PANews, March 19, Nvidia announced today the launch of the NVIDIA Blackwell platform to empower a new era of computing. The platform enables institutions around the world to build and run real-time generative AI on trillion-parameter large language models (LLMs) at up to 25x lower cost and energy consumption than the previous generation. The Blackwell GPU architecture is powered by six transformative accelerated computing technologies that will enable breakthroughs in data processing, engineering simulation, electronic design automation, computer-aided drug design, quantum computing, and generative AI. The NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell superchip connects two NVIDIA B200 Tensor Core GPUs to NVIDIA Grace CPUs via an ultra-low-power 900GB/s chip-to-chip interconnect. Compared to NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, the GB200 superchip delivers up to 30x faster performance for LLM inference workloads and up to 25x lower cost and power consumption. In addition, NVIDIA also launched a general base model for the field of robotics called GR00T during the GTC conference in San Jose, USA. In addition, Nvidia has introduced a new computer for robotics, Thor, which has been specifically optimized for performance, power consumption and size. According to reports, Nvidia hopes that through this initiative, robots will have smarter brains, so that they can make natural imitation actions by observing human behavior, which will greatly improve the coordination and flexibility of actions.

Odaily Planet Daily News reported that THORSwap announced on X platform that 4,349,162 THOR tokens were burned in January, exceeding the monthly burning target for 7 consecutive months (164% in January). So far, approximately 68.82 million THOR tokens have been burned, accounting for approximately 13.76% of the total supply.

PANews reported on December 9 that crypto researcher Thor Hartvigsen said on the X platform that the year-to-date performance of various asset classes is: BTC up 163%, ETH up 95%, Nasdaq up 39%, SPDR S&P 500 ETF up 22%, gold up 8%.

According to Golden Finance, decentralized exchange THORswap said on social media that so far, THOR has burned a total of 55.9 million tokens, accounting for more than 10% of the supply. In addition, an additional 140,235 THOR had previously been mistakenly burned by community members and restored under the TIP-005 Governance Proposal.

According to court documents, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has rendered a default judgment against Thor Technologies and its founder, David Chin, for conducting a $2.6 million unregistered crypto-asset securities offering. A default judgment usually occurs when the opposing party fails to take certain actions, either fails to attend the trial or fails to file documents within the prescribed time limit. The SEC accused Thor and Cin of offering and selling "Thor tokens" to fund gig economy workers and companies' software platform businesses. The SEC said the sale of the Thor token was not registered with the SEC but was marketed as an investment opportunity. The court barred Thor and Chin from participating in any crypto-asset securities offering and ordered a call of $744,555 with pre-judgment interest of $158,638.06. The order does not prevent Chin from buying or selling securities, including crypto-asset securities, for his personal account.

PANews reported on October 13 that THORSwap has resumed trading of its native token RUNE and updated the "Terms of Service", adding "some additional protective measures" to prevent illegal financial flows and comply with legal regulations, and block users from US sanctioned countries. Some users were quick to express concern about the new rules, saying they violated the principles of decentralization. Responding to THORSwap, cryptocurrency researcher Matt Ahlborg said blanket bans would be immoral because they would adversely affect "hundreds of millions of innocent people." One THORChain supporter replied that users from sanctioned countries could use other apps instead of THORSwap because it was built by "the American team" and "must be legally complied with." On Friday, THORSwap said it would temporarily switch to maintenance mode given that illicit funds were using THORChain. SINCE THORSwap suspended trading, rune has been in a downtrend, down 27% OVER 7 DAYS, FROM A LOW OF $2.03 TO $1.48. THOR also rose 11.5% after the announcement.
