Recently, TRON founder Justin Sun shared his views on personal assets outside of TRON during a 3.5-hour offline discussion with Jin Ming. The core configuration points are as follows:BTC: As a base asset, there has been no reduction in holdings over the past year. Although concerned about the impact of quantum computing and AI algorithms, believing the market has not fully priced in the related risks, he still insists on holding and has adopted a cold wallet sheltering mode for isolation.ETH: Reduced holdings by about 80%-90% in the $3600-$4000 range last year, currently retaining only about 20% of the base asset for observation, and has not repurchased. Most of the funds from the reduction have been transferred to U.S. stocks.NVIDIA: Main position in U.S. stocks, positioned as a base asset in the AI field, heavily invested and not reduced.NASDAQ 100: Heavily held. Slightly bearish in the medium term (due to capital clustering, high interest rates, etc.), but no short positions taken, and the position is retained.A-shares: No holdings. Overall bearish on traditional assets, more inclined towards AI applications and Web3 directions.In the interview, Justin Sun emphasized that ETH is an aggressive asset, BTC is a base asset, and he is optimistic about applications in AI health management, while being bearish on certain hardware sectors. The above is a summary of the interview points, not a complete balance sheet.

According to CoinDesk, Paul Atkins, the chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), issued a statement on October 13, approving the rule change submitted by Cboe Global Markets. This change allows binary options linked to the key performance indicators (KPI) of 23 publicly listed companies in the United States. The metrics related to the cryptocurrency industry include: trading volume of Coinbase (COIN), number of customers and revenue of Robinhood (HOOD), and Bitcoin production of MARA Holdings (MARA).These contracts are cash-settled, European-style options that can only be exercised at expiration. The settlement data is derived from documents submitted by the companies to the SEC, rather than from earnings presentation materials. Cboe plans to launch these contracts this month, and Robinhood is expected to be the first brokerage to offer this product to retail investors. However, trading will not begin until the clearing agency Cboe Clear U.S. obtains temporary registration, and another related application is still under review.

Their listing and trading methods will be largely similar to existing standardized non-binary options and will be subject to the exchange's rules regarding customer accounts, margin, trading halts, auction mechanisms, market maker designations and quoting obligations, order types, validity periods, and order instructions.The approval order only covers the aforementioned specific binary option contracts traded on exchanges that comply with securities law and the listing and trading of standardized securities options, and does not involve similar products that are based on the same KPIs but have different structures.

Cryptocurrency trading platform Coinbase announced its participation in Tech Against Scams and is collaborating with the UK's National Crime Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice Scam Center Strike Force, and international law enforcement partners to launch a joint crackdown week in London from October 6 to 9, sharing intelligence in real-time and coordinating actions against West African criminal scam networks.Coinbase stated that the relevant scam networks operate across platforms, seeking potential victims through social media, establishing trust via instant messaging, and using digital infrastructure and financial services to transfer illicit funds. As law enforcement and the industry intensify their crackdown on Southeast Asian scam hubs, criminal networks are expanding to other regions, including West Africa. This operation is hosted by the UK's National Crime Agency, bringing together technology, telecommunications, and financial companies to target the infrastructure, accounts, and payment systems that support scams.Coinbase Vice President Leah Bressack: The earlier crackdown on Southeast Asian scam hubs this year proved that coordinated actions between the industry and law enforcement are effective; as criminal networks attempt to rebuild in Africa, Coinbase's global intelligence team is tracking funds, freezing assets, and sharing intelligence in real-time. The tactics targeted include fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scams, impersonating law enforcement officials, and using fake video calls to carry out "arrests" to pressure transfers. Coinbase stated it will continue to collaborate with Tech Against Scams and law enforcement partners.

David Haber, a general partner at a16z, stated that long-cycle intelligent agents can now progress towards goals across dozens of steps and various interaction methods over weeks to months. He noted that AI previously handled short tasks with clear boundaries, where customer service was implemented earlier due to verifiable results and edge cases manageable by humans; now, intelligent agents can guide insurance clients from the initial call to payout, mortgage clients from pre-approval to closing, and business leads from demonstration to signing, gaining returns based on revenue growth rather than just cost savings.He used the example of plaintiff lawyers preparing cases, stating that the process resembles a relay race, where value can easily be lost at handoff points. Potential clients often contact multiple law firms simultaneously, and slow responses or evaluations can lead to loss; after signing, evidence collection is limited by manpower, and firms may not follow up with witnesses who did not answer the fifth call, making it difficult to review low-value cases item by item. Missing bills or unexplained treatment gaps can also lower settlement amounts. Long-cycle intelligent agents can assess in real-time around the clock, utilizing sub-agents to advance evidence collection and client updates via phone, email, or text, while maintaining complete records from call logs to medical records.Haber proposed three commercialization paths: selling platforms to existing teams, taking over outsourced services, or vertically integrating as a full-stack service provider, such as purchasing debt portfolios and completing collections. He mentioned that most states in the U.S. prohibit non-lawyers from sharing attorney fees, so the plaintiff legal scenario needs to align pricing with settlement amounts but cannot directly share profits.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase stated that its custody holds about 5% of the total existing Bitcoin and urged Bitcoin developers to immediately address the threat of quantum computing. Coinbase pointed out that changes to Bitcoin consensus and ecological migration may take years and cannot wait until quantum computers capable of breaking signatures appear.Coinbase suggested adopting a flexible "container" design similar to BIP-360 to gradually replace quantum-resistant signature systems; it also proposed a phased implementation of a "1-of-2" scheme, allowing the same funds to be spent during the transition period using either traditional keys or quantum-resistant keys. This scheme also needs to be compatible with multi-party computation (MPC) key splitting mechanisms. Coinbase stated that dormant, lost, and Bitcoin held from the Satoshi era are separate governance issues, and any rescue mechanism itself must also possess quantum resistance. In January of this year, Coinbase established a quantum advisory council; in July, it joined the Bitcoin Security Alliance with BlackRock and Strategy, committing a total of $15 million for Bitcoin's quantum-resistant transformation.

According to CoinDesk, Nasdaq-listed fintech company Perpetuals.com plans to offer tokenized trading services for U.S. stocks based on the innovative exemption mechanism introduced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The related trading could potentially start in mid-November, but the company still needs to complete technical and compliance preparations.

The XRPN stock price has remained relatively flat since opening at $16.68 on Monday, closing at $16.48 on Tuesday, and slightly rising to $16.6 in after-hours trading.
