World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has filed a defamation lawsuit against Justin Sun. WLFI alleges that Blue Anthem—a company affiliated with Sun—purchased $WLFI tokens in November 2024 and immediately engaged in prohibited activities, including transferring tokens to Binance. After WLFI froze the relevant tokens in accordance with its sales terms, Sun did not seek a good-faith resolution; instead, he orchestrated a coordinated smear campaign—hiring influencers, deploying bots, and disseminating false information to over 4 million followers, falsely labeling WLFI’s governance as a “scam” and accusing it of containing a “backdoor,” with the intent of driving the token price “to rock bottom.” WLFI states that the token freeze functionality was explicitly disclosed in its sales terms, that its governance mechanism is transparent and community-driven, and that it will pursue legal action against Sun.

Hikvision has recently issued a price adjustment letter to its distributors, announcing that from July 1 this year, the company's hard drive product prices will be raised accordingly. Additionally, prior to July 1, other Hikvision products will also undergo an initial round of price increases. This hard drive price hike is primarily targeted at the distributor channel. In response to the current volatile supply and pricing situation, Hikvision has recommended that distributors lock in orders and prices as soon as possible.In fact, this is neither Hikvision's first price adjustment nor an isolated case. Regarding the reason for this price increase, insiders have indicated that the core driver is the persistent crowding-out effect caused by the "explosive" growth in AI demand. Hard drive procurement costs have continued to climb. Compared to Q2 of this year, the hard drive cost quotes from OEMs for Q3 have risen by more than 50%. Based on current market conditions, product prices may continue to increase in the coming period. (Blue Whale Finance)
