After Kyrgyzstan’s parliament approved transparent mining regulations in mid-2025, it achieved a year-over-year growth of 300% and a quarter-over-quarter growth of 167%. Paraguay’s compute capacity grew 54% year over year to reach 4.3% globally. Laos and Finland benefited respectively from cheap hydropower and favorable climate conditions, achieving 100% year-over-year growth.

3. Bitcoin miners in the cheap power domain gain a new competitor: Anthropic signs a Gigawatt compute deal

On April 7, Anthropic reached what it described as its largest-ever compute partnership to date with Google and Broadcom, securing gigawatt-scale next-generation TPU compute starting in 2027. Meanwhile, its annualized revenue has grown from $9 billion at the end of 2025 to $30 billion.
The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is becoming a direct competitor to Bitcoin mining for scarce energy resources—including grid access, land, cooling capacity, and cheap electricity. Today, AI is already one of the largest sources of new power demand in the U.S.
Amid pressures from rising costs and fluctuations in mining economics, large Bitcoin mining companies are increasingly shifting toward hosting AI workloads—positioning themselves as providers of power and data center infrastructure—while also balancing Bitcoin mining, rather than being a single-purpose mining company.

4. Former OpenAI employees launch a $100 million VC fund, Zero Shot, focusing on AI investing

On April 7, multiple former OpenAI employees jointly launched the venture capital fund Zero Shot, targeting a $100 million size. The first round has already raised about $20 million and completed several investments. The fund was launched by Evan Morikawa, Andrew Mayne, Shawn Jain, and others, with Kelly Kovacs and Brett Rounsaville also participating.
Investments include enterprise automation platform Worktrace AI and robotics company Foundry Robotics, among others. The team said it will focus on laying out AI directions with long-term potential, while taking a cautious stance toward some tracks, including areas such as the “vibecoding” platform and robot video data training.

DeFi Hot Spots

1. Crypto hedge fund Split Capital will be gradually shut down; founder switches to Plasma as an executive

Crypto hedge fund Split Capital announced it will gradually shut down. Its founder, Zaheer Ebtikar, has joined the stablecoin startup Plasma as Chief Strategy Officer, shifting toward the stablecoin track. Zaheer Ebtikar said that although the fund achieved returns of about 100% in 2024 and 20% in 2025, it believes the business model of crypto hedge funds is gradually becoming ineffective. With products such as Bitcoin spot ETFs being launched, institutional investors are more inclined to gain crypto asset exposure through traditional financial instruments, weakening hedge funds’ competitive advantage.

2. Aave founder responds to Chaos Labs exit: will maintain a two-layer risk management model; supports LlamaRisk taking over

Aave founder Stani Kulechov posted on X that Aave respects Chaos Labs’ decision to step down from its risk management role and thanks it for its contributions over the past several years. Aave protocol smart contracts, asset listings, and network deployment are not affected; the two sides will remain closely cooperative throughout the exit process.
Aave currently uses a two-layer economic risk management model, jointly handled by Chaos Labs and LlamaRisk. Given the size of the Aave protocol, it will continue to maintain the two-layer model going forward and additionally add a technical risk layer managed by Aave Labs. Aave Labs will work closely with LlamaRisk to ensure that risk coverage does not pause during the transition, and to support LlamaRisk in increasing its budget and team size.

All node operators must upgrade Bor to v2.7.0 (or upgrade Erigon to v3.5.0).

On April 7, Solana Foundation said it is rolling out a series of security hardening initiatives, including the STRIDE security assessment and monitoring system led by Asymmetric Research, as well as the SIRN response network for handling security incidents.
Among them, STRIDE will independently evaluate ecosystem protocols and provide continuous operational security (opsec) and proactive threat monitoring, along with formal verification support for projects with TVL above $100 million. SIRN is made up of multiple security organizations and research teams for coordinated real-time security incident response.
