Jiang Zhuoer: ZEC is clearly a "whale coin" and will not participate in trading.

Jiang Zhuoer, founder of ViaBTC, stated in a post that after ZEC dropped to $1,445, Garrett Jin—previously the agent of the so-called "BTC OG insider whale"—shorted ZEC, sparking market speculation that he was deliberately creating a counterparty to draw retail investors into going long. Now that the "target" (his massive spot holdings) has disappeared after he revealed his large spot positions, his roughly 200,000 ZEC holdings (accounting for ~1% of total supply) could become potential selling pressure, leading to the conclusion that this round of ZEC rally may be nearing its end. Facing such a whale-manipulated coin, given the information disadvantage against the counterparty, he will not participate in trading it.

Beating AI News: Silicon Flow, a third-party AI inference infrastructure firm that converts computing power and models into directly callable token-based services, announced the completion of the second phase of its B+ round and C round financing.

Based on 2025 annual token throughput, Silicon Flow ranks fourth among all token suppliers in China, holding a mere 1.5% market share. The top three players—Volcano Engine, Alibaba Cloud, and Baidu Intelligent Cloud—hold 42.7%, 32.5%, and 11.8% respectively, together accounting for around 87% of the market. The latest round has a strong state-owned capital background, with new investors including China Internet Investment Fund, Guoxin Fund, China Mobile’s Chain Length Fund, and China Orient Asset Management International, while existing investors Yaotu Capital, Shengyi Capital, and Cathaya Capital made follow-on investments. Silicon Flow reported 2025 revenue of 55.33 million yuan, a net loss of 345 million yuan, and an overall gross margin of -24%. The company submitted an application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by the end of June, currently seeking a main board listing under Chapter 18C for pre-commercial companies. Beijing has recently released the country’s first provincial-level special policy on token economy, explicitly proposing to build a "world-class token factory" and listing key priorities including inference engines, model-chip adaptation, and heterogeneous computing power.
