BIT tweeted that in the past two issues of the "Biton Target" report, we hinted that the bear market phase of Bitcoin may be nearing its end. Signals from multiple time dimensions are gradually forming resonance, supporting this judgment. When this judgment was made, Bitcoin was approaching the downward trend line formed since the bear market began in October 2025, just one step away from breaking upwards. Meanwhile, the weekly stochastic oscillator has fallen to a low not seen since January 2023, which was near the phase bottom after the end of the 2021/2022 bear market. Historically, this indicator reading often corresponds to market bottom areas.Our Bitcoin trend model has turned bullish. Trend signals do not always materialize, but considering that Bitcoin itself has strong trends and high volatility characteristics, after the previous two signals reversed quickly, the current round of movement has better conditions for continuation. Additionally, Bitcoin's price is gradually approaching the 21-week moving average, which has a critical boundary significance in our bull-bear judgment framework.$73,000 has always been an important watershed since March 2024 and is a key threshold for confirming whether this trend can reverse. Recently, Bitcoin has been fluctuating around $70,000. If it can effectively break through and stabilize above $73,000, the reversal signal will be further confirmed. Currently, various indicators are overall positive, but before the price enters this round's target range, the upward pace may still be disturbed by phase risk factors, so attention should be maintained.

In response to the U.S. accusations of China "stealing" intellectual property from American artificial intelligence laboratories, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiaqun stated during a regular press conference on the 24th that the U.S. claims are unfounded and are a smear against China's achievements in the development of the artificial intelligence industry. China firmly opposes this. We urge the U.S. to respect the facts, abandon prejudice, stop suppressing technology related to China, and do more to promote technological exchange and cooperation between the two countries.

PicWe's self-developed new generation wallet product has completed internal testing and entered public testing. PicWe Wallet expands the "hardware wallet" from a dedicated device to everyday terminal capabilities, allowing mobile phones, computers, and security keys to be used directly as wallets.By generating and storing keys within the device, users do not need mnemonic phrases or manual management of private keys; critical operations are completed locally without server storage, reducing the usage threshold and risk from the source.With this design, users can perform on-chain operations just like using a regular application. At the same time, the wallet also supports providing account capabilities for automated programs (such as AI agents) under certain rules, enabling more flexible on-chain interaction methods.The public testing version has supported multi-chain asset management, asset exchange, and using stablecoins to pay transaction fees, bringing users closer to the experience of "seamless blockchain usage."In a broader ecological layout, PicWe is building integrated infrastructure around RWA (Real World Assets) and intelligent applications, covering core aspects such as asset issuance, circulation, and settlement, to serve enterprises in achieving efficiency and cost goals in scenarios like cross-border settlement, asset digitization, and supply chain collaboration.

Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Coinbase and Gemini, accusing them of providing "disguised gambling" services through their prediction market platforms, in violation of New York state law.Regulators believe that such trades based on event outcomes (such as sports and elections) essentially fall under gambling activities, particularly questioning the participation of users aged 18 to 21, while New York law sets the minimum age for sports betting at 21. The prosecution is seeking hefty fines and the recovery of profits, with claims of at least $2.2 billion against Coinbase and at least $1.2 billion against Gemini. The two companies have not officially responded, but Coinbase has indicated that prediction markets are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, suggesting that their legality falls under federal jurisdiction.

The 0G Foundation announced a partnership with Alibaba Cloud to launch on-chain access to the Qianwen large model for AI agents.This move shifts artificial intelligence infrastructure from centralized, API-based systems to programmable, tokenized access specifically designed for autonomous agents. Through this collaboration, 0G allows developers to directly embed access to Qianwen into their infrastructure via a token-based mechanism. This eliminates the need for traditional account management and enables on-demand programmable access to AI computation. Agents running on 0G can query the Qianwen large model to generate responses, process information, or execute tasks in real-time.Michael Heinrich, CEO and co-founder of 0G Labs, stated, "From a macro perspective, inference runs on Qianwen, and verification runs on 0G—this builds a more complete computational and trust foundation for autonomous AI systems. The integration of 0G with Alibaba Cloud's Qianwen marks a milestone, achieving the fusion of top-tier intelligence and trusted infrastructure."
