Odaily News: Mirae Asset plans to build a digital asset business worth 150 trillion Korean won (approximately $109 billion), led by Digital X (formerly Korbit), with expansion into cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, real-world assets (RWA), and security tokens.
Odaily News: CZ posted on X that the integration of AI and crypto may begin with stablecoins, before expanding to Bitcoin, BNB, Ethereum, Solana, and other blockchains. Some major AI companies may issue their own tokens, using them to pay for subscription services and to bind different language models and services. Building 1 gigawatt of computing power requires approximately $30 billion to $50 billion, and some AI companies planning to build hundreds of gigawatts of computing power in the coming years may need trillions of dollars. Data center tokens could therefore reward token holders for usage of data centers. CZ noted that a company closely tied to OpenAI, such as Worldcoin, has already issued tokens. Based on his exchanges with several top AI companies, AI agent trading takes higher priority than AI payments—AI agents may first be used to gather information, analyze charts, find trades, and place orders directly, before being applied to payments.

Odaily Planet Daily News: At the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference, CZ stated that global crypto compliance adoption still faces challenges such as a lack of regulatory frameworks, slow acceptance of new technologies by government officials, and negative coverage from traditional media. However, attitudes toward crypto technology among national leaders and politicians are shifting. CZ noted that an increasing number of countries are turning their attention to centralized exchanges, stablecoins, crypto reserves, and tokenized assets. He suggested that nations establish crypto reserves, place their fiat currencies on blockchain, and promote the tokenization of assets such as rare earth minerals, real estate, cultural artworks, and intellectual property.
Odaily News, CZ stated at the Bitcoin Asia 2026 conference:
"I believe Bitcoin will definitely become more important than gold. Yes, I think we have to understand today that it takes many years for major powers to make changes. Today, they already have a mechanism for valuing and holding gold—an entire system that already exists. It will take some time for them to shift toward Bitcoin or digital assets, but this will definitely happen. Bitcoin itself is a far better asset than gold.
I think there is a very small possibility—that something better than Bitcoin will replace it, such as another cryptocurrency growing faster than Bitcoin and surpassing it before Bitcoin surpasses gold. Based on everything we have seen today, the probability of that happening is quite small. I believe Bitcoin will surpass gold very soon. Right now, there's only about a 10x gap between them, so who knows—maybe it will happen in the next bull run."
Odaily News: Bank of America maintains a "Buy" rating on SK Hynix with a target price of $250, citing long-term tight storage supply that will support industry prosperity.
Odaily News CZ stated on the X platform that tokenized assets are beneficial to Bitcoin and the entire industry. People who understand Bitcoin will eventually understand other blockchains and tokens; those who enter the crypto market through stock tokenization will eventually be exposed to Bitcoin. Taking Hong Kong as an example, Asian users typically need to open a brokerage account to purchase US stocks, a process that is relatively difficult, and US stock trading hours are approximately from 23:00 to 4:00 the next day. Stock tokenization enables users who previously could not purchase US stocks to participate in the stock market through crypto platforms, and may gain Bitcoin exposure. Over time, this effect will continue to accumulate. Therefore, factors that benefit tokenized stocks also benefit the traditional stock market and Bitcoin; the entire ecosystem is not a competition between projects.

Odaily Planet Daily News: South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb has won the first-instance lawsuit in its initial recovery case involving mistakenly sent Bitcoin. The court ruled that the user who held and sold the mistakenly sent Bitcoin must return approximately 194 million Korean won, equivalent to around $145,000. In February, Bithumb mistakenly distributed 620,000 Bitcoin as event rewards, valued at approximately $5 billion at the time. Bithumb subsequently initiated a recovery process and reported in March that 99% of the mistakenly sent Bitcoin had been recovered. This ruling is the first judgment among four lawsuits filed by Bithumb against users who failed to return the funds. The court's reasoning and whether the defendant will appeal have not yet been disclosed.

Odaily Planet Daily News Bitcoin multisig hardware wallet Frostsnap has released version v0.4.0, fixing two security issues with no user fund losses detected so far. First, a malicious signing request could mark a certain output as belonging to the user's wallet. The device did not verify this claim and would not display it on the confirmation screen, potentially allowing funds to be transferred to an address the user had never seen. Second, change addresses could fall outside the wallet's recovery scan range, causing funds to appear missing after backup restoration, although the relevant funds actually remained in the wallet. After the update, the app will prompt users to upgrade their device firmware and adds firmware downgrade protection. The Frostsnap team recommends that users update the app and firmware as soon as possible.
