According to Hifi Finance monitoring, Hifi Finance has disclosed that Hifi DAO suffered a governance takeover attack, and HIFI token holders have effectively lost control of the protocol, the governance smart contracts, and the HIFI token supply. The team reminded all users with collateral deposited in Hifi Protocol to withdraw immediately, and specifically requested the controllers of two relevant addresses to withdraw WETH from the protocol. Hifi Finance stated that the core team failed to detect and stop the governance attack in time and takes full responsibility for it. The team has now taken measures to significantly limit the scope of the attack's impact. The final loss has not yet been determined, with a preliminary estimate of about $20,000. The DAO treasury is sufficiently funded and will compensate all affected parties; the DAO's own liquidity has been permanently withdrawn from decentralized trading platforms. In addition, all outstanding debt collateralized by RWAs will be managed directly by the core team and will no longer be processed through the compromised smart contracts. The relevant debt remains adequately capitalized and is expected to be repaid in full on the original maturity date of March 26, 2027, and the protocol will not issue new debt. The team said a full investigation report will be released later.

He stated that he previously believed the BTC $78,000 level would be difficult to break below, and the actual price had remained above $79,000 until the recent black swan event caused it to fall below that level. He had already closed about two-thirds of his long position near $76,000 to guard against another extreme market move similar to October 11.After observing market stabilization over the past two days, he has re-established a full long position in the $76,000 to $78,000 range. His core judgment remains unchanged, and he still believes that $58,000 is the bottom for BTC in this cycle. He further noted that the bottom of the first phase of this bull market may be around $118,000, while the target for the second leg up is double $78,000, or about $150,000, and he expects BTC to potentially reach $120,000 within this year.

OpenAI has lowered the target size of its latest funding round by $10 billion and is racing to finalize the deal. The round had already been overshadowed by a sell-off in AI-related stocks in public markets and the impending listing of its biggest rival, Anthropic. Last month, the ChatGPT developer had planned to raise $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation and pitched the deal as investors' last chance to buy into OpenAI before its IPO next year. At the time, OpenAI cited rapid revenue growth since July to justify a valuation nearly double its previous $852 billion. But as tech stocks suffered a sharp sell-off and concerns mounted over the scale and pace of AI spending, OpenAI began scaling back its fundraising expectations.Multiple people familiar with the matter said OpenAI is now seeking to raise about $20 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation. OpenAI set last Friday as the deadline for investors to commit. The sources said the first close is expected to bring in less than $20 billion, as some investors have reduced their commitments.
