According to Gate Europe CEO Dr. Giovanni Cunti's latest LinkedIn post, the next phase of digital asset adoption may no longer focus on guiding users to crypto platforms, but rather on integrating digital asset capabilities into the financial services that users are already using. Through embedded finance, scenarios such as payments, commerce, and fund transfers can directly connect to digital asset infrastructure, allowing users to access digital asset-related services without changing their existing financial service usage.Dr. Giovanni Cunti also pointed out that this trend is reshaping the competitive logic of the digital asset industry. Liquidity and product capabilities will still be important foundations, but whether payment channels, asset custody, risk management, and compliance systems can achieve synergy in different markets and regulatory environments will become increasingly critical. Europe has significant advantages in this development process, as MiCA is gradually establishing a more unified regulatory framework for digital assets, and the continuous evolution of payment infrastructure is creating new opportunities for compliant digital asset companies to collaborate deeply with the traditional financial system.For Gate Europe, the integration of digital assets and payment systems is becoming an important direction for business development. Relying on the compliance foundation established by the dual licensing system of MiCA and payment institutions (PI), Gate Europe will further promote the connection between digital assets and payment services, as well as a broader financial ecosystem. As digital assets gradually integrate into daily financial activities, they are expected to evolve from independent financial products into a core component of a new generation of financial infrastructure that is more open, interconnected, and programmable.

According to Business Insider, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed in the David Senra podcast that he is concerned that AI may one day be controlled by a few companies, models, or individuals, causing the vast majority of consumers to lose their voice in how technology shapes the world. He stated that the correct approach is to ensure that people firmly control the future, and society and models will evolve together.Altman is also worried about AI escaping human control. He pointed out that an excessive fear of the latter risk could lead to the former situation becoming a reality, as some advocate sacrificing a significant amount of freedom for security out of anxiety. The article suggests this may indirectly refer to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who has repeatedly warned about AI risks and called for increased government regulation. Anthropic is the only mainstream AI company that has not signed the open letter supporting open-weight models.Although OpenAI has not yet open-sourced its cutting-edge models, it released two open-weight models last year: gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b. Altman also stated that U.S. AI leaders have failed to adequately demonstrate to the public how the technology enhances life autonomy, and he anticipates the largest wave of entrepreneurship, as AI is empowering more people to start small businesses.
