On March 20, Decrypt reported that Bitcoin briefly rose above $71,000 but has since retreated to around $70,547. This rebound occurred after U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen proposed measures to address soaring oil prices. Yellen stated that the U.S. is considering granting exemptions for certain sanctions on Iranian tankers already at sea and is further discussing the possibility of releasing strategic oil reserves. The previous day, Brent crude oil prices surged to $119 per barrel due to attacks on energy facilities in the Persian Gulf, which caused Bitcoin to drop below $70,000, triggering over $500 million in forced liquidations in the crypto market. Despite this, market participants remain vigilant. Analysts warn that if the critical chokepoint of global energy supply, the Strait of Hormuz, is blocked for an extended period, oil prices could rise further to $200 per barrel. GSR research analyst Carlos Guzman stated that Bitcoin's price movements are a second-order effect of rising energy prices: high energy prices may lead the Federal Reserve to maintain elevated interest rates for a longer period, and high rates are generally unfavorable for the crypto market, as a low-interest environment typically encourages investors to shift funds towards risk assets.

Hedge Funds May Re-enter AI Positions as Liquidation Nears End
In October, hedge funds significantly reduced risk and concentrated their liquidation of AI positions, which improved the positioning environment for U.S. stocks, particularly in the AI sector, ahead of year-end. If AI stocks stabilize gradually in November and retail investors continue to buy stock funds, hedge funds may begin to increase their AI exposure again starting at the end of November. However, the allocation of long-term funds to bonds may still limit further declines in yields, and any subsequent interest rate decreases may rely more on momentum and speculative funds for support.

Release of Community Compact and Compute Campus Policy Blueprint, Committing to Full Cost of Self-Paid Electricity and Infrastructure
On November 5, OpenAI released two documents: the 'National Community Compact' and the 'Compute Campus Policy Blueprint.' The former stipulates that each compute campus it owns and operates in the future will establish local agreements, committing to pay the full costs of electricity and necessary infrastructure, providing financial assurances before significant expenditures, developing water plans with a preference for closed-loop or low-water cooling, publicly disclosing site-level water and electricity usage, construction plans, and independent noise assessments, reporting on compliance and local hiring annually, and not signing confidentiality agreements with public officials. The latter suggests that federal, state, and local governments establish rules for the industry, requiring large electricity consumers to bear the costs of grid enhancements, with tax incentive terms made public and recoverable if developers fail to comply. The documents continue the commitment made in January by the Stargate community: a $4.8 million grant in Effingham County, Georgia, to cover free school meals for 14,000 students, and a $6 million joint commitment by OpenAI and SB Energy for childcare in Pike County, Ohio. OpenAI has also agreed with Georgia Power to reduce power supply by up to 1,000 megawatts during high-demand periods. -
