Grayscale analyst Zach Pandl disclosed data showing that Bitcoin has rebounded over 20% from its low of about $63,000 in early February, with the current price around $76,000, slightly above the average cost (realized price) of about $74,000 for buyers in the past 1 to 3 months, indicating that most short-term investors have returned to the breakeven zone.Analysis suggests that if the price continues to rise, more recent buyers will enter a profitable state, which is often seen as one of the important signals at the beginning of a bull market. However, Bitcoin is still below the peak from last October. Market views indicate that this round of recovery may have formed a relatively solid phase bottom in the range of $65,000 to $70,000.

Huobi HTX global advisor Sun Yuchen made a significant appearance at the HTX Genesis Hackathon opening ceremony in Hong Kong in an online format, sharing his latest insights on the application prospects of AI Agent technology in the Web3 field and the future development direction of the industry. He pointed out that AI Agent will replace traditional interaction methods and become the core driving force of the next phase of the Web3 ecosystem.He explained that past Web3 applications often came with extremely high learning thresholds and complex on-chain interactions, while the introduction of AI Agent will drive decentralized applications (DApps) to evolve from "manual operation" to "intention-driven" based on natural language. This means that AI Agents can autonomously understand user needs, automatically plan paths, and complete complex on-chain settlements such as cross-chain transactions. This paradigm shift towards intelligence and autonomy will not only greatly unleash on-chain productivity but also become a new breakthrough point to break the bottleneck of Web3 user growth and lead the industry toward true mass adoption.It is reported that the HTX Genesis Hackathon is hosted by HTX DAO and B.AI, co-hosted by TinTinLand and OpenCity, attracting numerous developer communities, investment institutions, project parties, trading platforms, and public chain ecosystems to participate.

According to Decrypt, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (a senior Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee) wrote to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, stating that he may have "deliberately misled" Congress regarding the decline in the number of new enforcement actions by the SEC during a hearing, and pointed out that if there are significant false statements made to Congress, it could involve criminal liability.The report cites enforcement data disclosed by the SEC for 2025, stating that the SEC added a total of 456 new enforcement actions last year, of which about 200 were from the previous administration, and approximately 256 were added during the current administration, significantly lower than the average of about 765 per year over the past decade. Warren believes that the sharp decline in enforcement actions, staff reductions, and sudden leadership changes may weaken the SEC's ability to protect investors and maintain market order, and questions whether there is political favoritism and selective enforcement. The SEC declined to comment on this.
