The recent decline in bitcoin prices is primarily driven by expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan, uncertainty regarding the US Federal Reserve's rate cut trajectory, and systemic de-risking by market participants. Japan's potential rate hike may trigger the unwinding of global arbitrage trades, leading to a sell-off in risk assets. At the same time, increased uncertainty over US rate cuts has intensified market volatility. In addition, selling by long-term holders, miners, and market makers has further amplified the price drop.

- 06:42Former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Wang Jiangping: AI Scientific Discovery Faces a "Bottleneck" DilemmaJinse Finance reported that today, Wang Jiangping, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that there is currently a "barrier lake" dilemma in AI scientific discovery. He analyzed that AI's predictive achievements are growing at an exponential rate, while human verification and industrialization capabilities are only increasing linearly, resulting in a huge gap between the two. The predictions made by AI in one day would take humans 10 years or even longer to verify. This contradiction, like a "barrier lake," blocks the channel for scientific discoveries to be transformed into practical applications, causing a massive amount of predictive results to be unable to be experimentally verified and industrialized in a timely manner, and also occupying a large amount of scientific research and computing resources.
