This freeze indicates that Tether is further taking on-chain asset freezing measures to restrict addresses deemed to be associated with high risk or suspected illegal activities.

Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon announced his resignation and is preparing to leave the AI industry. He has conducted pre-training research at OpenAI and Anthropic over the past three years. He pointed out that neither company has responsibly advanced AI and are competing to create superintelligence that can continue to enhance its own capabilities, "betting our lives on it."He switched from OpenAI to Anthropic this year because the latter places more emphasis on model safety. Coxon acknowledged that Anthropic's safety work is serious, but believes that as long as companies are racing to be the first to create AGI (artificial general intelligence that surpasses humans in a wide range of tasks), safety compromises are unavoidable, and self-discipline from a single company cannot solve the problem. His assessment of the two companies is: many people inside OpenAI still do not truly realize how great this risk is; Anthropic knows the risks but believes others are unreliable, so they must create it themselves first.Coxon stated that some AI practitioners are much more pessimistic privately than they express publicly, and are even worried that AI could destroy humanity before the end of this decade. He personally judges that in the most radical scenario, AI could go out of control by the end of next year, so such decisions should not be made solely by the engineers of a few companies.

Quantus founder and CEO Yuvi Lightman posted on X that the anti-quantum blockchain Quantus mainnet will go live on September 9 (Wednesday). The only way to acquire tokens at the launch is through mining, and liquidity and tradability will be available a few weeks later.The team has merged Immunefi security work into the public code repository and completed all fixes from the audit competition. The chain supports ML-DSA-65 and ML-DSA-87, binding each signature to its context according to FIPS 204 standards, failing and closing multi-signature transactions that cannot be decoded, and strengthening the network stack to resist denial-of-service attacks. The team has completed a full-process drill on the global rehearsal mainnet covering the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Australia, producing signed binaries through an automated pipeline, deploying multi-region bootnodes and dedicated RPC nodes as infrastructure as code, and reducing indexer memory usage from over 90% to about 26%.In addition, Quantus has launched a registration page, completed a website redesign, Keystone hardware wallet supports multiple accounts, and released CLI v2.1.3 and miner v4.0.2. Quantum & Privacy Day will be co-hosted with NEAR in Singapore on October 8, coinciding with Token2049.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen stated that last month's expansion of the U.S. Treasury bond buyback program was aimed at calming the frenzied sentiment in the bond market and pushing market prices back to equilibrium. She denied that the Treasury's buyback of government bonds was equivalent to the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, stating that the measure was similar to the Federal Reserve's past distortion operations.

Although it is inconvenient, the inflow and outflow of ETF funds are very important, so we can only keep an eye on it.

The National Assembly Budget Office of South Korea released a report stating that stablecoins could save South Korean merchants between 370 billion and 5.15 trillion Korean won (approximately 275 million to 3.8 billion USD) in payment processing fees each year. The report also warned that the widespread adoption of stablecoins could weaken banks' role as credit intermediaries and disrupt token pegs during large-scale redemptions. It suggested introducing reserve requirements, limiting stablecoin rewards, and strengthening regulation of tokens that may threaten financial stability. Regarding the issuance rights of stablecoins, there are differences between the Bank of Korea and the Financial Services Commission: the Bank of Korea prefers issuance to be dominated by bank-controlled issuers (holding at least 51%), while the Financial Services Commission believes excessive restrictions may hinder innovation. In addition, South Korea plans to expand the scope of tokenized securities by February 2027, with subsequent phases connecting blockchain-based securities markets to stablecoin payment infrastructure. A study released by the Bank of Korea earlier this month also found that directly trading USD stablecoins with local currency on Binance could depress the local currency exchange rate.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the supply ratio of long-term Bitcoin holders has significantly increased during this pullback, with many traders buying and holding for over 6 months during the dip.This is a common global behavior during bear markets or significant pullbacks, where long-term holders have much lower Bitcoin liquidity, helping to form a solid bottom support. This is a positive signal on a long-term level, slowly accumulating.

According to South Korea's "Cultural Daily," Samsung Electronics' wafer fab in Taylor, Texas, is expected to enter trial operation around the end of this month, as orders for 2-nanometer chips from Tesla, Broadcom, Arm, and others continue to pour in, with pre-production capacity nearing full load. The plant has accumulated an investment of $37 billion since 2022, with plans to begin trial operation early next month and mass production next year, with an initial monthly capacity of about 50,000 wafers, close to TSMC's approximately 80,000 wafers.The report states that the Taylor plant will produce Tesla's next-generation artificial intelligence chip AI5, Broadcom's new generation communication chips, and Arm's smart device AI chips, among others. Samsung's 2-nanometer yield has increased from about 60% earlier this year to around 80% recently. The company sent personnel for process, equipment, and yield to the plant in June, and began installing equipment in July. At a recent earnings meeting, Samsung projected that this year's 2-nanometer order volume would more than double compared to last year, and stated that NVIDIA's inference chip Grok3 began mass production last month; Samsung also recently raised the foundry price for 4-nanometer chips by up to 15%.The second Taylor plant is scheduled to start construction by the end of this year and begin mass production in 2030. Samsung has requested major partners to complete the relevant production equipment safety certifications in advance, and some partners are considering sending dozens of personnel to the local area. At the same time, Intel issued about $20 billion in new shares last month and expanded investments in 2-nanometer level 18A and 1.4-nanometer level 14A, while Japan's Rapidus completed its 2-nanometer factory in Hokkaido last month and entered the wafer trial production stage.

According to The Block, the Ethereum Foundation's protocol team has released the priority list for the Hegotá upgrade EIP, setting the target date for achieving "quantum safety" on Ethereum's layer one in terms of execution, consensus, and data to December 2029.In terms of the consensus layer, FOCIL (EIP-7805) is listed as S-level "must launch," enhancing censorship resistance by mandating the inclusion of public mempool transactions; in terms of the execution layer, Frame Transactions (EIP-8141) is also a "must launch," laying the groundwork for native account abstraction and custom signatures, gas payment, etc., by splitting transactions into programmable "frames" for validation, gas payment, and execution, thereby improving post-quantum safety readiness. The protocol team stated that starting from the "Glamsterdam" fork in Q4 2026, subsequent forks need to be completed in an average of about 7.2 months to ensure the achievement of the minimum viable post-quantum safety milestone before "Q-day" around 2030.
