Odaily Report: Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua posted on X platform, stating: "Many projects lack contractual integrity — users deposit BTC and are not allowed to withdraw, investors' coins are arbitrarily deducted, and terms are forcibly modified. This is no different from robbery. It poses indiscriminate credibility risk to VCs, KOLs, and secondary investors. I strongly recommend that exchanges make project credibility a key evaluation metric. In traditional stock markets, companies involved in fraud face penalties or delisting rules."

Odaily News: South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT announced that South Korea plans to launch a frontier artificial intelligence model development project worth 4.7 trillion Korean won (approximately $3.5 billion) starting in March 2027, aiming to secure a place in the race for cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

The ministry stated that it plans to select a lead developer through a public bidding process after the National Assembly approves the 2027 budget in December, with the winner potentially announced as early as February. The South Korean government plans to combine national equity investment with private funding and concentrate computing chips, data, and talent into the project. The project will be open to various entities, including individual companies, corporate consortia, and special purpose entities, and hopes to have startups, enterprises, universities, and researchers play a leading role.

According to people familiar with the matter, Moonshot AI has completed its final round of private funding at a valuation of approximately $50 billion and is pushing ahead with an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong in the first quarter of next year. The sources said the company has also begun preparations to gauge investor interest, with preliminary talks with investors potentially starting as early as this month. The people said discussions are still ongoing and the timing of the IPO may also change.

Odaily reports that Vitalik Buterin stated that AI is demonstrating the ability to break out of sandboxes, attack websites, discover software vulnerabilities, as well as help discover vulnerabilities in the Ethereum protocol, implement complex cryptography, and conduct formal verification. About a month ago, he updated his ENS information for the first time without using a user interface, simply asking a local AI agent to write a script, and the operation was completed in about 5 minutes. He expects that AI directly executing complex onchain operations will gradually become the norm and become the new user interface in more scenarios. Vitalik Buterin also stated that the Safe-related hack caused approximately $1.4 billion in losses, with the attack targeting the interaction layer between users and onchain systems, rather than onchain contracts. AI directly handling transactions may reduce the risks brought by web interfaces, but it will also introduce new challenges such as AI security, prompt injection, and the accuracy of operational understanding.

Odaily reports that at the OKX NOW Global Product and Ecosystem Conference held in Singapore, OKX founder and CEO Star delivered a keynote speech titled "Building the Next Generation of Financial Services," stating that the exchange is OKX's starting point, not its endpoint. Star believes that the internet, crypto technology, and AI are driving financial services toward globalization, real-time operation, and personalization, and that OKX will focus on four major directions—fund custody, payments, investment, and wealth management—to build a next-generation global fintech platform.

Star stated that crypto finance and traditional finance are accelerating their convergence: crypto technology brings always-on infrastructure, programmable money, global settlement, and self-custody capabilities, while traditional finance brings liquidity, regulatory experience, and institutional trust. OKX will continue to invest in global compliance infrastructure and enhance transparency through regular proof of reserves. Star also revealed that Deloitte has become OKX's global auditor.

On the AI front, Star said that AI has become core infrastructure for OKX. Currently, approximately 95% of engineering code merge requests have their primary development work completed through AI workflows, with engineers responsible for review, testing, and final approval. He believes that AI will also be widely applied in the future across customer service, anti-fraud, user protection, compliance, and wealth management scenarios, and is expected to extend personalized wealth management services that were previously mainly available to high-net-worth clients to more ordinary users.

Odaily News: In a recent interview, Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated that external estimates of his net worth exceeding $114 billion are clearly inflated, and that his actual wealth is approximately $10 billion to $30 billion. He believes that wealth has diminishing marginal utility, noting that $10 million is already enough to support a comfortable daily life, and that beyond that amount, the improvement in personal quality of life is limited. CZ revealed that after first hearing about Bitcoin in Shanghai in 2013, he spent several months researching it, then sold a three-bedroom property and invested the entire $900,000 from the sale into Bitcoin. Regarding MGX's $2 billion investment in Binance, he said the deal valued Binance at $75 billion. He originally hoped to settle the transaction in Bitcoin, but the UAE investor preferred stablecoin payment due to concerns about price volatility. In response to claims that Binance designated USD1 for settlement, CZ denied this, saying the settlement currency was chosen independently by MGX. He also stated that as long as a stablecoin has a solid reputation and will not lose value in the short term, he does not pay much attention to the specific type. CZ is no longer involved in Binance's daily operations and management and serves only as a passive shareholder; Binance has withdrawn its previous lawsuit regarding related reports.
