Axis Robotics issued a statement regarding the massive sell-off of AXIS tokens from October 28 to 29, stating that no team or investor tokens were sold. The team, investors, and other locked allocations total 835 million AXIS, accounting for 83.5% of the total supply, and remain in a custody contract co-managed with Binance, with no tokens transferred out, and they will not be unlocked before the end of the 12-month lock-up period.The project party stated that the tokens sold this time came from a portion of the ecological allocation in the initial circulating supply, which was originally delivered through a single over-the-counter (OTC) trading counterparty, and the relevant written agreement includes lock-up terms. The project party believes that the trading model indicates that this counterparty may sell the tokens on the open market, which, if true, would violate the agreement. They have currently suspended further transactions with this counterparty and are reviewing the agreement with legal counsel to seek remedies; the remaining ecological tokens will only be distributed through on-chain custody mechanisms in the future.ChainCatcher previously reported that, according to on-chain detective ZachXBT, insiders from Axis Robotics (AXIS) obtained over 76 million AXIS tokens (worth over 12 million USD) from a multi-signature wallet, which were then sold off through a DEX, with some tokens transferred to Bitget exchange. As a result, the AXIS price plummeted by 40% in the past 24 hours.One insider sold 42 million AXIS tokens and currently holds over 5.04 million USDC across their 8 wallet addresses.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, on October 29, the Central Bank of Russia approved the National Association of Participants in the Securities Market (NAUFOR) to become the country's first self-regulatory organization for cryptocurrency exchanges and digital custodians. This move implements the "Digital Currency and Digital Rights Law," which was passed by the State Duma in July, into an operational system. The law requires exchange operators and digital custodians to enter the central bank's registry and must join a self-regulatory organization.The central bank's registry currently includes 23 cryptocurrency exchanges and 8 digital custodians, including VTB, Sberbank, and T-Bank's parent company T-Technologies. Companies listed in the registry must complete their membership within 90 days. The self-regulatory organization is responsible for setting industry standards, supervising members, and communicating with regulators on behalf of the industry.NAUFOR stated that it will participate in the formulation of standards for the digital asset market and promote adjustments to the rules by the central bank. The association earlier this month obtained similar qualifications in the field of information system operators and currently has 725 members.The law prohibits the use of Bitcoin for everyday payments, and domestic cryptocurrency payments remain banned. It also issues licenses to exchanges and custodians, limits retail investors' purchase amounts, and establishes state-regulated cross-border trading channels. Non-qualified retail investors can purchase up to 300,000 rubles, approximately $3,800, per year through a single intermediary. Additionally, the Moscow Exchange has tested cryptocurrency trading with professional market participants and plans to launch in December; Sberbank has also been approved to custody Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency assets.

The Bank of England has launched a consultation on how central counterparties (CCPs) can accept digital forms of eligible collateral, stating that current rules allow for such arrangements provided that the relevant assets meet clearing standards.

The Bank of England emphasized that this statement will not create new regulatory obligations.The Bank of England pointed out that tokenized collateral must always be capable of being valued, transferred, and liquidated, including under stress scenarios; the improvement in cross-border transfer speed helps institutions meet margin calls in a timely manner. Sarah Breeden, the Deputy Governor responsible for financial stability, stated that this consultation reflects the bank's goal of promoting innovation in financial market infrastructure while maintaining financial stability, and is part of a broader agenda by regulators and the industry to promote the responsible application of tokenization in financial markets.The consultation document will close for feedback on February 12, 2027, and the Bank of England plans to subsequently publish a policy response and related rules.

This product focuses on file storage, data management, and AI applications, with a core positioning as a unified memory base for multiple Agents, aiming to connect various AI applications and office tools, unify and carry context, allowing multiple Agents to collaborate based on the same information.Practical tests show that the internal test version retains basic entry points such as the homepage, files, recycle bin, and storage space, with a floating AI assistant panel on the right side.

It has integrated over 90 internal and external projects of Tencent and has been applied in multiple games such as "Peacekeeper Elite," "PUBG MOBILE," "Delta Force," "Honor of Kings," "Rock Kingdom," "League of Legends," and "Teamfight Tactics."Motus AI has built a large model matrix that spans the entire production chain of character animation, covering aspects such as skeleton generation, skinning generation, text/video-based motion generation, keyframe interpolation, motion refinement, and real-time intelligent driving. It supports seamless integration into existing production workflows in the form of plugins.
