The AI infrastructure platform B.AI has released a history of Credits consumption record optimization and compensation explanation. With the continuous upgrade of the Credits billing system and display dimensions, the platform has recently conducted a comprehensive review of historical consumption records. During this process, it was found that for certain requests made between May 1, 2026, 00:00 and May 3, 2026, 03:00 (SGT), the consumption details displayed on the front end did not fully present all cost components. This was mainly due to the underlying cache-related fees not being displayed on the page, causing users to typically only see input/output token consumption, leading to a misunderstanding of the overall Credits consumption.To address the above issues, the platform has now completed data corrections and realigned with historical records. Additionally, based on more cautious and user-friendly rules, Credits compensation will be automatically issued to affected accounts (valid for 30 days from the date of receipt) without any action required from users. Please pay attention to account balance updates. In the future, B.AI will continue to upgrade the Credits display system to further enhance long-term transparency and user experience.

Galaxy Research Research Director Alex Thorn published a post disclosing that Galaxy Research released a latest report rebutting the banking industry's assertion that the GENIUS Act will impact U.S. bank deposits, and provided quantitative estimates.The core findings of the report are as follows: Under the framework of the GENIUS Act, 60% to 70% of the incremental stablecoins will come from overseas, with the inflow of overseas deposits being about twice the amount of domestic deposit migration, indicating a net increase overall rather than a transfer of existing stock; each newly minted GENIUS stablecoin can generate approximately 32 cents of net credit for the U.S. economy; by 2030, under the baseline scenario, the total scale of credit expansion is about $400 billion, and in an optimistic scenario, it could reach $1.2 trillion.In addition, the short-end yield on U.S. Treasuries (T-bills) will be compressed by 3 to 5 basis points, potentially saving taxpayers up to $3 billion in borrowing costs each year. The report also points out that the interest pass-through mechanism does not pose a survival threat to the U.S. banking industry; it is merely a redistribution of profit margins and will not reduce overall credit capacity.
