BlockTower Capital CIO Ari Paul has ignited a fierce debate with a starkly divided outlook for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. In a detailed analysis, Paul posits a 50/50 probability between two futures: one where the current downturn marks a permanent peak in organic adoption, and another where it’s merely a correction before another speculative surge. This probabilistic framing, which Paul defends as essential portfolio management, has drawn criticism as “fence-sitting” from commentators like Blockchain Investment Group’s Eric Weiss, even as it highlights profound structural questions about Bitcoin’s long-term viability and the sustainability of the entire crypto business ecosystem.

Two Solana wallets tied to Kled AI moved 58.25M KLED tokens ($800K) days after announcing a $500K buyback plan, dispersing them across 99 wallets. On-chain analysis shows most tokens were converted to USDC, with $221K sold via ChangeNOW. Kled AI founder Avi Patel confirmed the sales, citing expenses, but failed to notify the community. The moves impacted KLED’s price, which rose 30% despite the sell-off. Critics warn such buybacks risk becoming exit liquidity for insiders, with regulators yet to address the practice. The incident highlights transparency gaps in crypto projects.
