Is the talent shift to AI a threat to crypto? In a recent interview with The Free Press, CZ 🔶 BNB describes it as a natural maturation phase for the industry. “Those who remain in crypto are long-term builders. It may develop a bit slower and with less hype, but it's more solid.” Blockchain is also a foundational technology that AI will build on - meaning progress in one can reinforce the other. A slower cycle with more committed builders could strengthen the industry's long-term foundations.

Hyperliquid Founder on How Eastern and Western Values Shape Entrepreneurship Jeff Yan noted that his parents are Chinese immigrants and that growing up between Eastern and Western cultures has benefited him greatly. He believes Hyperliquid's success is partly due to drawing on the strengths of both value systems. He explained that the individualism and "change-the-world" ethos prevalent in the United States and the West are crucial for entrepreneurship and help explain why many major startups are born in America. At the same time, Chinese culture emphasizes humility, less talk and more action, and a strong work ethic—qualities shaped by the older generation—which have informed his approach to building and working. In his view, these Eastern and Western values complement each other and together have propelled Hyperliquid's development. Source:

Jeff Yan: Crypto's biggest problem is the lack of top entrepreneurial talent On July 9, 2026, Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan jeff.hl stated in an interview on the VALR podcast that a fair criticism of the current crypto and fintech sectors is their inability to attract enough of the highest quality entrepreneurial talent. He believes that amidst the AI boom and the social pressure to pursue prestige, the smartest young people often do not know what they could do to make the most impact, resulting in very few choosing to enter the space. Jeff Yan expressed that rebuilding financial engineering from the ground up based on first principles and translating academic concepts into scalable market designs is an incredible undertaking. He urged the younger generation not to take things at surface value, but to identify the real problems the world faces and participate in the incredible renaissance of on-chain finance happening right now.

Hyperliquid founder Jeff: The real risk isn't a black swan,it's marginalization. Jeff Yan stated in an interview at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2025 on October 14th, Hyperliquid worries more about a "slow decline" than a black swan event. If Hyperliquid fails,it will likely not be because of the protocol itself,but because it didn't create something valuable for the world. He added that DeFi still has a long road ahead: it should reduce reliance on off chain assumptions (such as price or asset backing) and refocus on on chain consistency and long term building. Whether the existing financial system will ultimately take it seriously remains to be seen. Source：

Jeff Yan: I'm not interested in imitation, only in zero-to-one innovation On July 9, 2026, in an interview on the VALR podcast VALR , Hyperliquid co-founder Jeff Yan jeff.hl stated that the team is trying to build mostly things that do not yet exist to achieve a zero-to-one leap. He believes that building something merely for feature parity because 10 people have already done it is not exciting, nor is it something the team would devote all their minds to. Citing HIP-3 as an example, Yan noted that this pioneering permissionless deployment structure creates an interesting synergy among protocols, deployers, interfaces, and exchanges. He expressed that building things that do not exist yet cannot be informed by metrics; metric growth is simply a downstream benefit, and the right approach is to always keep finding the next zero-to-one.

Incubators vs Advisors: A Key Insight for Web3 Projects. During a recent webinar hosted by Reform, we brought together several leading incubators to share insights on what projects should truly expect when building in Web3. In this short clip, David from SkryLabs explains the difference between an incubator and an advisor, and why that distinction matters more than many founders realize. One of the most important takeaways he shares: Projects should never stop asking questions when working with advisors. The more actively you engage, the more value you extract from the relationship. Whereas the same goes for incubators, they often are more engaged due to the different nature of the relation. Incubators aren’t just there to advise, they’re there to help build, guide, and challenge you throughout the process. A great insight for any team currently building.

Vitalik Buterin: The crypto ecosystem must not go down the path of OpenAI（ARCHIVE FOOTAGE ） On July 3, 2025, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated in an EthCC speech video that the crypto industry must not repeat the mistakes of OpenAI, which first gave up openness for safety, and then sacrificed safety for rapid growth. He believes that many projects in Web1, Web2, and the crypto space eventually move towards corporatization because they become driven by financial incentives and social connections once they form entities. Vitalik Buterin stated that the ecosystem should establish more diverse funding and reward models, ensuring that core principles like open source, privacy, and censorship resistance are strictly taken into account alongside commercial success.

*ೃ༄*ೃ༄ Welcome SC07: Consumer Crypto *ೃ༄*ೃ༄ Many still don’t believe that consumer crypto presents big investable opportunities. We obviously disagree. We’ve long held the belief that owning the relationship with and the attention of consumers will be an even greater point of leverage in a world of open data and protocols than it is in web2. We are surrounded by a growing group of builders who share an unwavering belief in consumer crypto. They are tirelessly navigating through uncertainty and widespread skepticism, pushing towards a vision of a dramatically more interesting internet. After reviewing 300 apps and conducting 50+ interviews, it's clear to us that we’re right at the edge of the inflection point. Today we’re excited to announce SC07: Consumer Crypto, and introduce you to the eight companies building category-defining consumer crypto products.

[WATCH] THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT RESIGN. When it comes to the President, there is always a distinctive role between him being the President of the party and the state. There are many factors that influence the state in terms of governance and stability. If the President is called upon by some to resign and he keeps quiet it can throw the state into a state of turmoil. I want to make it clear that the officials agreed with the President on his approach, he took us into confidence and explained the factors that led him to make that particular pronouncement. We believe that the President did the right thing in pronouncing in the best interest of South Africa that he will not be resigning. There was nothing in terms of the judgment that warranted the President to resign it was just mere calls made by individuals and political parties that wanted to throw our country into a state of turmoil, uncertainty and anxiety. So it was imperative that he focus on that. It was correct for him to tell the country that from where he is standing there is nothing in the judgement that states he has done any wrongdoing and what he is going to do with the options in front of him and he has made this public. The President will take the Section 89 Report on review based on the outcome of the judgment and the legal advice he has received. There are no daggers out for the President to resign just opportunistic elements. These elements do not know what they want, they want to impeach and want him to resign, they do know what they actually want. The veracity of the report has not been tested in any committee so they don’t have a basis for the President to resign.

Former Binance Listing BD: Manipulators Act Blatantly, No One Looks Long Term On February 9, former Binance staff Chase was interviewed by Yuzheng Sun on YouTube kedaibiao. He said the crypto valuation system is mainly composed of liquidity, attention, and chip structure. These three factors determine the medium-to-short-term trend of an asset within 7 days to 3 months, and no one looks at the long term. He emphasized that market makers care about short-term profit rather than value, leading to a lack of long-term thinking. In addition, because crypto has not yet been defined as a security, limited regulation has led many to engage in misconduct, and market manipulation is "clearly on display, no one even pretends anymore." Binance co-founder Yi He clarified that Chase was a BD, not a Listing Manager with decision-making power, and stressed that the Listing team is fully separated from the BD team. Source：

BAANX AT ETHCC CANNES: THE FUTURE OF PAYMENTS TOOK CENTER STAGE While Cannes is famous for red carpets and film premieres, this year's ETHCC proved that the real blockbuster story was happening on the 4th floor of Palais des Festivals, where Baanx was rewriting the script for crypto payments. THE MAIN EVENT: SIMON JONES ON PAYMENTS EVOLUTION Chief Commercial Officer commanded the Main Stage with a simple but powerful message: "Why spending crypto should feel like spending cash." It wasn't just a presentation, it was a manifesto for the future of finance. Simon, an OG who's been bridging traditional finance and decentralized tech long before it was cool, didn't mince words about what's at stake. His specialty? Finding solutions that make crypto payments more accessible, secure, and impactful. And at ETHCC, he delivered exactly that vision. BUILDING BRANDS THAT USERS ACTUALLY OWN. When asked about "Building a Brand and Product in Web3," Simon dropped some serious knowledge: "Building brands in web3 is how you start to look at different concepts in the product that have been in existence and redefine how you can reach the global audience. Building a brand in web3 is truly about building a brand that people feel they have a level of ownership engagement." This wasn't corporate speak, this was someone who understands that Web3 isn't just about technology; it's about fundamentally changing the relationship between brands and users. emphasized that "web3 branding is how you build something that connects you to the users" and Baanx is living proof of this philosophy. THE MARKET LEADER PLAYBOOK Simon's formula for dominance was refreshingly straightforward: "You got to build a product that people like, in order to be a market leader." But he didn't stop there. He stressed the importance of building "a product that people interact with everyday" while staying true to brand values and helping users understand the real benefits. WHAT Baanx SHOWCASED: THE CRYPTO LIFE REVOLUTION The Baanx Investment team wasn't just talking theory, they were demonstrating real solutions. Their booth became a magnet for anyone curious about earning crypto just by swiping their Crypto Life Life Card. The value prop was clear: fast, transparent, and low-cost solutions for moving money globally, with just a few lines of code for integration. But here's what set them apart: true self-custody solutions. While others promise decentralization, Baanx delivers it, empowering users with full control over their digital assets without relying on third parties. THE ENTERPRISE GAME-CHANGER Simon Jone's track record speaks volumes. Under his leadership, Baanx has secured incredible enterprise partnerships with industry giants like MetaMask 🦊 and Ledger. These aren't just partnerships, they're validation that Baanx is solving real problems for real businesses. LOOKING FORWARD: THE FINTECH REVOLUTION As fintech companies play an increasingly important role in the global economy, Baanx positioned itself as the key driver of growth in the sector. Their platform is already helping well-known fintech brands expand their product offerings and reach new customers. THE CANNES TAKEAWAY What happened at #ETHCC Cannes wasn't just another crypto conference. It was a glimpse into a future where spending crypto feels as natural as spending cash, where brands build genuine ownership relationships with users, and where the bridge between traditional finance and Web3 isn't just a concept, it's a reality. Simon Jones and the $BXX team didn't just attend ETHCC; they owned it. And based on what they showcased, the future of payments is in very capable hands. The question isn't whether crypto payments will go mainstream, it's whether you'll be part of the revolution. 🔗

Jeff Bezos: “People who are right a lot change their mind a lot” “Because of AI, new technologies, and all the dynamism in the world, so many things are changing — and they’re changing rapidly,” Jeff observes. The best solution he’s found for dealing with this rapid change is “thinking long-term” because it forces you to ask yourself, “What are the points of stability?” and “What is not going to change?” He continues: “One of the things that changes very slowly is customer needs. So you can build a strategy around customer needs. That will have durability.” When building Amazon, for example, Jeff built the company around the customer needs of fast delivery, low prices, and vast selection. “The technologies will change. Your competitive set will change. Everything will change, except those customer needs,” Jeff argues. And it’s this idea that is behind Jeff’s core idea of “Be stubborn on the vision, and flexible on the details.” He explains: “You have to be [flexible on the details] because the world is changing and so you change your mind. I’ve noticed that people who are right a lot change their mind a lot. People who are wrong a lot are very stubborn on the details.” Source: Reuters (Oct 2025)

I’ve noticed that people who are right a lot change their mind a lot. People who are wrong a lot are very stubborn on the details.” Source: Reuters (Oct 2025)

Introducing: Team1 Brasil 🇧🇷 Across Brazil, Team1 was already building a foundation and creating opportunities for builders before launching an official chapter. Over the past 1.5 years, we have achieved: - 30+ events, reaching 3,000+ participants across major tech hubs - 10 university collaborations, integrating Avalanche into academic programs and classrooms - Multiple sports-led initiatives, engaging directly with football players and local communities - 8+ virtual workshops, with 460+ total participants, from builders to developers across Brazil But the real impact goes beyond the numbers. We’ve helped transform first contact into real participation, onboarded the Brazilian community to Avalanche, and supported early-stage projects that are still growing today. From academic environments to grassroots communities, the focus has always been simple: Create spaces where people don’t just learn about Web3, they start building in it. As the ecosystem expanded, so did our network. From ecosystem projects to universities and local Web3 communities, we’ve focused on building relationships that actually create opportunities for builders. This is how ecosystems scale.

MAME AMA TEXT SUMMARY Words from Founder Brian Sumner 🔶 BNB Save Meme Culture – MAME was never created to be another meme token chasing short-term hype. The mission has always been to rebuild real meme culture and create the kind of communities that made BNB Chain special years ago. The goal is to build a community that believes in something bigger than price action. Long-Term Vision – MAME is being developed as a complete IP, not just a token. The team is expanding the MAME universe through original storytelling, animations, characters, and content designed to grow the brand both inside and outside of crypto. Market Conditions – Current market conditions are largely driven by Bitcoin, with BNB following its movements. Since MAME's liquidity is backed by BNB, price fluctuations are expected. Despite short-term volatility, Brian remains confident in BNB's long-term growth and believes stronger market conditions will naturally bring more activity back to the ecosystem. BNB Chain & Meme Culture – The team continues working to reconnect BNB Chain with meme culture through discussions, partnerships, and community initiatives. Brian emphasized that memes are one of the biggest drivers of users, trading activity, and ecosystem growth, and MAME aims to help restore that culture. Buyback & Burn Strategy – During the AMA, Brian announced that every community buy would be matched with an equivalent Buyback & Burn by the team. He explained that Buyback & Burns are not random events, but part of a broader strategy to reward community participation, generate visibility, and continually reinvest back into MAME. Long-Term Holders – The current focus is attracting believers rather than short-term traders. Brian explained that building a strong community sometimes requires allowing short-term participants to exit while continuing to strengthen the base of long-term holders who genuinely support the project's vision. Transparency & Security – Brian reaffirmed that transparency remains one of the team's highest priorities. Team wallets and project funds remain under secure founder management to protect the project and provide confidence to the community. Marketing & Growth – The team will continue expanding MAME through strategic marketing, ecosystem partnerships, community campaigns, and original content. Every initiative is designed to strengthen the MAME brand rather than create temporary hype. Community – Brian thanked every community member creating artwork, content, and helping grow MAME organically. He emphasized that the community is the foundation of the project and one of its greatest strengths. Closing Message – MAME is still at the beginning of its journey. The focus remains on consistent execution, expanding the MAME universe, growing the community, and continuing the mission to Save Meme Culture.
