**February 22** — Donald Trump tweeted Thursday that the Supreme Court’s tariff ruling from the prior day was “absurd and inept.” As U.S. President, he declared he will immediately hike the 10% global tariff on many countries to a “legally sound, lawfully verified” 15%. He accused those nations of having “exploited” the U.S. for decades without repercussions — “until I took office.” In the coming months, the Trump administration will identify and announce new legitimate tariffs, continuing its push to “make America great again — greater than ever before.” Separately, on Wednesday (February 21), Trump signed a new tariff document imposing a 10% import tariff on goods from all countries. The measure will take effect at 12:01 a.m. EST on February 24, with additional implementation details to be released within 150 days.

On February 21, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin noted that AI governance poses dystopian risks: weak AI could spark chaos, while strong AI might have catastrophic outcomes. But if used responsibly, AI can empower humanity and advance decentralized governance models. The core challenge of decentralized governance (including Ethereum-based DAOs) stems from human attention limits: users face thousands of decisions across countless fields, and most lack the time or expertise to master even one area, let alone all. Delegation is a common workaround, but it dilutes decision-making power. This attention gap can be addressed via Personal Liquid Democracy, with two key mechanisms: 1. **Personal Governance Proxy**: When a governance system demands frequent user decisions, a personal proxy can vote on the user’s behalf—drawing on inferred preferences from their writing, chat logs, direct statements, etc. 2. **Public Deliberation Proxy**: Sound decisions rarely rely on linear proce

February 21 A Caixin article titled "Strict Regulation of Overseas Real World Assets (RWA)" revealed that Ant Group’s AntChain is the source of China’s earliest known RWA case. AntChain has helped firms including Xinjin Energy and Langxin Technology secure RWA financing ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of yuan. The platform uses the income rights of these companies’ assets as underlying collateral, splits them into standardized digital tokens via blockchain, and facilitates token issuance for fundraising. All these RWA projects follow the model: "domestic assets, Hong Kong certification, global circulation." Per Hong Kong regulatory rules, the projects are not open to retail investors—only institutional or professional investors—and have no secondary market trading. On suitable Chinese domestic assets for overseas RWA: - Policy experts note that in principle, any asset meeting regulatory requirements is eligible, but it must not fall under China’s dom

On February 21, Zhipu—owner of the GLM Coding Plan AI programming subscription service—released an apology and unveiled a resolution and compensation plan. Zhipu cited three key issues behind the revisions: 1. Lack of rule transparency; 2. Delayed phased rollout (grayscale release) of GLM-5; 3. Clunky design for the legacy user upgrade process. After GLM-5’s launch, traffic outpaced projections, and scaling efforts failed to keep pace. The company had planned to roll out GLM-5 gradually in the order of Max, Pro, and Lite users, but this timeline was not met. Current access status: - Max users have full access; - Pro users have access but may face rate limiting during peak hours due to high cluster load; - Lite users will gain access gradually during the post-holiday phased rollout (grayscale phase). Zhipu is offering refunds to affected Lite and Pro users.
