OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger has addressed inquiries regarding the existence of an official Weibo account for OpenClaw. According to Odaily, Steinberger responded on the X platform, clarifying that he has never used Weibo and that the purported 'official Weibo' is not under his control.

In a recent interview, Mysten Labs CEO evan.sui stated that he does not agree with the notion that "bear markets are good, keep building." In fact, bear markets are not "great," nor are they something to celebrate or boast about. Volatility doesn't just "cleanse the market," but rather scares away builders and users, leading to a smaller talent pool and slower adoption. While bear markets might allow a few teams to focus more intently, packaging them as beneficial for everyone ignores the real costs and harms the long-term development of the crypto industry. During downturns, many people lose all their savings, face cash flow problems, and even some very strong teams may not survive, genuinely hurting many.

While market attention is focused on geopolitical risks, a quietly spreading private equity credit crisis is rapidly escalating within the US financial system. Redemption waves, asset sell-offs, and fund closures—investors have seen this scenario before in 2008.

In response to the question of whether he was aware that OpenClaw had opened an official Weibo account, OpenClaw founder Peter Steinberger stated on the X platform that he had never used Weibo and that the so-called "official Weibo" was not under his control.

Crypto KOL Phyrex Ni published an article on the X platform stating that recent private equity credit risks in the US have gradually emerged, specifically as follows: 1. BlackRock's HPS Corporate Lending Fund (approximately $26 billion in size) received redemption requests for approximately 9.3% of its fund units in the first quarter of 2026, amounting to approximately $1.2 billion. The fund's original quarterly repurchase cap was 5%, and this triggered the liquidity cap for the first time, resulting in approximately $620 million in actual redemptions. 2. Blackstone's BCRED received redemption requests for approximately 7.9% of its fund units in the same quarter, amounting to approximately $3.7 billion. Blackstone increased its repurchase cap from 5% to 7% and injected approximately $400 million of internal funds, of which over $150 million came from executives and senior employees. 3. Blue Owl's OBDC II, with approximately $1.6 billion in size, also faces redemption pressure. The fund sold approximately $1.4 billion in assets to North American pension and insurance institutions and changed its original quarterly 5% redemption framework to a maximum return arrangement of approximately 30%, involving about 128 companies across 27 industries. 4. Fitch data in February showed that the average redemption rate of its tracked perpetual unlisted BDCs rose to 4.5% NAV in the fourth quarter of 2025, a significant increase from 1.6% in the previous quarter, indicating that the pressure of capital withdrawal has spread throughout the retail private lending channel. 5. Institutional protective short positions in credit ETFs surged to a historical high, indicating that institutions are hedging against the solvency of underlying borrowers, the authenticity of book valuations, and the feasibility of redemptions. 6. Persistent high interest rates and the Fed's slow rate cuts have increased the difficulty of refinancing, leading to greater default risks and widening credit spreads in private lending. 7. AI infrastructure may also be impacted. As the credit environment tightens, the financing costs of data centers, servers, and supporting networks will rise, the pace of expansion will slow, and the financing pressure on AI-related projects will increase. S&P Global Ratings has identified "AI-driven technology bond issuance, AI valuation risks, and rising leverage in non-bank financial institutions" as key variables for credit market liquidity in 2026. Overall, tight liquidity in private lending has already manifested in several large funds, and if the high-interest-rate environment persists, redemption pressure and default risks may further increase.

The world has learned costly lessons from conflicts in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, which the current White House appears to overlook. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting the insights shared by Max Hastings. These historical events have shaped global perspectives on military interventions and foreign policy strategies. Despite the experiences gained, there are concerns that the current administration may not fully acknowledge or apply these lessons in its decision-making processes. The implications of ignoring past mistakes could have significant consequences for international relations and future engagements.

U.S. government officials have reportedly discussed the possibility of seizing Iran's strategic oil export terminal, Kharg Island, which handles approximately 90% of Iran's crude oil exports. According to Jin10, this consideration comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and efforts to exert pressure on Iran's oil industry. The discussions reflect the strategic importance of Kharg Island in Iran's oil export infrastructure and the potential impact on global oil markets. The move could significantly disrupt Iran's oil exports and further escalate tensions between the two nations.
