> From WorkBuddy to ByteDance, the AI gold-rush game through the eyes of an API intermediary operator
In 2026, the gold rush in AI infrastructure is spreading from the model layer all the way to “selling tokens.” On the one hand, the price war among large models is intensifying, with prices for one million tokens driven extremely low; on the other hand, OpenRouter has completed a funding round worth hundreds of millions of dollars, while cloud platforms such as AWS Bedrock have made intelligent routing a standard feature. The “intermediary” business (API routing and model distribution) is now in the spotlight. When anyone can set up a Router with one click, what is the real competitive advantage?
In this episode, 168X invited an AI Builder based in the Bay Area.

LG Electronics announced that it will launch a new-generation humanoid robot with bipedal walking capabilities in the first quarter of 2027, based on NVIDIA’s robotics platform and equipped with the Jetson Thor chip, and built on Isaac GR00T and Holoscan for Robotics.

According to Ai Yi’s monitoring, a BTC whale that has held for nearly three years appears to have begun selling. Eight hours ago, the whale deposited 158.7 BTC, worth approximately $10.01 million, to Coinbase through the address bc1q7…jvlgw.

我不是在押注一个更公平的世界。
I am not betting on a fairer world.
我在押注人性不会变：人会追随赢家、争夺早期机会、展示仓位，并用盈亏证明认知。
I am betting that human nature will not change: people will follow winners, compete for early opportunities, show their positions, and use profits and losses to prove their understanding.
过去，这些行为散落在 KOL 群聊、机器人捆绑、做市资金和不同交易终端里。Blink 真正值得我研究的，不是它喊出了“公平”，而是它有机会把这些已经存在的行为，压缩成一条可以验证、分发、收费并重复运转的产品链路。
In the past, these behaviors were scattered across KOL group chats, bot bundles, market-making funds, and different trading terminals. What makes Blink truly worth studying is not that it has shouted “fairness,” but that it may have the opportunity to compress these existing behaviors into a product pipeline that can be verified, distributed, monetized, and repeatedly operated.
先说清楚我的仓位，也说清楚我的偏见。
Let me first make my position clear, as well as my biases.

PANews August 14 news, according to Cointelegraph, asset management firm VanEck said Bitcoin is approaching the cycle bottom, which may mean investors should begin gradually rebuilding their positions.

PANews, August 14 — Nasdaq-listed company AVAX One reported second-quarter revenue of $2.8 million, up significantly from $500k in the same period last year, primarily driven by $2.1 million in AVAX token staking rewards and a small amount of BTC mining revenue. However, the company posted a net loss of $35.1 million ($4.41 per share), mainly due to unrealized non-cash losses on its digital assets, including 14.1 million AVAX tokens.

Equation News founder Vida said he sold one-third of his Bitcoin position at around $63k. He believes Bitcoin is still in a bull market, but the narrative has been replaced by AI, and no new narrative is likely to emerge over the next 1–2 years. The core narrative has shifted to replacing fiat currencies and hedging against fiat depreciation; the next bull market will require US Treasuries or the US dollar to run into trouble. He sees no such risks in the short term, and global assets will undergo repricing first. He expects to buy back this portion of his position at around $45,000–$55k within 1–3 years.

Geoff Kendrick, global head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered, said the $100 target price for UNI by the end of 2030, set in June, may be too low, as Uniswap is now funding buybacks with fees from Robinhood Chain and rapidly buying back and burning tokens. DefiLlama data shows average daily revenue of approximately $244k from 7/27 to 8/12, or about $89.1 million annualized, all of which was used to buy back and burn UNI. Robinhood Chain contributed approximately $925k over the past seven days, accounting for about 60% of total revenue. At the current price, the annualized burn amount is approximately 4% of the circulating supply, but this rate will be difficult to sustain over the long term.

Bitwise and Superstate announced a partnership to develop tokenized holdings for certain funds. Tokenization only changes the recordkeeping method; investors will still purchase through existing channels and enjoy the same rights. Shareholders may choose traditional recordkeeping or blockchain tokenization, with the latter maintained by the transfer agent and not transferable outside the system. Bitwise expects BSOL to become the first fund to offer a tokenized share option.

According to SoSoValue data, on August 13, the XRP spot ETF recorded a single-day net inflow of $2.2531 million, with Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP) being the sole source of the net inflow. Its historical total net inflow reached $512 million. As of press time, the total net asset value of the XRP spot ETF was $942 million, with a net asset ratio of 1.49%, and its cumulative historical net inflow had reached $1.51B.

PANews, August 14 — According to Lookonchain monitoring, Bitcoin short seller 0x66f8 closed its short position on 2,136 Bitcoin worth $136 million, making a profit of $1.65 million.

On-chain analysis shows that the whale/institution that unstaked 2.89M HYPE at the end of July transferred approximately 923.7k HYPE to Coinbase Prime and FalconX. Previously staked at an average price of $19.79, it has now transferred out approximately 923.7k HYPE, for a total profit of approximately $109 million. The address still holds approximately 969k HYPE, worth about $55.73 million.

At the end of 2024, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) estimated that global assets under management in tokenized funds had just exceeded $2 billion, making it still a relatively small experimental market; by May 2026, the category comprising tokenized Treasuries and money market funds alone had reached approximately $10 billion in total, with BUIDL, the tokenized fund under U.S. asset management giant BlackRock, accounting for around 40% of the share. Almost at the same time, Hong Kong changed tokenized funds from being “redeemable only” to being “tradable 7 × 24 hours,” while banks in Singapore began using tokenized money market fund units directly as credit collateral.
The real competition now is over who can make these digital units liquid—integrated by banks, used by trading platforms, and treated as collateral—turning them from an “on-chain product” into something institutional capital truly
