Yi Lihua: The current market environment is similar to that of 2019; focus on bottom-fishing opportunities in the secondary market and investment opportunities in the primary market.

Yi Lihua, founder of Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital), posted on social media, "The war is confirmed to be over. There are no inside stories, and neither side has any reason to continue fighting. We'll see where to take profits after the rebound. This year's cryptocurrency market is very similar to 2019. Secondary liquidity has plummeted, primary investment confidence is almost nonexistent, Web3 companies are laying off large numbers of employees, and many industry professionals are switching careers. Be greedy when others are fearful. This year is definitely the best time to buy the dip in the secondary market and invest in the primary market, just like in 2019. Institutions that bought the dip in the secondary market and invested in the primary market in 2019 were the biggest winners in the 2020 bull market, and we are working hard to do both of these things well."

Crypto hedge fund Split Capital has returned funds to external investors, and founder Zaheer Ebtikar has announced his joining stablecoin startup Plasma as Chief Strategy Officer. Ebtikar stated that the fund achieved approximately 100% returns in 2024 and 20% in 2025, and its assets under management once reached "eight figures" in US dollars.

Plasma is preparing to launch a consumer-facing stablecoin application, positioning itself as a competitor to new types of banks such as SoFi and Revolut.

The Ministry of State Security warns of the risks of "word-based scams": speculation on "staking on words" and "over-the-counter trading" may involve illegal financial activities.

According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the Ministry of State Security recently issued a statement pointing out that with the surge in the use of AI "tokens," various scams using gimmicks such as "token investment," "get rich quick by hoarding tokens," and "profit from over-the-counter trading" have frequently emerged. Some of these activities are suspected of being illegal financial activities and may even be used by foreign intelligence agencies to steal data and infiltrate funds, endangering national economic and data security. The article emphasizes that tokens are essentially digital identity credentials and carriers of AI billing and rights, not investment products. It warns the public to be wary of low-priced token packages, so-called token wealth management, and mining projects, and to avoid logging in, transferring funds, or filling in private information in insecure network environments. If any abnormalities are discovered, the public should promptly stop the losses and report to the relevant authorities.

The US government has already proposed supporting the establishment of industry information-sharing mechanisms in its AI action plan, while US companies are seeking clearer compliance guidance under antitrust rules.
