According to Hong Kong 01, Hong Kong police have disclosed a fraud case in which scammers lured victims into investing in cryptocurrencies under the guise of “AI-powered quantitative trading,” defrauding a woman of approximately HK$7.7 million. The fraudsters posed as “investment experts” and proactively contacted the victim via Telegram, claiming they could generate stable, high returns using “quantitative trading” and “AI algorithms.” The victim subsequently transferred USDT and ETH worth around HK$7.7 million from her digital wallet to designated addresses in 17 separate transactions. She only realized she had been scammed when her withdrawal request was denied. Hong Kong police warned that although cryptocurrencies offer the potential for high returns, they also carry high volatility and high risk. Claims of “AI-driven trading” or “guaranteed profits from quantitative strategies” are mostly fraudulent lures. The public should remain vigilant against the “impossible trinity” trap—promises of high returns, low risk, and low entry barriers.
Odaily News Trader 0xSun posted stating that news-driven trading remains one of the more cost-effective strategies in the current crypto market, with its core lying in the directionality and volatility brought by events.Reviewing several recent events, including abnormal ETH transactions, Arc fee adjustments, TAO ecosystem changes, RAVE-related investigations, and the KelpDAO security incident, all triggered significant price fluctuations within a short period. He believes that participating in such opportunities relies on either the speed of information acquisition or the ability to judge the impact of events.Furthermore, he indicated that as the recent altcoin market has gradually cooled down, he has resumed the strategy of going long on BTC while hedging by shorting some altcoin assets. He believes that against the backdrop of relatively weak liquidity and the fading of certain narratives, the overall performance of altcoins may face relatively more pressure.

Kamino, a liquidity protocol in the Solana ecosystem, announced on X that neither the platform nor its users have been affected by the current Ethereum rsETH incident. However, as a precautionary measure, Kamino has suspended all interactions with LayerZero-related tokens in its core markets (USDS, LBTC, FBTC). Related reserve assets have been placed into “reduce-only mode,” meaning users can still withdraw funds and repay debts, but deposits and borrowing functions are temporarily disabled. Kamino added that it is in active communication with the LayerZero team and will notify users immediately once the relevant reserves resume normal operations. These measures are purely proactive risk controls; platform and user funds remain unaffected.

RaveDAO responded to recent market concerns regarding RAVE’s price volatility, denying that the team has participated in or driven the token’s price movements and labeling related rumors as false. The DAO emphasized its ongoing commitment to project development. RaveDAO stated that its current strategy is long-term oriented, with plans to enhance incentive alignment between the team and the community through mechanism design—including exploring token lock-up models triggered by price or performance metrics. The team also disclosed that, per its Token Release Schedule (TRS), it will sell portions of already-unlocked tokens at appropriate times to fund operational expenses, global hiring, marketing initiatives, and strategic acquisitions. This statement implies an expectation of sustained selling pressure. Additionally, RaveDAO confirmed its continued allocation of a portion of revenues to public welfare: it has pledged to donate 20% of event profits and a portion of future operational profits to charitable causes. The project reiterated that its core objective is to build an on-chain entertainment and music ecosystem and drive Web3 user growth—not short-term price performance.
