Odaily Planet Daily News LayerZero Labs co-founder and CEO Bryan Pellegrino posted on the X platform in response to the controversy related to KelpDAO, saying that most of the recent allegations surrounding KelpDAO are "completely untrue".

Bryan Pellegrino said that the DeadDVN mechanism rejects transaction paths that are not properly configured with DVN, preventing applications from running directly with default parameters, and said that the LayerZero team has previously clearly given configuration recommendations to KelpDAO.

According to ChainCatcher news, Tushar Jain, co-founder of Multicoin Capital, posted on social platforms that he has opened a large number of positions in the privacy coin Zcash since this year. Multicoin Capital noted that Zcash is a return to the "cypherpunk" ideals on which cryptocurrencies were founded. California's proposed forfeiture bill is a red flag. As the trend of confiscating private wealth through political means continues to grow, individuals and institutions will increasingly seek private assets that can protect their interests. In addition, while Bitcoin is censorship-resistant and no one can freeze or block its use, this does not prevent the government from confiscating assets known to be held through wealth taxes. As a result, assets that are truly privacy, censorship-resistant, and anti-seizure have a clear product-market fit and are growing at an accelerated pace. In its view, ZEC is the most direct target for expressing this investment theme on the open market.

According to a report by analyst agency Kaiko on Monday, the open interest, funding rates, and on-chain trading patterns in the perpetual contract market show that some traders may lay out in advance before the announcement of the launch of the Robinhood crypto token. The report points to the most obvious case of the wallet address 0xa1E, which opened a long position in Lighter (LIT) on Hyperliquid at 11:05 a.m. on January 15, and about an hour later, Robinhood announced the token's launch, and the wallet was immediately closed after the announcement. The same address also opened a short position in HOOD hours before Robinhood announced lower-than-expected first-quarter revenue on April 28. Several tokens, including ZEC, SNX, and NEAR, experienced abnormal spikes in open interest and funding rates and price drift before the launch announcement. Researcher Fraussen told Cointelegraph that traders who understand the microstructure may notice and deploy public signals such as spikes in funding rates and increased trading volume, but such positioning is statistically consistent and repeats across multiple events, reflecting privileged access to Robinhood's listing pipeline or a highly reliable front-running method based on public signals.

According to ChainCatcher news, according to market news, Bitcoin on-chain activity has fallen to a two-year low, with an average of about 531,000 active wallets and 203,000 new wallets per day. This data is a stark disconnect from Bitcoin's surpass, the first time in three months, that Bitcoin has surpassed $80,000. Santiment noted that price increases should normally attract more users and on-chain activity, but currently price increases are driven by smaller players rather than a broad influx of new and returning users. Price increases without on-chain participation support are often fragile, and when large investors take profits, there may not be enough new demand to take over. Judging from historical data, the bottom of network activity often marks the end of a cool period, and once retail interest returns, the price may have more upside.

Odaily Planet Daily News 10x Research published an article stating that although Bitcoin trading volume is still low and the funding rate remains negative, some early traders in the market have made advance layouts and gained about 10% returns. It believes that many traders are still waiting for macro catalysts or believe that the bear market is not over, but this misunderstands how the Bitcoin market works, "the end of a bear market is often not triggered by a single piece of news, but by improving indicators, changes in risk-reward, and when most participants are still in the market." 10x Research said it turned bullish a month ago, and although market sentiment has improved, the position follow-up is still insufficient. At the same time, it reminds that there are still risks in the current market, and reasonable hedging and position management are still important.
