Bank of America CEO joins ranks of banking executives warning about risks of Mythos AI

Bankless co-founder David Hoffman published an article stating that Bitcoin’s current trend faces two possible paths: sideways consolidation to bottom out, or one final round of panic selling. He opines that Bitcoin is more likely to enter a sideways grinding phase, with its bottom already largely formed.

As SpaceX’s share price has fallen back to near its IPO price, short sellers are rapidly increasing their bearish positions on the company. Data from S3 Partners shows that roughly 185 million SpaceX shares are currently sold short, accounting for about 29% of its publicly traded float, equivalent to around $25 billion in short positions. Three weeks ago, the estimated number of SpaceX shares sold short was just 40 million, making up 5% to 7% of its float. The stock has dropped roughly 20% cumulatively since July, and on Wednesday it briefly fell below its $135 IPO price for the first time. KeyBanc Capital Markets noted that when SpaceX went public, its publicly traded shares made up only 5% of its total share count of around 13 billion. The first batch of large-scale restricted shares is expected to unlock around the release of its second-quarter financial results, at which point roughly 11% of the total share base will become eligible for sale; multiple subsequent batches of restricted shares, each accounting for about 4% of total shares, will also be unlocked starting about 70 days after the IPO. Elon Musk’s roughly 42% stake in SpaceX remains locked until June 2027. The company’s 13th Starship test flight is scheduled for Thursday, which could impact market sentiment toward the stock.

Renowned crypto KOL Ansem has published an article arguing that token buybacks alone do not effectively support valuation. Hyperliquid generates ~$800 million in annualized revenue, while Pump.fun brings in around $440 million annually. Both platforms regularly use a portion of profits to repurchase tokens, yet Hyperliquid’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) stands at roughly $65 billion, compared to Pump.fun’s mere $1.4 billion. He notes that the valuation gap between the two is not primarily driven by revenue, but by the "trust premium" shaped by team conduct and market decisions. Hyperliquid rarely overpromises, consistently rolls out products, and rewards core users per preset metrics, fostering strong trust between its team and community. By contrast, Pump.fun has generated $1 billion in cumulative revenue and raised $1 billion via ICO, but has yet to deliver on its previously promised user airdrop. Ansem believes that if Pump.fun fulfills the airdrop and addresses core users’ concerns, PUMP’s price could surge 10 to 15 times, while boosting the platform’s trading volume, visibility, and revenue growth. He also cited Bitcoin as an example: the cryptocurrency has no revenue, yet boasts a $1.3 trillion market cap, with its value rooted in its fixed 21 million coin supply and the trust built from the network’s ongoing operation. Beyond tangible metrics like revenue, trust, meme effects, and attention are also key factors influencing asset valuation.

Keyrock has completed the acquisition of BlockFills' institutional trading and brokerage business, with the deal covering its trading technology, institutional client relationships, and derivatives trading team. The acquisition will also expand Keyrock's regulatory scope, including an entity registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and another UK entity seeking authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Keyrock did not disclose the transaction price in its announcement. Per prior court documents and disclosures from company representatives, the total acquisition value is $3.25 million, payable in two installments, with certain arrangements subject to regulatory approval. BlockFills suffered major losses during the February 2026 crypto market crash, after which it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Keyrock was ultimately selected as the buyer in the firm's bankruptcy proceedings.

Serenity noted that Micron Technology announced today it has signed a long-term memory agreement with Qualcomm, but Micron’s stock price still fell by 5.37% following the announcement. He believes that, with multiple structural agreements continuing to take effect, the current decline does not appear to stem from issues with storage or AI stocks themselves. The related drop is more likely due to the winding down of deleveraging and margin call liquidation chains.

1inch co-founder Anton Bukov published a statement saying he was fired at the end of November 2025. While he remains a co-founder of the decentralized exchange aggregator and holds a 50% stake, he is no longer involved in the company’s operations, product architecture, security design, or related oversight duties. Since co-founding 1inch in May 2019, Bukov led work on protocol architecture, security, and economic model design, and contributed to launching key products including the 1inch Router, 1inch Fusion, cross-chain atomic swaps, and shared liquidity automated market makers (AMMs). Bukov noted that feedback from users and team members over the past year led him to realize he could not stay on the sidelines of the company’s management and operations. He subsequently spent months learning leadership and communication skills and driving internal changes, before being dismissed in late November 2025. He also announced the launch of a new project called Second Tier, with plans to collaborate with like-minded teams to build secure, efficient systems that bridge the gap between economic intent and real-world execution.
