Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.TOP (莱比特矿池), noted in a post that on the first U.S. stock trading day after the weekend’s sharp rally, ETF fund flows are a key indicator to monitor. Data shows Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $314 million, while Ethereum ETFs recorded a net inflow of $180 million. U.S. stock funds are piling into longs, meaning this rally has been further confirmed by capital, making it highly unlikely for Bitcoin to fall back below its $67,000 starting point. Additionally, Ethereum ETF inflows equal 57.2% of Bitcoin’s inflows, a figure significantly higher than ETH’s 18.8% share of the total BTC market cap. Based on this, he believes ETH will continue to act as the "engine" of this bull market. With Trump’s strong embrace of blockchain and the advancement of the CLARITY Act, financial assets including the U.S. dollar, U.S. stocks, and U.S. Treasuries may become further on-chain, tokenized, and smart-contract integrated in the future. He holds that this will drive more traditional finance professionals to understand and invest in related blockchain ecosystems.

Beating AI News Insight: Zhipu AI has confirmed that Ox Alpha is a new version of its GLM series, with the model’s weights set to be released publicly tonight. Earlier, the community had already identified Ox Alpha as Zhipu’s work via clues such as API error logs and tokenizer details, and this has now been officially verified. Ox Alpha anonymously launched on OpenRouter over the weekend, focusing on programming and long-duration agent tasks, while supporting inputs of text, images, and videos. Shortly after its launch, it rose to become the most-used model on OpenRouter, with usage volume twice that of DeepSeek. OpenRouter described this as the largest model release in the platform’s history. Multimodality is a notable shift here: Zhipu previously separated its core GLM models from GLM-V visual models – for instance, GLM-5 only supported text, while images and videos were handled by models like GLM-5V-Turbo. This time, Ox Alpha is confirmed as a new GLM version that can process both images and videos. If the final official model name drops the "V" suffix, it would mark Zhipu’s move to merge its two model lines. Ox Alpha will stay free for one week; post-period pricing has not been announced.
