Odaily News: Citrini analyst Jukan recently issued a public statement addressing the controversy sparked by his past online activities, acknowledging that some of the exposed old posts were indeed posted by himself, and apologizing for past inappropriate remarks, unauthorized dissemination of others' information, and insufficient source attribution.
Jukan stated that recent posts and allegations about his past online behavior have been circulating on platforms such as X, and he acknowledged that some of the content was indeed posted by him in the past, adding that he will not evade the responsibilities he should bear, but hopes to distinguish between confirmed facts and further speculation from outside parties. He was active in multiple online communities for a long time in his youth, and at the time, he excessively pursued attention and interaction, deliberately posting controversial content to provoke reactions from others. Reflecting on the past, Jukan believes these actions were "immature and wrong," and some of his political or social views do not fully represent his current values, but were intended to generate discussion and attention.
Jukan stated that since the end of 2024, he has been focusing on the semiconductor industry, initially mainly compiling and sharing public news and materials. As his account grew, he hoped to provide more information that had not been discussed, but during this process, issues such as insufficient source attribution and the mixing of inadequately verified information with personal judgment once again emerged. For those who disseminate information, it is very important to distinguish between "verified information," "information provided by others," and "personal speculation," and in the past, he was overly focused on account growth and content output, failing to consistently uphold the proper standards of information verification and citation.
However, Jukan emphasized that past source issues do not mean all of his content is false or plagiarized. Some content came from public news, company filings, and research reports, and over time, he also began obtaining first-hand information from industry professionals and market participants, combined with his own analysis.
Jukan expressed his understanding that building trust requires long-term accumulation, but losing trust can happen in a very short time. He pledged to place greater emphasis on information verification and original source attribution in the future, and to clearly distinguish between facts, others' opinions, and his own judgment.

Odaily News, DefiLlama founder 0xngmi, of the crypto data analytics platform, stated that the team spent months asking Apple to remove phishing apps impersonating DefiLlama from the App Store, which delayed the mobile app's launch until all such counterfeit apps had been removed. 0xngmi noted that after the team downloaded one of the malicious apps and documented a small crypto wallet being stolen, Apple removed it within days. In 2024, the App Store also saw counterfeit apps impersonating Rabby Wallet and Curve Finance; in November 2023, a fake Ledger Live app on the Microsoft Store siphoned off $588,000 across 38 transactions.

Odaily News: Wall Street quantitative trading giant Jane Street suffered losses of approximately $15 billion in the July market selloff due to its investments in AI-focused hedge fund Situational Awareness and other tech stocks.
Sources familiar with the matter revealed that despite the significant drawdown in July, Jane Street's trading revenue this year has already exceeded $40 billion, far surpassing global major banks and other market makers, and exceeding its full-year 2025 trading revenue of $39.6 billion.
In an internal memo to employees, Jane Street confirmed that July was a "rough month" for the firm. The company stated that its investment in AI-focused hedge fund Situational Awareness, which had expanded positions due to strong performance in the first half of the year, experienced a sharp drawdown during the AI stock selloff, bringing returns on the related investment back to roughly breakeven for the year, though it remains profitable relative to the initial investment.
Situational Awareness, founded by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, had drawn market attention for its heavy positions in AI-related stocks. After the sharp correction in the AI sector in July, the fund sold most of its stock positions to Citadel, owned by billionaire Ken Griffin, after triggering margin requirements.
Jane Street noted that the losses also stemmed from its long positions in Asian non-AI stocks, which had performed strongly earlier this year. The company said many large memory and semiconductor stocks fell approximately 50% in July, causing drawdowns in its previously well-performing trading portfolio. (Reuters)

Odaily News: As Wall Street and global financial institutions accelerate their entry into the digital asset space, the boundaries between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) are gradually blurring. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated that the era of "going long Bitcoin and short bankers" is over, and financial institutions are pivoting to the other side of the crypto industry, driving digital asset adoption.
Hunter Horsley noted that this summer, two financial institutions, each managing over $1 trillion in assets, approved the launch of crypto products in a bear market environment, showing that large institutions are expanding client access to digital assets. "Everyone put on the crypto jersey this year. Now, everyone is working for the crypto industry," Horsley said. He pointed out that these institutions, managing over a trillion dollars in client assets, would not have opened such services during the 2022 crypto market downturn, but are now actively embracing this sector.
Fabian Dori, Chief Investment Officer at Sygnum, also believes the relationship between banks and the crypto industry has undergone a structural shift. "The trade of 'going long Bitcoin and short bankers' is over. Banks have moved from resisting digital assets to building, supporting, and distributing them through custody, tokenization, and compliant trading," a change driven primarily by growing client demand and gradually clarifying regulatory rules, rather than short-term market cycles.
Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, said that over the past two years, its client base has increasingly reflected the convergence of traditional and crypto finance. Large financial institutions typically choose to partner with specialized crypto infrastructure companies rather than building their own technology systems.
In recent years, a growing number of financial institutions have entered the crypto space, including Swissquote, DBS Bank, BBVA, BNY Mellon, Credit Suisse-affiliated entities, as well as Morgan Stanley and Charles Schwab. (CoinDesk)

10. Serenity: Following Nvidia's lead in AI trends, the market only wakes up after opportunities are realized.
According to Odaily, "White-Haired Stock Guru" Serenity stated that AI investing may be simpler than the market imagines, as Nvidia ($NVDA) and its CEO Jensen Huang have actually been signaling future industry trends well in advance — yet the market tends to ignore these signals until the trend truly erupts.
Serenity noted that when Nvidia aggressively locked in EML (electro-absorption modulated laser) and laser production capacity in 2025, the market questioned the photonics sector, dismissing related companies as speculative plays or even questioning their management.
A year later, however, shares of related optical communications companies have surged dramatically. Among them, Lumentum ($LITE) rose 678%, Applied Optoelectronics ($AAOI) climbed 475.12%, Coherent ($COHR) gained 260.7%, and AXT ($AXTI) soared 3,843.9%.
Serenity believes the market is now repeating a similar pattern. In 2026, Nvidia has secured continuous-wave (CW) laser and EML capacity through long-term agreements, while explicitly pushing forward the transition to 800V power architecture. The company has also repeatedly emphasized that co-packaged optics (CPO) and "Physical AI" will become major trends in the next phase.
However, the market remains skeptical, dismissing CW laser-related companies as mere "concept stocks," believing that 800V and CPO will not materialize in the short term, and that commercialization of humanoid robots is still far off.
Serenity stated that the market may once again be underestimating the industry signals Nvidia is releasing, adding that he prefers to treat Nvidia and Jensen Huang's judgment as a leading indicator for AI industry trends. "Nvidia is telling everyone what will happen in the future, but the market almost always waits until things actually happen before it believes."
