OpenClaw Bans Key Words Such As "Bitcoin" and "Crypto" Due to Token Controversy, Founder Distances Themselves from Crypto Community

3 hours ago

February 22, the open-source AI agent framework OpenClaw gained attention recently following a token-related incident. During its rebranding process, the project’s account was hijacked, letting scammers launch a fake Solana-based token named CLAWD. At one point, the token’s market cap surged to $16 million—only to plummet over 90% after the founder disavowed any connection to it. Founded by developer Peter Steinberger, OpenClaw was initially called “Clawdbot.” But it got a trademark warning for being too similar to Anthropic’s model name “Claude.” It was briefly rebranded to “Moltbot” before settling on OpenClaw. While transitioning from old GitHub and X accounts to new ones (before the handover finished), scammers seized the accounts and rolled out the CLAWD token, sparking speculative trading. Steinberger later said publicly he’d never issue a token, stressing any project selling coins under his name is a scam. After the incident, the official OpenClaw Discord server banned all mentions of keywords like “Bitcoin” and “crypto”—even in neutral technical talks. Some users were kicked out for referencing Bitcoin block heights for benchmarking. Steinberger now leads the personal agent department at OpenAI, while OpenClaw has become an independent open-source foundation. Despite ongoing controversies, the project’s community keeps growing—but the official stance is clear: stay away from the cryptocurrency space.

If Ethereum breaks $2100, mainstream CEX cumulative short liquidation pressure will reach $652 million

February 22 Coinglass data shows: Ethereum (ETH) breaking above $2,100 would trigger $652 million in cumulative short liquidations across major centralized exchanges (CEXs). Conversely, a drop below $1,900 would result in $506 million in cumulative long liquidations for the same platforms. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on these charts instead represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to neighboring clusters (i.e., "strength"). This means the charts illustrate how significantly a price will react at a specific level: higher "liquidation bars" indicate a more intense response due to a surge in liquidity.

XRP Records Largest Realized Loss Since November 2022, Weekly Realized Loss Reaches $1.93 Billion

On February 22nd, Santiment data shows XRP just logged its largest realized loss since November 2022—$1.93 billion in weekly realized losses—signaling a concentrated panic sell-off by holders. BlockBeats Note: A realized loss occurs when an investor sells an asset for less than their purchase price, locking in actual losses. Unrealized losses, by contrast, are paper losses that aren’t realized (since the asset hasn’t been sold) and aren’t counted in such data. On-chain data shows a sharp jump in realized losses typically signals many holders are selling at a loss—reflecting widespread stop-loss triggers or "surrender selling"—and often coincides with a notable drop in market sentiment.

February 22 — South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb’s market share remains under pressure following its “Bitcoin Mistaken Airdrop Incident.” As of last Friday, Bithumb accounted for 24.8% of trading volume across South Korea’s top five KRW-denominated exchanges—down sharply from ~30% at the start of the year. Industry data shows Upbit leads with 58.4% market share, followed by Coinone (13%), Korbit (3.5%), and Gopax (0.3%).

The day after the incident, Bithumb’s market share plunged from 31.5% (Jan 5) to just over 20%.
