11.24 AI Daily ChatGPT triggers a wave of bank innovation, Cryptocurrency regulatory policies follow
1. Headlines
1. ChatGPT sparks 'creativity explosion' within banks, but scalability remains uncertain
A user report from BBVA, the second largest bank in Spain, shows that ChatGPT significantly improves productivity within the bank, causing a "burst of creativity". 80% of users reported saving over two hours of work time per week. However, ChatGPT still faces challenges in expanding its application tools. Integrating it into the bank's complex internal systems and databases may be difficult.
Elena Alvaro, Head of AI Applications at BBVA, pointed out that there are doubts about the scalability and integration capability of ChatGPT. Although ChatGPT has brought productivity improvements to banks, its application in the entire system still faces technical challenges. Banks need to evaluate the long-term feasibility and scope of ChatGPT.
The application of artificial intelligence technology in the financial field is gradually deepening, but it also brings new challenges. Banks need to weigh the advantages and risks of artificial intelligence tools, formulate wise integration strategies, and ensure the effective integration of technology and business needs. In addition, data security and privacy protection are also top priorities. Only after a full evaluation, artificial intelligence can truly unleash its innovative potential in the financial industry.
2. Founder: DOJ Refuses to Bring Financial Charges Against SBF
Co-founder Cameron Winklevoss said on X that the US Department of Justice refused to bring electoral financial charges against SBF because these charges were not included in his extradition. In other words, this technically violates the treaty between the US and the Bahamian government, as the US only agreed to extradite SBF on non-electoral charges.
This decision has sparked doubts about the fairness of the US judicial system. Some people believe that as an important figure in the Crypto Assets industry, SBF should be subject to comprehensive scrutiny and prosecution. However, others believe that it is crucial to adhere to legal procedures, even for controversial figures.
This incident once again highlights the complexity of regulatory oversight over crypto assets. Due to the decentralized nature of crypto assets, their legal status varies from country to country. Countries need to strengthen cooperation, unify regulatory standards, and create a fair and transparent environment for the crypto asset industry. At the same time, it is also necessary to improve relevant laws and regulations, clarify the legal status of crypto assets, and the boundaries of regulation.
3. The first "X" meme coin of the Solana ecosystem, big pump100%, supported by Elon Musk, causing a frenzy
According to GMGN data, the Solana ecosystem meme project X (X Community) has surged 100% in the past 24 hours, with the current Market Cap breaking through 6 million US dollars, reaching a historical high. Previously, Musk posted a picture on the X social platform, expressing his liking for "X MEME", and X Community, as the first "X" on the Solana chain, has reached Consensus among meme players.
The heat of the dogecoin has once again sparked a follow. On the one hand, the price Fluctuation of dogecoin is violent, with high speculation and risk; on the other hand, they represent a new culture of encryption, attracting a large number of young people to participate. The future development of dogecoin is worth following.
From a broader perspective, the rise of the meme economy reflects the diversified development of the Crypto Assets ecosystem. In addition to traditional functions such as payment and investment, Crypto Assets have also given birth to new application scenarios such as gaming, art, and socializing. This innovation helps attract more users and promotes the popularization of Crypto Assets. However, it is also necessary to strengthen regulation, avoid speculative trading, and maintain market order.
4. Executive: Approval of Solana ETF to Become an Important Milestone
Austin Reid, Global Head of Revenue at Cryptocurrency's largest brokerage firm, X, stated that the launch of the Solana ETF will be a significant milestone for the SOL ecosystem, marking a major transformation in the entire Cryptocurrency industry. In addition to the new single asset fund, regulatory clarity will pave the way for actively managed products and new ETFs, both of which will unlock new institutional liquidity channels.
Clear regulations are crucial for the development of the Crypto Assets industry. In the past, the ambiguity of regulations has deterred many institutional investors. Once regulatory policies are clear, it will be conducive to attracting more institutional funds into the Crypto Assets market, improving market Liquidity and maturity.
At the same time, the launch of Crypto Assets ETFs will also provide ordinary investors with more investment channels. Traditional ways of investing in Crypto Assets have many obstacles, while ETFs are more convenient and helpful in popularizing Crypto Assets. Of course, when launching new products, regulatory agencies also need to carefully evaluate potential risks and protect the interests of investors.
Overall, the cryptocurrency industry is undergoing profound changes. Regulatory clarity is increasing, institutional investors are joining, and new investment products continue to emerge, all of which will inject new momentum into the long-term healthy development of the industry.
5. LinkedIn founder: Musk serving as Trump's AI advisor may pose conflicts of interest
LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman warned in an article in the Financial Times that Elon Musk serving as an advisor in Trump's second term may bring conflicts of interest in AI policy. Hoffman pointed out that Musk, as the founder of AI, may use his role to influence policies that favor AI in obtaining government contracts or limiting competition. He emphasized that this will harm American technological innovation and economic security.
The development of artificial intelligence technology is of great importance to national strategic heights. As an emerging technology, the regulatory policies of artificial intelligence will directly affect the development prospects of enterprises. If there are conflicts of interest, it will distort the environment of fair competition and hinder the healthy development of the industry. Therefore, when formulating artificial intelligence policies, it is necessary to adhere to the principles of fairness and transparency and avoid any interest transmission.
At the same time, artificial intelligence technology has brought many ethical and security risks, which require high attention and timely regulation by the government. For example, artificial intelligence has potential risks in privacy protection, algorithm fairness, technical security, etc. Only by establishing sound laws and regulations can we maximize the innovative potential of artificial intelligence and prevent its negative impact.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence is a "double-edged sword", and the government needs to strike a balance between promoting innovation and preventing risks, creating a favorable environment for the long-term development of the industry.

Six. Regulation & Policy
1. The U.S. SEC may introduce new encryption regulatory policies, which could become an important catalyst for Bitcoin.
Policy Background: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States has been working on regulating the cryptocurrency market for a long time. With the continuous development and growing influence of cryptocurrency, it has become urgent to establish clear regulatory policies. SEC Chairman Gary Gensler has taken a tough regulatory stance during his tenure, but with his term coming to an end, the new leadership is expected to bring policy changes.
Policy Content: According to Eric Jackson, the founder and portfolio manager of EMJ Capital, the SEC may introduce new cryptocurrency regulatory policies. The specific details of this policy have not been disclosed, but it is expected to provide a clearer regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry. At the same time, the global adoption of cryptocurrencies and the possibility of the United States including BTC in its strategic reserves will also inject new momentum into the development of BTC.

As the flagship asset of the cryptocurrency, BTC is expected to break through the important psychological barrier of $100,000 under the promotion of new policies, attracting more investors to follow. However, analysts also remind that regulatory changes may bring short-term fluctuations, and investors need to remain cautious.
