According to NADA NEWS, the Japanese Ministry of Finance held the first meeting of the "National Debt Blockchain Research Committee" today and released explanatory materials, categorizing national debt on the blockchain into three types. Type 1 involves circulating the beneficial rights of funds (MMF) investing in national debt on the blockchain; Type 2 involves placing the transfer ledger on the blockchain under the current transfer settlement system, divided into three forms: single account management institutions, multi-institution collaboration, and interfacing with the Bank of Japan's ledger; Type 3 involves issuing a new form of national debt on the blockchain outside the current system.The Ministry of Finance believes that blockchain can enhance the efficiency of collateral and liquidity management and expand the investor base, particularly benefiting overseas investors. However, it also pointed out issues such as market fragmentation, transmission of severe price volatility, and system transformation costs. All three types are provisional categorizations, and the Ministry of Finance plans to compile a report before January 2027.

The core development team of Solana, Anza developer Jacob Creech, stated that unlike some blockchains, Solana users do not need to urgently transfer assets due to AI-accelerated password cracking or quantum computing threats. He explained that Solana uses the Ed25519 signature algorithm, where the signing key is derived from a secret seed through hashing. Even if elliptic curve cryptography is cracked in the future, attackers cannot directly recover the original seed from it.Creech mentioned that theoretically, Solana could introduce a hash-based seed ownership proof through a network upgrade, allowing original holders to verify their identity and migrate to a more secure signing scheme. Anza has developed a related proof-of-concept prototype. He also emphasized that Solana is currently still secure and has a technical roadmap to address future cryptographic threats.

IT Home cited a report from Money Today on October 8, stating that Samsung Electronics' Mobile Experience (MX) division plans to cut smartphone production, with a maximum reduction of 30% in the fourth quarter of 2026. Several IT industry insiders have indicated that Samsung's MX division has notified multiple partners to reduce product supply by 20% to 30%. IT Home noted that the original text did not specify whether this 30% is compared to the previous quarter, year-on-year, or against earlier expected production.In terms of production, Samsung Electronics originally planned to rely on new products like the Galaxy Z Fold8 to produce up to 270 million smartphones for the year. After the significant reduction in the fourth quarter, the final annual production is expected to drop to just over 200 million units, exceeding market expectations. IDC data shows that smartphone shipments in the first and second quarters of this year were 62.4 million and 62.7 million units, respectively, with previous forecasts predicting shipments of 59 million and 52 million units for the third and fourth quarters, indicating a decline of about 12% in the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter.Money Today reported that the rise in memory prices is the core driving factor behind the production cuts. TrendForce data shows that the price of 12GB low-power DRAM (LPDDR5X) for smartphones was $145 to $146 in the second quarter of this year, an increase of 175% compared to the same period last year. The report also stated that demand for artificial intelligence has driven up memory prices, with smartphone DRAM prices expected to rise by about 20% in the third quarter, reaching as high as $180. IT industry insiders stated that Samsung's current smartphone sales are no longer profitable, and the production cuts are a strategy to maintain overall profitability.

The UK HM Revenue and Customs is pushing to expand the investigative powers regarding cryptocurrency asset information, proposing to allow tax authorities to directly obtain customer data from cryptocurrency service providers and update software and electronic record inspection rules.UK cryptocurrency tax software company Recap warned that the proposed regulations have an overly broad definition of service providers, which may include non-custodial wallet software, blockchain explorers, hardware wallet manufacturers, and tax software providers. Due to the public and transparent nature of Bitcoin transaction records, once investors' names, addresses, and tax identities are associated with on-chain wallet addresses, it may expose their long-term asset activity records, increasing the risks of data breaches, extortion, and personal attacks.
