According to the latest disclosure by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Musk has obtained antitrust approval for the acquisition of the optical network startup Mesh Optical Technologies, which means the FTC has completed a rapid antitrust review and will not challenge the transaction on competitive grounds, clearing a major regulatory hurdle for the advancement of the deal. However, it has not yet been disclosed whether the transaction has been signed or completed.Mesh was founded by former SpaceX engineers, and its core product is optical transceivers for AI data centers, which can improve energy efficiency, reduce latency, and enhance reliability compared to traditional network hardware, in order to meet the demand for millions of optical connections brought about by the growth of AI computing clusters. The founding team was involved in the development of the laser communication system for SpaceX's Starlink satellite network and plans to deploy optical communication technology into space in the future, adapting to the inter-satellite laser communication needs of orbital data centers and AI satellite networks. The company completed over $50 million in financing led by Thrive Capital in February of this year.Acquiring Mesh is one of SpaceX's initiatives to strengthen the competitiveness of large-scale computing clusters. Currently, SpaceX has listed AI computing power as a core business segment, and its xAI has been operating a total of approximately 1GW computing power with the Colossus and Colossus II training clusters, making it the first company to deploy coherent gigawatt-level AI training clusters; among them, Colossus II will add over 400MW of computing power and introduce over 220,000 GB300 chips. It has signed computing power cooperation agreements with Anthropic, Google, Reflection AI, and others, directly competing with large-scale cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. This year, SpaceX has also reached a Terafab chip manufacturing plan with Tesla and Intel, extending its vertical integration capabilities in chip design and manufacturing.In the past week, SpaceX's stock price ended its upward trend, closing at $153.23 per share, down over 32% from its peak of $225.64 per share.

According to official news, OpenAI has officially launched the preview version of the next-generation GPT-5.6 series models, including the flagship model Sol, the balanced model Terra, and the fast low-cost model Luna. GPT-5.6 introduces a brand new maximum reasoning effort and features a super strong mode that accelerates complex tasks through sub-agents.The flagship model Sol introduces the Ultra mode, which combines maximum reasoning intensity with sub-agent collaboration. In the Terminal-Bench 2.1 command line workflow test, Sol achieved a score of 88.8%, which increased to 91.9% in Ultra mode, surpassing GPT-5.5's 83.4% and Claude Fable 5's 88.0%. The mid-range model Terra performs close to GPT-5.5 while being priced at half, and the lightest model Luna is designed specifically for everyday automation tasks. Sol is priced at $5 per million input tokens and $30 for output, and it supports reducing secondary call costs by utilizing prompt caching.In terms of security, the security assessment confirmed that Sol did not exceed the critical thresholds of the Preparedness Framework cybersecurity. OpenAI has invested over 700,000 A100 equivalent GPU hours in automated red team exercises, equipping the entire series of models with a defense stack that includes rejection mechanisms, real-time abuse classifiers, and account-level audits. Although the current limited release follows the U.S. government's security framework, OpenAI emphasizes that it does not want a government-led access mechanism to become the long-term default model, as it would limit defenders' access to cutting-edge tools.

Japan's financial group SBI Holdings announced the official issuance of the yen stablecoin JPYSC, with the first issuance completed. This stablecoin is managed by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank for reserve asset management, while the licensed cryptocurrency trading platform SBI VC Trade is responsible for circulation and distribution. SBI stated that JPYSC is Japan's first yen stablecoin managed by a trust bank and is also the first to be recognized as a "similar product to electronic payment means" under the Payment Services Act. Unlike the previously launched fund transfer-type stablecoins in Japan, JPYSC is not subject to a single transaction and account balance limit of 1 million yen.SBI expects that JPYSC will attract retail and institutional users with lower transaction costs and the ability to support large transactions, and it can serve as the yen-based asset for on-chain foreign exchange markets, institutional lending, and RWA (real-world asset) tokenized settlements. Currently, JPYSC is only available to SBI VC Trade account holders, with plans to expand its usage after regulatory and tax frameworks are further clarified. SBI also plans to launch JPYSC lending services.In recent years, Japan has been continuously promoting compliant stablecoins to integrate into the mainstream financial system. Following the approval of JPYC in 2025 as Japan's first legally recognized yen stablecoin, Japan's three major banks—Mitsubishi UFJ Bank (MUFG), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), and Mizuho Bank—are also jointly advancing stablecoin projects, with plans to launch commercial trading in the fiscal year 2026.

According to the Nikkei, the SBI Group has obtained approval from the Financial Services Agency of Japan and plans to issue a yen-pegged stablecoin, JPYSC, within this week, becoming the first trust-type stablecoin in Japan.The stablecoin is issued by SBI Shinsei Trust Bank, with SBIVC Trade responsible for trading, and it is jointly developed with Singapore fintech company Startale Group. The SBI Group plans to deeply integrate JPYSC with its financial services, including securities, crypto assets, and banking, to enhance user convenience.

According to a report by Business Insider, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently discussed the competitive relationship with OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman in an exclusive interview. Amodei stated that he feels "calm" about the current competitive landscape between the two companies and candidly pointed out that their visions differ and there is a lack of trust. He said, "When you don't have a common vision and don't trust each other, arguing is meaningless," and emphasized that both sides should pursue their own paths, ultimately leaving the market and public opinion to judge the outcome.In addition, Amodei proposed that the AI industry needs "trustworthy participants" to jointly establish standards, thereby forcing other untrustworthy peers to comply with regulations. He specifically mentioned that he has known Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis for 15 years, and the two have maintained close cooperation and trust in computing power procurement and safety concepts, thereby refuting the widespread rumor of "mutual distrust" in the AI field.

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the venture capital firm a16z, published an article outlining his stance on AI regulation by the U.S. government. He stated that if so-called regulation means creating complex rules by people who do not understand the technology, suppressing innovation through layers of approval and compliance requirements, and ultimately becoming a tool for large enterprises to consolidate market positions and hinder newcomers, then he will firmly oppose such regulation.In his view, excessive regulation often leads to startups being crushed by cumbersome procedures and high compliance costs, causing innovative talent to flow to more open markets, while regulatory agencies themselves continue to expand, ultimately deviating from their original goals.Andreessen specifically criticized the regulatory mindset centered on the "precautionary principle," arguing that if this concept is amplified indefinitely, it could lead society to reject new technologies out of fear of potential risks. Many regulatory measures often arrive late, after fundamental changes in technology and industry have already occurred, making it difficult to address real issues and potentially becoming obstacles to innovative development. He also attributed the relatively lagging state of technological innovation in Europe in recent years to a culture of excessive regulation, believing that regulation should not become a moat to protect vested interests and raise market entry barriers.However, Andreessen emphasized that he does not oppose all forms of regulation. On the contrary, he supports rules that can build market trust, ensure public safety, and maintain fair competition. For example, preventing AI from faking voices to commit financial fraud, preventing deepfake content from interfering with elections, preventing technology from being used to harm vulnerable groups, and ensuring that consumers and businesses can safely use new technologies.In his view, reasonable regulation is like guardrails on a highway and a braking system in a car; it does not hinder technological progress but rather allows innovation to develop in a faster and more sustainable manner. Andreessen stated that what is truly worth pursuing is not "zero regulation" or "heavy regulation," but finding a balance between innovative vitality and social trust, which is also his unwavering stance.Previously, the U.S. government forcibly "recalled" commercial models due to jailbreak risks, leading Anthropic to take Fable 5 offline overnight and publicly protest.

According to The Block, a research paper released by IC3, composed of researchers from top universities such as Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, Princeton, Yale, and ETH Zurich, points out that the role of cryptocurrency in addressing the main challenges in the AI field is severely overestimated.The paper clarifies three major misconceptions: providing AI agents with wallets does not make them truly "autonomous," but only enables automated trading; blockchain is suitable for timestamping records but cannot effectively distinguish between AI-generated content and human content; decentralization cannot fundamentally solve the problem of bias in AI algorithms.IC3 believes that while cryptocurrency can provide some infrastructure support for AI, its practicality in areas such as trust, payment, and content verification is limited.

According to official news, Laser Digital has obtained preliminary conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to establish Laser Digital National Trust Bank. This entity will serve as a federally regulated trust institution, providing services to institutional clients.Once officially licensed, its business scope will include foreign exchange and stablecoin intermediation, cross-margin collateral management for digital and traditional assets, as well as multi-asset trust custody for tokenized and traditional assets.

The Digital Chamber, a cryptocurrency industry organization, responded to Senator Elizabeth Warren's concerns regarding the recent approval of national trust charters by the OCC, stating that her claims about cryptocurrency companies being "improperly approved" are unfounded.Previously, Warren wrote to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), stating that the recent approvals granted to digital asset companies such as Ripple, Circle, Paxos, Fidelity, BitGo, and Coinbase may violate the National Bank Act and have not adhered to the same regulatory standards as traditional banks.The Digital Chamber stated that the OCC has the authority to grant national trust charters to qualified institutions, and that these arrangements do not equate to a relaxation of regulation. The organization represents over 250 cryptocurrency-related entities and believes that these charters help to integrate digital asset services into a clearer federal regulatory framework.

According to a report by Reuters citing the German newspaper Handelsblatt, the European Union is planning to impose fines in the hundreds of millions of euros on Google's parent company Alphabet in response to its alleged violations of the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Sources indicate that a related decision is nearing completion and is expected to be announced before the summer recess, potentially becoming the largest fine issued by the EU under the DMA.The investigation officially began in March 2025, focusing on whether Google prioritizes its own services in search results, thereby harming fair competition in the market. The European Commission stated that its primary goal is to ensure corporate compliance rather than simply imposing penalties, but if the corrective measures do not meet regulatory requirements, enforcement procedures will continue. Google responded that the adjustments made to its search products in accordance with DMA requirements have significantly impacted user experience and expressed a desire to reach a resolution with regulators.

On May 18, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) stating that the agency has improperly granted national trust charters to at least nine cryptocurrency companies since December 2025. Elizabeth Warren pointed out that the businesses these companies plan to engage in exceed the limited functions allowed by law for national trust banks, essentially attempting to circumvent the fundamental protections and obligations of banking through crypto banking. It is reported that the companies that have received or conditionally approved include Ripple, Circle, Paxos, Fidelity, BitGo, Coinbase, Stripe's subsidiary Bridge, and Crypto.com. The American Bankers Association urged the OCC in February to slow down the approval of related licenses, and Elizabeth Warren warned that this move would weaken consumer protections and pose regulatory arbitrage risks.
