The AI native oracle Cournot Protocol, invested by YZi Labs, has officially integrated with 42, an event market backed by institutions such as Dragonfly and Coinbase Ventures, becoming its official AI native oracle. Cournot will provide continuous monitoring, evidence endorsement assessment, and a transparent analysis workflow driven by Cournot's "reasoning proof" framework.As the event trading platform expands into sectors such as sports, politics, creator economy, and crypto-native events, building a market adjudication mechanism is becoming a core challenge in the infrastructure domain. Unlike traditional data feed oracles, Cournot continuously tracks external dynamics, aggregates multi-source evidence for cross-examination, and analyzes the settlement conditions of various markets, generating an auditable reasoning chain while outputting adjudication results.The recent integration of the prediction market Myriad Markets by Cournot reflects the macro trend of the industry migrating towards "AI-assisted settlement" infrastructure. Cournot's core capabilities will gradually expand from empowering prediction markets to areas such as Agentic Commerce, complex RWA, card games, and parametric insurance. More and more platforms are realizing that complex real-world outcomes are often not adjudicated by a single API or a price feed, which is precisely why they are beginning to seek new types of oracles.

According to The Block, CryptoQuant's research director Julio Moreno stated that the bottom for Bitcoin may be around $53,600, which is the current realized price and has historically marked the bottom of bear markets multiple times. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at approximately $62,150, about 9% higher than that level. However, demand conditions remain weak. CryptoQuant estimates that total demand decreased by 652,000 BTC last week, marking the largest single-week decline since January 2022. The 30-day ETF demand growth has dropped to -74,000 BTC, the weakest level since the ETF was launched. Meanwhile, the realized losses over the past 30 days amount to 187,000 BTC, significantly lower than the 400,000 BTC when it first fell below $60,000 in February and the 1.2 million BTC during the FTX collapse in November 2022, indicating that a capitulation-style sell-off has not yet been reached. Moreno stated that while the price level may suggest a bottom is near, a bull market requires a recovery in demand, which has not yet been reflected in the data. Until total demand stabilizes, ETF capital flows recover, and realized losses reach capitulation peaks, the current price should be viewed as a candidate for valuation bottom rather than a confirmed cycle bottom.

According to 10x Research analysis, the Ethereum options market has seen an unusually large volume of put option buying, with contract flows at strike prices of $1800 and $1900 being about five times the normal levels.The institution believes that while Ethereum is cheap today, cheap does not equate to a buying opportunity. Fundamentals ultimately determine price, and marketing narratives can only sustain deviations for a limited time; eventually, reality will re-establish dominance.

Inflation has become a focal point again, and cryptocurrencies are feeling the pressure.The report points out that Bitcoin is testing the 30-day moving average, and a confirmed drop below it would indicate a deterioration in momentum.

Zhao Changpeng (CZ) stated at the Consensus Miami 2026 conference that YZi Labs is currently investing 70% of its funds in blockchain, 20% in AI, and 10% in biotechnology. The positioning of BNB should be as the native currency for AI Agents, and all blockchains need to be "AI ready," supporting agent payments and protocols for AI tools like MCP. Cryptocurrency should be the most native way for AI Agents to conduct cross-border payments. Regarding RWA, CZ mentioned that a year ago he believed RWA was overvalued, but he has changed his view; RWA is real and currently undervalued.
