Pantera Capital CEO recently issued a major warning to the cryptocurrency market, stating that as more countries begin to focus on and potentially purchase Bitcoin, global demand is likely to surpass the circulating supply in the future, and the true parabolic rise of Bitcoin may not have arrived yet. This assessment has quickly sparked widespread discussion about Bitcoin's long-term price trend. He described the current trend as a "global Bitcoin arms race." Given that the total supply of Bitcoin is strictly limited to 21 million coins, any sustained buying at the sovereign or central bank level will cause substantial supply pressure in the market. Once multiple countries enter the market simultaneously, the circulating supply will rapidly decrease, potentially pushing Bitcoin's price up quickly and passively.

According to Jinse Finance, Tether is supporting the development of a new type of industrial humanoid robot that will take on dangerous and physically demanding jobs in factories and logistics centers. The stablecoin issuer, together with AMD Ventures, an Italian state-backed artificial intelligence fund, and other investors, participated in a €70 million financing round for Generative Bionics, a new spin-off from the Italian Institute of Technology. This company, founded just a year ago, is developing "physical AI" humanoid robots designed to operate in environments built for humans, handling heavy lifting, transportation, and repetitive tasks that are difficult for traditional robotic arms to perform. For Tether, this investment is part of a strategy described by its CEO Paolo Ardoino as a "shift towards supporting digital and physical infrastructure."
