Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood renews defense of Elon Musk’s $56B Tesla pay plan

Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood renews defense of Elon Musk’s $56B Tesla pay plan

The post Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood renews defense of Elon Musk’s $56B Tesla pay plan appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ark Invest founder, Cathie Wood, has voiced her continued support for Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Wood went public on X to criticize the proxy advisory firms and a Delaware court’s decision to void Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package.  In a post on X, Wood described the influence of proxy firms on shareholder votes as “sad, if not damning,” arguing that index funds “do no fundamental research” and yet they “dominate institutional voting.” Wood renews her support for Elon Musk  Ark Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood has renewed her defense of Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package. She has also spoken against institutional investors and proxy advisory firms for opposing it.  “Index-based investing is a form of socialism,” she wrote, adding that the investment system in the U.S. is broken. Her posts are in response to a post from Ark Invest promoting an episode of The Brainstorm, the firm’s video series, in which Wood urged the appeals court handling Musk’s case to “do the right thing.” In January when Musk’s 2018 pay package, initially valued at around $56B, was voided by a Delaware Chancery Court after a shareholder lawsuit argued that the board had failed to act independently in approving it, Wood criticized the decision calling it “un-American.”  ‘Retail investors will dominate the vote once again’ In a follow-up post made on Sunday, Wood emphasized that Tesla’s growing presence in major stock indexes would not necessarily alter the outcome of a new shareholder vote on Musk’s compensation. “When shareholders first voted on @elonmusk’s 2018 pay package, #Tesla was not in any index, and the pay package won decisively,” she said. “In the second vote, forced by an activist Delaware judge, $TSLA was 1.2% of the S&P 500, and the pay package won decisively. Now $TSLA is 2.4% of the…

Musk pitches xAI's Grok against competition with AI generation, detection upgrades

Musk pitches xAI's Grok against competition with AI generation, detection upgrades

The post Musk pitches xAI's Grok against competition with AI generation, detection upgrades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Elon Musk’s xAI has updated its large language model, Grok, with enhanced video generation and forensic analysis capabilities.  Musk announced several new features for Grok through his social media platform on X Monday,  confirming that users can create videos on Grok Imagine by adding prompts to an existing clip created by the LLM.  Now you can easily riff on videos posted to 𝕏. Grok Imagine prompt modification: “Add a dog and a robot girlfriend” pic.twitter.com/o6LABvaNLf — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 20, 2025 Each Grok Imagine video now includes a link leading directly to the source video and its accompanying prompt for anyone to replicate or modify the same visual scene. “Any Grok Imagine video now takes you to that video with the prompt used to create it,” Musk wrote. “Easily learn from and riff on the prompts of interesting videos by tapping on the make your own video button.” The xAI CEO has been making several announcements and responding to posts from tech and AI enthusiast amXFreeze, who had initially unveiled Grok Imagine could generate immersive first-person-view (FPV) videos “nearly instantly.”  Updates to Grok to include authenticity checks  Musk’s team of developers is reportedly seeking to add new forensic capabilities to verify AI-generated media and differentiate it from live recordings. According to xAI, Grok will soon include a detection module that analyzes video bitstreams for signs of AI generation.  The LLM could be used to identify compression quirks, metadata inconsistencies, and generative artifacts that the human eye can fail to detect. It will cross-reference provenance trails and online footprints to confirm a video’s source and verify its authenticity.  “It’s a critical capability for truth-seeking and bringing back trust in what’s real,” amXFreeze noted in an update that was reposted by Musk himself.

Ethereum AI Agent Economy's Dual Engines: ERC-8004's "Highway" and Virtuals' "Commercial Assembly Line"

Ethereum AI Agent Economy's Dual Engines: ERC-8004's "Highway" and Virtuals' "Commercial Assembly Line"

A few days ago, @brucexu_eth reminded me to pay attention to Ethereum’s ERC8004 proposal. It seems that the Ethereum community has begun preparing for the arrival of on-chain AI agent economies. Simply put, ERC8004 aims to create a "trustless AI agent" on the Ethereum ecosystem, introducing three on-chain registries: identity, reputation, and validation. In this way, AI agents can discover each other, verify tasks, and interact on the chain without trust. In other words, it allows AI agents to play with each other on their own. It is a decentralized A2A system that enables AI agents to collaborate across organizations. This seems to be conceptually similar to Virtuals' ACP protocol. Both focus on the construction, interaction, and economic ecology of decentralized AI agents; both are building an autonomous ecosystem for AI agents; both emphasize encryption as the basis for trust and settlement (ERC-8004 uses ERC-721 tokens as agent identities, supports real-time stablecoin payments (combined with EIP-3009 and HTTP 402), and ensures task verification through re-staking and zero-knowledge proofs; Virtuals' ACP provides a framework that supports AI agents to communicate autonomously on and off-chain, coordinate tasks and interactions, without the need for intermediaries or permissions. On-chain smart contracts handle core interactions, and off-chain APIs or P2P networks support high-frequency data exchange (real-time messages, calculation results, etc.); ACP assigns an on-chain identity to each AI agent and uses a bonding curve mechanism for pricing and trading. However, the relationship between the two is mainly complementary rather than competitive. ERC-8004 is a protocol standard (draft as of August 2025, unfinalized), similar to ERC-20, that aims to define universal rules for AI agent interaction across the Ethereum ecosystem, with a focus on underlying trust mechanisms and interoperability. ERC-8004 attracts developers to build cross-organizational AI agent ecosystems through standardized identity, reputation, and verification mechanisms. Virtuals provides an out-of-the-box platform for users (including non-developers) to quickly create and monetize AI agents. Different users may choose different entry points. Some who want to quickly launch AI agents may choose Virtuals due to its simplicity (starting with 100 VIRTUAL tokens). ERC-8004 aims to become a foundational trust infrastructure, making Ethereum a neutral, trusted settlement layer for AI agent coordination. From simple social bots to complex, institutional-grade AI hedge fund strategies, they can all interact and verify securely and transparently on this foundation. Virtuals' vision is to foster a vibrant AI economy, focusing on rapidly building a thriving AI agent market and community through low-barrier agent creation, tokenized co-ownership, and a rich set of application scenarios (such as AI companions, traders, and game characters). Virtuals ACP is akin to a "business assembly line": at its core, the ACP protocol defines a complete "business process" for complex business collaborations between AI agents. From request initiation, negotiating terms, executing trades, to final evaluation, it acts like an assembly line, dictating how business is completed. This "assembly line" can be built on the "foundation of trust" provided by ERC-8004. Therefore, from a broader perspective, ERC-8004 is the underlying standard, defining the trust and interaction rules for AI agents. Virtuals is the application layer, and many of Virtuals' features (such as agent identity and task verification) can be directly implemented on ERC-8004. The Ethereum Foundation and Virtuals are currently collaborating to achieve ecosystem synergy. For example, Virtuals' agent market can leverage ERC-8004's on-chain registry to enhance cross-chain interoperability and attract more developers to the Virtuals platform. Furthermore, both are working to expand the "AI agent economy." ERC-8004 lowers the development barrier through standards, attracting institutions and large developers; Virtuals attracts ordinary users and creators through low-cost entry. To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, ERC-8004 is more like a "highway network standard," specifying road widths, markings, and signal systems. Virtuals, on the other hand, is a "smart logistics and commerce company" operating on this highway, with its own fleet (AI agents) and dispatching system (ACP protocol). It can access the larger network through the ERC8004 standard.

Breaking: FLOKI Price Rockets as Elon Musk Posts X Meme

Breaking: FLOKI Price Rockets as Elon Musk Posts X Meme

The post Breaking: FLOKI Price Rockets as Elon Musk Posts X Meme appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: FLOKI price rockets more than 15% today, sparking optimism among traders. The surge comes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned the meme coin in a X post. Musk is well known for moving meme coins like SHIB, DOGE, and others, through his social media posts. When Elon Musk posts a meme, markets still move. On Monday, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO fired up X with another of his trademark crypto-laced jokes. He declared, “Floki is back on the job as X CEO,” and the FLOKI price responded, fueling a surge in the Floki token’s trading volume. Within minutes, the post had racked up millions of views. Traders took it as the green light for another Musk-fueled meme mania. The FLOKI price spiked more than 15% following the post. Elon Musk and the Meme Magic Lives On Elon Musk’s relationship with memecoins goes back years. In 2021, he posted a picture of his Shiba Inu puppy, simply captioned “Floki has arrived,” sending an obscure token named after his dog soaring by over 1,000% in two days. This was no isolated event. Tweets like “Dogecoin is the people’s crypto” and “Baby Doge, doo, doo” have historically sparked record surges in Dogecoin and other meme tokens. The latest Floki post harks back to those meme-filled heydays. When a single emoji from Elon Musk could swing billions in the crypto market cap. While his influence had seemed to wane through 2024 as traders grew more cynical, Monday’s reaction suggests the market still has a soft spot for his mix of humor, chaos, and capitalism. Floki Price: From Meme to Movement For those new to the saga, Floki began as a memecoin inspired by Musk’s actual dog but evolved into something more enduring. Powered by a community that calls itself the “Floki Vikings,”…

Why October’s Pain May Not Be Over

Why October’s Pain May Not Be Over

The post Why October’s Pain May Not Be Over appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has been turbulent in October, with altcoin market capitalization dropping another 15%, and the month isn’t even over yet. Could this downturn worsen before October ends? Recent data and analyses reveal clues investors can use to assess risks and opportunities during this sensitive period. Sponsored Over 70,000 Altcoin Inflow Transactions Could Deepen the Decline The decline is not just a result of short-term volatility. It also reflects rising sell pressure and weakening demand from investors. One of the clearest signals is the sharp increase in the number of altcoins sent to exchanges, which reached its highest level this year. Data from CryptoQuant shows that the 7-day average of altcoin inflow transactions has surpassed 70,000. Earlier in 2025, similar spikes in inflow activity coincided with major price drops in Bitcoin and altcoins. Altcoin Exchange Inflow. Source: CryptoQuant. “Transactions sending alts to exchanges just hit a new YTD high, signaling rising sell pressure — or traders gearing up for the next big rotation,” Coin Bureau noted. A rising volume of altcoins moving to exchanges might indicate redistribution rather than immediate price declines. However, stablecoin data helps complete the picture of market sentiment. Sponsored Weakening Stablecoin Inflows Signal Diminished Buying Power CryptoQuant’s Stablecoin CEX Flow data shows that while netflow remains positive, it has dropped sharply since mid-September and is now approaching zero in October. Fewer stablecoins moving to exchanges suggest a decline in potential buying power. Combined with the surge in altcoin supply on exchanges, this imbalance could amplify downside pressure. Stablecoin CEX Flow. Source: CryptoQuant. In late 2024, a similar drop in stablecoin netflow preceded a broad market correction. Sponsored The USDT.D index, which tracks Tether’s dominance in total market capitalization, supports this argument. It has risen above 5%, indicating that stablecoins are not being deployed to increase…

Bitcoin falls below $110,000, will the market turn bearish?

Bitcoin falls below $110,000, will the market turn bearish?

Written by: 1912212.eth, Foresight News After the October 11th crash, widespread market concerns about a potential second dip surfaced, and just days later, another plunge struck. Bitcoin, which rebounded from $116,000 on October 17th, experienced four consecutive daily declines. At around 4:00 PM today, it dipped to around $104,500, within striking distance of the October 11th crash low of $102,000. Ether (ETH) was also not immune, plummeting to $3,706, and Sol (SOL) to around $175. A host of altcoins saw widespread declines. Coinglass data shows that over the past 24 hours, open interest across the entire network has reached $1.189 billion, with $935 million in long positions liquidated. The largest single liquidation occurred on Hyperliquid's ETH-USD exchange, valued at $20.4274 million. Alternative data shows that the market panic index has fallen to 22, indicating extreme panic. US BTC and ETH spot ETFs both saw significant net outflows Since the crash, US BTC spot ETFs have shown significant net outflows. Between October 10 and 16, only October 14th saw a net inflow of $102.58 million, while the rest of the period saw net outflows. On October 1st, net outflows exceeded $536 million, a new low since August. The outlook for Ethereum spot ETFs is also not optimistic, with large net outflows occurring since October 9. On October 13, the net outflow exceeded $428 million, setting a new record for net outflows since September this year. The crash has left market confidence fragile DeFiance Capital, which had prospered in the previous cycle by betting on multiple DeFi projects, suffered losses in this crash. On October 14th, its founder, Arthur, posted on social media, "We're fine. The fund experienced some losses, but they weren't among our top five biggest profit and loss days. I'm just extremely angry and disappointed. This crash has set the entire crypto space back significantly, especially for the altcoin market, as most price discovery occurs on offshore CEXs." He even pessimistically believes that the crash marks the end of the encryption era. The previously popular trend of treasury DATs has also died down. Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, the largest Ethereum holding company, said the bubble may have burst. Previously, on September 9, 2025, Nasdaq-listed QMMM Holdings announced plans to invest $100 million in a cryptocurrency reserve, leading to a 9.6-fold increase in its stock price within three weeks. At the end of September, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suspended trading of the company, effective September 29, based on allegations that the company was manipulating its stock price through social media platforms. The suspension remains in effect. Caixin visited its Hong Kong headquarters on October 16th and found the office deserted. Upon contacting staff at another nearby company, they stated that the company had relocated in September and were unaware of the relocation. Changpeng Zhao commented on this, saying, “All crypto treasury (DAT) companies should use third-party crypto custodians and have their accounts audited by investors.” Small US banks collapse as market sells first Two regional U.S. banks, Zions Bancorp and Western Alliance Bancorp, disclosed losses Thursday from fraud involving distressed commercial mortgage investment funds. While the losses were relatively small compared to other recent credit defaults, amounting to only tens of millions of dollars, the market reaction was dramatic. Germany's DAX index fell 2.13%, Britain's FTSE 100 index fell 1.6%, Nikkei 225 index fell 1.44%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.81%, and all three major U.S. stock index futures fell. Panic spread quickly, dragging down the entire banking sector, with the total market value of 74 large US banks wiping out more than $100 billion in one day. This "sell now, see later" mentality quickly spread. JPMorgan analysts Anthony Elian and Michael Pietrini wrote in a report that they also questioned "why all these credit 'isolation' events seem to have occurred in such a short period of time." However, the sell-off did not spare large bank stocks, with shares of Citigroup and Bank of America both falling by more than 3%. The 2023 US banking crisis also triggered a sharp correction in the crypto market. Will the market turn bearish in the future? Chris Burniske, partner at Placeholder VC, wrote, “It increasingly feels like last Friday’s plunge has caused the crypto market to stagnate in the short term. After such a crash, it’s difficult to quickly form sustained buying. This cycle has been disappointing for most people, which may limit their actions because everyone is looking forward to a market recovery or previous historical highs. It’s easy to get caught up in the details of the chart, but if you look at the monthly charts of BTC and ETH, it shows that we are still in the high range (although there are cracks), if you are considering taking profits. MSTR is falling, gold is warning, as are credit markets, and stocks will be the last to react. We can always get a weak rebound, but I've already taken action (remember, cashing out is never all or nothing). I'll watch how BTC reacts to $100,000, but I might become interested again if it reaches $75,000 or lower. This bull market is different from the last, and the next bear market won't be either." Arete Capital partner McKenna said the market is in the process of forming a bottom, which takes 40-60 days to establish. All price action within this interval is a volatile washout. "In mid-November, we should begin to expect constructive results and a positive December and first quarter of 2026." glassnode tweeted that Bitcoin is currently in a key support range, with the price below the 200-day moving average ($107,400) and just above the 365-day moving average ($99,900). At the same time, there is also pressure from the 111-day moving average ($114,700) above it. If the 365-day moving average can be held, the trend may stabilize; if it falls below this level, there may be a risk of a deeper correction. Weiss Crypto suggests that around October 17th, the market may begin to rebound from its lows. By December of this year, the price of Bitcoin could reach a new high of nearly $135,000.

Astra Nova Targeted in Market Maker Account Breach

Astra Nova Targeted in Market Maker Account Breach

The post Astra Nova Targeted in Market Maker Account Breach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Hacked market maker account led to a huge sell-off of RVV tokens. RVV price plummets by over 69%. Community doubts arise, questioning insider involvement. Astra Nova’s third-party market maker account was breached, resulting in a substantial sell-off of RVV tokens on October 19, leading to a significant drop in RVV’s value. The incident raises concerns over security practices in the cryptocurrency sector, with implications for market trust and the stability of Astra Nova’s operations. Massive RVV Token Sell-Off Causes 69% Price Plunge Following the breach, Astra Nova’s team quickly notified exchange partners to halt further damage. They reaffirmed the security of the project’s smart contracts and infrastructure. There is a commitment to transparency as the incident is examined. On-chain data indicates approximately 890 million RVV tokens were offloaded, equivalent to around 8.6% of the total supply. This resulted in a $10.3M loss, highlighting the severe effect on token valuation. The price fell from $0.26 to approximately $0.0103. Community backlash followed, with well-known blockchain analyst EmberCN expressing skepticism over typical hacker behavior, suggesting potential insider activity. “Which hacker would convert stolen assets into USDT and hold onto them? And even transfer them directly to a CEX? USDT can be frozen, and going straight to a CEX—where are there hackers this foolish?” — EmberCN, Blockchain Analyst The company’s official statement offered a bounty for funds returned, amplifying doubts about internal involvement. Insider Speculation Intensifies in Astra Nova Breach Fallout Did you know? In crypto history, similar breaches of market maker accounts, like the Mango Markets incident, frequently lead to immediate asset liquidation and long recovery phases, mirroring Astra Nova’s current challenges. According to CoinMarketCap, Astra Nova’s RVV token fell to $0.01 with a market cap of $11.59 million. Trading volume skyrocketed 378.14% to $136.32 million, reflecting sharp investor reactions amid…
