Franklin Resources Inc (BEN) Latest News
Altman: Token-Based Pricing Becoming Obsolete as GPT-5.5 Shifts Focus to Task Completion Over Token Count
Gate News message, April 29 — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in an interview with Ben Thompson on Stratechery that token-based pricing is not a long-term viable model for AI services. Using GPT-5.5 as an example, Altman noted that while the per-token price is significantly higher than GPT-5.4, the model uses far fewer tokens to complete the same task, meaning customers do not care about token count—they only care about whether the task is completed and the total cost. "We are not a token factory; we are more like an intelligence factory," Altman said. "Customers want to buy the most intelligence for the least money. Whether the underlying work is done by a large model running few tokens or a small model running many tokens does not matter to them." He added that OpenAI's current customer base is increasingly demanding more capacity rather than negotiating prices, with far more customers saying "give us more capacity, no matter the cost" than those asking for discounts. Drawing a parallel to utilities, Altman explained that unlike water or electricity—where lower prices do not significantly increase consumption—AI demand scales differently. "As long as the price is low enough, I will keep using more. No other public utility works this way," he said. AWS CEO Matt Garman added that computing power prices have dropped by multiple orders of magnitude over the past 30 years, yet more compute is being sold today than ever before. Altman also characterized ChatGPT as "the first truly large-scale consumer product since Facebook," acknowledging that while AI was expected to disrupt search, the real wins came from ChatGPT itself and the Codex API. He noted that "Google is still underestimated in many ways."

2026-04-25 11:31Ben Pasternak Arrested for Assault at NYC Hotel Amid $54M Crypto Fraud Lawsuit Over Believe Token
Gate News message, April 25 — Ben Pasternak, the 26-year-old Australian entrepreneur behind the Solana-based SocialFi platform Believe, was arrested on April 22 and charged with second-degree strangulation and two counts of third-degree assault following an alleged physical altercation with his ex-girlfriend, YouTube personality Evelyn Ha, at the Baccarat Hotel in Manhattan on March 31. According to court documents filed by the Manhattan district attorney's office, Pasternak grabbed Ha by the neck with both hands, causing marks, redness, and difficulty breathing. He also allegedly slammed a door on her multiple times, resulting in bruises on her arms and hips. Ha, who has over 530,000 YouTube subscribers, responded on April 24, stating: "There were serious boundaries that were crossed, and I decided to move away from that relationship for the sake of my safety and my wellbeing." Pasternak pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance bail; his lawyer claimed he was acting in self-defense. Prosecutors allege Pasternak was hiding at the hotel to avoid being served in a class action lawsuit filed on March 23. The underlying crypto fraud case involves Believe, which Pasternak founded after stepping down as CEO of his previous company, Simulate (valued at $250 million in 2020). Investors Joshua Lee and Pierre Montmeas sued Pasternak, B24 Inc., and Believe Foundation in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 23, alleging he failed to disclose personal stakes in $BELIEVE tokens, missed at least 12 publicly pledged buybacks, and executed a token swap that diluted holdings by 33%. The platform traded over $6 billion in tokens before the $BELIEVE token crashed 99% to below $0.00075, leaving it with a market cap under $900,000. The lawsuit demands $54 million in compensation for unlawfully obtained revenues.
2026-04-23 22:01Bitcoin ETF Inflows Turn Positive for Year, All Flow Metrics Green for First Time in Months
Gate News message, April 23 — Bitcoin spot ETFs are gaining momentum as all flow metrics tracked by Bloomberg turned positive for the first time in months, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas. Ben Slavin, global head of ETFs at BNY Asset Servicing (which services 80% of the crypto ETF market), confirmed the shift: "Flows have turned positive for the year. That's modestly so. But they're in the green, not in the red." Cumulative one-day inflows across all 12 spot bitcoin funds exceeded $335 million as of Thursday morning, while monthly flows topped $2.1 billion. Year-to-date and three-month flows reached approximately $1.8 billion. BlackRock's IBIT, the largest spot bitcoin ETF by valuation, accounted for $246 million of single-day inflows and $1.9 billion over the past month. Most funds posted positive flows, with the notable exception of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which recorded $16 million in one-day outflows and $960 million in year-to-date net outflows. Total spot bitcoin ETF assets under management stand at approximately $125 billion, below the all-time high of $162 billion set in October 2025 when BTC traded above $120,000. Slavin attributed crypto ETF investors' resilience to their structural use in asset allocation and buy-and-hold strategies rather than tactical trading, noting that outflows during March's geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns were modest compared to inflows. Bitcoin has since resumed an uptrend after trading sideways in late January.
2026-04-14 15:52Believe Founder Faces Rug Pull Charges as DOJ Opens $40M OneCoin Victim Compensation
Gate News message, April 14 — Ben Pasternak, the 26-year-old Australian founder of Solana-based platform Believe, is facing indictment in New York federal court over an alleged rug pull scheme, while the U.S. Department of Justice has opened a compensation process for victims of the OneCoin fraud with over $40 million in forfeited assets now available. Prosecutors allege that Pasternak's platform, previously called Clout, engaged in a deceptive cycle of rug pulling by launching a series of tokens: $PASTERNAK, later rebranded as $LAUNCHCOIN, and then $BELIEVE. Civil lawsuits claim the platform processed over $6 billion in trades and extracted approximately $54 million in fees while investors suffered massive losses. The case is under review in the Southern District of New York. The DOJ's compensation program targets victims of OneCoin, a fraudulent cryptocurrency marketed as a "Bitcoin killer" that operated from Sofia, Bulgaria, between 2014 and 2019. The scheme defrauded an estimated 3.5 million people out of over $4 billion. Victims who purchased OneCoin during those years may file for compensation by the June 30, 2026 deadline. OneCoin co-founder Karl Sebastian Greenwood was sentenced to 20 years in prison, while the other co-founder, Ruja Ignatova, known as the "Cryptoqueen," remains on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list. Both cases are being handled by the Southern District of New York.
