According to Odaily Planet Daily, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink revealed that some unnamed sovereign wealth funds are buying Bitcoin, and that "they bought even more" as the price fell from its peak of $126,000. Fink stated that these funds are buying "gradually," increasing their holdings as the price dropped to the $80,000 range, aiming to build long-term positions. Speaking alongside Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong at the DealBook event, Fink said that the US risks falling behind other countries if it doesn't accelerate its investment in digitalization and tokenization. Furthermore, Fink predicted that cryptocurrency-driven tokenization will see "huge growth" in the coming years.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, during the debate with CZ, Peter Schiff, senior economist, founder and chief market strategist of Euro Pacific Asset Management & Schiff Gold, said: "To me, the point of Bitcoin being worthless is that it can do almost nothing.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Malaysian authorities have established a joint air-ground task force, utilizing high-tech drones and ground police, to shut down nearly 14,000 illegal Bitcoin mining rigs. The state-owned power company, Tenaga Nasional (TNB), reported that these illegal miners have stolen $1.1 billion worth of electricity from the national grid since 2020. Authorities are using drones to search for thermal signatures, while ground police are using sensors to detect illegal electricity use. Deputy Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transition, Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, stated that allowing such activities to occur not only involves theft but also poses challenges to the national grid system.
