: DeepSeek has officially launched the image recognition mode on its web version, while the app is still in the internal testing phase. Functionally speaking, the newly launched image recognition mode is still in its early stages. The reporter repeatedly tested the model using photos of DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng. After several minutes of deliberation, the model gave many incorrect answers and ultimately admitted, "I am really not sure. It is not recommended to guess the name because guessing wrong is worse than saying 'I don’t know.'" In other tests by netizens, when presented with a photo of founder Liang Wenfeng, DeepSeek even misidentified him as Yang Zhilin, founder of Moonshot AI, or a "younger version" of Ma Huateng.It is worth noting that just before the launch of the image recognition mode, DeepSeek was reported to have secured its first round of financing, exceeding 50 billion yuan. According to reports, the core investment terms for DeepSeek are: whether for major tech companies or VC funds, Liang Wenfeng’s most important requirement is: not to poach DeepSeek’s employees or suggest they leave to start their own ventures. The reporter inquired about the relevant situation with an insider from DeepSeek and learned that this account is largely accurate. (The Paper)

According to BTCTreasuries, Bitcoin treasury company Capital B has disclosed that its shareholders’ meeting has approved a large-scale financing plan, allowing it to raise up to approximately $5.76 billion through the issuance of new shares and up to approximately $115.2 billion through the issuance of credit instruments, to further increase its Bitcoin holdings. At current prices, this financing could theoretically support the purchase of over 1.87 million BTC, underscoring the company’s highly expansionary strategy in crypto-asset allocation. This resolution implies that Capital B may continue expanding its Bitcoin holdings via a dual-path approach—leveraging both equity and debt instruments—further strengthening its balance sheet structure and exposure to the crypto market.
Jiang Zhuoer stated in a post that MicroStrategy (MSTR) currently holds approximately $55 billion in Bitcoin assets, corresponding to an annual dividend payment of about $1.7 billion for its STRC preferred stock. Theoretically, selling BTC could cover dividend requirements for roughly 32 years.STRC is classified as preferred stock rather than a debt instrument, so there is no traditional mandatory principal repayment pressure. From a financial structure perspective, MSTR does not face "liquidation-style leverage risk" or short-term solvency crises. However, the discussion itself reflects growing market concerns about the company's long-term cash flow and cryptocurrency asset volatility. STRC has already experienced significant discount fluctuations, limiting its refinancing capabilities.Furthermore, MSTR has recently relied more on issuing common stock (which may dilute BTC per share when mNAV is below 1) to fund its BTC accumulation. This strategy is difficult to sustain over the long term.Jiang Zhuoer indicated that even if the scale of MSTR's actual BTC sales to pay dividends is relatively small compared to the broader market, the symbolic significance may be more important. It could pressure market confidence and prompt investors to reassess the possibility of "long-term passive BTC selling." Market understanding of this structure is not uniform, and this divergence in perception itself could become an important factor influencing expectations and sentiment.

"White-Haired Stock God" Serenity disclosed the minutes of the ALRIB shareholder meeting on the X platform, pointing out that multiple business developments of the company have released positive signals. The minutes indicate that the company's second-generation ROSIE system is expected to be delivered soon to a leading quantum computing company in the United States, marking further progress in the implementation of its technology in the high-end equipment field.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler stated that Bitcoin weakened rapidly after the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% and released a relatively hawkish dot plot, falling below the $64,000 mark and dropping about 4% from its intraday high.This meeting marked the Fed's fourth consecutive pause, but the latest dot plot indicates a significant shift towards a hawkish policy path: several officials now expect the possibility of further rate hikes this year, further diminishing the market's pricing of "rate cut expectations." Analysts believe this change has a greater impact than the rate decision itself, directly suppressing risk asset valuations.Market data shows that Bitcoin initially surged to around $66,400 following the announcement, before quickly reversing downward amid heavy selling pressure, hitting a low of approximately $63,870. Trading volume notably expanded, indicating active selling-driven declines. The price is currently consolidating near the lower end of the $63,600–$64,000 range, with no significant inbound capital from bargain hunting.In stark contrast is gold's performance. Spot gold rapidly recovered after briefly dipping to around $4,220, climbing back above the $4,300 level to trade near $4,321, demonstrating strong defensive attributes and capital absorption capacity. Even against a backdrop of easing geopolitical risks, safe-haven demand remains resilient.Market participants pointed out that the core divergence in this round of reaction lies in the repricing of asset attributes: gold completed a swift recovery under the same macroeconomic shock, while Bitcoin failed to reclaim the key level of $64,000, highlighting the higher sensitivity of risk assets to "higher-for-longer interest rates."Overall, the market is transitioning from a phase of "loose expectations supporting risk assets" to one of "hawkish path suppressing valuations," with short-term risk appetite clearly cooling. The key observation point is whether Bitcoin can re-enter the $64,000–$65,000 range with volume confirming stability; otherwise, a weak consolidation structure may persist.

GreyScale Research’s report states that as the valuation framework for crypto assets gradually aligns with traditional financial analysis, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with clear cash flows and robust token value-capture mechanisms are attracting increased attention. Using Aave as an example, the report notes that Aave—the leading on-chain lending protocol—generates revenue primarily from lending spreads, treasury yields, and GHO-related activities (GHO being its native stablecoin). Following continuous improvements to its governance mechanism, the linkage between the protocol’s economics and the value accruing to AAVE token holders has strengthened.

Adeniyi Abiodun, co-founder of Mysten Labs—the development team behind Sui—shared Sui’s future roadmap in a recent post. According to the article, Sui’s long-term goal is to build foundational blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting global value flow over the next decade—enabling efficient payments, financial asset transfers, and transactions between machines and AI agents—all on a single network. The team emphasized that this vision stems from its core principle: “making value flow as freely as information.” Sui will continuously iterate its underlying architecture and protocol design to realize this objective. Technically, Sui leverages an object-centric model, horizontally scalable architecture, and native parallel execution to achieve high throughput, low latency, and composability within a single network—while also facilitating the onboarding of stablecoins, real-world assets, and institutional-grade financial products. Additionally, the project introduces privacy-preserving transactions, gasless transfers, and yield-bearing asset mechanisms to reduce usage costs and enhance financial accessibility. The article states that the future financial system will progressively migrate onto public-chain infrastructure—from individual payments to institutional capital markets—achieving full digitization and further extending into AI-driven automated transaction scenarios. The team describes its mission as building a unified global value network, evolving fund flows toward an instant, low-cost, “messaging-style” paradigm.
