Peter Brandt Reviews Tom Lee’s Bitcoin Bullishness: ‘Cannot Trust Those Fixated on Their Position’

Beating AI Flash News: The New York Times, New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, and Orlando Sentinel have filed two separate lawsuits against Brave, alleging that the company scraped news content without authorization, then provided it via paid APIs to AI firms including Anthropic, Perplexity, and Mistral for model training or generating user responses. Brave’s LLM Context API can directly return full webpage text. Plaintiffs’ tests found that for a 1,295-word New York Times article, the API returned 1,291 words, nearly the full text. Brave’s in-house AI search is also accused of mass copying news content. The browser also features a built-in paywall blocker that helps users bypass some media’s paywalls. Brave’s search engine has indexed over 30 billion web pages, but its crawlers do not identify themselves, instead masquerading as regular browsers to access sites. Brave explained that some websites only allow Google to crawl content, so it uses this approach to avoid being blocked. Previously, Brave had sued News Corp, parent company of The Wall Street Journal, arguing that search indexes and summaries constitute fair use. News Corp filed a counterclaim in July this year. Now the four newspapers are seeking a court order to halt Brave’s relevant practices and award damages.

Oracle’s financing documents were made public overnight, with plans to raise a total of $20 billion—$10 billion each via common stock issuance and senior notes. According to TradingBeats’ monitoring, roughly five and a half hours later, three addresses suspected to be controlled by the same entity sequentially opened short positions on ORCL, totaling approximately $3.6923 million in notional short exposure at a weighted average price of $120.36.

According to TradingBeats monitoring, a large whale wallet starting with 0x469e holds a ZEC short position valued at roughly $8.041 million, with an average entry price of $1,180.11, currently yielding an unrealized profit of around $351,000. While holding a sizeable short position, the whale has set up a buy plan exceeding its current position size. Early this morning, it added 99 regular limit buy orders in the $1,055–$1,100 range, targeting approximately 10,000 ZEC, with a total order value of about $10.775 million. ZEC is currently priced at $1,130.9, with the buy zone sitting 2.7% to 6.7% below the spot price. If all these buy orders are filled and no other position adjustments occur, the account will first close its short position to lock in profits, then flip to build a long position of around 2,889 ZEC. Separately, the account has another trading plan on the upside. Early this morning, it also placed 2,999 regular sell orders at $1,200, worth roughly $3.599 million, which is about 6.1% above the current price, with the plan to add more short positions after a price rebound. If this sell order is filled first, the existing short position will expand to approximately 10,100 ZEC.

Senior Iranian officials said mediators are working to narrow the differences between Tehran and Washington, but the two sides remain far from reaching an agreement to end the conflict. The official added that Tehran will not accept excessive U.S. demands and is prepared to strongly respond to U.S. strikes in the Middle East and beyond. For the U.S. to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, it must meet Tehran's conditions before nuclear negotiations can begin. (Jinshi)
