Users can rest assured that assets locked in v2 and above are unaffected.

Odaily Planet Daily News a16z Crypto published an article analyzing the unique value and challenges faced by prediction markets. Prediction markets allow participants to trade on event outcomes, aggregating dispersed information through price signals to provide real-time probability estimates for future events. Unlike traditional polls, prediction markets offer real-time update capabilities and incentivize participants to stake capital on their information, thereby improving prediction accuracy.

The article points out that prediction markets are not only used by enterprises for product launches and research experiment forecasts, but also serve as "wisdom of the crowd" information sources for media outlets, covering events ranging from geopolitics to AI model performance. Their core advantage lies in providing independent probability estimates for specific events, rather than relying on indirect signals from overall asset price movements.

However, prediction markets still face infrastructure and market design challenges, including event verification, contract settlement, the sufficiency of participant information, and potential manipulation risks. a16z believes that if these issues are resolved, prediction markets could become important tools for decision-making and information aggregation, expanding the ability of finance and society to gain insights into future events.

Odaily “New Stock God” Serenity posted on platform X, stating that the Glass Core Substrates market is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 67.2% starting from 2028, an astonishing growth rate. However, the actual volume ramp-up for this industry may occur earlier than forecasted, with an expected start in the second half of 2026 and an accelerated climb phase in the first half of 2027, rather than waiting until 2028.

Serenity pointed out that despite differing views on the timeline, the overall industry trend remains "directionally correct and very strong" for glass substrate industry chain companies such as LPKF Laser & Electronics and SKC’s Absolics. He also reiterated that co-packaged optics (CPO) remains one of the technological trends with the greatest exponential growth potential currently. However, he emphasized that investors should appropriately allocate to multiple high-growth tracks to capture a more comprehensive share of the technology cycle dividends.

Odaily reports that Pop Mart previously disclosed a major change in shareholder interests. Renowned investor Yongping Duan, along with H&H International Investment, LLC, simultaneously increased their holdings in the company, becoming the second largest shareholder and triggering mandatory disclosure requirements. The most straightforward interpretation of Duan buying into Pop Mart is as a bet on Labubu. However, judging by his recent public statements, what he truly values appears to be Wang Ning and the team's IP operation capabilities.

When a netizen asked Duan on an investor community platform for his assessment of Wang Ning, Duan responded that Wang Ning's understanding and pursuit of his own products are "on the same level" as Jobs (Steve Jobs), at least for the future; and that Wang Ning's understanding of business "might even be slightly stronger than Jobs'."

Data from Pop Mart's official WeChat account shows that during the reporting period, LABUBU joined the "10 billion club," while six other major IPs surpassed 2 billion yuan in revenue. At the same time, leading IPs such as SKULLPANDA, CRYBABY, MOLLY, and DIMOO are also scaling up simultaneously, forming a well-structured, tiered system. Pop Mart's growth continued into the first quarter of 2026. According to the Q1 performance summary, the company's revenue increased by 75%-80% year-on-year during the period. By region, revenue in the Chinese market grew 100%-105% year-on-year; among this, offline channels grew 75%-80%, while online channels grew 150%-155%. (ifeng)

Odaily Planet Daily News: Jonas Myrdal, a prosecutor at the Swedish Economic Crime Authority, stated that regarding a post on social platform X about Sivers Semiconductors (SIVE) considering a dual listing in the US leaking out early and being officially confirmed by the company approximately 48 hours later, he believes this is not a coincidence but highly likely involves an information leak.

Jonas Myrdal pointed out that the relevant information was published and continuously promoted on platform X by an anonymous account with approximately 200,000 followers before its official disclosure. This subsequently triggered a sharp, several-fold increase in the company's stock price within a short period. This behavior pattern is similar to a previous case involving "pump-and-dump" manipulation, in which three individuals were convicted of serious market manipulation offenses. He further recommended that Nasdaq should investigate this incident and assess whether it violates the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). Currently, the source of the suspected information leak is still under investigation.

Previously, "New Stock God" Serenity posted on platform X seemingly "touting" Sivers, and stated that after further reviewing Sivers Semiconductors' latest earnings conference call, they are optimistic about its prospects. The company's management indicated that "in a super-cycle where demand far exceeds supply, viewing ecosystem partners as competitors is not the correct approach," reflecting the current strong demand in the photonics industry. Additionally, the photonics business pipeline has grown rapidly over the past five months, driving an overall revenue pipeline increase of 77%. (Marketscreener)

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi’s monitoring, the Polymarket account TrevorPlovdivBulgariaForHisBirthday predicted a BLG victory in tonight’s LoL match between BLG and WE, incurring a cumulative loss of $157,500.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Billionaire investor and founder of hedge fund Third Point, Dan Loeb, stated in a podcast that current market concerns over an AI "bubble" are greatly exaggerated, and the development phase of the AI industry is completely different from the dot-com bubble era.

Loeb pointed out that the combined capital expenditures of tech giants including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta have already exceeded $700 billion this year, and could reach $1 trillion next year, with the vast majority allocated to AI infrastructure construction. He indicated that not believing these capital expenditures can yield returns is equivalent to believing these companies are "burning cash for nothing," but currently these companies have strong profitability and ample cash flow, allowing them to rely on their own balance sheets to support investments.

Loeb emphasized that this is different from the dot-com bubble period when "valuations were detached from fundamentals," and does not constitute a traditional valuation bubble. He also noted that AI companies like Anthropic are experiencing rapid revenue growth and accelerating product deployment, indicating the industry is still in its early expansion phase.

According to reports, Anthropic's latest funding round valuation has approached nearly $965 billion, with annualized revenue surging from $14 billion to $47 billion, further strengthening market confidence in the commercialization potential of AI.

However, some investors in the market, including Michael Burry, have expressed concerns about AI valuations overheating, believing that massive investments may struggle to generate corresponding returns. Loeb stated, "We haven't even scratched the surface of AI development," and believes it remains in the early stages of long-term growth. (BusinessInsider)

Odaily reports that, according to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, after challenger Garret Jin's counterparty account Evaded closed its short positions on ETH and BTC yesterday afternoon, securing a profit of $1.808 million, it subsequently opened 10x leveraged long positions on MSFT

(Microsoft) and ORCL (Oracle). These have become its largest positions on Hyperliquid, with unrealized profits now reaching $897,000.

Odaily reported that L2BEAT research lead donnoh.eth posted on X, stating that the Base network's state update system has been down for over 30 hours due to a bug related to a recent upgrade. However, since the on-chain withdrawal cycle is set to approximately 7 days, this issue has not been immediately noticeable to users.

This malfunction involves an anomaly in the state update layer but did not immediately impact users' withdrawal experience, which is why the problem went largely unnoticed for a period of time. The issue has now sparked discussion within the community, focusing on its impact on on-chain data synchronization and operational monitoring mechanisms.

Odaily reports that digital asset management firm Grayscale stated in its latest report that the decentralized trading platform Hyperliquid is rapidly evolving from a crypto perpetual contract exchange into a blockchain-based financial infrastructure platform. In the future, it may even challenge the traditional derivatives trading and exchange systems, growing into a "financial services giant."

The report shows that Hyperliquid generated approximately $800 million in revenue in 2025, with a full-year perpetual contract trading volume of about $2.9 trillion and open interest of roughly $7 billion, capturing a significant share of the crypto derivatives market. Grayscale believes the platform is no longer limited to crypto trading. Through the HIP-3 and HIP-4 systems, it is expanding into tokenized stocks, commodities, and prediction markets, gradually building a 24/7 on-chain trading infrastructure.

In another report, FalconX also pointed out that Hyperliquid is competing with traditional derivatives exchanges like the CME Group, as well as prediction market platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, and is making progress in new markets like Pre-IPO.

The report also emphasized that regulation remains a key variable. Although Hyperliquid currently restricts access for US users, as the regulatory framework gradually clarifies and institutions like Coinbase, Robinhood, and Kraken explore perpetual contract products, this sector may see broader growth potential in the future.
