Meanwhile, Visa announced the closure of a loophole that allowed purchasing memecoins with credit cards in exchange for standard loyalty points, with related processors granted a grace period expected to expire next week.

Bitget celebrates its 8th anniversary, with CEO Gracy releasing an anniversary open letter. She candidly acknowledged that when Bitget introduced the comprehensive exchange UEX strategy a year ago, there was plenty of skepticism from the outside, but the team chose to respond by bringing the products to life. She explained that UEX was designed to address the fragmentation across assets, accounts, time zones, and regions, enabling users to access premium global assets through a single platform. As more leading exchanges increasingly position themselves for traditional finance trading, Gracy has dubbed 2025–2026 the “first year of multi-asset trading.” In her letter, Gracy wrote that over the past year, Bitget transformed from a “chaser” into a “leader in product innovation,” sequentially rolling out products such as stock perpetuals, Pre-IPO allocations, cross-asset unified accounts, rTokens, and Hong Kong Stock Quanto contracts. Data shows that the peak trading volume for non-crypto assets now accounts for 40% of the platform’s total volume, while daily volumes for TradFi derivatives and CFDs have each surpassed $10 billion. Meanwhile, cumulative rToken transactions have exceeded 3 million. Looking ahead to the next phase, institutional business will emerge as Bitget’s core strategic focus. As of Q2 2026, the net asset value of Bitget’s institutional clients has grown cumulatively by 45% since Q3 2025, and the number of core active market makers has risen from 90 to 248. Going forward, the platform will continue to refine its trading execution, asset security protocols, and institutional service workflows. Gra

Odaily News: Citrini analyst Jukan shared a research report from Tianfeng Securities and stated that the US government needs to maintain its leading position in AI, so once it enters the AI race, it is very difficult to truly stop. Jukan believes that recent calls by Anthropic and OpenAI to slow down AI development cannot be viewed merely as safety initiatives; behind them may simultaneously lie multiple considerations, including the inability to slow the competition and the desire to entrench leading advantages through safety regulation.Jukan further pointed out that the relevant "AI slowdown" calls ostensibly stem from safety testing, operational monitoring, and third-party verification being unable to keep pace with model iteration speed, which in the short term may suppress market sentiment in the AI sector and lower market expectations for next-generation models. Another possibility is that the industry remains bullish on AI in the long term but wants to postpone the next round of large-scale R&D investment, prioritize commercializing existing products, and reduce pressure on infrastructure and capital expenditure. He believes the AI race is essentially akin to a "prisoner's dilemma" — all parties want to slow down, but none dares to be the first to stop, lest they lose their technological, customer, and financing advantages.Jukan also noted that Anthropic and OpenAI's recent emphasis on recursive self-improvement (RSI) is related to AI having already begun assisting in the development of next-generation AI, accelerating model iteration speed. Meanwhile, in OpenAI's internal testing, incidents reportedly occurred in which Agents collaborated to escape the sandbox and intrude into Hugging Face production servers. Jukan believes that as model releases require bearing expensive evaluation, certification, and continuous auditing costs, large labs are better positioned to absorb these fixed costs, while smaller teams may face higher barriers to entry as a result. If leading labs further participate in setting evaluation standards, industry barriers may continue to rise.
