The Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea stated that after investigating 16 companies (including cryptocurrency exchanges) involved in a previous security incident, it plans to implement stricter cybersecurity requirements for financial institutions. The agency noted that in an industry review covering 555 financial companies, 130 companies were found to have cybersecurity deficiencies, with approximately 100,000 pieces of customer information leaked, including names, contact details, and identification numbers.Affected companies include Streami, the operator of Gopax, and the cryptocurrency trading platform Prabang, which previously disclosed that a hacking incident on October 2 led to the leakage of some customers' personal information. The FSC indicated that it is still investigating whether these incidents involved the use of artificial intelligence or if they are related to the same group of attackers.According to the proposed reforms, larger financial institutions will undergo vulnerability assessments at least twice a year. The regulatory agency also plans to improve the information-sharing system and is considering using artificial intelligence for security monitoring of small businesses. Additionally, the FSC is considering allowing supplementary cybersecurity inspections outside of the regular assessment schedule in the event of an urgent threat to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

According to The Defiant, asset management company VanEck is seeking to withdraw its filing application for the Lido Staked Ethereum ETF. The proposed fund was originally planned to directly hold stETH and provide investors with exposure to Lido's liquid staking tokens through brokerage accounts.Reports indicate that the fund's registration never took effect, meaning this product failed to enter the formal issuance stage. Lido is the largest liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, and stETH is the liquid staking token it issues, allowing users to stake ETH while maintaining asset liquidity and earning staking rewards.

The governance voting results of the Ethereum liquid staking protocol Rocket Pool show that voters support rETH withdrawals and have decided to retain the 4 ETH bond setup while choosing to adopt a random megapool exit mechanism.Voters also postponed proposals related to on-chain governance expansion. The complete Saturn 2 upgrade plan still requires formal approval before it can take effect.

Bitcoin has retreated from around $86,000 at the beginning of October, fluctuating in the range of $81,000 to $84,000 in recent days, while the US dollar has strengthened and US Treasury yields remain high. Cloud, the chief analyst at Huobi HTX, believes that the likelihood of breaking down from the fluctuation range is greater.The ISM services price index rose to 74.0 in September, the highest since July 2022, and the one-year inflation expectation from the University of Michigan rose to 4.7% in October. The rise in price components and inflation expectations indicates that the probability of CPI exceeding expectations this Thursday is not low; if this materializes, the pricing for interest rate hikes at the end of the year will be further strengthened, and the lower bound of $81,000 will be tested first. Only if CPI is below expectations will the breakthrough of the upper bound of $84,000 have sustainability.The recent decline in chip stocks is mainly due to the repricing of AI capital expenditures and hardware profit expectations. The retracement of Bitcoin is smaller, indicating that its pricing is more aligned with macro liquidity, and its correlation with the AI narrative is weakening; however, this divergence is temporary. Once the US dollar and long-term interest rates regain dominance in pricing, the linkage will quickly strengthen, with the CPI announcement on Thursday evening serving as a recent testing window.

On October 12, Huawei held a Kirin chip technology exchange meeting in Shanghai, marking the first chip-level technical communication meeting in six years, and systematically introduced the mass production progress of logic folding. Xu Songyu, head of the semiconductor business wireless terminal chip product management department, introduced that the Kirin chip has entered the testing phase in 2027, and the test results meet expectations; since 2023, the cumulative shipment of terminal products based on the Kirin chip has exceeded 100 million.The Kirin 9050 series is the first Kirin chip built on logic folding technology. Xu Songyu explained that logic folding is not simply stacking multiple chips, but rather a systematic design from a three-dimensional perspective at the beginning of the design, treating multiple dies as a complete chip for collaborative design. This series features over 50 million hybrid bonds, with effective signal interconnections exceeding 5 million, and a transistor density increase of 53.5%. The CPU large core efficiency of the Kirin 9050 Pro has improved by 41%, and the NPU computing power has increased by 140%; the current hybrid bonding pitch is 1.5 microns, and Huawei plans to further reduce it to 1 micron by 2027.The architecture of the Kirin 9050 Pro announced at the meeting includes the new generation Lingxi CPU, Maliang GPU, and Da Vinci architecture NPU, among others. This series is aimed at Mobile Agent, adopting a collaborative architecture of a large brain and a small brain on the edge, supporting the operation of a 30B MoE large model on the edge. The new generation Lingxi CPU features a 9-core 16-thread design, with a 23% improvement in multi-core performance, and the new generation Maliang GPU has a 40% performance increase.

According to The Defiant, the decentralized lending protocol Zest Protocol deployed on Stacks announced that October 23 will be the deadline for the exit of aeUSDC in Stacks Market V1, requiring users to complete the migration of relevant positions before this date.Since Stacks Market V2 only supports the USDC-backed stablecoin USDCx issued in partnership with Circle, the migration process from V1 to V2 will not automatically transfer aeUSDC positions. Users must first withdraw aeUSDC liquidity from V1, then directly exchange aeUSDC for USDCx via Bitflow, and finally deposit USDCx back into the V2 application.Another option is to cross-chain aeUSDC from Stacks to USDC on Ethereum via Allbridge Classic, and then use Circle's cross-chain bridge to transfer USDC from Ethereum to USDCx on Stacks. The Zest application will prompt users while they still hold V1 liquidity, supporting one-click migration of positions other than aeUSDC to V2.
