The IPO process of AI chip company Cerebras Systems has once again attracted market attention, with key beneficiaries including Foundation, renowned venture capital firm Benchmark, and OpenAI. Cerebras, long considered a potential competitor to Nvidia, focuses on developing hyperscale AI chips, but its commercialization process has been fraught with difficulties. The company withdrew its IPO prospectus in 2025, stalling its listing plans. However, with the continued rise in the AI infrastructure boom, the market is once again focusing on its potential listing value and early investor returns. Early investors, including Benchmark, and OpenAI, which has a partnership with the company, are all likely to reap substantial benefits from Cerebras' future IPO. (The Information)

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the two-day BRICS foreign ministers' meeting concluded today (May 15) in India. Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi stated at a press conference that Iran is trying to maintain the ceasefire and give diplomacy a chance, but is also prepared to return to the battlefield. Araqchi said that negotiations between Iran and the US aimed at ending the war remain stalled. Pakistan's mediation process has not failed, but it has encountered "difficulties"—Iran has "no trust" in the US, and will only be interested in negotiating with the US if the US is serious. Araqchi pointed out that the "contradictory messages" released by the US have made Iran suspicious of the US's true intentions in the negotiations. (CCTV International News)

A private banking client in Hong Kong has been sentenced to six months' immediate imprisonment and fined HK$500,000 for intentionally providing false information in his CRS (Common Reporting Standard) filings. This marks the first criminal conviction in Hong Kong for violating CRS rules. CRS 2.0 is a revision of the OECD's Common Reporting Guidelines and the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). Previously, cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum were often considered a regulatory blind spot. CRS 2.0 explicitly includes cryptocurrencies in the mandatory reporting scope, along with stablecoins, crypto derivatives, certain NFTs, central bank digital currencies, and specific electronic money products. Crypto trading platforms, custodians, and related funds are all required to fulfill KYC (Know Your Customer) obligations and report information to the tax authorities. The path of concealing wealth through crypto assets is being systematically blocked. (Caixin)
