In response to the statement made by the so-called "former Binance listing manager Chase" in an interview regarding "the short-term price of cryptocurrencies being influenced by liquidity, attention, and chip structure," He Yi stated, "Short-term prices are indeed greatly affected by liquidity, traffic, and token structure, but whether the hype can transcend cycles depends on factors such as revenue, empowerment, issuance, and destruction. For example, BTC, ETH, and BNB have all broken free from the constraints of the first three elements. The crypto industry has been financing through storytelling for many years; the narrative is dead, and practicality must prevail."

The distributed AI lab Gradient today released the Echo-2 distributed reinforcement learning framework, aimed at breaking the barriers of training efficiency in AI research. By achieving a complete decoupling of Learner and Actor at the architectural level, Echo-2 has reduced the post-training cost of a 30B model from $4,500 to $425. This results in over 10 times the research throughput under the same budget.The framework utilizes compute-storage separation technology for asynchronous training (Async RL), offloading massive sampling computation to unstable GPU instances and Parallax-based heterogeneous GPUs. Coupled with breakthroughs in bounded staleness, instance fault-tolerant scheduling, and the self-developed Lattica communication protocol, it significantly enhances training efficiency while ensuring model accuracy. Along with the framework release, Gradient will soon launch the RLaaS platform Logits, promoting the shift in AI research from a "capital accumulation" paradigm to an "efficiency iteration" paradigm. Logits is now open for reservations for students and researchers worldwide.

According to Cointelegraph, India is exploring the cross-border use of the digital rupee (e-rupee) to reduce payment costs, enhance trade settlement efficiency, and expand the global role of the rupee.The report states that as a sovereign digital currency issued by the Reserve Bank of India, the e-rupee enables direct and final settlement without relying on multiple intermediaries in international payments. Currently, India has proposed linking the e-rupee with the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) of other countries, particularly those in the BRICS, to streamline cross-border trade, remittances, and tourism settlements.

Indonesia Blockchain Week 2025Indonesia Blockchain Week (IDBW) 2025 will be held at the Jakarta International Conference Center. As one of the most representative blockchain and Web3 conferences in Southeast Asia, this event focuses on the core topic of "AI, Blockchain, and Tokenization Solutions," bringing together over 5,000 participants from industries, investments, finance, and government regulation.During the conference, TRON founder Justin Sun was invited to deliver a video speech, emphasizing the recent progress of the TRON network and ecosystem. He mentioned that the number of on-chain users of TRON has exceeded 350 million, with an average of over 10 million transactions processed daily and over 3 million daily active users; in addition, TRON's protocol revenue in the last two quarters has approached $1 billion per quarter. In terms of governance, Justin Sun stated that the TRON community has passed a proposal to reduce energy fees by 60% to enhance transaction efficiency and cost experience.In terms of ecology, Justin Sun highlighted the growth of applications such as stablecoins and DeFi, and shared the latest developments of T3 FCU and T3+ in combating illegal activities on-chain and promoting industry collaboration. He introduced that the T3 FCU established by TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs has frozen over $300 million in involved assets in less than a year and previously announced the launch of the T3+ global collaboration plan to expand industry cooperation and jointly combat illegal activities on-chain.

During an interview with The Katie Miller Podcast, Musk stated that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he once led, was "somewhat successful," but if given another chance, he would not participate in such government affairs again and would instead focus on his own companies.Musk mentioned that the name DOGE originated from a suggestion online and that it was essentially a department established to cut government spending. In the interview, he also discussed his brief experience in Washington, U.S. immigration policy, AI, and space exploration, stating that the government should "do as little as possible."Earlier this year, Musk left his position after conflicts with the government team due to political controversies over government spending cuts and incidents of vandalism at Tesla stores in multiple locations, but he later repaired his relationship with President Trump.

a16z stated in its latest article on quantum attacks that Bitcoin faces two significant real-world challenges, making the transition to quantum-resistant digital signatures urgent.The first issue is governance efficiency; the upgrade process for Bitcoin is extremely slow. If the community cannot reach a consensus on solutions, any controversial topic could lead to a destructive hard fork. The second issue is the proactivity of migration; the transition to quantum-resistant signatures cannot be done passively, and holders must actively migrate their assets. This means that a large number of dormant coins, which are vulnerable to quantum attacks, will lose their protection. It is estimated that the number of such Bitcoin, which are susceptible to quantum attacks and may be abandoned, reaches millions, with a current market value of up to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that in recent years, Ethereum has effectively enhanced protocol security and long-term adaptability by continuously introducing multiple "hard fixed rules." He recalled: In 2021: EIP-2929 and EIP-3529, which raised storage read costs and reduced Gas refunds; In 2024: Along with the Shanghai upgrade, weakened contract destruction instructions; In 2025: Set a Gas limit of 16,777,216 for a single transaction.Vitalik pointed out that these changes set clear upper limits on the maximum throughput for a single block and a single transaction, helping to avoid various types of denial-of-service attacks, simplifying client implementation, and providing more room for improving system efficiency. He also mentioned that more hard limits are expected to be introduced in the future, including: limiting the total byte size of accessible code (short-term increase in the cost of calling large contracts, mid-term adoption of binary tree structures and billing by data block); setting a maximum computation cycle for zero-knowledge EVM validators and synchronously adjusting costs; adjusting memory billing methods to set clearer upper limits on maximum memory consumption for the EVM.

During the Binance Blockchain Week, ChainCatcher interviewed He Yi, the co-founder of Binance, regarding today's announcement of her appointment as "Co-CEO."
