Google DeepMind's Chief Strategy Officer Jasjeet Sekhon stated that one of the key investment logics behind the current capital inflow in the AI industry is betting on AI systems achieving Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI). At the Agentic AI Summit at the University of California, Berkeley, Sekhon pointed out that the capital investment in the AI industry needs to demonstrate its value through more advanced capabilities, namely that AI can automatically improve itself and create stronger next-generation systems. RSI has become an important component of AI investment logic, distinguishing itself from traditional models that rely on human research and training. The concept of Recursive Self-Improvement envisions AI systems that can autonomously optimize algorithms, improve model architectures, and continuously enhance their capabilities. Sekhon believes that RSI is replacing AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) as the new core narrative in the AI field. As companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, along with cloud computing giants, continue to invest massive amounts of money in building computational infrastructure, the market bets that AI may transition from a phase of scaling to a phase of self-enhancement. However, whether RSI can be realized remains controversial. Currently, while AI models possess capabilities for code generation, tool invocation, and automatic optimization, they still face technical, safety, and controllability challenges before achieving true autonomous recursive improvement.

Banco Santander's Form 13F-HR, filed July 29, 2026, reports 129,615 shares of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust worth $4.31M as of June 30 — its first-ever disclosed spot-bitcoin-ETF position, alongside a first ether-ETF holding. What the filing shows is a quarter-end snapshot of ETF shares; what it does not show is motive, or bitcoin on the bank's balance sheet.




Agave v4.2 targets mainnet feature activations on 17 August 2026, but the slot-time change is only step one of a five-step reduction — 400ms to 350ms, not the 200ms end state. Alpenglow's complete code ships with this release; its activation is set for v4.3.











Japan and the United States bought yen together on 31 July 2026, their first coordinated yen-buying operation since June 1998, and the currency has since firmed from a 40-year low of 163.99 into the 155-156 area. This explainer sets out the three channels linking the yen to bitcoin: carry-trade unwind risk, yen-denominated repricing, and the dollar-weakness correlation that points the other way.
