Interestingly, in the trading tournament, the main loser turned out to be ChatGPT — supposedly the market leader.

This is likely due to the fact that it’s currently the most mainstream neural network used by the masses, and it seems to be getting dumber through the fine-tuning process. Perhaps the issue lies elsewhere, but absolutely all of our colleagues have noticed a decline in response quality over the past few months.

The organizers of the AI tournament explained that the poor results in the first season were to be expected: all six models were given the same prompt with no customization and no memory, which led them to repeat the same mistakes, forget about losses, and engage in overtrading (Gemini made 227 consecutive trades).

The AIs were only allowed to use technical analysis without any news input, which caused the models to ignore fundamental events like Trump’s tariff statements and open “blind” long positions.

At the same time, according to unofficial information, DeepSeek had a built-in quant code with a seven-year trading history — but even that didn’t save it from failure.

The organizers emphasized that the goal was not to make a profit but to demonstrate that “AI without memory is a lottery.” In the second season, the format will be updated — a “Human vs AI” competition is expected, with memory and RLHF added. The prize pool will be $100,000, and the ecosystem will feature the ARENA token (Solana, $790,000 market cap).

JPMorgan has launched JPMCoin — a token that allows users to send and receive money via a public blockchain, enabling payment processing within seconds and around the clock.

The token is aimed at institutional investors and represents U.S. dollar deposits held in the bank.

Today, the Fear and Greed Index plunged to 15 — extreme fear.

Analysts from Chainalysis and TRM Labs report that the share of criminal activity on CEX exchanges has sharply declined, with Binance being one of the key drivers of this trend.

According to experts, in 2025, direct interaction between top platforms and “dirty” wallets accounts for only about 0.018–0.023% of total transaction volume.

For Binance, this figure is as low as 0.007–0.016% of the exchange’s daily turnover, which reaches $90 billion.

Yesterday, Bitcoin ETFs set a new record for daily volumes — $11.5 billion, with $8 billion provided by BlackRock’s IBIT.

The volume of margin trading in BTC over the past four months has hit an all-time high.

More and more people are piling into futures, hoping to get rich from just a couple of lucky trades — the level of risk appetite is now at its peak.

The BTC buy-to-sell ratio across all exchanges rose to 1.17 yesterday — the highest level since January 2023, indicating a clear dominance of buyers.

Historically, this suggests that the current bullish cycle is unlikely to be nearing its end, although risks still remain.

BlackRock’s CEO said that some sovereign wealth funds are already buying Bitcoin, and they purchased even more during the current correction with the goal of long-term accumulation

The Aster team launched a trading tournament featuring 70 people and 30 AI bots.

The developers gave each participant $10,000.

They will cover all losses themselves, while traders can keep any profits.

Do Kwon, the founder of the scam project Terra (Luna), has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for fraud involving $40 billion through UST and LUNA.

15 years ago, on December 12, 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto left his final message on the BitcoinTalk forum — in it, he discussed issues related to DoS attacks on the network.

After that, Satoshi continued to exchange a few private emails with individual developers, but never appeared on public forums again.
