According to a report by the Korean News Agency, Rick Reed, Chief Investment Officer of Global Bonds at BlackRock, stated that the scale of debt financing for the recent expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure is unprecedented, and the related bonds are more attractive than U.S. long-term government bonds. In an interview with Bloomberg Television, he mentioned that the scale of financing in the bond and stock markets is unprecedented, and this is the most attractive investment period he has ever experienced.Rick Reed focuses on high-quality bonds issued for financing GPUs, data centers, and other AI infrastructure, noting that the scale of newly issued corporate bonds is enormous, making interest rate conditions better than before. Although the yield on U.S. 10-year government bonds exceeds 5%, it has been marginalized by other market products, with government bonds being viewed more as a benchmark for measuring the stock market. Investors can purchase short-term single A-rated bonds to obtain an interest rate of about 7%, avoiding the duration risk of long-term government bonds.He also prefers secured bonds issued by high-quality companies or assets that can generate cash flow, believing that the valuations of stocks in the semiconductor and computing sectors are at reasonable levels. Reports indicate that hyperscale data center operators are issuing the largest corporate bonds in history, raising hundreds of billions of dollars, absorbing funds that would have flowed into government bonds, and becoming one of the main reasons for pushing up U.S. government bond yields. The scale of high-quality financing related to AI globally has exceeded $300 billion this year, about three times that of the entire last year.

Due to the ChainSecurity report revealing compatibility and security issues with EIP-8037 and certain smart contracts, core developers decided last week to postpone the Hoodi testnet upgrade to Glamsterdam. The issues identified so far include: the remaining Gas during transaction execution may increase, leading to underflow in some Gas counting logic and triggering rollbacks, or causing code paths that should not be executed to be triggered, making the transaction appear successful. Additionally, some contracts may underestimate usage due to the inability to correctly calculate Gas consumption during calls.ChainSecurity previously stated that 13 real cases have been identified and they are responsibly disclosing this information to the affected projects. Toni Wahrstätter mentioned that this week they will further investigate the relevant contracts and assess subsequent solutions, which may require collaboration among application developers, core developers, auditors, and node operators. In the worst-case scenario, adjustments to the protocol specifications may be necessary. He reminded application developers and auditors to check the compatibility of contracts with EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 and to report issues in a timely manner.
