An ABC (African born Chinese) buidling the impossible with AI. Those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world usually do.

[Claw Collective @claw_collective]

Can 🇹🇭 compete in the AI race?

@0xgareth from Claw Collective broke down global vs Thai AI venture-building with both the Former Prime Minister and Minister of Finance in the room.

But the real signal: founders, researchers, VCs & policymakers building on each other’s ideas

[Pichapen @pichapen]

Democrat Party Thailand is hosting a forum on “Thailand in the AI Race” tomorrow afternoon.

The session aims to position Bangkok as a hub for AI builders, bringing together voices from across sectors to explore where Thailand stands in the global AI landscape.

The program features three panels covering the current AI landscape, regional momentum, and Thailand’s position today, including what comes next.

If you’re building in AI and want to shape the conversation and help push this agenda forward, join us.

OpenClaw KL is back — and this time, we're building.

Event #1 brought 280+ registrations and 150 builders into the room. The feedback was clear: go deeper. So Event #2 is a full hands-on workshop where every attendee builds something functional with skills, MCP, and CLI.

[Gareth @0xGareth]

I’ll probably look back at this moment years from now and still feel the same thing i feel today: conviction.

I got a @binance tattoo with @cz_binance, along with @luke, who also got both the Binance and @CoinMarketCap tattooed. Not because it was logical, not because it was planned. But because sometimes, the most meaningful decisions are the ones that come from pure belief.

To me, that tattoo represents something deeper than ink. It represents commitment: doing 100%, going all in, giving everything you’ve got, no hedging, no halfway.

and CZ embodies that.

Binance wasn’t just another exchange for me, it was the gateway. The first platform that brought me into crypto, into a world of possibility i didn’t know existed.

but what stayed with me wasn’t the product. it was the person behind it.

through everything, CZ stayed the same. Success didn’t distort his values, it didn’t dilute his beliefs. if anything, it sharpened them. Now, that’s rare.

The Binance logo means something to me too. Not just a brand, it’s a symbol of why many of us entered this space in the first place…
in blockchain we trust.
in code we trust.
in math we trust.
Decentralisation vs centralisation.

no intermediaries, no noise, just truth, systems, and belief in something bigger than ourselves.

CZ is 49 now. that means he has 51 more years until 100. Think about that.

we’ve seen what he built, but i’m even more excited about what’s ahead, especially EduTech like @GiggleAcademy, where knowledge becomes the ultimate unlock.

and now, we’re at the edge of something that feels familiar.

AI.

same raw energy as crypto, same curiosity, the same feeling that if you lean in now, you’re shaping what comes next.

I feel it the way i felt crypto in the early days… chaotic, misunderstood, but full of asymmetric opportunity.

The question isn’t whether AI will change everything. It’s how do we use AI to supercharge our ideas, businesses, impact?

that’s something we’re (@calchulus) actively exploring together, and growing communities like @claw_collective around it.

CZ once said he sees life as a game. Test limits, explore boundaries.

but with one rule: don’t hurt others.

that resonates deeply with me.

because at the end of the day, this isn’t about building companies or wealth.

it’s about playing the game fully with conviction, integrity, purpose.

and if you’re going to play…

you might as well go all in 💯

[YZi Labs @yzilabs]

<Freedom of Money> launches on April 8th.

The book is for those navigating uncertainty.
For builders seeking resilience.
For anyone curious about the Binance founding story.

@cz_binance has spent the first half of his life building the infrastructure for currency.

The second half is about building a legacy.

Watched this video and it’s keeping me sleepless now…

- #TeraFab is designed to move beyond traditional terrestrial AI to a “galactic” scale.
- Two types of chips TeraFab will produce:
- AI5 (Tesla) / A16 (Optimus) for edge inference;
- D3 radiation-hardened chips (SpaceX AI): integrated into Starlink V3 satellites to host orbiting data centers, using space vacuum for cooling and constant solar power for AI training and inference in orbit, bypassing Earth’s energy and heat limits (this is insanely visionary🤯).
- Chip volume: 100 to 200 billion chips per year.
- Goal: over 1 terawatt of compute annually (1 TW = 1,000 GW).
- Split: A : D = 20% : 80%

This is the wildest thing in 2026 so far. Most companies build products. Elon builds the machines that build the products—and now the chips that power the machines. 😱🤩

[Tesla @Tesla]

TERAFAB: the next step to becoming a galactic civilization

Together with @SpaceX & @xAI, we're building the largest chip manufacturing facility ever (1TW/year) – combining logic, memory & advanced packaging under one roof.

To harness as much power as possible from the Sun, we need to send 100 million tons of solar capture into space – per year.

This requires massive scale.

– Capability to launch millions of tons of mass into orbit

– Solar-powered AI satellites

– Millions of @Tesla_Optimus robots to help build it out

All of these need chips: 100-200GW of chips for Optimus alone, plus terawatts for solar-powered AI satellites.

That's more than all the chip manufacturers in the world combined can provide today, or even by 2030 (based on projected production growth).

We're building TERAFAB to close the gap between today’s chip production & the future's demand – a future among the stars

[RYAN SΞAN ADAMS @RyanSAdams]

THEY DID IT.

The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets.

They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name!

THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO

(he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence)

This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path.

It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator.

(of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it)

This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets:

1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14)

2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception).

3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities.

4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends.

5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities.

Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator.

No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges.

How about the Howey test?

More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after).

How about stuff like staking and mining?

Mining? Not a securities transaction.

Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs!

How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction.

Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops.

Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both.

SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets
CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets

Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets.

Every country will follow.

This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets.

Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins.

And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

[Stani @StaniKulechov]

Earlier today, a user attempted to buy AAVE using $50M USDT through the Aave interface.

Given the unusually large size of the single order, the Aave interface, like most trading interfaces, warned the user about extraordinary slippage and required confirmation via a checkbox. The user confirmed the warning on their mobile device and proceeded with the swap, accepting the high slippage, which ultimately resulted in receiving only 324 AAVE in return.

The transaction could not be moved forward without the user explicitly accepting the risk through the confirmation checkbox.

The CoW Swap routers functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices. However, while the user was able to proceed with the swap, the final outcome was clearly far from optimal.

Events like this do occur in DeFi, but the scale of this transaction was significantly larger than what is typically seen in the space.

We sympathize with the user and will try to make a contact with the user and we will return $600K in fees collected from the transaction.

The key takeaway is that while DeFi should remain open and permissionless, allowing users to perform transactions freely, there are additional guardrails the industry can build to better protect users. Our team will be investigating ways to improve these safeguards going forward.

[Ejaaz @cryptopunk7213]

lmao so just to recap the week:

- openai acquired peter steinberger and openclaw committing to keep the project 100% open source and make it a core part of openai’s ecosystem. zuck is fckin fuming.

- china’s bytedance got sued by disney and hollywood for their seedance video model being so damn good BUT turns out it doesn’t even use their IP, it’s just that good lol

- a clawdbot (openclaw) gave birth to a replicate of itself and autonomously paid for its api access

- some random dude discovered $1.5 trillion worth of lithium buried under a super volcano in nevada miraculously solving the USA’s battery crisis (tesla praising the lord rn)

- anthropic confirmed spotify engineers no longer code they just prompt claude to write 100% of the platforms code. we’re talking about a $100B+ company here

- openai launched codex spark, a faster version of codex 5.3 that slings 1000 tokens / sec insane

- anthropic and openai both lost key AI safety staff because “the world is in peril” and they reject AI ‘adult mode’

- xAI laid off 20-40% of staff in a vital bid to align grok, X and spaceX teams before building 100Tw of compute in space

- matt schumer’s “something big is coming” article hit 100M+ views warning against AI except… it was co-written by an AI

- runway raised $300M at a $5.3B val

- europe committed $13B+ to fund next-gen AI startups to compete with the US

- norway decided to fck their entire economy with a 36% tax on UNrealised gains

goodnight.

This is how little Sen. Warren understands this case: CZ did not plead to money laundering. He is the first and only first-time offender in U.S. history to serve prison time for a single, non-fraud BSA charge. Meanwhile, big banks paid billions for AML lapses with no senior execs jailed. A manifest injustice worthy of a pardon.
