Bankless responds to AICC incident again: The two co-founders never sold their personal shares, the fund shares were sold by a GP, and the co-founders were not aware of it

Bankless co-founder David Hoffman posted another picture on X (narrated from the perspective of another co-founder Ryan Adams) in response to the AICC crash.

Ryan said that he and David Hoffman, another co-founder of Bankless, invested 5 SOL in Aiccelerate in their personal names. In addition, Bankless Ventures also invested 2 SOL in the name of the fund, and the person in charge of the investment was GP Ben Lakoff.

After that, Bankless Ventures sold 8% of the fund (now repurchased). Ryan said that he and David were not aware of the sale, and Ben himself did not understand the situation of Aiccelerate, and the sale was based on transactional thinking. This was a huge mistake. This was the first time this happened, and Ben was very sad about it.

Ryan finally clarified again that he and David had never sold their individual shares.

The founder of ai16z published a long article in the early morning to respond to the controversy of the AICC project, saying that AICC was a vampire attack and was very angry about it. The tweet has been deleted

ai16z founder Shaw published a long article in the early hours of this morning in response to the AICC-related controversy. He said:

It did not support other projects on daos.fun, but only supported two projects – one was considered very interesting (Odaily Planet Daily Note: this should be the Ai pool project METAV that previously raised more than 30,000 SOLs), and the other was AICC created by a community partner.

In addition, the reason why he was angry about the release of AICC tokens was that the whole project felt like a vampire attack, and his name and DAO brand were exploited. Despite this, AICC is still a fair game and abides by the platform rules of daos.fun, but it was attacked because the majority of people did not benefit due to the whitelist issuance mechanism. As a result, he said he was withdrawing from Meme coins because the culture was toxic and behind it was a group of cancel culture babies who pretended to be avant-garde and anti-awakening. Finally, Shaw said that from now on, he would only engage with AI people and real Builders.

At present, the tweet has been deleted.

Bitfinex report: Market optimism about cryptocurrency regulation could limit further declines for Bitcoin

Bitfinex released a report analyzing that last week, Bitcoin fell to a low of $91,430, continuing the correction trend after hitting an all-time high of $108,100 on December 17, 2024. This Monday, Bitcoin continued to fall and has now fallen by more than 15% due to growing market caution, driven by soaring U.S. Treasury yields and continued outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. It is worth noting that the ETF has seen outflows of funds on 7 days in the past 12 trading days, with $718 million outflows in just two days, in stark contrast to the inflow of nearly $2 billion in early January.

Bitcoin has held up despite macro pressures – still up 42% since the US election – outperforming stocks, which have erased their post-election gains. However, as the Federal Reserve signals fewer rate cuts and tighter financial conditions, Bitcoin could face greater volatility in the short term. However, optimism about cryptocurrency regulation under new US President-elect Donald Trump could still limit further downside and keep Bitcoin strong in the long term.

1confirmation founder: The best way to deal with hype such as AI agents is to use products and communicate with developers

Nick Tomaino, founder of 1coinfirmation, posted on social media that “when hot topics like AI agents emerge, it usually means that the long-term trend is real, but 99% of the projects that emerge around this trend will disappear within a year or two. The best way to deal with this hype is to use the product and communicate with the developers. If you find a product you like, led by a smart developer, invest in it. Otherwise, it’s best to stay away to avoid being blown up.”

Bloomberg analyst: Trump will revitalize the U.S. stock market and is not worried about Bitcoins short-term correction

Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, said that the biggest risk to Bitcoin is the downward trend of the stock market (also known as the baby boom market), which has both advantages and disadvantages. The good news is that Trump may spare no effort to keep the stock market rising, so I am not too worried about these short-term pullbacks.
