ME News message, March 30 (UTC+8), artificial intelligence pioneer Jürgen Schmidhuber will deliver a lecture titled "Lectio Magistralis" in Turin on March 31, 2026. According to the article, the lecture will review and look forward to the past, present, future, and distant future of machine learning and artificial intelligence, covering Schmidhuber's foundational contributions in areas such as generative artificial intelligence (like GAN, Transformer, self-supervised pre-training, neural network distillation), LSTM, Highway Net, meta-learning, and neural AI. The article suggests that the lecture will place the development of AI in the context of cosmic history and look forward to AI transitioning from virtual to reality, evolving into physical AI for real robots, ultimately forming autonomous machine civilization, while in the short term, it will make human life longer, healthier, and easier.

ME News message, March 29 (UTC+8), Gnosis co-founder Friederike Ernst and Zisk founder Jordi Baylina announced the launch of the 'Ethereum Economic Zone' (EEZ) Rollup framework at the EthCC conference, receiving funding from the Ethereum Foundation. This framework aims to enhance composability between Rollups, allowing their smart contracts to interact in sync with the Ethereum mainnet and other EEZ networks while maintaining security consistent with the mainnet. EEZ defaults to using ETH as the Gas token, requiring no additional cross-chain bridge infrastructure. Initial project members include Aave, Titan, Beaver Build, Centrifuge, and xStocks, with plans to operate as a Swiss non-profit organization. The related software will be released as open source, and technical details are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. (Source: ME)

On March 23, Circle froze the USDC balances in 16 cryptocurrency companies' hot wallets.

These addresses are not hackers, not sanctioned entities, nor North Korean state agencies. They are normal operating businesses, handling transactions for users.

On-chain analyst ZachXBT exposed this matter. After communicating directly with one of the affected companies, he learned that the freeze was related to an ongoing civil case in the U.S., but the details of the case have not been made public. He assessed that, with basic verification, it is clear that these are all operational wallets. The platforms he mentioned in Telegram include: Ranj.gg, Clank.gg, Whale.gg, Goated.com, 500 Casino, Pepperstone, FXPro, HeroFx, AMarkets. They cover exchanges, casinos, and forex platforms, with no obvious connections between them.

What shapes the global AI landscape is not just a battle over technological routes, but also a personal trauma that has never healed.

(Wall Street Journal) Reporter Keach Hagey published a lengthy investigative report, systematically revealing for the first time the personal grievances that have persisted for a decade between the founders of Anthropic and OpenAI, through extensive interviews with current and former employees and associates of both companies. What shapes the global AI landscape is not just a battle over technological routes, but also a personal trauma that has never healed.

Dario Amodei's internal rhetoric has been much more intense in recent months than in public settings. He likened the legal dispute between Sam Altman and Elon Musk to "Hitler vs. Stalin", calling OpenAI President Greg Brockman's $25 million donation to a pro-Trump super PAC "evil", and comparing OpenAI and other competitors to "tobacco companies that knowingly sell harmful products."

In this article, we will examine some individuals, companies, and wallets that have become crypto whales based on on-chain data and their own public statements, and investigate the amount of Bitcoin they hold.

Introduction

If different wallets are merged into one entity, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, is the largest holder, possessing 1.096 million Bitcoins (approximately 77 billion dollars). Arkham's label comes from a known mining pattern referred to as the 'Patoshi pattern' and includes Satoshi's only (known) address for spending Bitcoins. Research indicates that he acquired this Bitcoin as a reward for mining 22,000 blocks.

While reading the recent report released by Galaxy Research, I gained one of the clearest insights into the future value of x402.

By establishing a framework based on the principle of 'general law' and broadly defining the function of 'payment instruments', future innovations can be automatically included in the regulatory view, thereby breaking the passive cycle of 'innovation-regulation-re-innovation-re-regulation' and guiding financial innovation towards directions that are more beneficial to social welfare.

In March 2026, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) published a working paper 'From cash to crypto: towards a consistent regulatory approach to illicit payments'. This paper discusses the challenges faced by anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regulation in the context of the diversification of payment instruments. The article proposes a conceptual framework to analyze the regulatory arbitrage risks arising from the different levels of intermediary participation in various payment instruments, namely the 'waterbed effect'.

ME News message, March 29 (UTC+8), during Trump's second term, trades that were precisely arranged before the announcement of his major policies may have brought millions of dollars in profits to some traders. Several legal experts have stated that these trades should be investigated to maintain market fairness and to determine whether there was any information leakage. According to a Reuters analysis, before the Trump administration made a series of key decisions regarding tariffs, Venezuela, and Iran, there were already suspected pre-arranged trades in the market. These trades involved different types of markets and assets, such as options, commodity futures, and prediction markets. Andrew Wostein, an insider trading expert at UCLA School of Law, stated that these trades look very suspicious. Although the number of cases is limited, these patterns align with expectations—such situations arise when government officials and their friends trade using information advantages. Former CFTC enforcement director and former federal prosecutor Eitan Gorman stated that such trades often attract regulatory attention, but the laws regarding insider trading in the commodity markets are relatively complex, and there are still few precedents in this area.
