Didi Chuxing, the top online ride-hailing service company, has launched a new service that allows citizens in 250 regions in China to rent motorcycles using digital yuan (e-CNY). The service is provided through Didi Qingjue, a subsidiary of Didi Chuxing, which provides a mobile app-based motorcycle sharing service. Didi Chuxing has previously enabled digital yuan payments for bicycle and ride-hailing services through its subsidiaries. Users in pilot areas can now choose e-CNY as a payment option on Didi Chuxing’s app, making it easier to rent motorcycles. Didi Chuxing is an early private sector participant in the e-CNY project, promoting the application of digital renminbi in the travel field. Adoption of e-CNY has expanded to various public transportation systems, including buses, subways, rail networks, and highway toll stations, as well as B2B solutions such as e-CNY smart contract-based supply chain financing provided by Bank of China .

Bitmain, a Bitcoin mining company, has officially launched the Antminer T21, an air-cooled Bitcoin mining machine capable of operating in high-temperature environments. Shipping is expected to begin in January 2024. The Antminer T21 features improved energy efficiency, with a power consumption of 19 Joules per terahash (J/TH) and a processing power of 190 terahash per second (TH/s). This is more energy efficient than its predecessor Bitcoin miner, the S21 Hyd, which had a power consumption of 16.0 J/TH per terahash. The Antminer T21 is compatible with the SHA256 mining algorithm, which is used for mining proof-of-work cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin SV. Bitmain has introduced a price protection program for pre-order buyers to compensate if the price of Bitcoin drops. The protection plan is valid until November 25, 2023. Bitmain’s Antminer T21 global launch event took place at the Blockchain Life 2023 forum in Dubai. Despite its success, Bitmain has faced internal challenges, including a power struggle between co-founders Jihan Wu and Ketuan Zhan. They eventually reached a settlement in 2021, with Wu Jihan resigning and selling his holdings to Zhan Ketuan for US$600 million. Recently, Bitmain has faced financial challenges, including negative operating cash flow in September 2023 and delays in paying employee salaries. Some employees reported that their performance-based September salaries were suspended and part of their base salary was deducted. Unpaid wages and year-end bonuses have not been paid in 2022 as of October 8, 2023, making the schedule for these payments uncertain.

Wu Shuo learned that the world's first ISO international standard for blockchain digital collections "Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology - DLT-based Digital Collections and Collection Management", which Ant Chain claims to be led by, has been successfully approved recently and has officially entered the ISO International Standards Development Process. Ant Chain claims to have led or participated in the formulation of 16 blockchain-related standards, and its blockchain authorized patents have ranked first in the world for many years. The establishment of this standard project will promote the development of the digital collection industry from two aspects. First, the standard will standardize the format and structure of digital collections based on blockchain to promote the compatibility and interoperability of different digital collection products. Secondly, the standard also clarifies the security requirements for digital collections such as identity authentication, asset ownership, and compliance transfer, which can effectively improve the security, tamper-proofing, and counterfeiting of digital collections.
