Odaily Planet Daily News: Cobo Co-founder 神鱼 (DiscusFish) posted on X platform stating that Manus founder 肖弘 is a Bitcoin holder. 神鱼 recalled that 肖弘 participated in work related to壹比特 as an intern at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2013. He stated that over more than a decade, from Bitcoin to AI Agent, the industry landscape has continuously evolved, and company boundaries have gradually blurred; in the early days, it was more important to identify people with ideas, execution capability and growth speed, and establish connections.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Leon Waidmann, Head of Onchain Research, posted on the X platform stating that the expansion speed of crypto payments has exceeded most people's expectations. According to Dune Analytics data, Visa crypto card spending grew 525% in 2025, with net spending increasing from 14.6 million dollars to 91.3 million dollars. He believes that consumer payments are just the beginning, with the larger transformation coming from the enterprise side. Enterprises are managing payments and collections on-chain, seamlessly converting between cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies, running on-chain treasuries, and generating yields from idle balances. Data confirms that cryptocurrencies have been used for actual payments rather than limited to trading alone. Card payments eliminate friction and reduce complexity, and on-chain balances are increasingly performing like money. Cryptocurrency is transitioning from an alternative to the financial system to its foundation.
