Abstract

Antarctic has announced that Season 1 of its points program will launch on June 8, 2026. The program rewards user activity, with a primary focus on trading volume. For every $1,000 in eligible trading volume, users earn 1 base point (AX Point). These base points are then multiplied by an undisclosed, tier-based "Contribution Score," which scales with a user's platform ranking and considers consistent activity versus isolated volume spikes. Additional eligible activities for earning points include liquidity pool staking, lifetime referrals, platform quests, community participation, and other activities introduced during the season. Following the points program launch, Antarctic also plans to introduce a "Revival Account" feature, designed to allow liquidated traders a chance to recover losses; activity from this account will also be eligible for points. A trader's final accumulated points at the season's end will determine their proportional share of the Season 1 reward pool. Full program details will be released through official Antarctic channels.

Antarctic has announced that Season 1 of its points program will begin on June 8, 2026. The program will calculate each trader’s accumulated balance at the end of the season to determine a proportional share of the Season 1 reward pool.

Season 1 is designed to recognize activity across the Antarctic platform, with trading volume serving as the primary source of base points. The program also adds on broader participation signals, including staking activity, referrals, platform quests, social participation.

Under the Season 1 scoring model, final points are calculated through the following structure:

Base Points x Contribution Score = Points you earn

The Base points are generated through eligible trading volume. Every $1,000 in trading volume earns 1 AX Point.

The contribution score functions as a multiplier applied on top of base points. The full structure of the contribution score will not be publicly disclosed. It is tier-based and scales with each trader’s platform ranking. Consistent activity across the season is weighted differently from isolated volume spikes.

Eligible earning methods during Season 1 include trading activity across qualified positions such like:
– Trading activities
– Liquidity pool staking
– Lifetime referrals
– Platform quests, community participation
– Other activities that may be introduced during the season.

Antarctic also plans to introduce a novel “Revival Account” following its points program launch. While exact details are yet to be released, the account is designed to give a second chance to traders liquidated on Antarctic to recover realized losses. Activity generated through this revival account will be eligible for accumulating points in the same manner as standard trading positions.

Full details on Season 1 eligibility, Revival account, and additional earning methods will be released through official Antarctic channels.

After R&D Investment Catches Up with the U.S., Is the Sino-U.S. Chip Competition Still Just About Money?

The article examines the significance of recent data showing China's total R&D expenditure, measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), catching up to or slightly surpassing that of the United States in 2024. It argues that while this milestone reflects China's immense capacity to mobilize research resources, the competition in semiconductors now extends far beyond sheer financial input. The analysis highlights key differences: China's R&D is heavily skewed towards experimental development (over 80%), focusing on product engineering and industrialization, whereas the U.S. allocates a proportionally larger share (about 15%) to basic research. Furthermore, leading U.S. semiconductor firms reinvest a significant portion of their substantial global sales revenue into R&D, creating a sustainable commercial innovation cycle that is difficult to replicate. The article emphasizes that semiconductor progress depends on converting R&D into commercially viable products that pass rigorous customer validation and achieve repeat orders, not just on spending levels. It concludes that as China enters the top tier of R&D spenders, the critical challenges shift to improving resource allocation efficiency, fostering long-term basic research, and building effective mechanisms to bridge the gap between laboratory discoveries and reliable, market-ready industrial capabilities.

Walsh: 2% Inflation Target Unwavering, Maintain Independence, Focus on AI Transformation (Full Text Attached)

Fed Chair Warsh emphasized an unwavering commitment to the 2% inflation target, stating there is "no soft target" and that the FOMC is united on this goal. He indicated that if high inflation persists, interest rate hikes would likely be part of the solution. The Fed voted 9-3 to maintain the benchmark rate at 3.5%-3.75%. Warsh announced a significant shift in policy communication, moving away from forward guidance. He noted that market rates have risen between meetings, reflecting a tightening of financial conditions as participants now react more to direct economic data rather than Fed signals. On AI, Warsh highlighted a nearly 20% annual growth rate in high-tech capital expenditures related to artificial intelligence. He acknowledged its potential to boost productivity and supply but also its role in driving up prices for certain sectors like chips and AI infrastructure. The Fed is assessing whether these price pressures will remain sector-specific or spread more broadly. Warsh stressed the Fed's independence, asserting it will not deviate from its mandate due to external pressures. He framed the current decision not as a "pause" but as a period of rigorous review of economic conditions, with future actions to be data-dependent.

Top 10% of American Households Capture 88% of Wealth, How Is the AI Era Cake Divided?

AI Worsens Wealth Inequality as Top 10% of US Families Garner 88% of Stock Gains (2019-2026) A report from the China Finance 40 Forum highlights that the AI boom is significantly widening wealth inequality in the United States. From 2019 to Q1 2026, wealth from directly held stocks by US households nearly doubled from $29 trillion to approximately $55 trillion, with rapid growth concentrated post-2023, coinciding with the AI-driven stock market surge. The distribution of these gains has been starkly uneven. Between 2022 and Q1 2026, the wealth increase of about $21 trillion was captured almost entirely by the wealthiest families: the top 10% secured roughly 88% ($18.5 trillion), while the bottom 50% received only about 1% ($0.2 trillion). This has contributed to a growing disparity in disposable income shares. The report, referencing economic historian Robert Allen, draws parallels to historical technological shifts like the "Engels' Pause" during the First Industrial Revolution, where worker wages stagnated despite productivity gains. It suggests AI could induce a similar period where capital收益 outpace labor income, exacerbating inequality. Huang Yiping of Peking University identifies four mechanisms through which AI impacts income distribution: capital-bias (reducing labor's income share), task polarization (hollowing out middle-skill jobs), skill-based digital divides, and wealth amplification through assets. He warns that if this trend continues, strong supply growth driven by AI could be undermined by persistently weak consumer demand, threatening sustainable economic growth. To address these challenges, the report proposes a three-pronged strategy: 1) Defensive measures like strengthening social safety nets and antitrust enforcement; 2) Empowering workers through education reform and lifelong learning to collaborate with AI; and 3) Rebalancing via policies such as potential taxes on AI超额收益 and mechanisms for broader sharing of technology's benefits, ensuring AI's红利 are more equitably distributed.

Finland to "cut" cables: Russian operators will have to look for new internet routes

Finland will cut the optical fiber communication cables attached to its power transmission line pylons along the border with Russia by 2027, according to its energy company Fingrid. This follows the 2022 halt of electricity imports from Russia, making the infrastructure economically unviable to maintain solely for telecom needs. Currently, about 60-70% of Russia's international internet traffic transits through Finland, with up to 30% of these lines running along the power lines in question. Russian telecom operators are negotiating with Finnish counterparts for alternative routes. Potential backups include lines through Belarus, Baltic states, and submarine cables in the Baltic Sea. While no major impact on user traffic is expected, potential effects include rerouting, reduced network redundancy, and increased latency, especially for users in northwestern and European Russia. An AI analysis notes that shifting to submarine cables introduces new risks, as they are vulnerable to anchor damage and lengthy repairs. This technical move occurs alongside broader trends toward digital autonomy in Russia, raising questions about the future reliability of external internet channels.
