On December 11, 2025, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) received a "no-action letter" from the SEC, allowing the tokenization of custodial assets on the blockchain. Following the announcement, the industry rejoiced—assets under custody worth $99 trillion are about to be on-chain. However, behind this seemingly simple news, the deep imprint left by the paperwork crisis is beginning to surface.

When DeepSeek-R1 was released, the industry truly realized an underestimated truth — reinforcement learning is not just a supporting role in model alignment, but the core driving force throughout the evolution of AI capabilities.
From pre-training "statistical pattern recognition" to post-training "structured reasoning," and then to continuous alignment, reinforcement learning is becoming the key lever to unlock the next generation of intelligence. What's more interesting is that this mechanism naturally aligns with the decentralized incentive system of Web3 — this is not a coincidence, but a resonance between two "incentive-driven systems."
This article will delve into how the technical architecture of reinforcement learning forms a closed loop with the distributed nature of blockchain, and analyze cutting-edge projects such as Prime Intellect, Gensyn, Nous Research, Gradient, Grail, and Fraction AI.
