PANews reported on March 6th that, according to The Block, the Federal Reserve released a Q&A document clarifying that banks should treat tokenized securities according to existing capital rules, emphasizing that the existing framework is "technology-neutral." The Fed stated that the technology used to issue or transfer securities (including blockchain technology) will not affect its regulatory capital treatment, and eligible tokenized securities should be treated under the same rules as non-tokenized securities. Tokenized securities can be used as financial collateral if they meet the same legal and risk management requirements as traditional securities. The Fed added that capital rules do not provide differential treatment regardless of whether permissioned or permissionless blockchains are used. This move follows the SEC's clarification in January that tokenized securities must still comply with federal securities laws, providing further guidance from regulators on the on-chain application of traditional assets.
PANews reported on March 6th that OpenAI officially launched GPT-5.4, claiming it to be the most factual and efficient model available—fewer tokens, faster speed. In ChatGPT, GPT-5.4's thinking has been improved for deep web research, with better context preservation during long-term thought processes—users can now interrupt the model's response to add instructions or adjust its direction. The guided feature is available on Android and web this week, with an iOS version coming soon. OpenAI developers say GPT-5.4 possesses native computing capabilities. Codex and API support up to 1 million context tags, enabling optimal proxy coding for complex tasks, providing scalable tool search across a larger ecosystem, and enabling more efficient inference for long, tool-intensive workflows.
PANews reported on March 6th, citing Axios, that President Trump stated in an interview on Thursday that he needs to be personally involved in choosing Iran's next leader, just as he did in Venezuela. Trump acknowledged that Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the assassinated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, is the most likely successor, but also made it clear that he considers this outcome unacceptable. For several days, the Iranian regime has delayed announcing its successor. However, statements from Iranian political figures on Thursday suggested that an announcement may be imminent. Trump said, "They're wasting their time. Khamenei's son is an insignificant person. I have to be involved in the appointment process, just as I did with Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela." He added that he rejects any new Iranian leader who would continue Khamenei's policies, which would force the United States to return to war "within five years."
PANews reported on March 6th, citing NBC News, that Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi stated in an interview on Thursday that Iran is prepared to respond to a US ground invasion as the war between Iran, the US, and Israel rapidly spreads throughout the region. Araqchi rejected any negotiations with the US and stated that Iran has not demanded a ceasefire. When asked if he was worried about a possible US ground invasion, Araqchi's tone was firm and provocative. "No, we are waiting for them," he added, "because we are confident we can confront them, and that would be a catastrophe for them." Araqchi also stated that despite the US and Israel launching attacks across Iran, Iran has not demanded a ceasefire. "Even last time, we did not demand a ceasefire. Last time, it was Israel that demanded a ceasefire. After 12 days of resisting their aggression, they demanded an unconditional ceasefire."
