Musk Predicts 100 Billion Humanoid Robots in 20 Years

On September 23, Tesla CEO Elon Musk gave an exclusive interview to China Central Television's finance channel. Discussing robots, he envisioned a bright future where everyone could have their own personal robot. These robots could care for elderly parents, look after children, serve as one-on-one tutors for kids, and take on various jobs. In the future world, one person could control hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of physical robots and digital intelligences. 'My prediction is that there will be at least 1 billion humanoid robots in the next ten years; in the next 15 years, it may reach 10 billion; and in the next 20 years, it could reach 100 billion robots.'

  • Brazil Central Bank Requires Reporting of Transactions Over $10,000 to Self-Custody Wallets

    On September 25, Bitcoin.com reported that the Central Bank of Brazil has issued resolutions No. 588 and No. 589. Resolution No. 588 mandates that institutions authorized by the Central Bank report transactions 'transferring to or from self-custody wallets' valued at or exceeding $10,000. The relevant data will be submitted to the Financial Activities Control Council (COAF), the anti-money laundering regulatory body, which may lead to the creation of a database of self-custody addresses. Resolution No. 589 prohibits transactions with virtual asset service providers (VASPs) that are not authorized to operate in Brazil and establishes an information-sharing framework. Both resolutions will take effect on October 1, 2026, which is also the deadline for VASPs to obtain operating authorization in Brazil. The Central Bank noted that self-custody wallets are controlled by users rather than VASPs, which 'may reduce the availability of information for monitoring and risk assessment.' Increased compliance and capital requirements have impacted the market: currently, only five VASPs have submitted applications for operating licenses.
