Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Ruxandra Teslo on X, stating that he believes AI is extremely knowledgeable and can excellently identify quotes in almost any content, but it is not wise, and therefore can only make the most superficial judgments about the viewpoints a piece of writing attempts to express.Vitalik Buterin noted that this situation is particularly evident when AI analyzes text it reads for the first time, as opposed to analyzing text that already exists in the training data, which comes with a lot of analyses from others. He also mentioned that the knowledge of AI is more easily seen than its limited wisdom, as wisdom may be something that is difficult to verify easily, which is different from intelligence.This reply was directed at Ruxandra Teslo's post. Ruxandra Teslo expressed that the related post made her feel pessimistic about humanity and believed that the discussions of large language models regarding her article are still low-quality content; she was responding to Sichu Lu's statement that AI is better suited than humans to discuss classics at that time.

According to official news from Bitget, the platform announced an upgrade to its RWA strategy, further expanding its tokenized stock business from asset trading access to institutional-level liquidity infrastructure construction. This upgrade introduces the Super Match Engine, breaking through the traditional single model of direct connection to brokers, adopting an internal matching priority mechanism, and providing market makers with lower latency trade execution, clearer liquidity distribution, and more efficient capital utilization through exclusive quoting channels and layered depth market data. At the same time, Super Match supports differentiated order processing and market services to meet the diverse trading and operational needs of institutional traders.Previously, Bitget launched the rToken US stock transfer function on October 13, supporting over 3,000 US stocks and ETFs. Users can transfer eligible stock assets from traditional brokerage accounts to Bitget, and once the stocks are credited, they will be automatically converted into US stock spot rTokens based on the corresponding number of shares. On this basis, relying on the Super Match framework, the efficiency of US stock trading will be continuously enhanced.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that the next phase of tokenized asset development is crucial for bridging the asset and liquidity channels between traditional finance and the digital asset market. Bitget will continue to improve cross-market trading infrastructure, promote the application of rToken in scenarios such as spot trading, lending, margin, and asset management, enhance asset liquidity and capital efficiency, and deepen the strategic layout of the panoramic exchange (UEX).

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) has approved the country's first Bitcoin ETF aimed at retail investors. This product falls under "other alternative investment funds" according to Swiss law and is labeled as having special risks. FINMA did not disclose the issuer of the fund, but multiple media outlets have indicated that signs suggest it may come from BIT Asset Management (formerly Matrixport Asset Management), and FINMA did not deny this claim in response to inquiries. Additionally, several fund providers have submitted or announced plans to submit Bitcoin ETF applications.The fund is a single-asset product, with all funds directed towards Bitcoin. To this end, FINMA needed to grant an exemption regarding its risk diversification rules, citing that Bitcoin has a long trading history and extremely high trading volume. In terms of asset custody, participating institutions must take measures to prevent operational and custody risks, with standards referenced from the regulatory announcement issued by FINMA on January 12, 2026, which requires that customer crypto assets are not included in bankruptcy assets in the event of the custodian's bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the sales process must comply with Fidleg's conduct rules to provide higher investor protection than direct purchases of cryptocurrencies, and the fund documents must clearly indicate the associated risks.While approving the ETF, FINMA emphasized that even investing in Bitcoin through an approved ETF carries high risks, with severe volatility potentially leading to significant depreciation of the principal invested, and required the issuer to provide clear warnings about volatility and loss risks. The United States has approved Bitcoin spot ETFs starting January 2024, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust launching on January 11, 2024, currently managing approximately $65 billion. The Swiss Exchange has been able to trade Bitcoin products for years, but they have existed in the form of ETPs and do not have fund status; this approved ETF is the first to incorporate Bitcoin into the approved public fund framework.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman introduced three proposals for the safe development of super AI to employees last week. The first is to establish a global regulatory organization similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency, to inspect advanced models and audit safety measures. Insiders say Altman leans towards this route.The second proposal emulates the European Organization for Nuclear Research, merging major AI laboratories into one organization or collaborating through a unified agency for joint development, rather than continuing to race against each other. The third and most extreme, which he referred to as the "Eliezer Plan": an AI company achieves recursive self-improvement first, and then uses overwhelming economic power to control computing power, making it impossible for other developers to catch up. Altman described this idea as "melting down all other companies' GPUs," while stating that this plan is very bad and is only meant to illustrate the extreme possibility.The idea of "melting down GPUs" comes from AI safety researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky. He proposed a thought experiment in 2021, suggesting that super AI could create self-replicating nanomachines to melt down global GPUs, stating that this is merely an extreme example to illustrate the intensity of intervention, not a proposal to be executed. OpenAI proposed the establishment of an "AI version of the International Atomic Energy Agency" in 2023, and Google DeepMind head Hassabis has also advocated for the creation of an "AI version of CERN." Currently, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic plan to establish a joint safety standards organization by the end of this year or early next year, but there are disagreements over the responsibility for model safety testing. Altman hopes to set speed limits for AI development while stating that OpenAI cannot currently cede its competitive advantage to rivals.

Morgan Stanley expects that by 2027, super-large enterprises in the AI field will consume nearly $600 billion in cash.

According to informed sources, Anthropic is preparing to release a new model that surpasses the reasoning and intuition capabilities of currently available models.

According to reports from South Korean media, on October 19, during the National Assembly's inspection of state affairs in South Korea, when asked whether the launch of single-stock leveraged ETFs affected the volatility of the South Korean stock market, the head of the Financial Supervisory Service, Lee Chan-jin, stated that he believes it has had an impact to some extent. He expressed deep regret over criticisms for not actively preventing the listing of related products.On the same day, during the National Assembly's Administrative Committee's inspection of the Financial Supervisory Service, a member of the People Power Party stated that searching for news related to the listing of single-stock leveraged ETFs would reveal that there were occurrences from "Black Monday" to "Black Friday," turning an entire week into a black one, and asked Lee Chan-jin whether he believed the listing of this product had an impact on this. Lee Chan-jin responded that he believes it has had an impact to some extent. When asked about other reasons for stock market volatility, Lee Chan-jin added that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have experienced severe volatility.

The Financial Supervisory Service of Korea stated that it will conduct a rapid investigation into unfair trading associated with virtual asset issuance foundations in order to address behaviors that harm market order.Related content was presented in the report on the current status of supervision by the National Assembly's Political Committee, with a plan named "Strengthening User Protection for Digital Assets and Establishing a Sound Trading Order."

Shunyet Jan, the head of trading and trading operations at Binance, stated that the future competition among financial platforms will no longer be limited to cryptocurrency asset trading, but will integrate services such as investment, payment, lending, and asset management, creating a comprehensive financial ecosystem that covers both traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market. Jan has worked for about 30 years at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase. He believes that traditional finance has advantages in regulation, risk management, and functional segregation, while the cryptocurrency industry is more competitive in 24-hour trading, fast settlement, and openness, and that the two will accelerate their integration in the future.Binance hopes to allow users to utilize their financial value without having to sell underlying assets through features such as unified accounts, cross-asset margin, tokenized assets, and stablecoin payments, and to explore using AI to simplify asset selection and risk management. Jan revealed that Binance currently has over 300 million users, most of whom come from emerging markets; among users of its direct stock and tokenized stock products, about 90% come from emerging markets. He stated that Binance's long-term goal is to expand its user base from 300 million to 3 billion and to become a financial infrastructure that more people can use.
