Canton Strategic Holdings, a Nasdaq-listed company, announced plans to tokenize its common stock on the Canton Network, with trading set to begin as early as November 2. The company, formerly a biotechnology firm Tharimmune, is collaborating with the tokenized securities trading venue TSV LLC and the transfer agent Fairmint, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), to put its shares on the blockchain. The tokenized stock will enjoy the same shareholder rights as Nasdaq-listed stocks.The stock ticker is CNTN, and according to Yahoo Finance data, its average daily trading volume is approximately 757,704 shares, with the latest stock price around $2.13, up over 4.5% on the day, giving it a market capitalization of about $170 million. The tokenized stock will be traded around the clock through automated market makers and will settle instantly on the Canton Network, with Fairmint responsible for maintaining ownership records and overseeing compliance with share transfer requirements.This plan follows the SEC's introduction of an innovative exemption mechanism in September, which related companies claim provides a regulatory pathway for trading tokenized U.S. stocks on domestic platforms. Canton Strategic Holdings transitioned into the digital asset space in November 2025, raising $545 million to develop its business around Canton Coin, and rebranded in February of this year. It currently holds the token, participates in the operation of the Canton Network, and invests in ecological projects. The company is not the developer of the Canton Network, Digital Asset, but has connections through investments and participation in network governance with the Canton Foundation.

According to Bitcoin.com, research by the quantum computing company Alice & Bob estimates that a fault-tolerant quantum computer with approximately 29,588 physical qubits could solve the 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography problem used by Bitcoin in about 61.8 minutes. This problem underpins the digital signatures used for Bitcoin transaction authorization, and the research results are theoretical resource estimates, not indicative of the current capabilities of existing quantum computers to break encryption.The research also estimates that 22,593 physical qubits could break RSA-2048 encryption in about 3.14 days. The relevant calculations utilize cat qubits technology aimed at reducing quantum errors, combined with more efficient error-correcting codes and improvements to Shor's algorithm.If a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive private keys from publicly available public keys, the associated Bitcoins could face risks of unauthorized signatures and asset theft. The estimated breaking time is still longer than Bitcoin's average block interval of about 10 minutes; approximately 6.9 million Bitcoins may be at risk due to the corresponding public keys being publicly available.

The Canton Foundation has approved a grant of nearly 15.8 million Canton Coins to the blockchain oracle provider RedStone, equivalent to approximately 1.55 million USD at the time, for the development of the open-source pricing tool Canton Access and Privacy Standard (CAPS) aimed at institutional clients. This standard is designed to allow institutions to use shared market prices for transaction valuation while not disclosing their agreed settlement amounts to data providers.According to the plan announced on Thursday, RedStone will release reference prices that can be used to calculate transaction values, with initial development covering tokenized funds, private market assets, and structured products. The pricing calculation and authorization module will be released under the Apache 2 open-source license, allowing other data providers to adjust and use it. Viv Diwakar, head of the Canton Foundation, stated that supporting open-source initiatives like CAPS helps establish a shared privacy and authorization framework, enabling multiple data providers to serve the network.RedStone has been providing pricing data for Canton since December 2025 and collaborates with ecosystem participants such as Temple Digital Group. Canton Network previously disclosed that it has connected with over 600 institutions, including Goldman Sachs, DTCC, Bank of New York Mellon, and Franklin Templeton, with a monthly transaction processing volume of approximately 9 trillion USD. CoinGecko data shows that the CC token price is about 0.0979 USD, with a market capitalization of 3.91 billion USD and a trading volume of 23.23 million USD in the past 24 hours.

New York Governor Hochul officially signed a new bill on Wednesday, prohibiting minors from using artificial intelligence chatbots with virtual companion attributes. This is one of the most comprehensive regulatory measures in the United States regarding consumer-grade AI models to date. The bill requires relevant operators, including ChatGPT under OpenAI, to implement reasonable age verification measures, prohibiting the provision of high-risk chatbot features listed in the bill to users under 18 or those whose adulthood has not yet been confirmed.According to the bill, the relevant chatbots are not allowed to output content that may mislead minors into believing they possess life, human attributes, or real emotions. They must not induce adolescents to have the illusion of a mutual emotional, professional consulting, or authoritative guidance relationship, nor can they package generated content as personal opinions. The system is also prohibited from retaining sensitive privacy data related to the mental and physical health of minors. Hochul stated at the signing ceremony that the core goal of the legislation is to sever the emotional binding chain of AI impersonating minors' "friends" or "lovers," protecting the mental and physical health of young people.The children's media advocacy organization Common Sense Media expressed support for the bill, calling it the strictest children's AI safety law in the United States. The tech industry has strongly pushed back, criticizing the overly broad definitions of the provisions and emphasizing that minors should not be deprived of access to cutting-edge learning tools. As of now, companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have not publicly responded to this.

OpenAI documentation shows that eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business subscriptions can receive free API credits for building applications and agents within their own API organization. The credits are automatically issued based on the subscription, and any unused portion expires at the end of the billing cycle without carrying over; when there are valid free credits, there is no need to bind an API payment method. In terms of monthly credits, Pro's tiers of $100, $200, and $500 correspond to $100, $200, and $500 respectively; Business Standard provides $20 per paid seat, and Business Premium provides $100 per paid seat.The initial issuance is calculated proportionally based on the remaining time in the current subscription billing cycle and expires at the end of that cycle. Business API credits are shared within the workspace, with a monthly cap of $500; annual payment workspaces receive a one-time issuance of the annual credits, which expire at the end of the annual billing cycle. Users must log in to ChatGPT with an eligible subscription account, with Pro credits claimed in Settings under Billing, and Business credits claimed in the workspace billing settings or Admin Console, confirming the API organization receiving the credits.The credits cover the paid usage of associated organizations on the API Platform, including Responses API, Agents API, Decisions API, GPT-Live and Realtime API, Images API, as well as built-in tools and related costs such as web search, document search, and Code Interpreter. Using Codex via API key is not included in the benefits, and the credits will not increase the usage limits for ChatGPT or Codex that is already logged in. Free credits are prioritized over purchased credits; when exhausted and no remaining credits are available, requests will fail with HTTP 429 and error code credit_balance_exhausted.

According to Bloomberg, Anthropic warned in its IPO-related documents that its public advocacy for AI safety regulation and statements from executives may expose the company to risks such as pressure from the Trump administration and selective scrutiny. This risk is related to the company's multiple conflicts with the Trump administration, including disputes over requests to impose safety restrictions on the use of its AI technology by the Department of Defense, as well as disagreements regarding the safety of the Mythos model and export controls.Anthropic also warned that even if other similarly situated companies are not treated equally, Anthropic may still become a specific target for certain departments of the Trump administration. Future export restrictions and cybersecurity or biosafety incidents triggered by AI models could impact its product deployment, international expansion, and business growth.The company also acknowledged that once the regulatory measures it advocates are implemented, they may increase compliance costs, restrict product development and release, and slow its own growth.
