Alliance co-founder Imran Khan stated that the crypto market may become segmented, and Base has not truly "failed." He believes Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev is better suited for targeting retail and speculative trading users, understanding their trading preferences, and building high-retention products; whereas Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has long championed the Bitcoin and crypto financial freedom ethos, making him more suitable for developing on-chain financial infrastructure, such as payments, custody, institutional access, stablecoin payments, and on-chain business applications for startups.

Odaily News, Imran Khan posted on X, stating that for most users, the public chain itself will become secondary; what matters is the upper-layer products that serve end users. Launch platforms are being commoditized, and platforms with the deepest network effects or those that carve out niche markets through differentiation are more likely to win—such as stock trading pairs. On-chain frontends, lending, swap routing, cross-chain bridges, and most trading infrastructure are eroding single-platform stickiness and community identity. User stickiness will shift to the party that owns the user relationship.

According to Fortune, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in an interview with Fox Business that the AI wave will not destroy jobs but instead create hundreds of thousands of new positions. He specifically noted that with the massive construction of infrastructure such as semiconductor fabs and AI data centers, trades like electricians, plumbers, and technicians will see a surge in demand. Huang predicted this will be the "largest infrastructure buildout in human history." NVIDIA has already committed to providing up to $105 billion in financial support for a new OpenAI data center in Ohio. However, the U.S. faces a severe shortage of skilled trades workers, with an estimated 2.1 million trade positions expected to remain vacant by 2030. In response, Blackstone, Ford, Google, and other companies have jointly launched the "U.S. Skilled Trades Alliance," aiming to expand skills training across 30 states nationwide.

Odaily News: Imran, co-founder of Alliance, stated on X that Farcaster is a valuable infrastructure and application experiment, but a decentralized social graph alone is insufficient to attract users away from traditional social platforms like X.He believes the direction truly worth focusing on is social trading—integrating new token discovery, speculative trading, and PnL reputation into a native product loop, a model that is currently difficult for traditional social platforms like X and Instagram to replicate. Additionally, Imran summarized this product evolution path as MetaMask → Phantom → Farcaster → Moonshot → Vector → Fomo/Pump, noting that each generation of products further reveals what crypto users genuinely care about.Previously, Neynar co-founder Rish Mukherji posted on X that the team has initiated a process to find new ownership or operational teams for Farcaster, Clanker, and Neynar.
