Silicon Valley angel investor Liron Shapira posted on X this morning, stating: "I assert (with 50% confidence): due to AI shaking the security and stability guarantees that people once believed Bitcoin had, the price of BTC will plummet more than 50% within the next two years."Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin rebutted this, saying: "I hold the completely opposite view. My fundamental reason is that, in the long run, I am quite optimistic about network security, and I believe the main challenge is how to smoothly transition through the transition period. Moreover, I believe BTC can at least properly handle all issues that do not require social consensus to resolve (for example, upgrading clients, mining pools, etc., to deal with network layer attacks fall into this category). Additionally, I believe the probability of hash algorithms or proof-of-work mechanisms being truly compromised is extremely low. I wanted to make a bet with you, but considering my current asset allocation (I guess you have the same view on Ethereum ETH), I have already staked about 90% of my wealth on this bet."

In the past 24 hours, Fomo has surpassed Pump.fun to become the highest-grossing protocol on the Solana chain.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a certain whale deposited 620,420 LINK (approximately 7.6 million USD) into Coinbase.In the past three weeks, this whale has cumulatively deposited 2,410,000 LINK (approximately 26.04 million USD) into Coinbase, all of which previously came from Binance.

Galaxy Research published that the attackers in the Coldcard "Wave 3" attack are still continuously transferring the stolen funds. During this phase, the attackers created 293 2-of-2 multi-signature wallets for each victim's assets. The first batch of funds was transferred across chains to Ethereum via THORChain; the latest round of transfers has begun entering the CoinJoin mixing process.Currently, the Wave 3 attackers are processing the largest amounts of stolen funds in order of the stolen amount, having sequentially transferred the funds from wallets ranked 1 to 11. The next 10 wallets that have not yet been transferred hold a total of 30.81 BTC, while wallets ranked 61 to 293 hold a total of 33.77 BTC. So far, the attackers have transferred about 45% of the stolen assets from this exploit, with funds flowing to Ethereum (via THORChain) or entering CoinJoin mixing transactions. Additionally, this fund transfer has revealed a previously unknown wallet: 58 addresses jointly spent in a 2-of-2 multi-signature format identical to that of Wave 3, and these were further transferred by the Wave 3 attackers to a jump address that funds CoinJoin.The on-chain analysis team currently marks this wallet as "cause = open," but believes it likely also belongs to Coldcard victims, which means the number of wallets involved in Wave 3 may increase to 294, raising the previously reported total amount stolen from the Coldcard vulnerability to approximately 1806 BTC. Currently, about 82% of the stolen BTC remains in addresses initially controlled by the attackers, while about 18% has been transferred, with the flow of funds indicating that it may be undergoing laundering processes.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, two wallets suspected to be related to the Ethena project (0x2993...7383, 0x969f...16aF) have transferred a total of 6.75 million USD worth of ENA to exchanges since September 3, and have deposited 19 million ENA, approximately 3.29 million USD, to Bybit in the past 15 hours.Both addresses received tokens transferred from the Ethena multi-signature address two years ago, and no transfers occurred since then, with recent price increases prompting bulk deposits.

Figure co-founder and Executive Chairman Mike Cagney tweeted that DeFi is more suitable for asset-backed finance (ABF), which can avoid double pledging, directly improve collateral, self-custody or autonomous venues, and liquidity collateral. He believes that Figure has brought ABF on-chain, but overall it is still in the early stages, with approximately $60 trillion of the market yet to migrate on a large scale.He also listed five reasons why traditional finance has been slow to enter on-chain applications: poor interface experience, which has allowed applications like Robinhood and SoFi to win on the retail side; the long-term difficulty of achieving qualified custody and recoverable self-custody; hedge funds and others requiring multiple wallets, multiple users, tiered permissions, and complete audits to be exported to fund administration and accounting; regulation is being streamlined, and the precedent for on-chain native securities is becoming clearer, with hopes for the CLARITY Act and guidelines; and KYC issues are easier to resolve than the outside world thinks, as on-chain programmatic screening and wallet-level permissions can be implemented.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi's monitoring, gnomelabs.eth (0xB81...5bfD) is suspected to have taken profits of 4020 ETH. @gnome_labs previously withdrew 6339 ETH from Binance on August 17 at an average price of $1896.83, worth approximately $12.02 million; 9 hours ago, 4020 ETH of that was recharged, worth about $9.97 million, with a recharge price of $2480.If sold, the return rate would reach 30.7%, with an expected profit of $2.345 million after holding for 21 days.

OpenAI Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki published an article titled "An Alien Mind" on September 6, 2026. The article reviews the results of the RLSlow research project, which emerged in mid-2023, demonstrating the first scalable training of reasoning models. It states that three years later, reasoning language models have become part of rapid economic growth, beginning to push scientific boundaries, capable of operating computers and graphical interfaces, collaborating with humans and other AIs on research projects, while also changing the landscape of computer security and introducing new dangers.The author anticipates that the current pace of progress may continue towards recursive self-improvement based on internal results. If AI development continues along the current path, systems may experience equivalent or greater leaps in capability in the coming years, increasingly driving their own development. The author calls for extreme caution, believing that no one is prepared to deal with the consequences of the rapid rise of machine intelligence. OpenAI will continue to seek technical solutions for alignment and monitoring, build defensive systems, and unilaterally halt further scaling when necessary, but believes broader intervention is needed.The article states that machine intelligence is primarily driven by increased computational power, with AI growing more than being designed. In terms of alignment, it distinguishes between goal alignment and value alignment, with the core challenge being generalization. GPT-6 Astra shows significantly better alignment than GPT-5.6 Sol, but more progress is still needed. In monitoring, the focus is mainly on chain-of-thought monitoring, with assessments showing that reliance on capabilities is gradually weakening. In terms of scalable defense, models are becoming superhuman in breaking into computer systems, currently in a narrow window where using the best available models significantly enhances the security of critical systems.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), a whale address holding approximately 4.5 million dollars (0x2Ae...a78Ae) has recently adjusted its positions: it cleared 156,452 UNI (worth 1.077 million dollars), realizing a profit of 86,000 dollars; it increased its position by 402,000 PONS (worth 342,000 dollars), raising the total holdings to 3.63 million (approximately 2.99 million dollars); and it established a new position of 355,175 FORM, worth 94,000 dollars.Currently, the holdings of $AAVE and $CASHCAT remain unchanged, with the total holdings of the four major tokens reaching 4.46 million dollars.

Vitalik recently updated EIP-8141 "Frame Transaction" proposal, with core improvements including atomic batch execution of up to 64 operations, social recovery (similar to Google account recovery, without the need for a mnemonic phrase), P256 quantum-resistant signatures, and the ability for anyone to pay gas fees for users, significantly enhancing the usability of Ethereum wallets.It is reported that the improvement proposal was co-authored by Vitalik, lightclient, and 10 other experts, and is planned to be included in the 2027 Hegotá upgrade, marking a significant native implementation of Ethereum account abstraction.

According to Coinalyze data, the open interest of altcoins has surpassed that of Bitcoin for the first time in over a year.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that GPT-6 Astra was trained using over 100,000 NVIDIA Grace Blackwell NVLink72 chips. It took only 4 years from ChatGPT to o1, and then to Astra. AGI has arrived. Congratulations to the OpenAI team.

According to Bitcoin News monitoring, of the 4,200 BTC associated with a peg-out transaction on the Liquid Network, about 4,000 seem to have been transferred simultaneously.A message attached to the subsequent transaction via OP_RETURN states: "We are white hats, please contact us on-chain." The nature of this transaction and whether these funds were transferred through an exploit remains unclear.

Router Protocol, a cross-chain infrastructure project supported by Coinbase Ventures, announced that it will cease all operations by September 30 and plans to permanently destroy 303,333,198 ROUTE tokens held in its treasury, accounting for about 30% of the total supply of nearly 1 billion tokens. The team released a statement on X, stating that over the past year, they attempted commercialization, licensing, and acquisition negotiations, but failed to achieve sustainable operational results.Router identified the flow of funds from the cryptocurrency sector to artificial intelligence and the decline in cross-chain asset transfer fees as core challenges facing its operations. As activities concentrated on fewer networks and standardized infrastructure, the demand for its services has decreased. The team noted that bridging economic profits are thin, fees have been compressed, and costs have never stopped. As part of the closure, Router will negotiate with centralized exchanges to stop supporting ROUTE tokens, and the delisting arrangements and withdrawal processes may vary across exchanges.Router raised $4.1 million from investors including Coinbase Ventures and Polygon in 2021 and launched the proof-of-stake Layer 1 blockchain Router Chain in July 2024, but it was shut down in September 2025 due to infrastructure costs, validator expansion, and security risks. The team also disclosed two security incidents in 2025: in February, approximately 80% of the value was recovered through negotiations after a vulnerability incident, while losses from a chain-level vulnerability in July could not be recovered.

WOO X has issued a statement regarding user withdrawal anomalies, indicating that it has noted reports concerning withdrawal processing times and is reviewing relevant cases and system status. Some requests may still be under review or in the on-chain processing stage, and the team is working hard to resolve the issues as soon as possible.Users experiencing withdrawal delays can submit their UID, withdrawal order number, application time, asset and network information, as well as status screenshots through official customer service channels. The platform reminds users not to trust unsolicited private messages and not to share passwords, mnemonic phrases, private keys, or verification codes.WOO X also stated that it reserves the right to take legal action against behaviors that fabricate, distort, or maliciously spread false information that harms the reputation of users or the platform, and reminds users to rely only on information from official announcements and customer service channels.

Co-founder of Arbitrum Steven Goldfeder and co-founder of Solana Toly engaged in a debate over on-chain transaction fees, MEV protection, and the single sequencer model.Steven stated that one cannot simply compare surface-level fees. Arbitrum One and Robinhood Chain actively prevent front-running and most harmful MEV, while some chains that claim lower fees have higher MEV costs, including front-running against retail investors. He expressed a preference for paying clear fees upfront rather than incurring hidden losses from front-running, sandwich attacks, and other issues for the sake of lower fees.Toly countered that Arbitrum currently has a less favorable bid-ask spread and higher fees. The 10% cut taken from transaction fees alone translates to a cost in basis points that exceeds the loss rate from sandwich attacks, which he estimates to be about 10 times that of the latter, not accounting for the impact of the spread. He emphasized, "A single sequencer that pursues shareholder value maximization can never outperform permissionless competition."

According to DefiLlama data, Pons and Fomo generated approximately $1.85 million and $1.77 million in revenue over the past 24 hours, both exceeding Hyperliquid's approximately $866,500.Currently, Pons and Fomo rank fifth and sixth respectively in the cryptocurrency protocol revenue chart, while Hyperliquid ranks ninth.

According to monitoring by TradingBeats, as HYPE broke through $88, the largest HYPE long address on Hyperliquid, 0x082e...ca88, currently holds approximately 1.38 million HYPE long positions, with a position value of about $12.2 million, an average opening price of $38.68, and current floating profits of about $6.862 million, using 5x full leverage.This address opened approximately $40 million in HYPE long positions with 5x leverage about 5 hours before Robinhood announced the launch of HYPE spot trading on October 23, 2025. Due to the precise timing of the large entry, the community suspected there was non-public information, hence it was referred to as the "HYPE listing insider whale."From December 5 to 6 of the same year, this address continued to increase its position by about 93,500 HYPE in the $31 to $32 range, ultimately raising the current holdings to about 1.38 million, and has held the contract position until now. This address has currently paid $5.42 million in funding fees for its long positions.
