PANews reported on February 6th that in response to DeFi Development executive Parker White's view that "the culprit behind today's IBIT crash may be one or more non-cryptocurrency hedge funds based in Hong Kong," CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju responded: "Unless this is a forced sell-off by institutions, it's hard to understand why they would release such a massive amount of Bitcoin all at once. The most worrying thing in the Bitcoin market is precisely this chain reaction of forced sell-offs: as funds are liquidated and prices fall, miners will go bankrupt, and even small investors who held on until the end will have to cut their losses and leave. Frankly, if Bitcoin fails to see a meaningful rebound at its current price within the next month, the risk of a structural, chain reaction of institutional sell-offs will increase significantly. And once institutions choose to surrender at the bottom, they are unlikely to return—rebuilding trust takes a long time."

According to previous reports, a partner at Pantera Capital speculated that the recent sell-off in the crypto market was triggered by large Asian entities .

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
