In a talk at the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin introduced Ethereum’s development plan for the next four to five years, including near-term scaling, account abstraction, and preparation for post-quantum cryptography, and proposed a three-stage roadmap for ZK-EVM, aimed at improving Ethereum’s security, general-purpose capabilities, and decentralized verification power.

Rather than relying on usernames, passwords, or even devices, World ID focuses on verifying the individual behind the screen without exposing personal data. At the core of the upgraded World ID is a redesigned architecture that prioritizes privacy and self-custody. In an internet increasingly

Quantitative trading giant Jane Street Group announced an investment of $1 billion in AI cloud service provider CoreWeave. Its planned total spending is set to reach $6 billion, and it will obtain rights to use NVIDIA Vera Rubin chips. This move is intended to accelerate the development of its AI software. CoreWeave is working to reduce reliance on a single customer and to pivot into an integrated AI infrastructure platform. This investment shows Jane Street strengthening its positioning in the AI space and improving its trading edge with efficient computing power.

Bitdeer Technologies Group (NASDAQ: BTDR) released its 2026 March unaudited production and operations update via Globe Newswire on April 15. The data show that it mined 661 bitcoins in March, up about 480% year-over-year versus the same period in 2025. Its self-mining computing power increased year over year by about 504% to approximately 70 EH/s.

OpenAI policy, research, and science teams released a report on April 15 arguing for expanding AI applications in the life sciences, and shared it exclusively with Axios in advance before the official public release. The report lays out three core policy demands: granting access permissions to open medical and scientific data, designating advanced AI as a “national-level research resource,” and increasing investment in physical infrastructure such as compute power, laboratories, and energy.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during a podcast interview with Dwarkesh Patel on April 15 (Wednesday) that the type of training compute required for Anthropic AI model Claude Mythos is “very well available in China,” and that China’s existing data center infrastructure can support training models at a similar scale.

Allbirds announced its transition into an AI compute power supplier, “NewBird AI,” with its stock price jumping 582% overnight. However, experts are skeptical that this is merely a reshuffled shell company, similar to what happened with past digital asset vaults. After the company sold off its footwear business, it has continued to incur losses and faces market risk. The market’s reaction to the “new narrative” is still playing out again.

With AI demand growing, the importance of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) is increasing, and Asia’s semiconductor industry is undergoing structural adjustments. Samsung and SK hynix are accelerating the development of HBM4 and outsourcing the photomask process, which could benefit Japanese photomask makers such as DNP. Despite SK hynix lowering its HBM4 shipment outlook, DDR5’s gross margin is higher than that of HBM4, allowing traditional DRAM to regain pricing power. Samsung is under pressure, and HBM4 may be delayed in its rollout, affecting the overall timeline.
