first_img CFTC Chairman: Refrigerators can stake ETH and issue Memecoin

Michael Selig, the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, stated at the CFTC's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington that imagining a refrigerator autonomously purchasing groceries with funds from staked ETH, or even issuing its own Memecoin, "is no longer science fiction." He believes that when AI agents can hold assets and execute trades autonomously, regulators must make adjustments.Selig pointed out that the CFTC's regulatory framework is built around executing specific financial functions concerning "identifiable market participants," but autonomous software is raising questions about how these rules apply. He proposed that if AI agents identify trading opportunities and execute trades for users, their developers may need to register, who is responsible when the agent goes out of control, how regulators know for whom the agent is trading, and whether a new type of "Know Your Agent" rule, referred to as KYA, is necessary.Selig also mentioned that AI could provide smaller traders and businesses with risk management capabilities that were previously only available to large institutions, but greater autonomy also brings new risks: agents may react unexpectedly to market conditions, agents using similar models may exhibit correlated trading behaviors, and the speed of autonomous trading could complicate market regulation and risk management. Animoca Brands Chairman Yat Siu recently expressed similar concerns to Cointelegraph; Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets in February, and Binance introduced AI Agent Skills in March, allowing agents to trade within user-defined parameters or provide spot order tools.

Tencent is beta testing "Tencent Cloud Drive," positioning it as a unified memory base for multiple agents

According to "Du Jia," Tencent has launched the internal testing of "Tencent Cloud Drive," with some features still being iterated, and plans to release an App version. This product focuses on file storage, data management, and AI applications, with a core positioning as a unified memory base for multiple Agents, aiming to connect various AI applications and office tools, unify and carry context, allowing multiple Agents to collaborate based on the same information.Practical tests show that the internal test version retains basic entry points such as the homepage, files, recycle bin, and storage space, with a floating AI assistant panel on the right side. The core highlight of the product is its "connection" capability, supporting binding with Tencent Docs, WorkBuddy, and integrating third-party Agents like DeepSeek Harness and OpenClaw. After authorization, the Cloud Drive AI assistant can read application files, automatically sync updates, and directly call information as a knowledge base for retrieval, summarization, and content generation. The binding page will clearly inform users of the scope of permissions and the rules for AI credit consumption.The report points out that, unlike traditional Cloud Drive AI's document summarization, this system fully connects documents, Cloud Drive files, and Agent workspaces, shifting the Cloud Drive from a file repository to a data memory platform in the AI era.

first_img NBA and CFTC signed a memorandum of understanding on the integrity of prediction markets, while the NFL is still fighting in the Supreme Court

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced a memorandum of understanding with the NBA to jointly maintain the integrity of professional basketball events in prediction markets. According to the agreement, both parties will share information, maintain regular communication on integrity matters, and collaborate to ensure that relevant markets are fair and transparent. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that the NBA, along with MLB and NHL, has taken a responsible step to protect sports integrity and market participants from abuses such as insider trading and fraud, and thanked NBA President Adam Silver for prioritizing the integrity of professional basketball and the U.S. financial markets.The agreement reflects that betting on sports event outcomes is rapidly migrating to CFTC-regulated platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, where users can trade event contracts based on real-world outcomes. Such memorandums of understanding with regulatory agencies aim to establish channels for marking suspicious activities. Previously, the NHL became the first major league to authorize trademarks for prediction markets, while MLB signed an integrity agreement after collaborating with Polymarket. The NBA's involvement is particularly noteworthy, as the league is still affected by one of the largest betting scandals in recent years: in October 2025, an FBI operation arrested Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and a coach, accusing them of participating in a gambling scheme to manipulate game outcomes to influence betting.This collaboration comes amid a jurisdictional dispute over prediction markets. The CFTC recently defined event contracts as swaps within its jurisdiction and excluded casino-style gambling; the lawsuit between the NFL and Kalshi has drawn the attention of the Supreme Court, with the NFL to date refusing to sign related agreements, contrasting with its cooperation with the NBA. Bernstein analysts expect that by the end of this decade, prediction markets could generate billions of dollars in revenue, with new participants continuously entering, and Blockchain.com is one of the latest seeking CFTC approval to offer event contracts.

first_img Jensen Huang: The likelihood of a memory supply surplus before 2029 is low

According to the Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated during a media interview at the GTC conference in Berlin on Thursday that the likelihood of a memory supply surplus by 2029 is low. He mentioned that one great aspect of memory is that there is always more that can be used, and he noted that HBM will continue to be applied in the coming years.Jensen Huang also stated that Nvidia is the first company in the world to introduce LPDDR memory, used in mobile phones, into data centers, which doubles its energy efficiency compared to any current global solution, thus it will continue to use this type of memory extensively. He mentioned last Thursday that customer demand for AI chip orders continues to exceed the company's supply capacity, with new orders pouring in almost weekly, if not daily.In the past week, storage chip stocks faced sell-offs due to market concerns over supply surplus and weak demand. A well-known media outlet in South Korea published a column last week, citing two experts who predicted that by 2029, there will be a significant increase in semiconductor supply, and the storage chip market may turn into a red ocean. On Thursday, the Nasdaq Composite Index closed down 2.6%, at 26008.86 points; SanDisk fell 8.51%, SK Hynix fell 8.07%, Seagate Technology fell 7.86%, Western Digital fell 6.43%, and Micron Technology fell 6.23%.
