The founder of TRON, Justin Sun, attended the TOKEN2049 main venue in Singapore, where he had a dialogue with Kevin Follonier, the founder of the podcast "When Shift Happens." They discussed personal experiences in the cryptocurrency industry, the integration of AI and blockchain, and the "Justin Sun Award." He stated that the fusion of cryptocurrency and AI Agents will be one of the most important application scenarios in the next five years; cryptocurrency, as a sustainable iterative software technology, is superior to the long-stagnant traditional banking system, and the new generation of users will be more inclined to use cryptocurrency services.TRON is building an AI economic financial network, with approximately $100 billion in assets under protocol custody, processing daily transactions of $20 billion to $30 billion, and promoting the tokenization of U.S. stocks and the AI routing platform B.AI. Recently, Justin Sun launched the "Justin Sun Award" to more frequently reward contributors in the fields of mathematics and AI, with a maximum single question prize of $1 million, and he stated that the achievements in cryptocurrency will be returned to science, further benefiting ecological development.

According to Defimon Alerts monitoring, 79thVault on the BNB Chain may have lost approximately 12.5 million dollars due to a private key leak. The team usually operates hot wallets for small transfers to the reward pool, but recently this address transferred 2.01 million 79AU to external addresses in 7 transactions, with amounts of 10,000, 100,000, 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, 500,000, and 500,000 coins respectively.The attacker exchanged back to the same trading pair in about 95 transactions, causing the USDT reserves in the pool to drop from 15.2 million dollars to 3.9 million dollars, and cashed out 16,249 BNB, approximately 12.5 million dollars. Additionally, the operational key transferred 3.79 BNB to the same external address, and another 500,000 79AU was transferred to other addresses.

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.

According to Bits media, the government of Kyrgyzstan has decided to terminate the operation of the national stablecoin Gold Dollar (USDKG) and has requested the Ministry of Finance to liquidate its issuer EVA and the country's first state-owned cryptocurrency exchange Coin Nomad Exchange.This stablecoin was launched by the authorities in November 2025, initially positioned as the world's first state-issued stablecoin backed by physical gold and pegged 1:1 to the US dollar. The issuer was the state-owned company "Virtual Asset Issuer," fully owned by the Ministry of Finance of Kyrgyzstan (later renamed "EVA"), with a registered issuance volume slightly exceeding 50 million tokens. The token operates on the Tron blockchain. The authorities had positioned it as a cross-border settlement tool and planned to operate it at least until 2034.

On September 29, the Orca community released a token holder proposal to adjust the protocol fee distribution to 10% flowing into the xORCA pool, 10% allocated to the team's buyback account, and 80% for team operations. The proposal also plans to transfer approximately 14.2 million ORCA from the community treasury and about 70,000 SOL from the fee treasury to a team-controlled account, and to dissolve the council, shifting to pure token holder governance.The original distribution was 20% xORCA, 30% fee treasury, and 50% team, later adjusted to 40% / 10% / 50%. The team stated that they have negotiated the acquisition of a leading Solana DeFi protocol, which is expected to bring about a 50% increase in TVL. Voting requires 3 million yes votes, with a voting period of 5 days, and the council can veto with 4 votes. Risks include concentration of control and reduced xORCA yields, with the team committing to disclose buyback and strategic account deployment status every six months.

AMD Chairwoman and CEO Lisa Su arrived at Samsung Electronics' Seocho office building in Seoul at around 4:44 PM on October 7, meeting with Vice Chairman Choi Yong-hyun, head of the Device Solutions Division, approximately seven months after her last visit to South Korea. Jack Huynh, head of AMD's Computing and Graphics Group, and Vice President Joseph Macri accompanied her. Lisa Su stated that both sides would discuss a broader partnership and mentioned that Samsung has many partners; when asked if she would meet with Lee Jae-yong, she said it was inconvenient to disclose.Before visiting Samsung, Lisa Su attended AMD Player Day in Seoul, referring to Samsung and SK Hynix as core supply chain partners and stating that they are planning a long-term supply chain due to rising demand for artificial intelligence. She mentioned that the next-generation MI455 and Helios systems have begun shipping and both use HBM4, supported by two companies, and that the HBM collaboration will not stop at one generation. Reports indicate that the Instinct MI455X features 432GB of HBM4, an increase of 50% compared to the previous generation MI355X's 288GB of HBM3E. She noted that memory supply is very tight and that they are optimizing usage with customers and asking partners to expand production. TrendForce predicted on the 29th of last month that the limited advanced process capacity shared between HBM and regular DRAM may continue to lead to tight supply into next year.Reports state that both parties signed a memorandum of understanding in March this year centered on the supply of HBM4 and next-generation DDR5, designating Samsung as the main supplier of HBM4 for the MI455X and discussing Samsung's contract manufacturing of AMD's next-generation products. Choi Yong-hyun stated at that time that Samsung can provide memory, foundry, and packaging simultaneously.

Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 on Wednesday, claiming it to be the company's cheapest, fastest, and most capable small model to date. This model is designed for high-volume tasks such as document summarization and database queries, as well as speed-sensitive scenarios like real-time customer service and browser automation. When developers integrate it into their own products, prompts of up to 100,000 tokens are charged at $0.1 per million input tokens and $0.5 per million output tokens, consistent with the pricing of OpenAI's competing small model GPT-6 Luna released on September 22.The corresponding prices for Haiku 4.5 are $1 and $5, with the new prices being 90% lower, and prompts exceeding 100,000 tokens receiving a 50% discount. Since about 90% of requests for the old model fall below this threshold, and Haiku 5.5 has a slightly higher token count, Anthropic estimates an average savings of about 75%. Benchmark tests show that Haiku 5.5 achieved a success rate of 72.4% on OSWorld 2.1, higher than GPT Luna's 48.9%; on Terminal-Bench 4, it scored 39.2%, surpassing Luna's 16.4% and Haiku 4.5's 0%, but lower than Sonnet 5.5's 70.6%.This is the first Haiku model with adjustable effort settings, allowing users to balance cost and answer quality.

Microsoft executives stated that the RTX Spark device equipped with NVIDIA chips is faster than Apple's fastest chips in generating images.

Polymarket's CEO Shayne Coplan stated during a fireside chat at the Token2049 conference in Singapore that cryptocurrency trading is evolving into a game of "irrational exuberance," where traders compete to be the first to find the next hundredfold token. He pointed out that people think they are buying something valuable, but in reality, it is worthless; however, as long as there is a possibility of it rising to 100 times, they want to sell before it goes to zero. Coplan mentioned that some traders can gain considerable wealth through this strategy, but it is essentially a game of "irrational exuberance and hot potato," where rising asset prices will eventually fall back.Coplan indicated that the continuous growth of Polymarket's user base shows that some traders are looking for betting opportunities with more predictable odds, rather than the next skyrocketing cryptocurrency. He explained that trading these markets on Polymarket does not have exponential upside potential, but informed traders will continue to place bets on future events with more predictable odds. According to data from DefiLlama, Polymarket is the second-largest prediction market, with a trading volume of $1.21 billion in the past seven days, while the largest market, Kalshi, had $2.3 billion.The growth of prediction markets has also attracted more attention from U.S. regulators. It was reported that JPMorgan terminated its banking relationship with Polymarket on August 14 due to regulatory concerns but expressed interest in acting as an underwriter if Polymarket seeks to go public.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that after excluding Bitcoin that has not moved for over 10 years, the proportion of BTC supply in profit has remained around 60% since August.The analysis pointed out that from a mid to long-term perspective, most of the current BTC in the market has returned to a profitable state and has not yet reached overheating levels, making continued consolidation around this level a reasonable phenomenon. The analysis believes that tokens that have not moved for over 10 years are deeply profitable and are considered to lack liquidity, with a significant portion likely lost. Excluding these can more accurately reflect the current market situation. The current proportion in profit prompts investors to reassess whether to continue holding or to take profits on positions held for nearly a year or exit with limited losses, with supply and demand dynamics determining the subsequent trend.

At the TOKEN2049 event in Singapore, OKX founder and CEO Star stated that AI's impact on the financial industry is not only occurring at the user level but is also deeply penetrating backend operations such as compliance and risk control. OKX has utilized AI to assist in identifying risks, supporting investigations of suspicious transactions and behaviors, and providing recommendations to enhance processing efficiency and execution consistency. Currently, AI does not make compliance or risk management decisions directly; the final decisions are still made by humans.On-site, OKX board member and former Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo also added that clear regulatory rules are an important foundation for fintech companies to expand their services. To provide financial services to a broader user base, companies must comply with regulatory requirements and establish public trust through compliant operations.

Coinbase stated at the Token2049 event in Singapore that its U.S. regulated futures commission merchant, Coinbase Financial Markets, will soon connect eligible U.S. customers to global crypto derivatives liquidity, marking the first time in market history that the U.S. is linked to the international derivatives market as a single liquidity pool.Coinbase indicated that the guidance released by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission in May allows Coinbase Financial Markets to connect U.S. customers with the global crypto derivatives market, enabling U.S. institutional clients to access options and perpetual contracts that previously required offshore entities and multiple counterparties to use in a regulated manner. Qualified traders outside the U.S. will gain access to options trading in the coming weeks, while U.S. retail traders are expected to open later this year.
