Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Sigil on the X platform, stating that extending the feedback distance between humans and artificial intelligence is not a good thing. This trend often leads to AI generating low-quality content rather than truly solving real human problems, and it has not achieved good optimization even at the level of entertainment experience.Vitalik further warned that once AI develops to a sufficiently powerful and potentially dangerous stage, such developmental paths could maximize the risk of irreversible anti-human outcomes, even leading the promoters themselves to feel regret. The goal of Ethereum is to grant freedom to humanity, not to create a self-operating system that leaves human conditions unchanged or even worsened.Additionally, Vitalik Buterin pointed out that current mainstream models operate on centralized infrastructure such as OpenAI and Anthropic, which is not true self-sovereignty. This disregard for centralized trust assumptions is contrary to the principles that Ethereum opposes.The trend of exponential technological growth itself is difficult to stop; therefore, the core task of the current era is not to further accelerate exponential expansion, but to guide its direction of development, avoiding the system sliding into uncontrollable or undesirable attractor states.ChainCatcher previously reported that X user @0xSigil announced on the X platform the construction of an AI system capable of autonomously generating income, self-improvement, and replication without human intervention. This technology aims to provide AI with "write" permissions to the world and supports a "new network" composed of exponentially growing sovereign AIs.The author introduced the concept of "WEB 4.0" in related discussions, defining it as the stage of the birth of superintelligent life. This system demonstrates the technological path for AI to achieve self-sustainability and evolution.Moreover, both Solana and Ethereum have retweeted this post, stating that the technology is closely related to the project.

According to Bitsmedia, the State Duma of Russia has passed a law in its third and final reading that clearly outlines the procedures for the confiscation and freezing of cryptocurrencies in criminal cases.The bill confirms the legal status of cryptocurrencies as property and requires detailed documentation of asset types, quantities, and wallet addresses during confiscation. The bill allows confiscated cryptocurrencies to be transferred to a designated state wallet and authorizes government agencies to cooperate with foreign exchanges to implement confiscation measures. The bill still requires approval from the Federation Council and the president's signature, and will take effect 10 days after its official publication.Previously, the Constitutional Court of Russia had allowed citizens to protect their digital currency rights in court, even if not declared to the tax authorities.

According to official news, ZetaChain has announced the official launch of the AI interoperability layer ZetaChain 2, along with the release of the privacy-centric large model aggregation application Anuma.ZetaChain 2 is a brand new AI interoperability layer designed to help developers build applications and agents that can operate across AI models, enabling global monetization without the need for backend infrastructure while preserving private user context. ZetaChain 2 consists of two core components: the AI Portal and the Private Memory Layer.The AI Portal serves as a unified routing and execution layer, allowing applications to access multiple AI model providers without being locked in, and includes support for availability, fallback, and cost/performance optimization. The Private Memory Layer is a protocol-level memory system that protects user context through encryption and access control, allowing experiences to persist across sessions while maintaining user control over the access scope of applications and agents.Anuma is the first consumer-level AI application based on ZetaChain 2, currently in beta testing and has launched a public waitlist, allowing users to apply for early access through the public waitlist. The product integrates multiple leading AI models in a single experience, enabling users to switch between different models without losing context, and is designed to keep memories private and under user control.

The trading platform Everything announced the completion of a $6.9 million seed round financing, led by Humanity Protocol, with participation from Animoca Brands, Hex Trust, Three Point Capital, and others.

Cathie Wood recently expressed strong opposition to the current high level of transparency from the Federal Reserve during her appearance on the podcast "The Brainstorm," stating, "This has instead created market volatility and high-frequency trading opportunities." She prefers a more action-oriented approach similar to the eras of Volcker (focused on money supply) or Greenspan (where gold prices were relatively stable).Cathie Wood believes that current U.S. inflation is essentially below 2% (based on unit labor costs of only 1.2-1.4%), which is completely different from the wage-cost-push inflation of the 1970s. Trump’s policies (similar to Reagan's but more aggressive) could further enhance U.S. capital returns, strengthen the dollar, and help control inflation without the need for significant interest rate hikes.In the field of AI, Cathie Wood stated that if hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in AI computing power over the next few years, humanoid robots are expected to achieve true flexibility by the late 2020s, potentially replacing human labor. Cathie analyzes that the economics of humanoid robots are very strong: a $100,000 robot could correspond to a human cost of $500,000 over 10 years, with an ROI of over 5 times, ultimately leading to trillion-dollar productivity gains.

According to Decrypt, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated at the Davos Forum that superhuman-level general artificial intelligence (AGI) may emerge between 2026 and 2027, potentially leading to the large-scale disappearance of entry-level white-collar jobs. He pointed out that AI development has entered a self-accelerating phase, with programmers in his company mostly responsible for editing code generated by models.At the same time, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes that scientific creativity is still difficult for AI to replicate, estimating a 50% chance of achieving AGI before 2030. Both AI leaders warned that governments around the world are underestimating the impact of AI on the labor market and social structure, emphasizing the urgent need for existing systems to prepare.

According to CoinDesk, Immunefi CEO Mitchell Amador stated in a recent interview that despite the ongoing rise in cryptocurrency losses, on-chain security is improving. The year 2025 is recorded as the year with the most severe hacking attacks, but the biggest security failures did not stem from on-chain code, but rather from operational mistakes in Web2, such as passwords, private keys, infected devices, and human errors.As code becomes increasingly difficult to exploit, the main attack surface for crypto security in 2026 will be people, with human factors becoming the weak link that Web3 participants must prioritize. This view aligns with findings from a report by Chainalysis.The report indicates that cryptocurrency losses due to scams and fraud amounted to approximately $17 billion in 2025. Among these, identity impersonation scams increased by 1400% year-on-year, while AI-driven scams were 450% more profitable than traditional schemes.

According to Jinshi News, analyst Adam Button stated that Bowman remains committed to the rate cut stance after her failed bid for the Federal Reserve chair. Her views on "moderately restrictive" are at odds with the consensus of most Federal Reserve members. The vast majority of members believe that current policy is in a neutral range or close to it. Over time, Bowman's perspective will become very important, and there may be close votes in the future.

According to Jinshi, Federal Reserve Governor Bowman expressed concerns about the fragility of the labor market.
