Citigroup analysts pointed out that leading memory chip manufacturers are expected to benefit from the structural changes in the development of artificial intelligence. The agency anticipates that continuous learning will drive a significant increase in memory demand, leading to a supply shortage in the market that will continue until 2031. Continuous learning strengthens models by training on new tasks and knowledge, which will create a sustained demand for model updates and access to historical data, driving the storage usage of products such as HBM, server DDR5, and eSSD.Citigroup expects HBM bit demand to grow by 62% year-on-year to 75.2 billion gigabits in 2027, and by 69% year-on-year to 127 billion gigabits in 2028. Global DRAM demand is expected to grow by 30% and 35% year-on-year in 2027 and 2028, respectively, while supply is expected to grow by only 19% and 22% during the same period, resulting in supply-demand ratios of -8.7% and -9.7%. In terms of NAND, demand is expected to grow by 29% and 33% year-on-year in 2027 and 2028, respectively, exceeding supply growth of 21% and 25%, with supply-demand ratios of -6.1% and -5.5%.Citigroup's preferred storage targets include Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Micron, Sandisk, and Kioxia, corresponding to the logic of storage shortages brought about by continuous learning, demand for HBM and server DDR5, DRAM supply shortages, and tightening supply of high-density eSSD and NAND.

Coinbase stated that it is optimizing the rule creation process in its anti-fraud system by integrating machine learning models with a rules engine, achieving more efficient risk management. It also proposed a dual-track strategy of "models responsible for long-term defense, rules responsible for rapid response," and built a unified framework to create a feedback loop between the two: rules are used to capture new types of fraud and train the model in reverse, thereby continuously enhancing overall defense capabilities.In terms of specific optimizations, Coinbase has transformed the previously manual rule creation process into a data-driven and automated recommendation system by restructuring data, automating schema evolution, and introducing notebook-based analytical tools, significantly improving efficiency. Among these improvements, the performance of rule backtesting has increased by more than 10 times, and the overall response time has been reduced from several days to a few hours. Additionally, the new system uses machine learning to recommend parameters, helping to reduce false positive rates while combating fraud and minimizing the impact on normal users. Coinbase indicated that the next step will be to advance event-driven automatic rule generation and explore the "one-click conversion" of efficient rules into model features, further moving towards an automated risk management system.

Distributed AI Lab Gradient has released the Echo-2 distributed reinforcement learning framework, aiming to break the barriers of training efficiency in AI research by decoupling the Learner and Actor at the architectural level to reduce the post-training costs of large models.Official data shows that this framework can reduce the post-training cost of a 30B model from $4500 to $425. Echo-2 utilizes separation of storage and computation technology for asynchronous training (Async RL), supporting the offloading of sampling computation to unstable GPU instances and Parallax-based heterogeneous GPUs. Additionally, Gradient plans to launch the RLaaS (Reinforcement Learning as a Service) platform Logits, which is currently open for reservations for students and researchers.

ChainCatcher news, the Learning Times public account hosted by the Central Party School published an article titled "The Wartime Military Functions of Digital Currency," which points out that digital currency is gradually becoming an important strategic tool in geopolitical competition. With the decentralized characteristics of blockchain technology, digital currency can provide advantages such as rapid fund mobilization, anonymous transactions, and evasion of sanctions during wartime, demonstrating military value in various geopolitical conflicts.Three main military application models of digital currency have emerged globally: "resource tokenization" in resource-rich countries (such as Venezuela's Petro), "decentralized crowdfunding" in small and medium-sized countries, and "on-chain sanctions" in developed countries. The "Defense Blockchain Internal Testing Program" mentioned in the U.S. "Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act" may become an important strategic tool for future "financial defense."Experts believe that although digital currency faces limitations such as market acceptance and regulatory policies, its militarized applications will continue to develop, potentially breaking through conventional functions in the future and transforming into a multifunctional strategic platform that integrates security assurance, combat support, and digital confrontation.

ChainCatcher news, the Learning Times public account hosted by the Central Party School published an article titled "The Technical Principles and Trust Logic of Stablecoins," which points out: "Against the backdrop of digital finance accelerating its penetration into the global trade system, cryptocurrencies represented by Bitcoin and Ethereum have attracted widespread attention, but their severe price volatility makes them difficult to serve mainstream payment functions.Stablecoins represented by Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) establish anchoring mechanisms with fiat currencies, retaining the advantages of efficient circulation and low costs based on blockchain payments while avoiding the disadvantages of instability associated with traditional cryptocurrencies, thus becoming a hotspot for current digital financial innovation.Recently, relevant bills and regulatory measures introduced in the United States, the European Union, and Hong Kong have laid a compliance foundation for the development of stablecoins, which are increasingly favored by global compliant investors and gradually integrating into the mainstream financial system."

ChainCatcher message, Binance co-founder He Yi posted a personal Meme learning note on social media, stating, "Meme transcends cultural boundaries, representing the ultimate expression of the crowd and the influence of subcultures on mainstream culture. Every culture has resonant groups; Meme does not follow trends but creates them.Dogecoin, as a symbol of crypto culture, proves that Meme originates from community consensus rather than celebrity statements. True Meme comes from cultural accumulation, not fleeting attention hotspots.Long-termism remains effective; investors should operate according to market cycles, understanding when to hold or take profits. The crypto market will stabilize over time, and opportunities will always exist.My assets are mainly tokens; a long-term holding style is not suitable for most people, but some principles can be referenced: earn profits through economic cycles, sell in bull markets, buy in bear markets; in asset allocation, at least 20% should be invested in tokens; when using leverage or investing in high-risk tokens, it should not exceed 10% of disposable assets. Most importantly, understand the principles and put them into practice; like losing weight, understanding is easy, but implementation is difficult."
