The Humanity Foundation recently requested early investors to make a binary decision regarding the ownership plan for the $H token. On-chain monitoring data shows that the well-known market maker Jump Trading's associated address transferred 50 million $H to a centralized exchange on April 26, just before the deadline for investor responses.Further on-chain records indicate that Jump Trading began transferring $H tokens in batches starting from December 2025, with a cumulative processing scale measured in hundreds of millions. Trix Ventures subsequently released an on-chain analysis report, indicating that Jump Trading's actions, combined with the foundation's enforced binary decision plan, may trigger market participants to price in the unlocking event on June 25 in advance.

AI Smart Routing and Infrastructure Network DGrid AI officially announces the launch of its AI inference API integrated with the x402 payment protocol. This API seamlessly merges payment logic with AI model invocation for the first time, allowing developers and AI Agents to complete authorization, inference, and payment within a single API request lifecycle without managing cumbersome API Keys or requiring centralized account pre-funding.It is reported that this API currently supports BNB Chain (BSC) as the underlying settlement network. With the micropayment features of the x402 protocol, the system can achieve extremely low-friction on-chain real-time settlement while ensuring that invocation costs remain absolutely controllable. Additionally, this API supports streaming responses and real-time usage feedback while being compatible with mainstream AI invocation methods, making it suitable for various application scenarios, including model selection for AI Agents, inference billing, intelligent agents, and multi-task execution.DGrid states that this initiative aims to completely break the prepaid barriers of traditional large model invocation and provide a programmable underlying payment infrastructure for building a fully automated AI Agent economy (machine-to-machine transactions).

Paul Atkins, the Chairman of the SEC, delivered a speech on the first anniversary of his inauguration at the Washington Economic Club, stating that the SEC is advancing reforms to the regulatory framework for digital assets and incorporating it into the "A - C - T" strategy, which aims to modernize regulation, clarify regulatory boundaries, and reshape the rule system.Regarding crypto assets, the SEC has released a classification system for crypto tokens, dividing digital assets into five categories, four of which do not fall under securities. It indicated that the SEC is about to launch an "innovation exemption" mechanism to provide a limited framework for market participants to conduct tokenized securities trading on-chain in a compliant manner, and has initiated Project Crypto to adapt securities rules and regulatory systems to the trend of capital markets moving on-chain.Additionally, the SEC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CFTC last month to unify key definitions, clarify regulatory jurisdictions, and coordinate joint regulatory matters, including digital assets. Paul Atkins also stated that the previous regulatory approach to crypto assets in the U.S. had led to innovation activities flowing overseas.

The 0G Foundation announced a partnership with Alibaba Cloud to launch on-chain access to the Qianwen large model for AI agents.This move shifts artificial intelligence infrastructure from centralized, API-based systems to programmable, tokenized access specifically designed for autonomous agents. Through this collaboration, 0G allows developers to directly embed access to Qianwen into their infrastructure via a token-based mechanism. This eliminates the need for traditional account management and enables on-demand programmable access to AI computation. Agents running on 0G can query the Qianwen large model to generate responses, process information, or execute tasks in real-time.Michael Heinrich, CEO and co-founder of 0G Labs, stated, "From a macro perspective, inference runs on Qianwen, and verification runs on 0G—this builds a more complete computational and trust foundation for autonomous AI systems. The integration of 0G with Alibaba Cloud's Qianwen marks a milestone, achieving the fusion of top-tier intelligence and trusted infrastructure."

ChainCatcher reported live that Tang Bo, Assistant Dean of the Financial Research Institute at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Fei Si, Partner at King & Wood Mallesons, Diao Zhi Hai, Head of International Wealth Management at China International Capital Corporation, and Gavin Wang, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of SNZ Holding & SNZ Capital, jointly attended the HK Web3 Feastival roundtable discussion, sharing insights on "from asset registration" to "on-chain issuance," bridging the last mile of RWA cross-border compliance.Fei Si pointed out that the so-called "from asset registration to on-chain issuance" essentially establishes a replicable, sustainable, and legally compliant channel for "domestic assets, overseas issuance." He believes that the most critical aspect at this stage is to first establish a solid transaction structure and top-level product design, clarifying whether the product is classified as equity or debt, as this will directly determine the corresponding regulatory authorities, communication methods, and subsequent legal document arrangements.Diao Zhi Hai approached the issue from the practical perspective of traditional financial institutions, stating that the biggest challenge currently is not a single isolated pain point, but how to systematically connect multiple compliance nodes to form a truly implementable closed-loop mechanism. He indicated that RWA cross-border projects involve not only financial regulation but also data cross-border, cybersecurity, foreign exchange management, and other departmental collaborations. Therefore, it is essential to examine whether the underlying assets can be clearly defined and mapped on-chain, who qualifies as the issuer and controlling entity, and whether the non-financial regulatory requirements throughout the process have been incorporated into the plan.Gavin Wang entered the discussion from the investment and market demand perspective, emphasizing that the global trend of asset tokenization is certain, and that high-quality Chinese assets are still significantly undervalued overseas. This means that as long as the cross-border compliance path is opened, market demand genuinely exists. He believes that investment institutions are most concerned with whether the entire project has clear compliance boundaries and marketability: red lines cannot be crossed, and gray areas must be approached with caution. What is truly worth investing in are those asset types with clearer regulatory expectations that investors can more easily understand and accept. In the long term, he is optimistic about two types of Chinese cross-border RWA targets: one type is large, high-quality Chinese assets that are easily understood by overseas investors, and the other type includes high-end manufacturing, robotics, AI, and pharmaceutical pipelines that are still undervalued overseas but possess global competitiveness.
