Chief Economist of Bitfire Group, Fu Peng, stated that the AI industry is currently in a transitional period from the midstream to the downstream. The infrastructure layer, represented by Nvidia, has entered a mature stage, displaying characteristics of established stocks. However, the downstream application layer has yet to see a milestone breakthrough similar to ChatGPT. The next 10 to 18 months will be a transitional period for the industry cycle. He indicated that the competition in the second half of AI will no longer be about the story of repeatedly burning money to build infrastructure, but rather whether AI, as an efficiency tool, can generate stable payments, profits, and diffusion after entering real industries.He also mentioned that current market funds are following a logic of narrowing focus, prioritizing the elimination of speculative assets that are peripheral, highly elastic, and lack cash flow support, while continuously concentrating on the most core and highest certainty targets. Pure liquidity assets at the denominator end, such as Bitcoin, often digest valuation pressure before traditional stock markets.He further noted that DRAM and HBM storage are ultimately commodities, subject to the laws of commodity cycles. When the industry fundamentals are extremely certain and volatility drops to very low levels, the excessive accumulation of off-market financial leverage often becomes an invisible killer that triggers a sharp decline. Even when a company's fundamentals are sound, prices can fluctuate dramatically during deleveraging.

According to the official report from Ostium, the core of this attack lies in the intrusion of the off-chain price reporting system's permissions, unrelated to smart contract vulnerabilities. After gaining off-chain authorization, the attacker submitted forged prices (5,000 USD and 60,000 USD) to the BTC-USD market using the legally registered forwarding paths of the protocol, completing an atomic open-close arbitrage cycle within the same transaction, and starting with a rolling scale of 100 USDC. Through 8 transactions, they extracted 23.75 million USDC from the OLP treasury within 5 minutes, until the treasury's circuit breaker mechanism was triggered.The root cause is the lack of a multi-party approval mechanism at the same level as on-chain multi-signature in the off-chain infrastructure, creating a single point of permission vulnerability. The stolen funds have been converted to ETH and mixed through Tornado Cash, and tracking efforts are still ongoing.

Tokens can be traded instantly through the Uniswap liquidity pool at the time of issuance and can be integrated with platforms such as Uniswap, GMGN, LI.FI, BasedBot, and Definitive.Each token issued on Varo has a fixed supply of 100 million tokens, and the initial market value is set by Varo (for example, 60,000 USDG or 30 WETH).
