Web3 security platform Blockaid co-founder Ido Ben-Natan posted on the X platform that since the release of the first half report in August, the number of on-chain cybersecurity incidents has continued to reach historical highs month by month. Attackers, motivated by profit, find that attacking on-chain infrastructure offers the highest return for hackers, and this trend will become even more severe as the funds callable by AI agents increase.According to Fortune, Ben-Natan stated that the company is currently in its "busiest ever" state, one reason being the significant increase in hacker attacks. Additionally, Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik predicted that by 2028, trading cryptocurrency assets through AI agents rather than manual interface clicks will become the norm.

According to Hupzy, the current net exposure of hedge funds to the "Magnificent 7" in the U.S. stock market has risen to 22%, a record high, surpassing the peak of 21% on June 2024, and increasing by 7 percentage points since July of this year. In comparison, at the bottom of the bear market in 2022, this indicator was only 8%.The record-long positions reflect strong confidence from institutions in technology stocks, but it also means that trading may be overly crowded and does not necessarily indicate that the market will continue to rise. If the relevant investment logic changes, large-scale liquidations could trigger a sharp reversal and directly impact the perpetual contract market for the S&P 500 index; a decline in risk appetite may also further pressure Bitcoin.Additionally, the net exposure of hedge funds in the semiconductor sector is currently at 12%, slightly below the peak of 14% in June 2024, but significantly up from 2% at the beginning of 2025. Over the past three months, the increase in hedge fund exposure to the Magnificent 7 has been the largest since 2023.

MOJO founder Forest Bai commented on Opinion and YZi Labs on X. He stated that Opinion had received a batch of positive reviews in the primary market at that time, and some friends had recommended it to him, but he still believed that the project belonged to a niche direction and had nothing particularly special.He also mentioned that at that stage, he had already demystified 99.9% of primary market projects; even with luxurious teams and lavish funding, most projects merely held mediocre ideas, seeking very niche, self-indulgent markets, ultimately delivering outsourced-level products, not to mention that most projects' various elements were below mediocre levels.Regarding YZi Labs, Forest Bai stated that the institution has top-notch relationships and deep capital in the industry, but it overly believes in its ability to turn stone into gold through incubation. He acknowledged that the relevant arrangements could indeed lead to token listings and user distribution, but if the project's inherent value is limited, this is not empowerment but rather a consumption of its own resources.He further stated that successful cases of the incubator model worldwide are few and far between; any team with capability, integrity, and vision would not accept being undervalued and bound to an ecosystem through incubation.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, BitGo's CEO Mike Belshe stated in an interview on Bitcoin Magazine's BMTV that the core of tokenization is not trading, but rather expanding access.He pointed out that the current financial system can be traced back to the paper stock certificate crisis of the 1960s, when the New York Stock Exchange had to halt trading every week to complete physical stock deliveries, and the framework built to solve this problem still primarily serves large institutions.Belshe believes that the inability of retail investors to borrow against assets and the necessity to sell assets is a key reason driving the K-shaped economic divergence. He discussed how "phantom stocks" and tokenized stocks could change this situation and mentioned that long-term confidence of holders can be demonstrated through proof of reserves and setting time locks for shares.The interview also covered the new centralized risks that may arise from custodial concentration, how multi-signature and MPC can eliminate single points of failure, the aspects that still need to be supplemented in the U.S. regulatory framework beyond clarity, and the role of AI agents in asset management. Belshe also explained the true meaning behind his previous comments about the dollar going to zero.

According to official disclosures from Coinbase, it has collaborated with Microsoft and several institutions to combat the AI-driven cybercrime platform EvilTokens. This platform offers "phishing as a service" through Telegram bots, utilizing AI to analyze trust relationships and payment permissions in compromised email accounts, and bypassing multi-factor authentication through Microsoft's device code login process.The Coinbase global intelligence team tracked that between October 2025 and June 2026, EvilTokens generated approximately $1.1 million in revenue through four Tron addresses, involving over 1,000 deposits from more than 700 different addresses. The related evidence supported Microsoft's civil lawsuit, ultimately leading to the seizure of 50 websites and the deactivation of over 175 associated domain names. The Metropolitan Police Service of the United Kingdom arrested the relevant operators and seized digital devices on September 11. Coinbase stated that this incident did not result in the leakage of Coinbase accounts or credentials, but some customers were manipulated into transferring cryptocurrency to the scammers' addresses through phishing emails.

According to CoinDesk, Ripple stated that asset management companies and other commercial projects are preparing to use the Batch V1.1 feature of the XRP Ledger. This feature allows up to eight transactions to be combined into a single operation and ensures that all transactions either succeed or fail in an all-or-nothing manner, avoiding situations where one party completes settlement while the other fails.This upgrade is expected to support Delivery Versus Payment (DVP) transactions, allowing asset transfers and payments to be completed simultaneously, while also enabling exchanges, wallets, and market platforms to directly attach service fees to customer transactions for processing.RippleX Engineering Director Ayo Akinyele mentioned that some projects are already being developed around Batch, and once activated, it will bring related work closer to a production environment. Specific partners and launch times will be announced once plans are finalized. The amendment has received support from 30 of the 35 tracked validators on the XRP Ledger, exceeding the 28 votes required to enter the activation countdown. The countdown began on September 15, and if the validator support rate remains above 80% within 14 days, Batch V1.1 is expected to be activated shortly after September 29.Previously, researchers discovered serious flaws in the Batch V1 signature verification process in February, which could prematurely stop checking signatures under certain conditions, allowing attackers to unauthorizedly include transactions from other accounts. The developers subsequently withdrew the original version. Since the amendment had not yet been activated at that time, the vulnerability code did not run on the live ledger, and no funds were exposed.
