ChianCatcher news, Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu tweeted that the foundation's work revolves around two main goals: attracting top talent and capital to Solana. Capital and talent are interdependent and mutually prerequisite. She pointed out that "king-making" is shortsighted and self-limiting, and that "trustworthy neutrality" is feasible in code, but insufficient when applied to humans who require judgment. The foundation's principle is to be open to talent: actively promoting competition and letting the market decide the outcome. No one can rise above the market.Regarding perpetual contracts, the foundation has always supported diversity among builders, and the recent efforts include making the perpetual plan and cutting-edge trader program public. It is not true that only one team on Solana can build fully on-chain perpetual contracts; several teams have recently challenged this. A fully on-chain architecture is more valuable for DeFi and Solana's future. The foundation does not determine success or failure; the market does.

The South African National Treasury and the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) have released a draft regulation for cross-border transfers of crypto assets. Farzam Ehsani, co-founder and CEO of the crypto asset trading platform VALR, stated that unless key terms are significantly modified, the relevant framework could harm the domestic digital asset industry and drive funds overseas.The draft allows individual residents to transfer crypto assets abroad within the existing foreign exchange limits but restricts companies from engaging in cross-border crypto asset transactions and categorizes some deposits from private non-custodial wallets as unacceptable transfers for local crypto asset service providers (CASP). Ehsani believes this could prompt businesses and retail investors to turn to overseas platforms.Ehsani pointed out that prohibiting regulated entities from processing legitimate business transactions, especially cross-border stablecoin payments, could push transactions underground or abroad, thereby undermining the visibility and monitoring capabilities that regulators hope to achieve. The South African National Treasury and SARB have opened a public consultation, with the feedback deadline set for September 30.

ECX developer Paul Sztorc announced that the ECX hard fork will be launched in three phases, rather than the originally scheduled single release on August 23. ECX is a new blockchain that replicates the complete transaction history of Bitcoin at a specified block height. Almost all Bitcoin holders, except for Satoshi Nakamoto's portion of Bitcoin, will receive an equivalent amount of ECX, and the Bitcoin network itself will not change.The first Alpha version will be activated on August 23 at block height 963648, the Beta version will go live on September 20 at block height 967680, and the permanent complete version is scheduled for release on October 31 at block height 973728. Tokens collected during the Alpha and Beta phases can be destroyed and exchanged for official ECX once the permanent chain is launched. The replay protection for ECX remains an optional mechanism; the official wallet will enable this protection and remind users before executing transactions. Paul Sztorc stated that if users ignore the reminder, ECX will replay their Bitcoin transactions, causing the related Bitcoins to follow the user out and transfer to new holders; October 31 also marks the 18th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto's publication of the Bitcoin white paper.

According to Jinshi reports, the Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer of Meta Platforms announced that the Muse Code beta version has been launched. This is the first programming agent from the Meta Superintelligence Lab (MSL), built on Muse Spark 1.2.

According to Slow Fog monitoring, MistEye detected a large-scale npm supply chain attack affecting the Keyv/Cacheable ecosystem. The attackers published over 2,000 malicious package versions, including keyv@6.0. Keyv is a widely used key-value storage abstraction library that supports backends such as Redis, SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, with approximately 127 million downloads per week, leading to significant downstream supply chain exposure.The attack method is highly similar to the previous Shai-Hulud npm worm activity, indicating a highly automated and scalable supply chain attack. Potential attack behaviors include credential theft, environment variable leakage, CI/CD key leakage, remote payload delivery, and lateral propagation through compromised development environments. Security teams should immediately identify and remove affected package versions, upgrade to verified secure versions, review dependency lock files and build logs, monitor suspicious external connections, rotate leaked credentials, and rebuild environments upon confirmation of the impact.

Researchers at the Chinese People's Public Security University have developed an AI framework capable of detecting illegal cryptocurrency transactions with an overall accuracy rate close to 90%. The study was published in the Chinese peer-reviewed journal "Journal of Intelligence," and the corresponding author, Dr. Sun Jingchao (specializing in criminal investigation and cybersecurity), noted that the research "provides an accurate, scalable, and interpretable solution for detecting illegal cryptocurrency transactions," and offers "an innovative technical path" for regulatory agencies to combat illegal cryptocurrency transactions and economic crimes.This AI framework utilizes memory modules and large language models, specifically targeting the anonymity and cross-border characteristics of cryptocurrencies to track illegal activities such as money laundering. The release of this research coincides with China's ongoing efforts to intensify the crackdown on financial crimes related to cryptocurrencies. In March of this year, the Supreme People's Procuratorate of China disclosed that by 2025, procuratorial authorities had prosecuted 3,259 individuals for money laundering crimes involving virtual currencies and underground banks.As the trading volume of cryptocurrencies rapidly increases, their anonymity and cross-border characteristics provide a channel for illegal fund flows. This police-developed AI detection tool marks a shift in regulatory technology from passive tracking to proactive intelligent identification.

According to CoinDesk, Jazzi Cooper, the head of RippleX products, stated on the X platform that the next version of the XRP Ledger, xrpld 3.3.0, will be released next week.

Co-founder of the crypto wallet Solflare, Vidor, posted on the X platform that operations have been halted due to the solvency issues of the card issuer partner Kulipa, and the Solflare Card has suspended services. Vidor emphasized the safety of user funds, as the Solflare Card uses an end-to-end self-custody model—funds are deducted directly from the user's wallet without the need for deposits or top-ups, and no user funds are held by the card issuer.The team had made efforts to help Kulipa find a buyer and explore continuity solutions, but to no avail. A new version of the Solflare Card is in development, which will include features such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, higher limits, and cashback, while still maintaining self-custody, and is expected to launch in a few weeks.

According to the Wall Street Journal, after nearly a year of freezing hiring, several large companies in the United States have begun to rehire, with railway giant CSX and Google's parent company Alphabet recently indicating plans to recruit to support growth targets or seize emerging technology opportunities. Over the past year and a half, large employers have generally reduced white-collar positions, partly due to economic uncertainty and partly based on the judgment that reducing staff can lead to faster growth and that AI can take on more work. However, some executives now state that the costs and limitations of AI actually require an increase in personnel.The report states that Booz Allen's Chief Operating Officer Kristine Martin Anderson indicated that the company needs to accelerate hiring, as it cut thousands of positions last year amid a contraction in federal contracts, with a total headcount of about 30,900 as of June 30, a year-on-year decrease of 7.5%. Sarah Franklin, CEO of the HR platform Lattice, stated that many companies had paused hiring for junior positions due to expectations that AI would take over jobs, but now realize that even with programming agents, they still need to hire engineers and are currently re-hiring a large number of junior positions. At the same time, layoffs in the U.S. have slowed, with initial jobless claims recently dropping to the lowest level since 1969.

According to a report by The Information citing informed sources, a Shanghai state-owned company whose name has not been disclosed has begun producing domestically-made immersion DUV lithography machines, planning to manufacture about 5 units this year and increase to about 20 units by 2027. The first batch of equipment will be delivered to major foundries such as SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor, and ChangXin Technology, but the equipment still needs to undergo verification for accuracy, stability, and production line compatibility, a process that may take several months or even longer.Currently, most components of the equipment come from domestic sources, but some key parts still rely on Japan, and the performance and manufacturing quality lag behind ASML. In comparison, ASML is set to deliver about 131 immersion DUV lithography machines as early as 2025. Although domestic equipment has made the leap from prototype testing to small-scale production, there is still a significant gap before it can replace ASML on a large scale. Previously, Reuters reported that the U.S. is considering tightening restrictions on the export of lithography equipment to China and on maintenance services in China, and the delivery of domestic equipment coincides with this backdrop.

According to a chart released by independent analyst Markus Thielen, there is a clear divergence signal between Bitcoin's price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The RSI recently fell to the 30% oversold range, then rebounded to about 50%, while the BTC price also rose from near its low to about $64,645.It is noteworthy that the purple downward trend line in the chart indicates that since the peak in June 2025 (around $125,000), BTC has been in a downward channel, and the current price is still under pressure from this resistance line. Whether it can effectively break through will be key to judging the subsequent trend.
