first_img The Central Bank of the Philippines plans to freeze the registration of payment operators for 12 months, tightening VASP regulation

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has released a proposed announcement to suspend the acceptance of new applications for registration of payment system operators (OPS) for 12 months and to implement stricter controls on payment arrangements involving virtual asset service providers (VASP). The BSP stated that this move aims to conduct a comprehensive review of its classification and licensing framework.According to the draft, during the suspension period, the BSP will stop accepting and processing OPS applications. Applications submitted prior to the suspension can continue to be evaluated, but will not be approved or rejected until the suspension ends. Relevant entities are prohibited from conducting business activities that require OPS registration unless they obtain special authorization from the regulatory agency. In addition, BSP-regulated entities providing merchant acquiring services must connect licensed VASPs through direct merchant arrangements, and such relationships will be subject to enhanced due diligence, transaction and settlement limits, and other risk control measures.This requirement applies to virtual asset enterprises licensed, registered, or authorized by the BSP, the Securities and Exchange Commission of the Philippines, or other regulatory agencies, with VASPs being categorized alongside betting, gaming, adult industry, and money service businesses. If the draft is ultimately approved, it will take effect 15 days after publication, and the BSP is currently seeking public comments.

Anthropic signed at least 14.8GW of computing power in the past 11 months, with a potential cost of up to 517 billion USD

According to statistics from The Information, Anthropic has signed at least 14.8GW of computing power in the past 11 months, which can be gradually utilized in the coming years. Based on currently public contracts, the potential total cost could reach up to $517 billion, with most expenditures occurring over the next decade. In addition to the 1-2GW already secured before October last year, the total computing power signed by Anthropic is approximately 16GW.This round of expansion is primarily driven by the demand for Claude. This year, the growth of Claude Code and Cowork has exceeded Anthropic's expectations, prompting the company to focus on acquiring computing power. The new agreement with Amazon provides up to 5GW, while Google and Broadcom offer another 5GW, and Microsoft and NVIDIA provide approximately 1GW. Anthropic has also rented all computing power from SpaceX's Colossus 1, acquiring over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs, including H100, H200, and GB200.Anthropic has secured about 16GW, with many contracts extending beyond 2030. OpenAI has set a target for investors to reach 30GW by 2030, expecting to invest approximately $750 billion in computing power by that year. The $517 billion figure is the potential maximum cost estimated by The Information based on existing cloud services, chip, and data center contracts, with some computing power potentially being delayed or unused, and some contracts allowing for early cancellation.

Data: Over the weekend, the capital flow of mainstream public chains showed divergence, with BNB Chain experiencing net inflow and Robinhood Chain currently facing capital outflow

According to on-chain data from DeFiLlama, there was a significant divergence in the capital flow of mainstream public chains over the weekend. BNB Chain saw a net inflow of approximately 28.22 million USD in the last 24 hours, indicating that funds are still continuously gathering in the BSC ecosystem; in contrast, Robinhood Chain experienced a net outflow of about 18.04 million USD in the last 24 hours. Earlier data from September 5 showed that Robinhood Chain had a net outflow of approximately 21.07 million USD in a single day, making it the network with the largest capital outflow among major public chains that day.In terms of capital activity, although Robinhood Chain experienced a net outflow, on-chain trading activity remained relatively high. DeFiLlama data shows that its DEX trading volume in the past 7 days was approximately 10.424 billion USD, an increase of 95.26% compared to the previous week, with a DEX trading volume of about 1.368 billion USD in the last 24 hours; BNB Chain's DEX trading volume in the past 7 days was approximately 8.254 billion USD, a weekly increase of 20.99%, with a net inflow of about 28.22 million USD in the last 24 hours.Meanwhile, data from September 6 indicated that Solana's DEX trading volume in the past 24 hours was approximately 1.96 billion USD, surpassing BNB Chain's 1.64 billion USD and Robinhood Chain's 1.61 billion USD, reclaiming the top spot in DEX trading volume among mainstream public chains. Overall, the past weekend showed characteristics of "high trading activity maintained, with a rebalancing of capital flow" among mainstream public chains: BNB Chain continued to absorb funds against a backdrop of high trading volume, while Robinhood Chain, despite rapid growth in DEX trading volume, experienced continuous net outflows, suggesting that some funds may be leaving the network after high-frequency trading.

first_img OpenAI Chief Scientist says AI may continue to rise rapidly to recursive self-improvement

OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki published an article titled "An Alien Mind" on September 6, 2026. The article reviews the results of the RLSlow research project, which emerged in mid-2023, demonstrating the first scalable training of reasoning models. It states that three years later, reasoning language models have become part of rapid economic growth, beginning to push scientific boundaries, capable of operating computers and graphical interfaces, collaborating with humans and other AIs on research projects, while also changing the landscape of computer security and introducing new dangers.The author anticipates that the current pace of progress may continue towards recursive self-improvement based on internal results. If AI development continues along the current path, systems may experience equivalent or greater leaps in capability in the coming years, increasingly driving their own development. The author calls for extreme caution, believing that no one is prepared to deal with the consequences of the rapid rise of machine intelligence. OpenAI will continue to seek technical solutions for alignment and monitoring, build defensive systems, and unilaterally halt further scaling when necessary, but believes broader intervention is needed.The article states that machine intelligence is primarily driven by increased computational power, with AI growing more than being designed. In terms of alignment, it distinguishes between goal alignment and value alignment, with the core challenge being generalization. GPT-6 Astra shows significantly better alignment than GPT-5.6 Sol, but more progress is still needed. In monitoring, the focus is mainly on chain-of-thought monitoring, with assessments showing that reliance on capabilities is gradually weakening. In terms of scalable defense, models are becoming superhuman in breaking into computer systems, currently in a narrow window where using the best available models significantly enhances the security of critical systems.
