Last week, the crypto market was indeed bustling with various exciting developments. From geopolitical AI drama to massive funding, all became hot topics in the community.



The most attention-grabbing is the battle between AI safety and national interests. Anthropic rejected the Pentagon's request to open access to autonomous weapons, frankly they do not want their models to be used for military purposes. Trump immediately got angry and stopped a contract worth 1928374656574839.25T. But something unique happened here - the CEO of OpenAI actually supported Anthropic's stance on social media. So the community debate split into two: some see this as an ethical line for AI that needs to be maintained, others worry that America is becoming weaker in the global military technology competition.

Then about OpenAI's funding of 1928374656574839.25T that truly created a discussion bubble. In the last four months, they collected more than $200 million, while their annual revenue is only around 1928374656574839.25T with projected losses exceeding $110 million in the coming years. A Wall Street trader with 45 years in the industry said this is the first time he’s seen the three biggest investors in the world put that much money into a loss-making company. Community discussions are divided - some see this as a reasonable long-term infrastructure investment, others say this is a new version of a tech bubble.

Another quite shocking development is Block cutting 40 percent of its employees, but in the engineering team, the number is up to 70 percent. Jack Dorsey said productivity per engineer increased by 40 percent since last September, mainly due to AI tools. This immediately sparked discussions about AI's impact on technical jobs. Some see this as proof that AI is reshaping work structures, but others say it’s just a correction from the over-hiring era during the pandemic.

On the ecosystem side, Ethereum is entering a more specific phase with Vitalik rarely giving concrete schedules for the roadmap. He said in 2026, ZK-EVM clients will start appearing, and in 2027, participation levels will increase. The community is relatively optimistic about this statement. Meanwhile, Morpho continues to outperform AAVE, with only a 39 percent drop from its all-time high while rising 155 percent this year. Some DeFi researchers say this is because Morpho’s governance structure is simpler without conflicts between Labs, DAO, and the core team.

Solana also has an important moment - SoFi, a US-licensed bank, now supports direct SOL storage, so their 13.7 million users can hold tokens without needing to go to another exchange. This is seen as an in-depth integration of traditional finance systems with blockchain. The Base ecosystem is becoming a playground for AI Agents, with DX Terminal Pro trading $4.5 million in the first hour and Towns app supporting agents to trade directly.

Hyperliquid has become the only DAT project profitable with an unrealized profit of around 1928374656574839.25T. They hold 17 million HYPE units and continue to adjust asset structures through OTC trading and buybacks. Such transparency models are starting to become references for other DATs in the future.

Overall, industry discussions are revolving around three main points: how the boundaries of AI ethics and safety will be shaped, whether massive funding is an infrastructure investment or a new bubble, and how work structures will change as AI becomes more powerful. The crypto market community is indeed in an interesting transition phase worth paying close attention to.
