Once fearing to offend Jensen Huang, OpenAI now backs three U.S. bills imposing chip restrictions on China.

Xiao Feng, Chairman and CEO of HashKey Group, delivered a speech at the 2026 Citi China Summit, noting that "financial digitalization" in the internet era mainly uses digital technology to boost financial efficiency. Entering the AI era, AI Tokens enable intelligent value to be measured, traded, and invested, while AI Agents and robots have begun to use currency autonomously, requiring the financial system to further upgrade from "financial digitalization" to "digital financialization". Citing data, Xiao Feng said that the AI payment protocol x402 on a compliant overseas public chain has recorded around 138 million total payments over the past 12 months, with 87% of the payment amounts ranging from $0.01 to $0.1. He argued that the high-frequency micro-payment demands brought by AI Agents and robots are difficult to be supported by traditional bank accounts and clearing systems, and the proportion of AI Agents and robots among financial institution clients may continue to rise in the future. Regarding infrastructure, Xiao Feng pointed out that the global financial system is accelerating the tokenization of deposits, stablecoins, and assets. When both the funding side and the asset side achieve tokenization, a complete on-chain financial closed loop is expected to form, enabling "transaction-as-settlement" and all-weather trading. In addition, HashKey Exchange is exploring potential cooperation with Citibank in areas such as custody, tokenized deposits, and fund clearing and settlement.

According to a WIRED report, some NVIDIA employees are urging the company’s board of directors to reconsider the possibility of Jensen Huang returning to the CEO position. A long-tenured engineer at the company previously posted on an internal feedback forum, asking the board to fully take employee input into account before making major decisions. The post has garnered over 1,600 comments, most of which support Huang’s reinstatement. One employee wrote, “If you believe in the company’s mission, let the real boss come back.” Another employee, via internal company email, demanded management disclose the investigation process into Huang’s departure, noting that supporting Huang does not mean excusing any individual’s mistakes, but rather that the company should treat the leader, who has made major contributions to NVIDIA’s development, fairly. The report points out that Huang’s sudden resignation shocked many employees. After the resignation announcement, around 20 NVIDIA employees posted on LinkedIn to express their support for him; no posts from NVIDIA employees in support of his resignation have been found to date. An unnamed employee said internal calls for Huang’s reinstatement are widespread, warning the company could face long-term repercussions after losing its founder’s leadership. Currently, NVIDIA’s board has appointed former CFO Colette Kress as interim CEO, and former Synopsys CEO Harvey Jones as board chair. Employees hope the board will further explain the reasons for Huang’s departure and release the relevant investigation results.
