Jinse Finance reported that Ethereum founder Vitalik posted on X, stating that Peter Thiel, who now has many investments in the crypto space, is by no means a cypherpunk. Vitalik quoted Peter Thiel's 2007 article "The Straussian Moment," which wrote, "The American system needs intelligence, and secret coordination among global intelligence agencies is the decisive path to achieving peace under American rule." This statement predates Peter Thiel's famous 2009 remark, "I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible," by two years.

According to ChainCatcher, citing CoinGlass data, the total open interest (OI) of bitcoin futures across the entire network reached a historic high of $88.7 billion today. Currently, the price of bitcoin is consolidating around $120,000. The record-breaking open interest indicates an excessively high level of leverage in the derivatives market. Trader BitBull predicts that both bitcoin and altcoins will experience a "large-scale leverage liquidation" within the next 1-2 weeks. He believes that the liquidation will force some traders to sell, but after that, the market will rebound and reach new highs. Other analysts have differing views. Trader CrypNuevo believes the upward target is around $123,200. Meanwhile, trader Roman points out bearish divergence on the daily and weekly charts, warning of the risk of weakening momentum. CoinGlass data shows that current support liquidity is mainly concentrated around $118,500.
