November 22, 2022 Huobi, one of the world’s leading virtual assets exchanges, today launched its refreshed branding strategy where it will be known simply as “Huobi” instead of “Huobi Global”. It also unveiled its global expansion roadmap for the first time after its acquisition by About Capital last month, which will follow a more globalized approach to operations.

The new name consists of two Chinese characters“火” and “必”. The first one represents perpetual vitality and passing this same vitality through future generations in Chinese culture. The second one means determination to win, which represents its ambition to return to the top 3 exchanges of the industry.

In Chinese, the character “必” can also be seen as an amalgamation of the characters “心” and “义” , which mean “heart” and “righteousness”, respectively. The symbolism behind the two Chinese characters means the new Huobi will serve from its heart in providing professional digital asset management services to global users. This is also reflected in its mission - “Enhancing Asset Safety, Promoting Financial Inclusion”.

Meanwhile, the new name also upholds the traditional Chinese virtue of "righteousness", implements the brand’s philosophy of “Science and Technology for Good”, contributes to the innovation and development of global blockchain and virtual asset technology, and realizes Huobi’s vision of "Technology Changes the World.”

His Excellency Justin Sun, Huobi’s global advisory board member and Ambassador of Grenada to the WTO, said: “In the nine years since it was founded, Huobi has become a household name in the virtual assets market as one of the most established players.”

“Beyond a virtual assets trading platform, Huobi also stands for safety, convenience, and friendliness, which the shortened name will more fully represent. With its refreshed branding, new roadmap and the guidance of its global advisory board, I am confident that Huobi can strengthen its market leadership and reclaim its top rankings alongside other industry heavyweights,” he added.

After the brand refresh, Huobi will work to strengthen its brand and give full play to the important strategic attributes of HT. With the latter at the heart of its business strategy, Huobi will continue to explore high-quality projects in the market through HT voting for listings.

The company will also focus on creating cutting-edge assets and supporting assets with strong market potential, as well as empowering communities built on projects. In keeping with the spirit of using science and technology for good, Huobi will strive to build a safer and more stable environment for users to participate in early-stage quality projects.

As part of its global expansion, Huobi will establish a presence in the Caribbean region which is well-positioned as a virtual assets hub with its welcoming regulatory stance, common law systems and use of English language.

Huobi will also ramp up its investments in Southeast Asia, Europe and other regions which offer strong growth potential for its user base. To increase its scale in step with its expansion, Huobi will explore pursuing strategic mergers and acquisitions. It will also focus on recruiting world-class talents in blockchain and virtual assets.

In terms of compliance, Huobi will continue to abide by regulatory policies wherever it operates, stepping up cooperation with other countries and building a compliant operating model for doing business globally.

Deep Insight: Decentralized Inference is Not Hype, but a Key Track for AI to Break Through Centralized Monopoly

Decentralized Reasoning: Beyond the Hype, a Key to Breaking AI's Centralized Monopoly A future scenario where a powerful AI model is banned by a major government illustrates the core value proposition of decentralized AI: resistance to censorship. The core bet of decentralized inference networks is mitigating this risk, with other benefits like cost being secondary. The path is extremely difficult, involving four key challenges: 1. **Running Massive Models:** Distributing a single model across a decentralized GPU swarm requires sophisticated techniques like pipeline and speculative decoding to overcome crippling network latency, aiming for usable speeds (e.g., 30-40 tokens/second). 2. **Proving Model Integrity:** Verifying that a node runs the correct model is critical. Solutions range from cryptographically secure but slow ZKML to faster, economically-secure methods like statistical fingerprints, deterministic re-execution, or live-weight proofs, each involving trade-offs between integrity, latency, and cost. 3. **Ensuring Prompt Privacy:** Simply sharding a model does not protect user inputs from nodes. Robust solutions currently require trusted hardware (TEEs) or advanced cryptography (FHE), which are not yet widely deployed in consumer swarms. 4. **Building a Real Market:** Identifying the ideal customer is tough. Beyond speculative AI agents, the viable market currently consists of startups embedding AI and projects needing batch processing (e.g., synthetic data generation), where decentralized aggregation can be an advantage over low-latency needs. The article analyzes several projects tackling these problems, such as Dolphin Network (live-weight proofs), Inference.net (statistical verification), Morpheus (TEE-based), and Darkbloom (Apple Secure Enclave). It provides a framework: decentralization is a "tax" for latency-sensitive applications (e.g., chat) but a potential supply-side advantage for throughput-oriented tasks (e.g., batch processing). The long-term vision is a closed data loop where decentralized inference generates valuable data (traces, preferences) to feed decentralized training networks, which in turn produce better open-weight models for the inference networks. A due diligence checklist advises focusing on projects that: are truly decentralized at specific layers; have a credible integrity method; offer real cost benefits; ensure genuine privacy; handle node reliability; have paying users; and are built by teams with deep AI expertise. The ultimate goal should be products that appeal beyond the crypto-native audience, using crypto mechanisms invisibly to deliver better cost, performance, or privacy.

The Final Piece of Franklin Templeton's Crypto Ambition

Franklin Templeton Completes Crypto Ambition with Acquisition of 250 Digital On June 22, Franklin Templeton announced the acquisition of 250 Digital and established Franklin Crypto, a new division focused on actively managed cryptocurrency strategies for institutional investors. The unit is led by Christopher Perkins and Seth Ginns. This acquisition marks a key piece in Franklin Templeton's multi-year crypto strategy, which began in 2018 with a digital assets team. The firm's crypto product suite now spans three layers: tokenized funds like the blockchain-based money market fund BENJI (~$831M AUM); a series of passive ETFs including Bitcoin (EZBC, ~$368M), Ethereum (EZET), XRP (XRPZ, ~$252M), Solana (SOEZ), and a multi-crypto index fund (EZPZ); and the newly added active management strategies from Franklin Crypto. The company has also expanded its crypto ecosystem through investments in projects like Ethena and Crossmint, and collaborations with blockchains such as Aptos and Sui. With approximately $18B in digital asset AUM and a total firm AUM of ~$1.78T, Franklin Templeton is positioning itself as a comprehensive crypto asset manager for pensions and sovereign wealth funds. In contrast, competitor Fidelity Investments has taken a different path, focusing early on building its own custody and trading infrastructure. Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) holds over $11B, significantly larger than Franklin Templeton's equivalent offering. Both giants' moves underscore the deepening trend of traditional finance entering the crypto space.
