Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po said the AI boom has energized the city’s economy and consumer market, and the government is fully promoting AI adoption. Rising global AI demand has boosted Hong Kong’s exports and capital market activity, with AI-related IPOs totaling about HK$100 billion, or more than half of the total; the Hang Seng Index will also add several AI companies. If SMEs’ AI adoption rate catches up with that of large enterprises by 2035, it could generate about HK$65 billion in economic benefits for Hong Kong. The government’s AI Efficiency Enhancement Team is advancing 30 projects across 13 departments.

Jiang Zhuo’er said that BTC ETF inflows totaled $1.92 billion last week, while ETH ETF inflows reached $700 million; ETH’s market cap is approximately 18.8% that of BTC, but its share of ETF inflows reached 36.4%, twice BTC’s ratio relative to market cap, driving ETH to outperform in this rally (approximately 35.9% versus 26.6%). He also said that if the CLARITY Act passes, U.S. financial assets will be comprehensively brought on-chain, tokenized, and integrated with smart contracts, potentially ushering in global financial freedom, while bringing RWA assets on-chain could attract investment in underlying public chains.

A Pew Research Center study shows that approximately one-tenth of English-language webpages contain clear signs of AI-generated content; among webpages published after November 2022, the proportion rises to 35%. The sample comprised approximately 490k pages from public web archives and was analyzed using the Open Pangram detection model. By domain, signs of AI on .com pages were approximately ten times more common than on .edu/.gov pages, while the approximately 4.6% figure was nearly twice that of .org.

The debate between open source and closed source has continued for more than a decade in Bitcoin and the crypto industry as a whole. Bitcoin supporters have long argued that global financial infrastructure must be built openly, and that transparency and auditability are non-negotiable principles when real money is at stake. However, the application layer and traditional finance often do not agree.
The recent theft of a Coldcard hardware wallet has further thrust the true meaning of “open source” into the spotlight. Users lost more than $100 million in Bitcoin (over 1,500 BTC). The incident exposed an uncomfortable reality: even many hardcore Bitcoin users have a fairly limited understanding of the open-source software development philosophy and the scenarios in which it can fail.
Principles and Terminology
Open-source terminology is not simple. Free and open-source software (F

Industry insiders warned that tokenized stocks could recreate Wall Street’s “paperwork crisis” of the 1960s due to fragmented systems and standards across exchanges, SPVs, token wrappers, and proprietary ledgers, resulting in fragmented ownership records. Some tokenized products provide only economic exposure rather than legal ownership, meaning investors may have to rely on intermediaries; if the issuer or SPV goes bankrupt, voting rights, dividends, and claims on assets would be uncertain.

According to the New York Post, amid Democratic Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s opposition in Congress to major cryptocurrency legislation, her latest financial disclosure shows that her approximately $1.2 million retirement account holds Bitcoin- and Ethereum-related assets, including up to $15k each in the Grayscale Ethereum ETF and iShares Bitcoin ETF; she previously voted against the CLARITY Act and supported a resolution to ban “crypto corruption.”

BPI submitted a comment letter to FinCEN recommending that the Customer Identification Program (CIP) be expanded from stablecoin issuers to exchanges and platforms in the secondary market, incorporating the collection of identity information under the BSA and covering secondary-market activities related to retail accounts, as they play a key role in stablecoin transactions and are where much of the related illicit activity occurs. FinCEN’s proposed rule acknowledges that expanding identity information requirements is operationally challenging, as blockchain transactions are largely anonymous or pseudonymous, lack centralized information points, and make it difficult for issuers to obtain information on secondary-market customers.

As the report was wrapping up, the editor asked: How many robots working on a production line would it take to replace one BYD worker?
I couldn't answer.
At the beginning of the year, in a simulated auto factory, I watched a humanoid robot arrange four fingers into a flat surface, lift a box, turn around, walk to a shelf 20 meters away, and put it down. The entire process took about 90 seconds, and its efficiency was probably only 30% that of a human.
Last month, at a bearing manufacturing plant, another robot extended its gripper, picked up a bearing from a pallet, turned around, and placed it in a plastic box on the left. A human could complete this action in 2 seconds; it took the robot 70 seconds. Even if it were ten times faster, it still couldn't enter the factory.
One company that built these two robots has a valuation of nearly 40 billion yuan; the other has a valuation of more than $1 billion, was founded less than a year ago, and has raised 5

According to The New York Times, in March 2022, Sylwester Suszek, founder of Polish crypto exchange Zondacrypto (formerly BitBay), disappeared, leaving desperate voice messages; his family suspected foul play. The lawyer who took over management, Przemyslaw Kral, has also been unreachable for four months. Kral once reassured customers in a video, claiming the company held more than $330 million in Bitcoin, but only Suszek possessed the unlocking keys. The website shut down around April, and about two months later (June 29), Estonia’s FIU revoked the parent company’s license.

According to Coinglass data, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index has remained negative for 97 consecutive days, most recently at -0.0266%. Previously, it recorded 40 consecutive days of negative premium from January 16 to February 24, the longest stretch since the indicator began, surpassing the approximately 30 days of negative premium before and after the 1011 crash. Prolonged negative premiums are usually associated with U.S. institutional capital exiting, warranting caution over short-term pullback pressure.
