A mysterious whale has made another purchase of 243,713 HYPE tokens over the past 10 hours, worth approximately $20.24 million.

Prominent crypto trader Doctor Profit said bearish sentiment for Bitcoin is likely to intensify in the coming days, putting greater pressure on bulls. He believes the market may use short-term price volatility to flush out late bullish entrants and weak-handed holders. Doctor Profit projects BTC will consolidate in a range of $71,000 to $82,000, with $71,000 as the range floor and $82,000 as the key resistance to break. He remains bullish on BTC’s eventual upside breakout, regardless of whether it comes on the first or third attempt. Doctor Profit emphasized that he is currently not shorting or selling, and continues to hold his spot positions established around $62,000.

Beating AI Insight News Brief: OpenAI has fixed 8 issues in Codex that caused extra usage quota consumption, and reset quotas for all paid Codex and ChatGPT Work users. Tibo noted that, depending on usage patterns, the same quota is now expected to last 10% to 50% longer. The `/goal` command is the most token-intensive feature; some completed tasks failed to stop properly, with individual instances consuming 15% to 70% of weekly quota. The Computer History function, which repeatedly summarizes past operations, also consumes roughly 20% of weekly quota in some cases. Additional excess consumption has been observed in image compression, background memory, automated tasks, sub-agents, and MCP. The weekend’s good news for Codex users may not end here. Yesterday, Tibo teased that Codex was approaching a new user milestone and hinted at a celebration. Following today’s bug fixes and quota reset, he stated: “The button has been pressed today, so the celebration is moved to tomorrow.” In the past, Codex has offered quota resets when hitting milestones like 15 million and 20 million users, making another reset highly likely tomorrow.

According to Lookonchain’s monitoring, crypto KOL Unipcs (@theunipcs) currently holds an unrealized profit of roughly $2.48 million on PONS, with a 37x return. The KOL previously spent 67,304 USDG to purchase 10.96 million PONS tokens and has not sold any of the holdings to date; the position is now valued at approximately $2.55 million.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost said that during Bitcoin’s recent surge to $80,000, the average unrealized profit of short-term holders (STH) once approached 15%. The group’s current average cost basis is estimated at around $70,100, hitting the highest profitability level since July 2025. Darkfost argues that when short-term holders’ profits reach this zone, their position stability usually drops, and some investors may choose to take profits. Therefore, Bitcoin’s temporary stagnation near $80,000 is not unexpected, as short-term profit-taking could become a pressure that needs to be absorbed for further price gains.

Polygon has disclosed multiple security vulnerabilities affecting its Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network, targeting the Bor and Heimdall clients, which could lead to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, validator resource exhaustion, and abnormal checkpoint and milestone processing. Fixes for these flaws have been deployed to the mainnet via the recently completed Austin and Kyoto hard forks. The most critical vulnerability resides in Heimdall, where attackers can craft special transactions to force validators to execute an excessive number of processing tasks, thereby disrupting network operations. The Austin hard fork also patched two DoS risks in Bor, which could have resulted in reduced block processing speeds or node crashes. Polygon noted that no exploitation of these vulnerabilities has been detected on the mainnet, and the team proactively completed the fixes before publicly disclosing technical details. All Polygon PoS nodes must run Bor v2.10.0, while validators and full nodes also need to upgrade to Heimdall v0.11.0; nodes still running older versions have fallen out of consensus and must update to rejoin the mainnet.
