Regarding Binance co-founder CZ's view that "CEX and DEX should not have a listing process", some community users questioned CZ, "Always emphasizing that the most important thing is to protect users, but emphasizing that CEX should list coins without permission like DEX. CEX has greatly relaxed the listing of coins, and a bunch of relatively bad projects have emerged, and even arbitrary manipulation has occurred. How to protect users?" In response, CZ said: "Users' freedom of choice should not be blocked, but those who attempt to harm users should be strongly stopped."

The Ethereum Layer 2 network Arbitrum Foundation announced its withdrawal from the Nvidia-backed Ignition AI accelerator program because the chip giant requested that the cooperation not be mentioned in crypto-related announcements. Previously, the two parties had planned to reach an exclusive cooperation, and Arbitrum would become the only Ethereum ecosystem representative in the AI acceleration program. A spokesperson for the Arbitrum Foundation said that Nvidia recently changed its position and was willing to maintain cooperation but prohibited public disclosure, which showed its lack of long-term commitment to the crypto field. The accelerator program would have provided Arbitrum with AI development guidance and cloud service points. It is worth noting that another public chain, Aptos, still maintains a cooperative relationship with the accelerator. The foundation emphasized that the decision to withdraw was based on commercial considerations, and in the future it will choose "partners who fully support blockchain innovation."
