It finally feels like it's here. It seems that OpenAI's plan to announce its first consumer AI device in the second half of 2026 has been confirmed. Up until now, OpenAI has focused on software like ChatGPT, but now they are officially entering the hardware world.
Interestingly, Johnny Ive is involved in this project. It is reported that the former Apple chief designer is leading the effort, and that OpenAI acquired his startup io in 2025, which marked the start of the project. Hardware and industrial design experts are gathering to create a new category of AI computers.
In terms of specs, the

It seems that Meta's new AI model development is more difficult than initially expected. According to multiple sources familiar with the matter, based on reports from The New York Times, the company's next-generation "Frontier" AI, currently under development, has not achieved satisfactory results in tests involving reasoning, programming, and text generation. Compared to models from competitors like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, there is a clear performance gap.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated in July of last year that the new AI model would be released within about a year. However, inter

A wave of layoffs is spreading throughout the cryptocurrency industry. What becomes apparent from the recent shareholder letter released by Gemini is a quite serious situation. They plan to cut about 30% of their staff starting in early 2026, currently maintaining around 445 employees. The underlying reason is a significant loss of $585 million annually. Although they just went public on Nasdaq last September, their losses in the fourth quarter have swollen to $140.8 million. This is despite a 40% year-over-year increase in revenue to $60 million.
What’s interesting is that Gemini is trying to

MicroStrategy's fundraising strategy is quite interesting. Recently, they've issued multiple series of preferred stock, but this works very differently from regular shares.
In simple terms, preferred stock is like a hybrid product between bonds and equity. Investors receive regular dividends, but they don't have voting rights like common stock. In the event the company faces financial distress, their repayment priority is lower, and they are only paid after debts are settled and from remaining assets.
The clear reason for issuing these preferred stocks is strategic. They need funds to buy more

The forced liquidation of short positions has exceeded that of long positions for the first time in a month and a half.
While looking at Coinglass's data, I noticed that the total forced liquidation amount the day before was $98M, of which short positions accounted for $588.6 million.
In other words, there were quite a few stop-losses on short positions.
Such a situation is rare, and the last time this pattern occurred was on January 13, so it has been more than a month and a half.
I wonder if the market trend is changing, or if this is just a one-off movement; it's still hard to judge

The recent Bitcoin mining industry is going through a major turning point.
In the past, it was common for mining companies to simply hold onto BTC, but now almost everyone is shifting to AI infrastructure businesses.
The reason is simple. The mining profit margin, which was nearly 90% during the bullish market in 2021, has now almost zeroed out.
Electricity costs keep rising, competition is intensifying, and Bitcoin prices are stagnating.
In such an environment, surviving solely through mining is impossible.
Many miners have realized the value of their existing data centers.
By ins

The AHR999 index—which shows how undervalued Bitcoin is—has been drawing attention recently. The zone around 0.45 is considered a good time to buy, and it seems the current market is approaching that level. If the AHR999 index is below 0.45, it’s treated as a signal to actively add to positions; between 0.45 and 1.2, it’s considered the appropriate range for dollar-cost averaging. With the current BTC price around $77.9k, it could be worth watching how this index will trend. Many traders are paying attention to AHR999, so this level might become an important reference point.

Polkadot's milestone has been achieved. The implementation of the supply cap scheduled for March 14 has been completed, and the network has fully entered a new era.
Frankly, this is not just a technical upgrade but a fundamental shift in Polkadot's economic model as a whole. It transitions from a fixed issuance of 120 million DOT annually to a strict cap of 2.1 billion DOT.
How significant is this change? The market has already responded. Before implementation, there was a 28.6% increase, with traders beginning to price in a "scarcity premium." In future pds cycles, the annual issuance will be

Shiba Inu Coin (SHIB) has dropped again. I've been checking it over the past few days, and the persistent negative funding rate is concerning. I think it indicates that shorts are dominant in the derivatives market.
Currently, the price of Shiba Inu Coin is trading around $0.000005, with strong selling pressure in the short term. It's down about 1% over 24 hours, but looking at the 7-day view, it has turned positive, which is somewhat interesting. The market cap is around $3.6 billion, and trading volume in futures is active, suggesting speculative activity.
Technically, the downtrend continue

I recently took a fresh look at EOS, and it’s more than just a cryptocurrency; it’s a full-fledged blockchain platform. For those aiming to build DApps and smart contracts, I felt it’s a pretty practical option.
First, to explain how it works, EOS adopts a consensus mechanism called DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake). In simple terms, token holders elect block producers, and those producers run the network. This setup enables high throughput and quick finality.
The reason EOS is attracting attention is mainly because of its high scalability and low transaction fees. In fact, users don’t pay trans

The major blunder by Seoul Police has been exposed. It is reported that 22 Bitcoins (worth about 2 billion won at the time, now worth several million dollars) seized in May 2022 were stolen while under police custody. The fact that this went unnoticed for several years until a recent audit indicates that this is not just a simple theft, but a symbol of systemic vulnerabilities within law enforcement agencies.
These Bitcoins, confiscated during a criminal investigation at Gangnam Police Station in 2021, should have been securely stored as evidence, but in reality, they were completely ignored i

Over the past few months, a noticeable trend has emerged in the movement of large Ethereum wallets. An ETH founder apparently resumed activity after seven months and transferred about $157 million worth of 79,176 ETH to a major exchange. Every time such large transactions occur, the market reacts, but this timing feels somewhat questionable.
The reason is that, although ETH is trading around $2,300, it has been fluctuating around the $2,000 level. Analysts see the $1,850 to $1,900 range as the next support zone. It also seems that institutional investors are slowing their buying pace, with spo

Oh, by the way, last month Etherscan stopped supporting zksync Era. Does that mean the migration is completely finished? I think it must have been tough for developers, switching APIs and so on.
Right now, you have to use the native block explorer for zksync itself, but honestly, I was confused at first. But actually, zksync scan is faster and seems easier to see information on.
If anyone is still using the old tools, be careful. It might be time to fully migrate to the zksync ecosystem.

Bitcoin has risen 6% this week, reaching around $77,800, but is this truly a revival?
Certainly, it's been a while since the last high was broken, and it looks like a sign of Bitcoin revival, but market sentiment tells a different story.
The fear index is still stuck at 21 (extreme fear).
According to analysts, this rise is mainly driven by strategic buying support from institutional investors.
In other words, rather than retail demand returning, it feels like a temporary rebound using liquidity.
ETF inflows are also improving, but the depth of the recovery is shallow, and institutio

El Salvador’s Bitcoin holding strategy is facing a major test amid recent price fluctuations.
Reports say the value of assets worth more than 7,500 BTC held by the country has fallen by more than $300 million due to the recent decline. At its peak, El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings were worth about $800 million, but they have now dropped to roughly $495 million.
What’s interesting is that even in this situation, El Salvador is continuing to buy 1 BTC per day. In the past 7 days, it has added 8 BTC, suggesting it is treating the price drop as a buying opportunity. This clearly signals a bullish st

Recently, there has been a significant outflow of funds from digital asset investment products. Just last week, $288 million was withdrawn, marking five consecutive weeks of decline. In total, $4 billion has been drained, which I think is a pretty substantial movement.
Trading volume has also dropped to $17 billion, the lowest level since July 2025. Bitcoin-related products are particularly hard hit, with $215 million flowing out, making them the largest outflow. Interestingly, however, $5.5 million has flowed into short Bitcoin products, indicating some traders are betting on a decline.

Ray Dalio questions Bitcoin's status as "digital gold." In a recent podcast appearance, the renowned investor pointed out fundamental issues in the cryptocurrency market.
The core of Dalio's argument is that Bitcoin does not offer privacy protections like gold does. All transactions on the blockchain are traceable and highly transparent. He believes this significantly limits its function as digital gold.
Interestingly, he notes that this transparency issue is the biggest obstacle to adoption by central banks. Instead, central banks prefer assets that, like physical gold, leave no digital trace

Recently, interesting developments are happening in the hiring tech industry. It seems that a platform called Juicebox has raised $80 million in Series B funding. Its valuation has risen to $850 million.
This round was led by DST Global, with Sequoia Capital and Y Combinator also participating, so it's clear that this is a highly attention-grabbing deal. It shows how much investors are expecting from this platform.
What Juicebox is doing is trying to revolutionize the hiring process with AI. It covers various tasks related to recruitment, from candidate search, outreach management, to autonomo

The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is undergoing significant changes. Recently, Ripple's management has attracted attention for seeking a "sincere" dialogue with the banking sector regarding important legislation.
As background, the entire industry is eager for clearer regulations. In ongoing legislative negotiations, there are disagreements over the treatment of stablecoins, with particular opposition from the head of a major U.S. exchange regarding compensation-related provisions, highlighting deep divisions among stakeholders.
Ripple has indicated a focus on practical progress
