저스틴 선, AI 멀티모델 단일 게이트웨이 ‘B.AI’ 출시…Claude·GPT·Gemini 하나로
익명 크립토 결제·KYC 없음…GPT-5.5·DeepSeek·GLM 최신 모델도 추가

트론(TRON) 블록체인 설립자 저스틴 선(Justin Sun)이 Claude·GPT·Gemini·Kimi·GLM·MiniMax 등 주요 AI 모델을 하나의 API 키로 접근할 수 있는 플랫폼 ‘B.AI’를 출시했다. 익명 블록체인 주소로 결제하고 별도의 본인인증(KYC) 없이 사용할 수 있는 구조가 특징이다.

B.AI의 구조 — AI 모델의 단일 게이트웨이
B.AI는 여러 AI 서비스 제공사와 API를 직접 연결해 중간 개입 없이 원본 모델 응답을 전달한다고 표방한다. 사용자는 하나의 API 키만으로 Claude, GPT, Gemini 등 각 모델을 선택적으로 호출할 수 있다.

결제는 블록체인 주소 방식의 익명 결제와 Visa·마스터카드·Apple Pay 등 기존 결제 수단을 모두 지원한다. ERC-8004(온체인 신원 표준)와 x402(자율 결제 프로토콜)를 통합해 AI 에이전트가 인간 개입 없이 독립적으로 서비스 비용을 처리하도록 설계됐다.

최신 모델 추가 — GPT-5.5·DeepSeek·GLM
B.AI는 최근 GPT-5.5 Instant, DeepSeek-v3.2, MiniMax-M2.7, GLM-5.1 등을 API 생태계에 추가했다. 플랫폼 내 모델 선택지가 주요 개방형 모델을 대부분 포괄하는 수준으로 확장됐다.

트론 네트워크는 2026년 4월 기준 USDT 유통량 860억 달러, 계정 수 3억 7,500만 개를 보유하고 있다. B.AI는 이 생태계의 결제 인프라를 AI 서비스와 연결하는 시도로 볼 수 있다.

미국 인공지능(AI) 데이터센터 기업 하이퍼스케일 데이터(Hyperscale Data, NYSE American: GPUS)가 비트코인과 실물자산(RWA) 토큰화를 중심으로 한 블록체인 생태계 확장 전략을 공개했다. 회사는 7일(현지시간) 미국 마이애미에서 열린 글로벌 블록체인 컨퍼런스 ‘컨센서스(Consensus) 2026’에서 자사 핵심 사업과 디지털 자산 비전을 발표했다고 밝혔다.

이번 행사에서 하이퍼스케일 데이터의 회장인 밀턴 “토드” 올트 3세(Milton “Todd” Ault III)는 ‘무엇이 거래되는가: 은(Silver), 실물자산(RWA), 그리고 토큰화 상품 시장 구조(What Gets Traded: Silver, RWAs, and the Market Structure for Tokenized Commodities)’ 세션에 연사로 참여했다.

발표에서는 올트 블록체인(Ault Blockchain) 생태계와 토큰화된 실물자산 시장의 미래 구조가 주요 주제로 다뤄졌다. 특히 은(Silver)을 포함한 귀금속 토큰화와 기관 중심 결제 토큰인 ‘BMAX(Bitcoin Max)’ 활용 방안, 블록체인 기반 유동성 구조 및 규제 환경 등에 대한 논의가 이어졌다.

회사는 이번 발표를 통해 ▲올트 블록체인 및 $AULT 생태계의 장기 비전 ▲귀금속 기반 RWA 토큰화 ▲기관 참여를 위한 결제·유틸리티 토큰 BMAX ▲토큰화 실물자산 시장의 유동성 구조 ▲기관 및 파트너십 확대 전략 ▲AI·블록체인·금융 서비스 융합 등을 핵심 의제로 제시했다.

토드 올트 회장은 “블록체인 인프라와 자산 토큰화는 향후 10년 동안 금융시장의 구조를 변화시키고 실물자산 접근성을 확대할 잠재력을 가지고 있다”며 “컨센서스는 올트 블록체인 생태계가 토큰화 상품과 디지털 자산, 차세대 금융 인프라를 어떻게 지원할 것인지 논의할 수 있는 중요한 자리”라고 말했다.

다만 회사 측은 이번에 언급된 디지털 자산 사업들이 향후 법률·규제·시장 상황에 따라 달라질 수 있다고 설명했다.

이번 발표 자료는 미국 증권거래위원회(SEC)에 제출되는 Form 8-K 공시를 통해 공개될 예정이며, SEC 전자공시 시스템(EDGAR)과 회사 투자자 페이지를 통해 확인할 수 있다.

국내 1위 암호화폐 거래소 업비트(Upbit)가 이더리움(Ethereum) 레이어2(L2) 블록체인인 ‘GIWA 체인’을 출범한다고 5월 공시했다. 옵티미즘 파운데이션(Optimism Foundation)과 파트너십을 맺고 OP 스택(OP Stack)을 기반으로 자체 블록체인을 구축하는 방식이다.

OP 스택 기반, 시퀀서는 업비트가 직접 운영

GIWA 체인은 코인베이스(Coinbase)의 Base, 바이낸스(Binance)의 opBNB와 동일한 OP 스택 아키텍처를 채용했다. OP 스택은 이더리움 보안을 상속받으면서 독자적인 블록체인 환경을 구성할 수 있는 오픈소스 프레임워크다.

업비트는 자체 기본 시퀀서(primary sequencer) 운영권을 확보하고, 옵티미즘 파운데이션이 백업 시퀀서를 지원하는 구조를 선택했다. 이를 통해 거래 처리의 주도권을 업비트가 쥐되, 장애 발생 시 대체 경로를 확보한 이중 구조다.

리플(Ripple)이 JP모건(JPMorgan)·마스터카드(Mastercard)와 공동으로 토큰화된 미국 국채를 활용한 국경 간 결제를 세계 최초로 완료했다. 5월 6일 발표된 이 거래는 XRP 레저(XRP Ledger) 위에서 실물 자산 토큰(RWA, Real World Asset)을 활용해 실제 청산까지 완료한 첫 사례다.

토큰화 국채로 국경 간 즉시 결제

이번 거래의 핵심은 미국 국채를 블록체인상에서 토큰으로 발행한 뒤, 이를 결제 수단으로 사용해 국경 간 자금 이동을 완료한 것이다. 기존 국제 송금 방식은 중간 은행(코레스뱅크)을 거쳐 평균 2~5일이 소요되지만, 이번 방식은 수초 내 청산을 구현했다.

JP모건은 토큰화 국채 발행을, 마스터카드는 결제 네트워크 연결을 담당했고, XRP Ledger가 전체 트랜잭션의 기반 레일 역할을 맡았다.

RWA 시장에서 XRP의 위치

실물 자산 토큰화(RWA) 시장은 2026년 현재 2조 4700억 달러 규모로 성장했다. 국채·부동산·주식 등 전통 자산을 블록체인에서 토큰 형태로 거래하는 이 시장에서 XRP Ledger는 낮은 수수료와 빠른 처리 속도를 강점으로 내세우고 있다.

XRP 전용 현물 ETF도 5월 6일 하루 1303만 달러의 자금을 유입하며 기관 투자자의 관심을 반영했다.

Public companies are continuing to grow their Bitcoin treasuries in early 2026, even as the cryptocurrency trades well below last year’s levels. Recent disclosures show steady accumulation taking place away from market headlines.

Nasdaq-listed American Bitcoin Corporation said its Bitcoin holdings rose to 5,843 BTC, an increase of 416 coins from previous levels. The company, co-founded by Eric Trump, said it now ranks 18th among public Bitcoin treasury holders since its Nasdaq debut in September 2025, citing a BTC yield of 116% through Jan. 25.

Originally formed from Hut 8’s mining operations and now one of its key subsidiaries, American Bitcoin was not alone in expanding reserves. AI data center firm Hyperscale Data disclosed that its subsidiary Ault Capital Group purchased 10 BTC during the week ended Jan. 25, lifting consolidated holdings to 560 BTC.

Healthcare services provider SRx Health Solutions also reported crypto holdings worth $18 million across Bitcoin and Ether, signaling continued interest from non-tech sectors.

These corporate allocations come as Bitcoin prices have remained largely flat over the past month, hovering near $88,000 and sitting more than 12% lower year-on-year. While short-term price momentum has stalled, companies appear to view current levels as an accumulation zone rather than a deterrent.

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, accelerated its purchases in January, acquiring tens of thousands of BTC and lifting total holdings above 712,000 coins.

Not all companies are adding exposure, however. GameStop recently transferred its entire 4,710 BTC holding to Coinbase Prime, fueling speculation that it may be reassessing its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

Overall, while prices remain range-bound, corporate behavior suggests confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term role on balance sheets is quietly strengthening in 2026.

Public companies quietly expand Bitcoin holdings despite flat prices was originally published in The Capital on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

GD Culture Group (GDC), a publicly listed AI and digital marketing holding company, has authorized the sale of Bitcoin from its corporate treasury to finance its share buyback program.

The company holds 7,500 BTC, acquired in September 2025 through an $875 million transaction when Bitcoin traded between $109,000 and $117,000. With BTC currently near $60,000–$70,000 levels, GDC’s Bitcoin investment is down approximately 41%.

The board approved the potential sale of BTC in one or more transactions, though the company is not obligated to liquidate any specific amount.

Earlier this year, GDC announced a $100 million share repurchase program over a six-month period. Shares rose more than 24% following the announcement.

GDC ranks as the 15th-largest publicly traded Bitcoin treasury company by holdings. Its multiple on net asset value (mNAV) stands at 0.42, indicating that its market capitalization trades at a discount relative to the dollar value of its Bitcoin holdings.

The move comes amid broader market weakness that has pressured Bitcoin treasury companies and compressed mNAV multiples across the sector.

The court-appointed administrator overseeing Terraform Labs’ bankruptcy has filed a lawsuit against trading firm Jane Street, alleging insider trading that worsened the collapse of the Terra ecosystem.

In a complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, administrator Todd Snyder accused Jane Street and certain executives of misappropriating material non-public information and using it to trade Terra-linked tokens ahead of the 2022 collapse.

The Terra ecosystem imploded in May 2022 after its algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) lost its dollar peg, triggering a death spiral that erased approximately $40 billion in market value. Terraform later filed for bankruptcy in 2024, and co-founder Do Kwon pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the U.S.

According to the complaint, Jane Street allegedly liquidated tens of millions of UST shortly after Terraform withdrew liquidity from a trading pool, actions that the administrator claims accelerated the ecosystem’s collapse.

Jane Street has denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit baseless and asserting that investor losses stemmed from fraud committed by Terraform’s management.

The case could broaden legal scrutiny of institutional trading practices within the crypto sector and reshape accountability debates surrounding the Terra collapse.

UAE-based crypto financial services firm CLS Global has pleaded guilty to charges of manipulating the trading volume of a token created by the FBI as part of an operation to catch cryptocurrency fraudsters.

According to a plea deal announced on January 21, CLS Global admitted to two counts of fraudulent cryptocurrency trading manipulation and wire fraud. The firm agreed to pay a $428,059 fine and forfeit all funds in its Binance and KuCoin accounts.

The company was caught in an FBI operation involving an AI-related token called NexFundAI (NEXF), designed to lure those engaging in fraudulent activities, particularly pump-and-dump schemes.

The FBI posed as scammers and sought CLS’s assistance in inflating the token’s trading volume, making NEXF appear more popular to deceive potential investors.

As part of the plea deal, CLS acknowledged providing services for NEXF, including wash trading, to attract investors fraudulently. The firm is now banned from participating in crypto transactions on platforms accessible to US investors and has been placed on three years of probation. It must also annually certify compliance with these restrictions to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

CLS Global can no longer offer its services in the United States. Last October, the SEC filed separate civil charges against the company for securities law violations, which resulted in a separate resolution.

According to the Massachusetts US Attorney’s Office, funds seized from or paid by CLS will be credited across the criminal and civil settlements.

The case is the first publicized example of the FBI creating a digital token and fake crypto company to bait and catch market fraudsters.

CLS Global did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Taylor Lindman, formerly deputy general counsel at Chainlink Labs, has joined the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force as its new chief counsel.

Lindman fills the role previously held by Michael Selig, who transitioned to chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) last December.

As chief counsel, Lindman will serve as senior legal advisor, overseeing regulatory interpretation, compliance strategy and policy risk management within the task force.

With over a decade of legal experience, Lindman spent more than five years at Chainlink Labs, where he managed compliance across U.S. and international regulatory frameworks. He also participated in discussions with the SEC task force in 2025 regarding token taxonomy and securities record-keeping standards.

The SEC’s Crypto Task Force, established in 2025, has engaged in industry roundtables and consultations to refine digital asset regulatory approaches. Lindman’s appointment reflects continued integration of industry expertise into regulatory leadership roles.

The US Federal Reserve is moving into a phase of gradual balance sheet expansion rather than aggressive money printing, according to macro analyst Lyn Alden.

In her Feb. 8 investment strategy newsletter, Alden said her base case aligns closely with the Fed’s own projections, where the central bank expands its balance sheet roughly in line with nominal GDP growth or total bank assets. This approach contrasts with expectations of a large-scale quantitative easing cycle.

Alden noted that such a policy path is likely to provide mild support to asset prices rather than trigger dramatic rallies. She added that her strategy continues to favor scarce, high-quality assets, while rebalancing away from areas that become excessively euphoric.

The commentary comes amid heightened market uncertainty following President Donald Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair. Warsh is widely viewed as more hawkish on interest rates than other candidates, raising questions about monetary policy direction in 2026.

Monetary policy remains a key driver for crypto markets. Expanding liquidity typically benefits risk assets, while tighter financial conditions often pressure asset prices.

Market expectations for a rate cut at the March FOMC meeting have declined, with CME FedWatch data showing less than a 20% probability of a cut. Current Fed Chair Jerome Powell has emphasized the challenge of balancing inflation risks with slowing employment, offering limited forward guidance.

Powell’s term expires in May 2025, and Warsh has yet to be confirmed by the US Senate, leaving markets cautious about the future policy outlook.
