According to an interview with "Daily People," a data center operations engineer who has worked in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia for 5 years stated that local AI data centers are still under large-scale construction, but the hiring demand at his company has significantly decreased. The company hired thousands of people in 2025, but by the time of the interview in 2026, only 3 new hires had been made.The engineer, who goes by the pseudonym Zhang Liwei, originally worked on an assembly line at an automobile factory. When he first switched careers, his internship monthly salary was 2,000 yuan, which increased to 4,500 yuan after graduation. After 5 years of job hopping and promotions, he currently earns over 10,000 yuan per month. In April of this year, DeepSeek was hiring senior operations engineers and senior delivery managers for its data center in Ulanqab, offering a monthly salary of 15,000 to 30,000 yuan, with 14 months' salary. These positions require extensive experience in data center operations and project management. According to Zhang Liwei's observations, local ordinary duty staff still earn around 5,000 to 6,000 yuan per month, while assistant engineers can earn over 10,000 yuan.The entry barriers are also rising. In 2024, some data centers were still hiring newcomers without relevant professional backgrounds; however, this year, some companies have required candidates to have a relevant degree and work experience, and there is even a 35-year age limit for basic duty positions. Zhang Liwei mentioned that a former colleague has started a training class for operations, charging nearly 20,000 yuan per student, and classes only start when there are 60 students, with a single session fee approaching 1.2 million yuan. The so-called internal recommendations are mostly just to help students secure an interview opportunity.

Coinbase legal advisor Molly Abraham stated that six institutions, including Coinbase, prediction market platform Kalshi, Kraken's parent company Payward, DRW Holdings, Jump Trading, and Paradigm, have applied to the U.S. court to submit amicus curiae briefs in support of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) regarding its regulatory authority over individual perpetual contracts.The related institutions argue that, according to the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulatory framework for securities futures established by the U.S. Congress in 2000, such products should be classified as securities futures rather than securities swaps. The aforementioned institutions also believe that preventing innovative products from being compliant and listed in the U.S. will only drive trading activities offshore.

The founder and CEO of trading company DRW, Don Wilson, published an article raising several questions about the New York Stock Exchange's parent company's push to introduce the decentralized perpetual contract platform Hyperliquid to the U.S. market. He also expressed gratitude to CFTC Chairman Selig and the Trump administration for making such experiments possible and stated that only the market can determine whether an arrangement is useful.Don Wilson: What are the benefits of trading perpetual contracts on a regulated exchange in an on-chain manner? He believes the main advantage of on-chain trading is the reduction of friction in a trustless, identity-verification-free environment, or receiving the purchased assets in real-time through atomic transactions; however, perpetual contracts themselves are not assets, so the latter benefit does not apply.He also specifically mentioned Stan Druckenmiller, asking whether he is aware that positions and transactions on Hyperliquid can be tracked in real-time and whether he sees this as an advantage. Additionally, he noted that Hyperliquid's priority fee mechanism allows participants to pay to see information earlier or to move their orders ahead in the queue, and he inquired whether this aligns with CFTC core principles.Don Wilson further asked whether the liquidity of offshore order books can be merged with onshore order books; if not, whether listing perpetual contracts on regulated exchanges using traditional centralized order books is preferable to bearing the inefficiencies brought by on-chain matching.Previously, Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) and trade[XYZ] announced plans to deploy a perpetual contract market covering crypto assets, stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, and other physical assets for U.S. traders based on Hyperliquid infrastructure, pending regulatory approval, with ICE operating the regulated market and clearing framework.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost posted on platform X, stating that as BTC has maintained above $80,000 for several consecutive weeks, there is a clear divergence in the behavior of retail investors and whales transferring BTC to Binance.Data shows that the 30-day cumulative amount of BTC transferred to Binance by retail investors has increased from $5.5 billion to $10.75 billion, nearly doubling and reaching a new high in nearly six months. In contrast, the inflow amount from whales has continued to decline during the same period, dropping from $5.9 billion at the end of August to the current $3.8 billion. Darkfost believes that some retail investors may view this initial rebound as an opportunity to reduce their positions or exit, while whales have not yet shown a clear willingness to sell. It is worth noting whether whales will maintain a low level of exchange inflows if the BTC price continues to rise.
