Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 24 — According to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr), the discount for short-term Bitcoin holders (STH) has narrowed from -21.6% to -5.7%. The 7-day moving average of STH-SOPR has rebounded above 1.0, indicating that short-term sellers are no longer clearly at a loss. However, the current price is still below the $83,000 cost basis, and the market has not yet entered a true risk appetite phase.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 24 — According to CoinDesk, the overall crypto market weakened on Friday, with BTC hovering around $77,800. The upward trend that started from $65,000 on Wednesday has significantly slowed; ETH is reported at $2,300, down about 0.8% over 24 hours, performing weaker than BTC. The market pressure mainly comes from two factors: first, Japan's March corporate service price index rose 3.1% year-over-year, exceeding expectations, with core inflation also accelerating. The market anticipates the Bank of Japan may signal a rate hike at the next policy meeting, and a strengthening yen could trigger a global risk asset carry trade unwind; second, ongoing disturbances in the Strait of Hormuz caused by Iran's war have affected oil transportation, with WTI crude oil futures rising over 40% since the outbreak of the war to $96 per barrel. The U.S. Pentagon warns of clearing sea mines.

If a few years ago someone had told you, “When you review a new AI model in the future, you might not even have finished writing the draft before the next generation comes out,” you’d probably dismiss it as nonsense.
But now, this really is happening.
GPT-5.4 was released six weeks ago. Today, GPT-5.5 has already been pushed to paying users on ChatGPT.
This is not an ordinary version upgrade. OpenAI positions it as “a completely new tier of intelligence”—keeping inference latency comparable to GPT-5.4 in actual service, while achieving a “major leap” in intelligence level.
Put simply, it means: smarter, but faster.
Based on the feedback from everyone’s experiences so far, this time OpenAI may really be “turning the tables”!
01 “Faster” and “stronger”—this time, OpenAI wants both

In the 24/7 crypto contract market, execution capability is increasingly becoming a core competitive advantage. OneALPHA is the AI strategy tool of the OneBullEx platform, integrating strategy research, code generation, backtesting validation, parameter optimization, and deployment preparation within a single environment, offering natural language input and a Glass-Box transparent mechanism to create an auditable strategy workflow. It is linked with the 300 SPARTANS robot marketplace, promoting a continuous process from idea to execution, and will launch targeted testing on April 20, 2026.

This article criticizes San Francisco venture capitalists for overestimating companies to exit, packaging private assets to deceive retail investors and pension funds. The original social contract was that the stock market, through index funds, would serve as a welfare system and provide universal access to pensions, but now the public market only delivers value, while gains are intercepted by insiders. Rules like Nasdaq are used to amplify institutional buying and push retail investors into taking the risk. The tactics in the crypto and venture capital worlds are the same: insiders lock in at low prices, cash out at high after going public, and ordinary investors bear the risk. The result is increased wealth disparity, the public capital of ordinary people being harvested, and rising political conflicts.

The U.S. Department of Justice has arrested Army Sergeant Van Dyke, accusing him of profiting approximately $410k by using confidential information about Venezuela operations to place bets on Polymarket, with a principal of about $33k, involving four contracts. This is the DOJ's first insider trading case involving prediction markets, and also the CFTC's first lawsuit related to such contracts, based on the Eddie Murphy rule.

The AI storage boom has led to a surge in profits for Samsung and SK Hynix, but salary distribution conflicts have intensified. Samsung union held a rally in Pyeongtaek, demanding 15% of operating profit as chip bonuses with no cap, and a 7% salary increase; management proposed a 10% distribution and a 6.2% raise, which was rejected. If a strike lasts 18 days, daily losses could reach 1 trillion won. In comparison, SK Hynix's Q1 profits hit a record high, with higher employee bonuses, and the chip salary gap has sparked a talent competition.

Deep Tide Guide: Once training of large language models is complete, they’re effectively “frozen.” After deployment, they can only keep running with external patches such as context windows and RAG—essentially the same as the amnesiac patients in *Memento*: they can retrieve information but can’t truly learn new things. Two partners at a16z systematically map out the cutting-edge research direction of “continual learning,” breaking down this technical track—which could potentially redefine the ceiling of AI capabilities—into three paths: context, modules, and weight updates.

In April, the U.S. Department of Justice announced actions against Southeast Asian scam networks, charging Chinese management personnel Huang Xingshan and Jiang Wenjie at the Myanmar Shunda scam center for suspected forced laborers to participate in cryptocurrency investment scams; they have been arrested in Thailand. More than 6,000 fan Telegram channels and 503 fake investment domain names have been seized, more than $700 million worth of cryptocurrencies involved have been frozen, victims have been notified, and potential losses of approximately $563 million have been averted. It also announced a maximum $10 million bounty and imposed sanctions on relevant individuals and entities in Cambodia. In 2025, losses from crypto scams in the U.S. and Canada reached $7.2 billion, up 24% year over year.
