Notional Labs CEO: The Terra crash was triggered by an anonymous attack, Do Kwon is not to blame
According to Bitcoin.com, Notional Labs CEO Jacob Gadikian recently stated that the collapse of Terra and the decoupling of UST was not caused by founder Do Kwon, but originated from an anonymous attack.
Gadikian said that the attackers damaged the Terra blockchain in an attempt to disrupt UST's $1 peg and profit through arbitrage. Gadikian also pointed out that during the attack, hundreds of validators were manipulated.
Other investigators agreed with Gadikian's view. They noted that during the decoupling period, trading volume on this chain increased sixfold due to bots. The attack was orchestrated by several addresses with over 70,000 transactions made but all failed. This led to network congestion as validators could only store 5,000 transactions in their memory pool.
Despite Do Kwon being extradited to America for fraud charges, Gadikian believes that those truly responsible have yet to be revealed.

Four Mac Studio systems run trillion-parameter models, Apple challenges Nvidia's narrative on inference
Apple's hardware chief pointed out that after enterprises purchase devices outright, there is no need to pay by token, and the cost-effectiveness of local computing power might be superior to long-term rental of cloud GPUs. Goldman Sachs believes that if more inference tasks shift to end devices, Nvidia's share in incremental AI activity may fall short of market expectations. Currently, Nvidia's implied volatility is at its lowest since before the pandemic, and option pricing has almost no risk premium allocated for this narrative change. Therefore, Goldman Sachs recommends buying Nvidia put options and going long on Apple.
