Odaily News, Mizuho analysts lowered the price target for crypto custodian BitGo from $14 to $11, while maintaining an "Outperform" rating. At the time of the report, BitGo's stock was trading at approximately $5.61.Mizuho believes that the market generally views the delay of the U.S. crypto market structure bill, the Clarity Act, as bearish, but for BitGo, this could actually be an advantage. This is because BitGo already operates the first federally chartered digital asset trust bank owned by a public company, and its regulatory standing does not depend on the passage of new legislation.Analysts noted that the Clarity Act aims to establish a framework for the U.S. digital asset market structure and clarify the division of powers among different regulatory agencies. However, due to repeated negotiations on key issues, the bill has faced ongoing delays.In Mizuho's view, the longer regulatory uncertainty persists each quarter, the more BitGo's existing licenses and first-mover compliance advantages accumulate, and the higher the barriers for new entrants. In other words, the later regulation is finalized, the more "trusted and already licensed" becomes BitGo's core competitive strength.

Odaily News, Galaxy Research Head Alex Thorn stated on the X platform that attacks exploiting the Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability have noticeably declined, but cumulative losses continue to rise as more victims come forward. The impact of this incident on the Bitcoin community is significant, as the victims are primarily long-term BTC holders who adhered to self-custody cold storage principles, rather than those who lost assets due to high-risk trading or DeFi activities.At a scale of $112 million, this incident ranks among the top 20 largest hacks in crypto history and is one of the most severe security breaches in the hardware wallet self-custody sector to date. Bitcoin culture may be entering a new phase—the era of relying solely on ideological advocacy and extreme self-custody promotion is coming to an end. The community needs to place greater emphasis on technical security, lower the barrier to entry for users, and avoid simply shifting the burden of security responsibility onto ordinary users. This crisis may ultimately drive the Bitcoin ecosystem to establish a more mature security framework.Galaxy Research has directly contacted 190 victims and has confirmed with high confidence that the exploit has led to the theft of 1,778.84 BTC (approximately $112.7 million) from over 8,600 addresses. This tally does not yet include certain moderately credible suspicious attack records, such as the unconfirmed "Wave 4." If these potential attack scopes are incorporated, total losses could expand to 2,417.35 BTC (approximately $153 million).Meanwhile, the incident is reshaping market perceptions of self-custody security. Galaxy noted that multisig wallets have emerged as the "winners" of this event, with no stolen transactions traced to multisig wallets so far. Multisig service providers including Casa, Unchained, Nunchuk, and Anchorwatch have all observed a notable increase in user registrations and BTC inflows.
Odaily News: Goldman Sachs has disclosed the acquisition of ETF management firm NEOS Investments in a deal valued at up to $2.25 billion, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027 pending regulatory approval. The market views this move as a way for Goldman Sachs to quickly enter the Bitcoin yield ETF space, potentially putting it ahead of BlackRock in the Wall Street crypto asset competition.NEOS currently manages approximately $30 billion in assets, with its most notable product being the Bitcoin yield ETF BTCI (NEOS Bitcoin High Income ETF), which holds about $1.1 billion in assets. The fund generates monthly income for investors by holding Bitcoin-related ETFs and selling call options, currently offering a distribution yield of approximately 27%.Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that by acquiring NEOS, Goldman Sachs gains BTCI, effectively bypassing the need to build a similar product from scratch and "beating" BlackRock's previously launched Bitcoin yield ETF product, BITA.Goldman Sachs' deal is seen by the market as a new phase in Wall Street's crypto asset positioning. Industry insiders believe that Bitcoin spot ETFs represent the "first phase," while active management products based on Bitcoin, such as yield enhancement and options strategies, will become the focus of competition in the next phase.However, BTCI's high yield comes with risks. The product does not directly hold Bitcoin but instead generates returns by selling call options on Bitcoin-related ETFs, potentially sacrificing some upside when the market rallies. Analysts note that BTCI's net asset value has fallen approximately 43% over the past year, and part of its high distribution yield may come from return of capital.BlackRock has already launched a competing product, BITA, but its current scale is approximately $59 million, significantly lower than BTCI's roughly $1.1 billion in assets. The market is watching whether Goldman Sachs will maintain BTCI's existing structure after the acquisition is completed and further expand its competitive advantage in the Bitcoin yield product market.

Odaily News, Citrini analyst Zephyr posted on X platform questioning that SanDisk's HBF vs. HBM performance comparison at its Investor Day may contain parameter configuration bias, arguing that the company deliberately underestimated HBM performance in its demonstration.Zephyr pointed out that SanDisk set total bandwidth for both HBM and HBF at 12.8TB/s, while running the Qwen3-480B-A35B model with bfloat16. Current model inference more commonly uses FP4 or FP8, requiring approximately 240GB to 480GB of capacity.Zephyr also noted that SanDisk fixed HBM capacity at 192GB per GPU, but 16-layer HBM4E in an 8-stack configuration can reach 512GB capacity with approximately 32TB/s bandwidth—roughly three times the parameters used in SanDisk's demonstration. Zephyr believes these parameter choices result in the company's claim that "HBF requires only 1 to 4 GPUs, while HBM requires 8 GPUs" failing to adequately represent actual performance under higher-spec HBM configurations.

Odaily News, According to The Data Nerd's monitoring, a whale address (0x90B38) holding a large amount of HYPE tokens transferred approximately 923,743 HYPE tokens, valued at about $53.03 million, to exchanges over the past 11 hours. Among these, the address transferred 692,807 HYPE tokens, worth approximately $39.77 million, to Coinbase Prime, and 230,936 HYPE tokens, worth approximately $13.26 million, to FalconX.This transfer accounts for roughly two-thirds of the address's total HYPE holdings. Currently, the wallet still holds 969,595 HYPE tokens, valued at approximately $55.5 million.Analysts note that this move appears to be a systematic reduction in batches rather than a panic sell-off. The address did not liquidate its entire position at once but has been gradually transferring tokens to trading platforms, which may suggest an orderly exit strategy or portfolio rebalancing by the holder.
