The co-founder of the Solana ecosystem DeFi project Ranger Finance, cobra (@barrett_io), posted on the X platform that Ranger Finance is gradually shutting down. The project took on business beyond its sustainable capacity, and the founder invested personal funds to maintain operations, but delays in financing led to the accumulation of bills. Ultimately, the financing was unsuccessful, and the raised funds were returned.The team is trying to fairly pay employees and suppliers with the remaining two months of operating funds, but it is insufficient to cover all expenses. The treasury liquidation was unexpected and severely impacted budget decisions. Subsequently, the Drift attack incident depleted the remaining funds and personal capital. Treasury users affected by the Drift attack will receive recovery tokens when distributed by the Drift team. The founder stated that in hindsight, the project should have been shut down earlier and apologized for this.

On-chain detective ZachXBT has released a lengthy article exposing the LAB project and its founder (@vsadkovv), accusing the LAB token's circulation and distribution of being very opaque.ZachXBT stated that Coingecko, RootData, and CMC all reported different circulation figures for LAB, and the official team has not clearly disclosed the token distribution. There is a significant overlap between investors and trading platforms, and most critically: insiders likely control over 95% of the tokens, leaving retail investors completely unaware of the true circulation situation.Additionally, the LAB team unilaterally changed the public sale lock-up period from 3 months to 9 months, while also defaulting on marketing fees, providing special treatment to KOLs and whales, and requiring them to post promotional content. The founder has mixed project funds with personal accounts, with a large amount of funds going directly into trading platform recharge addresses. Insiders can sell off tokens without retail investors being aware at all. ZachXBT calls for trading platforms to conduct a thorough investigation and delist or freeze the related funds.

On-chain detective ZachXBT has released a lengthy article exposing the LAB project and its founder (@vsadkovv). The LAB token has surged to a $6 billion FDV, but the situation is very opaque.The team was founded by Vova Sadkov and Mark, whose previous Eesee project left many investors dissatisfied. Currently, the circulation data for LAB is chaotic, with Coingecko, RootData, and CMC reporting different circulation figures. The official team has not clearly disclosed the token distribution, and there is a significant overlap between investors and trading platforms. Most critically, insiders likely control over 95% of the tokens, leaving retail investors completely unaware of the true circulation situation.Additionally, the LAB team unilaterally changed the public sale lock-up period from 3 months to 9 months, while also defaulting on marketing fees, providing special treatment to KOLs and whales, and requiring them to post promotional content. The founder has mixed project funds with personal accounts, with large amounts of money directly entering the trading platform's recharge address. Insiders can sell off tokens without retail investors being aware.On-chain data shows that insiders recently withdrew over 100 million LAB from trading platforms, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, using tactics similar to those seen in previously manipulated projects. ZachXBT calls for trading platforms to conduct a thorough investigation and delist or freeze related funds. Furthermore, ZachXBT specifically states: this is not a short-selling recommendation. With such high supply control, short-selling instead becomes fuel.

According to The Information, OpenAI was unable to complete approximately $18 billion in financing from external lenders, which was originally planned to support the early deployment of its custom chip project developed in collaboration with Broadcom. This project plans to deploy OpenAI's self-developed chips with a computing power of 10 gigawatts, which is a core strategy for the company to reduce its reliance on Nvidia. The original agreement announced in October 2025 had a total hardware construction scale of approximately $500 billion.The background of the financing obstacles is that lenders are becoming increasingly cautious about AI infrastructure deals backed by OpenAI's expected revenue, compounded by recent reports that OpenAI has not met its internal growth targets, further heightening investor concerns. More broadly, capital expenditures for AI in large-scale enterprises are estimated to reach $600 billion to $720 billion by 2026, but Nvidia's accounts receivable have approached $33 billion, indicating that buyer settlement cycles are generally extended. OpenAI currently faces three paths: restructuring this round of financing, changing lenders, or scaling back the chip deployment.
