Huang's AGI claim sparks debate as Nvidia touts token-backed AI push

Jensen Huang sparked a debate by saying 'we've achieved AGI' in one interview, then tempered the claim by acknowledging current AI systems still require significant human guidance; at the same time he pushes a token-based approach to scale AI work, suggesting engineers should spend more on tokens and even proposing token-based compensation, a theme that surfaced in two interviews days apart as the industry weighs what qualifies as AGI.

Huang urges Nvidia engineers to spend half their compensation on AI tokens

Multichain Bridges Exploited, Crypto Assets Lost in $130M Scandal

Multichain, a cross-chain router, has confirmed an exploit that affected $130 million in user-supplied tokens, urging users to suspend its services and revoke contract approvals. The exploit impacted bridges on the Fantom, Moonriver, and Dogechain networks, resulting in significant outflows of various tokens. Stolen tokens have not been sent to exchanges or mixing services, and related tokens such as Fantom (FTM), Moonriver (MOVR), and Dogechain (DC) have experienced price drops. Bridges, which facilitate token transfers between networks, have been a vulnerable target, with billions lost to bridge-based exploits in recent years.

Bitcoin's Latest Craze: Record Transactions and High Fees Driven by Memecoin Hype and BRC-20 Tokens

BRC-20s are fungible tokens deployed on the Bitcoin blockchain, enabled by new features introduced in Bitcoin's recent Taproot upgrade. While they have interesting potential, experts have issued strong warnings against financial speculation in the new token format. BRC-20s are not broadly compatible with smart contract or decentralized finance (DeFi) systems, and their structure may wind up being radically different from tokens on Ethereum. For now, BRC-20s can't serve as the backbone of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) or other more complex systems that would give them utility and value.

Nigeria's SEC to Allow Asset-Backed Tokens, Not Cryptocurrency.

Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing new regulations for digital asset platforms, considering allowing licensed digital exchanges to list tokens backed by certain assets like equity, debt, or property, but not cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ether. The SEC aims to register fintech firms as digital sub-brokers, crowdfunding intermediaries, fund managers, and tokenized coins issuers, but will not register crypto exchanges until the central bank provides clear regulations for the crypto market. License applicants would undergo a year of "regulatory incubation," allowing the SEC to study their operations and render their services in the country.
