BlockBeats news, February 13, Openclaw founder Peter Steinberger recently confirmed in an interview with Lex Fridman that Openclaw has received several acquisition offers from multiple companies. Regarding potential financing worth hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, Steinberger stated, "I am simply not interested. I have been a CEO once, and that path would consume all my time and bring about conflicts of interest, such as prioritizing the enterprise version or modifying the open-source license, which would harm the community. What I want is completely free and open source without any conditions."

Additionally, Steinberger mentioned that Openclaw is currently losing money. Monthly revenue is between 10,000 and 20,000 dollars, but it subsidizes personal maintenance of dependent projects. Companies like OpenAI provide some support, but it is still unsustainable.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, DeFiance Capital CEO Arthur posted on X that the cryptocurrency market has completely transformed: from a valuation system supported by venture capital and focused on growth, to one centered on short-term cash flow generation, as this is the most likely path to bring substantial returns to investors. Investors who have not understood this shift will only consume capital endlessly.

Arthur: "The venture capital model for cryptocurrency is dead, while cash flow cryptocurrency will live on. In the future, all new projects I invest in must be pure cash flow businesses, capable of recouping all invested capital within 6 to 12 months and achieving a return of 3 to 5 times based solely on cash flow. Any concept projects that only hype growth will no longer work."

On February 12, 2026, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) officially released Announcement No. 9182-26, announcing the list of members of the Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC).

If you think this is just a routine list of "external brains" for regulatory agencies, you're sorely mistaken.

This list, which brings together traditional financial giants, leading platforms in the crypto industry, DeFi infrastructure providers, top venture capital firms, and academic representatives, is not simply the formation of an industry advisory group, but a key step in the implementation of the CFTC's collaborative regulatory framework for innovative financial markets based on the Federal Advisory Committee Act.

He emphasized that the company will continue to buy BTC and repurchase stocks. Additionally, Armstrong highlighted that the company's diversified development is doing well, with strong growth momentum in subscription services and USDC-related income. These statements may be recognized by the market.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, according to the official website of the Brazilian House of Representatives, a strategic sovereign Bitcoin reserve alternative bill named RESbit has recently been formally submitted. This bill proposes that Brazil accumulate at least 1,000,000 Bitcoins as national strategic reserve assets through a planned gradual acquisition over 5 years. The submitted bill significantly expands the scale of the previous bill regarding the use of 5% of foreign exchange reserves to purchase Bitcoin.

The draft content also includes a ban on selling Bitcoin seized by the judiciary, accepting Bitcoin payments for federal taxes, and providing incentives for Bitcoin mining and holding enterprises. If this bill is passed, Brazil's holdings are expected to surpass those of the United States and China. Currently, the bill still needs to address the limitations of the Central Bank's existing regulatory framework, as the current central bank regulations do not consider the use of Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, according to the UK (Financial Times), Tether net purchased $28.2 billion in US Treasury bonds in 2025, becoming the seventh largest foreign buyer, with its holdings surpassing those of countries like South Korea and Saudi Arabia. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believes that stablecoins are tools for promoting the US dollar and absorbing US debt, and the industry is expected to grow from the current $300 billion to $3 trillion.

Currently, the banking industry and the cryptocurrency sector are competing over stablecoin regulations. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong have disagreements on related terms. The banking sector is concerned that allowing third parties to pay interest on stablecoins will lead to retail deposits flowing into stablecoins, thereby increasing financial risks. This game has caused divisions among Trump supporters, involving conflicts of interest between Wall Street banks and cryptocurrency industry donors.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, Robert Mitchnick, the global head of digital assets at BlackRock, stated yesterday at the Bitcoin Investor Week 2026 event that institutional investors, sovereign nations, and banks are buying Bitcoin on dips.

Additionally, Mitchnick clarified the speculation regarding the "IBIT hedge fund collapse causing a significant drop in Bitcoin," indicating that there is a misunderstanding that hedge funds are stirring up volatility and selling Bitcoin within ETFs. "But the situation we are seeing is not like that. The Bitcoin market was clearly volatile last week, and we looked at the data from IBIT (BlackRock Bitcoin ETF), and the total redemption amount for the entire fund was only 0.2%. If there were indeed a lot of hedge funds aggressively closing their arbitrage trades in the ETFs, you would expect to see billions of dollars flowing out. However, we did see billions of dollars in liquidations on those leveraged perpetual contract platforms. The ETF side, however, is very stable, and the investor base resembles that of long-term buyers and holders."

BlockBeats news, on February 13, Yzi Labs investment partner Alex Odagiu recently wrote to the CEA Industries board, accusing it of extreme recklessness in delaying the annual general meeting (AGM), which could put the company at risk of Nasdaq delisting. The letter pointed out that it has been over 400 days since the last shareholders' meeting (December 17, 2024). The board attempted to exploit a loophole by changing the fiscal year-end date to April 30, using 'accounting measures' to extend the meeting interval to 16 months.

Alex Odagiu stated that the board's move is an attempt to evade voting and to cover up its actions of hindering shareholder democracy through the 'poison pill plan' and amendments to the articles of association under the guise of a 'ski vacation' last December. The letter emphasized that although the board is trying to comply from a technical standpoint, its malicious manipulation could trigger Nasdaq's delisting discretion. Yzi Labs demands that the board immediately announce the date of the 2025 annual shareholders' meeting and cease actions that jeopardize the company's listing status in order to maintain their positions.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, according to Chinese analyst Murphy, this cycle's Bitcoin LTH-RPRL (Long-Term Holder Realized Profit and Loss Ratio) has first fallen below 1, the last time this happened was on May 9, 2022; LTH-SOPR also fell below 1 at the same time, indicating that LTH is not only overall losing money but is also continuously selling at a loss.

Murphy stated that current market sentiment is in an extremely fragile stage, where market sentiment typically manifests as 'ignoring positive news and amplifying negative news.' During this stage, it is relatively easy for 'an event to exacerbate panic, causing LTH sentiment to collapse; this is also the last shudder of every bear market.' Looking back at history, it can be observed that when LTH-RPRL drops below 1, the probability of BTC entering a deep bear mode afterwards becomes extremely high. Note that the 'deep bear' mentioned here does not refer to the depth of the decline but rather to the duration of it.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, according to Reuters, the underwriter Clear Street announced the postponement of the U.S. IPO originally scheduled for Friday due to "poor market conditions."

BlockBeats news, February 13, this morning, AI giant Anthropic announced the completion of a $30 billion financing at a valuation of $380 billion, led by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and Coatue Management, with other investors including major tech companies like Nvidia and Microsoft.

Musk angrily criticized Anthropic in his announcement, claiming that they 'hate white people and Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals, and men. This is a misanthropic evil that must be corrected. Musk stated that 'Anthropic cannot avoid the inevitable irony that 'humanism' ultimately evolves into 'misanthropy.' The moment you chose this name, you were destined for this fate.'

BlockBeats news, on February 13, according to South Korea's (Chosun Ilbo) report, affected by the recent incident where 620,000 bitcoins were mistakenly issued by Bithumb, South Korean banks that have real-name account partnerships with it and other exchanges are taking a cautious attitude towards contract renewals to prevent potential reputational risks. The contract between KB Kookmin Bank, which signed a real-name account agreement with Bithumb, will expire next month, and it is currently requesting Bithumb to strengthen internal audits. Additionally, K Bank (in cooperation with Upbit, contract expiring in October) and Kakao Bank (in cooperation with Coinone, renewal in Q3) are also closely monitoring the situation and comprehensively assessing contract renewal matters.

BlockBeats news, on February 13, 'Wood' Cathie Wood said at the Bitcoin Investor Week 2026 event that current U.S. inflation has dropped to 0.8%, and will soon enter negative territory. 'When I saw Pepsi cut the prices of chips and Doritos by 15%, I knew the wind had changed. The latest data shows that the year-on-year increase in second-hand home prices has fallen to 0.9%, and new home prices are already declining year-on-year, while gasoline prices are also dropping.' This 'benign deflation' is driven by innovation in technology. The AI boom actually has a very strong deflationary effect: AI training costs are decreasing by 75% each year, while inference costs are declining at a rate of 85% per year.
