ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, regarding Trump's issuance of the meme coin TRUMP, Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project on Government Oversight, stated that meme coins are generally unrelated to any underlying business, making them highly speculative for investors, while potentially yielding substantial profits for founders, further crossing boundaries.Brian said, "Any efforts by the Trump Organization to indicate their concern about potential conflicts (especially those involving foreign governments) seem to completely undermine their efforts."Other groups expressing concerns include the non-profit Campaign Legal Center and the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the latter of which sued Trump during his first term for violating constitutional prohibitions on foreign gifts and payments, but was unsuccessful.

According to ChainCatcher news, the OpenAI board is evaluating the company's structure with the goal of establishing a more robust nonprofit organization supported by a for-profit company. OpenAI states that this plan will create one of the most well-resourced nonprofit organizations in history.OpenAI believes that the company structure must evolve to advance its mission of ensuring that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. Specifically, OpenAI's three main objectives include:Choosing a nonprofit/for-profit structure that is most conducive to the long-term success of the mission; ensuring the sustainability of the nonprofit organization;Enabling each department to fulfill its due role.OpenAI plans to transform the existing for-profit company into a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), with an independent financial advisor determining a reasonable valuation and transferring most shares to the nonprofit organization. This will significantly increase the resources of the nonprofit organization. The PBC structure requires the company to balance the interests of shareholders, stakeholders, and the public in its decision-making. This will allow OpenAI to raise the necessary capital under conventional terms while the nonprofit organization can operate independently, focusing on charitable causes such as healthcare, education, and science.
