Introduzione

Kwon had successfully appealed a previous decision by the same court to send him to the U.S.

Terra founder Do Kwon can be extradited to South Korea to face criminal charges over the collapse of his crypto enterprise, a Montenegrin court ruled.

The U.S. and South Korea both requested his extradition, and Montenegrin authorities make the decision on where he goes.

Do Kwon, a co-founder of Terraform Labs, can be extradited to South Korea to face criminal charges concerning the May 2022 collapse of his multibillion-dollar crypto enterprise, a Montenegrin high court has ruled, according to local news reports from Thursday.

The South Korean national successfully appealed an earlier ruling by the same court, which approved his extradition to the U.S. It's likely he will also challenge this latest decision.

Following Terra's collapse, Kwon managed to evade South Korean authorities for some time until he was arrested last year in Montenegro while attempting to travel with faked documents. Kwon was arrested alongside former Terra executive Han Chang-joon, who was extradited to South Korea in February.

Kwon has remained in Montenegro, first serving a four-month sentence for possession of falsified documents and then later until a decision on his extradition is made.

The U.S. and South Korea both requested Kwon's extradition. In the U.S., Kwon faces a securities fraud trial.

Standard Chartered Added Another Promising Altcoin to Its List and Shared a Growth Forecast! 'It Could Grow 25 Times!'

British banking giant Standard Chartered has added another altcoin to its list of promising assets with growth potential: Chainlink (LINK). The bank has set a $200 price target for LINK by the end of 2030, representing a potential 25-fold increase from its current price of around $8. Standard Chartered argues that the anticipated boom in asset tokenization will require reliable blockchain data, positioning Chainlink as critical infrastructure connecting blockchains with external data and financial systems. The bank forecasts the tokenized asset market could reach approximately $4 trillion by 2030. The analysis notes that Chainlink has expanded beyond oracles to include interoperability, compliance, and privacy features, making it a comprehensive platform for both decentralized (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi). Growing adoption by institutions like Swift, DTCC, JPMorgan, and Mastercard is cited as supporting its growth trajectory. The bank concludes these factors could drive LINK to its $2030 target.

Moore Threads, Having Just Raised 8 Billion, Is Already Planning a Hong Kong IPO

On August 9th, Moore Threads announced plans for a Hong Kong IPO alongside a strong first-half 2026 earnings report. Listed on the Shanghai STAR Market in December 2025 as the "first domestic GPU stock," the company raised 8 billion yuan. Its stock price initially surged but has since fallen 40% from its peak. This decline followed market concerns over its use of substantial idle raised funds for low-risk financial products instead of promised projects. The company's H1 2026 revenue reached 1.74 billion yuan, a 147.4% year-over-year increase, already surpassing its full-year 2025 revenue. This growth is attributed to strong demand for AI and full-feature GPUs, particularly its Kuae AI computing clusters. Despite the revenue surge, Moore Threads remains unprofitable on a non-GAAP basis, with a net loss of 115 million yuan after adjustments. R&D and sales expenses grew significantly. The proposed Hong Kong listing aims to support its global strategy, attract international talent, and improve corporate governance, following the path of other Chinese tech firms pursuing dual listings. However, its港股 IPO valuation may face challenges as international investors could benchmark it against peers like Biren Technology, potentially demanding a discount. In summary, while Moore Threads is expanding rapidly and strategically seeking a港股 listing for global growth, it continues to face profitability challenges amid high costs and market skepticism about its capital allocation and valuation.

Hassabis Predicts: AI's 'Move 37' in Mathematics is Only a Matter of Time

Demis Hassabis, the co-founder of DeepMind, predicts that AI achieving a "Move 37" level breakthrough in mathematics—solving a major unsolved problem like a Millennium Prize problem—is only a matter of time. He draws a parallel to the pivotal "Move 37" in the 2016 AlphaGo vs. Lee Sedol match, where AI's unconventional play challenged human understanding. Conversely, Lee Sedol's "Move 78" victory highlighted human resilience and the potential for human-AI collaboration. The article details AI's rapid progress in mathematics. Starting from basic arithmetic errors in 2023, AI systems like AlphaProof and Gemini Deep Think reached gold-medal levels in the International Mathematical Olympiad by 2025. The shift from problem-solving to genuine research began in 2025, with AI (e.g., GPT-5, Claude Fable 5) contributing key ideas to solve or refute long-standing conjectures like the Erdős problem 848 and the Jacobian conjecture. In 2026, AI achieved breakthroughs such as OpenAI's solution to the plane unit-distance problem and DeepMind's Aletheia agent autonomously tackling multiple open problems. Hassabis envisions a "centaur" era of science, where human intuition guides AI in complex, less-verifiable fields like biology and drug discovery. While AI can enhance human creativity and efficiency, as seen in post-AlphaGo围棋, there is a risk of over-reliance diminishing human judgment. The core challenge is for humanity to find its own "Move 78"—leveraging AI while maintaining critical insight and direction.

MacBook Air in High Demand, Apple Seeks New Supply Amid Memory Crisis

A global memory chip shortage has plunged Apple's popular MacBook Air into a state of severe scarcity. Customers face extended delivery times online, often 4-6 weeks for high-memory models, and spotty availability at retail stores. The shortage, intensifying during the back-to-school season, stems from a supply crunch in DRAM (dynamic random-access memory) chips. Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledged significant supply constraints, warning their impact will worsen in the September quarter. He attributed the crisis to surging demand from AI data center construction by cloud giants, which prioritizes production of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and squeezes supply for other DRAM products. Cook described the resulting memory price hikes as "exponential" and unprecedented, forcing Apple to reluctantly raise product prices. In response, Apple is actively seeking new DRAM suppliers to diversify its supply chain, including reportedly testing chips from China's ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). While Apple's recent quarterly results showed strong growth, the CFO cautioned that supply limitations will more significantly affect iPhone, Mac, and iPad sales in the coming quarter, tempering revenue growth expectations.
