According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Department of Justice is conducting an antitrust investigation into Silicon Valley's top venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), focusing on its partners serving on the boards of multiple AI companies that are in competition with each other—co-founder Ben Horowitz serves on the board of Databricks, and partner Martin Casado serves on the board of Fivetran, with both companies competing in the data processing field.Casado previously also served on the board of dbt labs (acquired by Fivetran in June). This investigation has been ongoing for nearly a year, starting with the antitrust review of Fivetran's acquisition of dbt labs. Although the acquisition has been unconditionally approved, the investigation into the board positions continues. Such investigations typically end with board members resigning. a16z has close ties to the Trump administration, with both founders donating millions to the Trump campaign in 2024 and successfully pushing for the weakening of safety barriers in AI policy. a16z manages assets totaling $90 billion and recently raised a $15 billion fund, with a portfolio that includes SpaceX, OpenAI, and Cursor, among others.

Centrifuge released governance proposal CP172 on August 18, exploring the feasibility of converting CFG tokens into company equity. The proposal states that Centrifuge's current business has shifted towards institutional infrastructure, and the original token structure restricts partner expansion and capital raising. It proposes to offer eligible CFG holders the option to convert their tokens into equity.The core details of the proposal include: 1 CFG can be exchanged for 1 share of Centrifuge Inc. equity, which will be recorded in a tokenized form; qualified holders with more than 100,000 CFG can directly enter the shareholder register, while holders below this threshold are proposed to participate through CoinList's trust structure, with no additional fees or minimum requirements; holders who do not participate in the conversion can continue to hold or sell their tokens, and the team, community, and partners will receive the same class of shares. The proposal is currently in the Request for Comments (RFC) stage for 14 days and will proceed only after board approval and governance voting.It is reported that Centrifuge is an open decentralized infrastructure for on-chain asset management and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The platform enables asset management companies to tokenize institutional-grade assets (such as credit, real estate, and government bonds) into freely transferable tokens for use in the DeFi ecosystem. Its core components include a compliant asset origination framework, Anemoy (a full-service fund architecture asset management division), and index proof (PoI) infrastructure for tokenizing structured financial products (such as S&P 500 index funds).

According to Crypto.News, the investigation that was previously suspended due to large gifts related to cryptocurrency has resumed after Nigel Farage, leader of the Reform Party in the UK, was re-elected as the MP for the Clacton constituency. The parliamentary commissioner is investigating whether he failed to register financial interests as required, focusing on a personal grant of approximately £5 million (about $6.7 million) from billionaire investor and Tether-related shareholder Christopher Harborne; as well as benefits such as staff, security, transportation, and accommodation provided by long-time advisor George Cottrell, who was previously sentenced for a money laundering-related case in the U.S.Nigel Farage's resignation during his term led to the suspension of the investigation, and he insists that he did not violate any rules, claiming that the money was an unconditional personal gift, part of which was used for security expenses. His by-election victory has allowed him to become an MP again, and the investigation has therefore continued.

The UK's Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards has resumed the investigation into Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's acceptance of donations from the cryptocurrency industry, involving an amount of 6.7 million dollars.

According to DIGITIMES, NVIDIA's next-generation AI platform Feynman aims for mass production in the second half of 2028, utilizing TSMC's A16 process and incorporating SoIC 3D stacking and CPO technology. The Rubin generation focuses on integrating multiple small chips with HBM, while Feynman further develops towards 3D small chips, SoIC, and CPO. The report indicates that TSMC is accelerating the construction of related production capacity, with the original plan for SoIC monthly capacity to reach 20,000 pieces by the end of 2026, now updated to a target of 50,000 pieces by the end of 2027.The construction progress of TSMC's Chiayi AP7 and Tainan AP8 is also accelerating, with AP7 planned in 8 phases. P1 and P2 have entered installation, P3 and P4 have obtained construction permits, and P5 to P8 are still in planning. In addition to mass-producing Apple-specific WMCM, the factory will configure SoIC, CoPoS, and CPO production lines according to customer demand. NVIDIA has rapidly shifted its R&D and supply chain resources to the Feynman platform, and the spillover effect of TSMC's advanced packaging orders continues to expand, with Siliconware becoming the main testing and packaging factory for NVIDIA's CoWoS and CPO orders. The NVLink interconnect bandwidth of NVIDIA's Feynman platform is expected to exceed 1 PB/s, further improving from Rubin Ultra's 520 TB/s. TSMC's COUPE technology integrates EIC and PIC in 3D through SoIC to form a light engine, advancing optoelectronic conversion from traditional circuit boards to the internal packaging structure. Since 2026, NVIDIA has invested over $40 billion in building the AI ecosystem, covering areas such as models, wafer manufacturing, data centers, and optical communications.
