BlockBeats News, February 27th, FTX founder SBF posted on social media stating, "The biggest issue facing cryptocurrency is: Will AI use it? Suppose a ChatGPT instance or Claude needs more computing power, will it pay via wire transfer, credit card, or use cryptocurrency. The traditional financial system has inherent barriers for AI payments—AI lacks a passport, address, social security number, or even a name, making it impossible to complete KYC (Know Your Customer) processes. In contrast, cryptocurrency is inherently digital and permissionless; AI can directly access the blockchain, making it more suitable as an AI payment method.Another possibility is the 'agent model': each AI is considered an agent of a person, with that person completing KYC and being responsible for the AI's actions. This model also presents legal challenges, such as who will be held accountable for the AI's behavior. Regardless of the approach, integrating AI with trading and payment systems requires significant effort, either building on native digital and cryptocurrency foundations or relying on human 'masters' to manage the AI's financial activities.Either way, some work is needed to connect the world of AI with the world of transactions and payments. Either this work itself is digital and cryptocurrency-based, or it depends on the AI's human 'masters.' Its direction of development has significant implications for the entire world. One of these implications is the future of cryptocurrency."

PANews reported on February 25th that, according to Route2FI analysis, a whale is holding a total of $24 million in long ARC positions on Lighter, and is continuously injecting $360,000 per hour through TWAP (time-weighted buy), driving the bullish trend. The whale has already made a profit of $5 million. Analysis indicates that this whale's behavior is similar to the JellyJelly price manipulation incident on Hyperliquid. In March 2025, a whale on Hyperliquid simultaneously shorted the JellyJelly perpetual contract with large sums while manipulating the spot price through other accounts and on-chain mechanisms, causing short sellers to be liquidated. Hyperliquid's liquidity pool (HLP) suffered losses after settlement, prompting the Hyperliquid team to urgently delist the contract through a governance vote and force settlement at an extremely low price. Currently, the annualized funding rate for ARC contracts on Lighter has surged to 2100%, equivalent to short sellers earning approximately 5.7% in funding fees daily, which will attract more short sellers, intensifying the battle between bulls and bears.

PANews reported on February 25th that, according to on-chain analyst Yu Jin, as the price of ETH rebounded and broke through $2,000, the largest ETH long position held by a whale on Hyperliquid, holding 120,000 ETH, has turned from a loss to a profit. Yesterday, he had a paper loss of over $20 million, but now he has a paper profit of $2.75 million.
