Embodied Intelligence 'Gaokao' is Insanely Hard, Humans Score 100, Best Model Only 12.8

Embodied AI Faces a Daunting "Everest": New Benchmark Reveals Huge Gap Between Models and Humans A comprehensive new benchmark for robotic manipulation, RoboDojo, has been released, painting a stark picture of the current state of embodied AI. It serves as a unified evaluation platform covering both simulation and real-world robot tasks. The benchmark assesses five core capabilities: Generalization (adapting to new scenes/objects), Memory, Precision manipulation, Long-Horizon multi-step tasks, and Open semantic understanding. It includes 42 simulation tasks and 18 standardized real-world tasks across three dual-arm robot platforms. The results are sobering. In simulation, the best-performing generalist robot policy achieved an average success rate of only 8.80%. Performance in the real world was slightly higher but still low, with the top model succeeding 12.8% of the time on average. In stark contrast, human experts scored 76.03% in simulation and 100% in real-world tests. The benchmark highlights significant, uneven gaps in current models' abilities. While some excel in specific areas like visual recognition or simple actions, they struggle with reliability, especially in long-horizon tasks where errors accumulate and in open-ended semantic instructions. The low scores, particularly in real-world deployment with physical uncertainties like camera noise and contact dynamics, underscore that today's models are far from being robust, general-purpose operational robots. RoboDojo is more than just a ranking; it's an infrastructure designed for fair, reproducible comparison. Its companion system, XPolicyLab, standardizes the interface for different models to be evaluated. Maintained by an academic consortium without commercial ties, it aims to provide a community-wide "altitude meter" to track genuine progress toward reliable and generalizable robot manipulation.

Russia Advances Crypto Bill After Removing Wallet Address Disclosure Requirement

Russia's State Duma Financial Markets Committee has adopted a revised cryptocurrency regulation bill. A key change removes the controversial requirement for users to disclose their wallet addresses. Instead, the new bill mandates reporting of wallet balances and transaction volumes. The legislation aims to expand investment opportunities, allowing retail investors to allocate up to 300,000 rubles annually into approved cryptocurrencies through intermediaries. It also permits licensed brokers to access select foreign exchanges. However, the bill imposes restrictions, including limits on certain international crypto transfers and a continued ban on domestic crypto payments except for foreign trade. Furthermore, cryptocurrencies will be legally recognized as property in cases like insolvency. The Bank of Russia retains its role in licensing market participants and is advancing its digital ruble project.

HKEX Welcomes Its Largest IPO of the Day

Today (July 8th), Momenta successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the "first Physical AI stock." The company, founded in 2016 by Tsinghua University alumnus Cao Xudong, focuses on autonomous driving as an entry point into Physical AI research. Momenta's IPO price was HK$295.6 per share. With a market cap exceeding HK$70 billion post-listing, it was the largest among the five companies debuting that day. The offering raised approximately HK$6.8 billion and attracted a "star-studded" lineup of 14 cornerstone investors, including top-tier international funds, leading strategic industrial investors like Mercedes-Benz and BYD, and major Chinese financial institutions. The company has pioneered a "flywheel" strategy, integrating mass-produced advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) with its full-self-driving (L4) development. Data from over 1 million vehicles equipped with its systems fuels its AI models, enabling continuous improvement. This massive real-world data scale is a core competitive advantage. In April, Momenta launched its self-developed R7 World Model for mass production, a foundational model designed to understand and predict physical world dynamics. The company positions itself not just as an automotive tech supplier, but as a platform-level Physical AI company. Its technology platform has the potential to expand beyond autonomous vehicles into areas like logistics and embodied AI. Financially, Momenta's revenue grew from RMB 743 million in 2023 to RMB 2.413 billion in 2025, with licensing income surging 42-fold during this period. While still reporting adjusted losses, it is nearing breakeven. The company boasts partnerships with 24 global automakers, including 9 of the world's top 10, and holds a 65% market share in China's third-party urban NOA segment. The listing marks a significant moment for Physical AI in global capital markets, reflecting strong investor confidence in Momenta's unique technology path and commercial execution.

Will Noah Doe’s Satoshi BTC claim ‘disrupt entire industries’? Defendants say…

Noah Doe, along with two other pseudonymous plaintiffs, is suing in New York to claim legal ownership of 39,069 allegedly abandoned and dormant Bitcoin wallets, containing approximately 3.8 million BTC. Their argument hinges on posting abandonment notices via the Bitcoin blockchain and deeming wallets inactive after a 90-day non-response period as abandoned property. Defendants, including the listed wallet addresses, are seeking to dismiss the case. They argue that inactivity alone does not prove abandonment, as long-term holding is common, and that Noah Doe cannot be a legitimate "finder" without possessing the private keys. They warn a ruling for the plaintiffs would disrupt digital asset industries and undermine property rights. The argument was complicated when one of the named "dormant" wallets, linked to Satoshi and holding 35.55 BTC since 2011, recently moved 15 BTC, demonstrating active control.

Here’s why Sonic’s price rebound may be more fragile than it looks

Sonic's recent price rebound appears fragile despite a short-term surge driven by a near-doubling of on-chain transactions and increased spot volume. However, the rally lacks a solid foundation: over a 30-day period, network transactions and spot volume remain down 65% and 31.6%, respectively. Crucially, daily active users have plummeted from a peak of 62,200 in early June to around 6,400, indicating a severe loss of user engagement and sustained demand. While perpetual traders show mild bullish sentiment, the network's high churn rate and thin activity suggest the recovery is limited. The rebound coincides with major governance changes, including leadership resignations and a halt to the token's annual mint, adding further uncertainty to Sonic's long-term outlook.

Trump's Financial Disclosure Teaches You the Most Underrated Tax Optimization Strategy

Forbes article analyzes tax optimization strategies based on Trump's recent financial disclosures, highlighting his crypto holdings. Key insights reveal that holding appreciated assets like his $50M+ Bitcoin and multi-million dollar Ethereum allows indefinite deferral of capital gains taxes under U.S. law. Taxable events only occur upon disposal (sale, trade, spend). Conversely, certain activities create immediate tax liability. Trump reported ~$510,808 in staking rewards and ~$45,932 in USDC interest, both treated as ordinary income taxed in the year received. The IRS views staking rewards as income at fair market value upon receipt. Other reported income includes $635M in memecoin royalties, NFT licensing fees (ordinary income), and $236.25M from token/equity sales (capital gains). Long-term holdings qualify for lower capital gains rates. The article concludes that the simplest, most overlooked tax strategy is straightforward: hold assets without selling to defer taxes on unrealized gains indefinitely. This principle applies to all crypto investors regardless of portfolio size.

Arcus Chooses "Stepfather" Robinhood Chain, "Biological Father" dYdX Awkwardly Attempts to Salvage the Situation

Robinhood officially launched its own Layer 2 network, Robinhood Chain. In response, many major DeFi protocols like Uniswap and Chainlink announced integration. A key point of discussion was Arcus, a new decentralized exchange (DEX) developed by the dYdX team, which chose to launch on Robinhood Chain instead of the native dYdX Chain. Arcus offers 24/7, zero-fee trading of 95 tokenized stocks and perpetual contracts. This move sparked community concerns about dYdX Chain potentially being sidelined, causing DYDX token's price to drop over 12%. Critics questioned if dYdX Labs' focus is shifting to Arcus and how DYDX token holders would benefit from Arcus's future growth, especially as its founder mentioned a future Arcus token would allocate a portion to the dYdX community. dYdX founder Antonio Juliano clarified that dYdX Chain will continue operating, but acknowledged its deep decentralization involved trade-offs in performance and user experience. He stated Arcus is a separate product led by a new CEO, responding to market demands for faster, simpler platforms. The dYdX Foundation also confirmed DYDX's role remains unchanged for dYdX Chain governance and staking, with no plans for token migration. However, the core uncertainty remains: if Arcus succeeds, how will that value flow back to dYdX Chain and its DYDX token holders?

The Trillion-Dollar Credit Market Leveraged by Stablecoins, Stuck in Off-Chain Risk Control

**Stablecoins Fueling Trillion-Dollar Private Credit Market, Hampered by Off-Chain Risk Management** This article examines how interest-bearing stablecoins are replicating the business model of money market funds to democratize access to the $2 trillion private credit market, while highlighting the significant risks posed by inadequate off-chain risk controls. Historically, private credit investments had high minimums (e.g., $1 million+) due to costly due diligence and loan servicing. Stablecoins like Apollo's ACRED and Figure's YLDS are bridging this gap. They tokenize institutional credit funds, allowing small investors to gain exposure and enabling new functionalities like using these tokens as collateral in DeFi for leveraged yield. The on-chain private credit market has grown 15x in a year to $5.87 billion, yet remains a tiny fraction of the global total. However, the core challenge is not blockchain technology but managing the inherent risks of lending, which occur off-chain. The failure of Goldfinch, a pioneer in on-chain private credit, serves as a stark warning. It raised funds in crypto (USDC) to lend to small businesses in markets like Kenya and Nigeria. While smart contracts handled fund distribution, critical functions—local due diligence, monitoring loan use, and debt collection—relied on off-chain partners. A major breach, where a local partner misappropriated nearly 40% of funds, went undetected for months. When borrowers defaulted, crypto depositors had no effective legal recourse or means to seize assets, leaving $56 million trapped in non-performing loans with a projected 8-15 year recovery timeline. The article concludes that tokenization addresses only 10% of the credit business—the distribution. The remaining 90%—rigorous risk assessment and collection infrastructure—is expensive and localization-dependent. Without solving these fundamental off-chain challenges, the sector risks repeating Goldfinch's collapse.

All about Solana’s 4.7M milestone and SOL’s attempt to clear $75-level

Solana recently reached a significant milestone with active addresses surging to 4.7 million, indicating a substantial increase in network activity and user engagement. This growth in on-chain interactions could boost market confidence and demand for SOL. The token's price is currently testing a critical technical resistance level near the $75 mark, represented by a key Exponential Moving Average. A successful breakout above this level could signal a shift in market structure and potentially lead to a broader recovery, with the next target around $83. On-chain data reveals ongoing token accumulation by holders and a reduction in circulating supply, suggesting a potential supply-demand imbalance that could drive prices higher in the near term. Fundamental analysis adds to the bullish case, as Solana's Price-to-Sales ratio stands around 2, which some investors interpret as a sign the token may be undervalued at its current trading price. While this metric is not a short-term trading signal, it provides supportive context for ongoing accumulation. Together, the improving network fundamentals, holder behavior, and valuation metrics appear to be aligning to support a potential price breakout for SOL.
