According to The Defiant, the OUSD lending vault under Sentora holds $42.5 million in assets on the Tempo network. This vault is built on the Morpho protocol, allowing users to borrow against cbBTC as collateral.Despite the considerable size of the vault, the report points out that the vast majority of its assets are currently idle and have not been deployed into actual lending operations. This means that the vault's capital utilization rate is low and its lending functionality has not been fully realized.

According to The Defiant, the HashKey Chain administrator transferred 142,818 USDT by temporarily replacing the contract, and about six minutes later, the original deposit code was restored. HashKey Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 network launched by HashKey Group, primarily aimed at compliance and institutional-level application scenarios.The report shows that this temporary replacement did not change the final state of the deposit code, but a multi-signature composed of five members, requiring three signatures, still retains the immediate upgrade authority, allowing upgrades to the contract to be executed without a time lock delay.

On October 14, the stablecoin payment blockchain Tempo announced that the payroll payment platform Deel has become the first customer to use its Zones privacy system in a production environment, with contractor balances and payment histories no longer publicly accessible. According to the case study released by Tempo, the funds deposited by Deel's treasury department into its Zone remain visible on the public network, but which contractors received payments, how much each received, and what assets they hold are private; contractors can view their own balances, while Deel retains access for reconciliation and auditing.Each Zone maintains a private ledger connected to the Tempo public network through a portal that holds endorsed assets. According to Tempo's privacy documentation, operators can read the ledger, while deposits and withdrawals will leave records on the public network, including the amount of tokens and public network addresses. Operators can also restrict the participants and assets supported by the Zone and apply the transfer policies of the token issuers. Tempo demonstrated an example of private accounts using public financial products: after depositing into the Zone, accessing public Earn products, and then bringing the positions back to the Zone, their balances and holdings remain private.This launch adds privacy features to Deel's existing wallet, which was opened to qualified contractors in over 80 countries in August. Tempo stated that this integration does not change Deel's existing customer wallet and treasury infrastructure, with embedded wallet service provider Privy supporting Zones through its API.

The blockchain project Tempo released a report indicating that the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) plans to adjust accounting rules for stablecoins, allowing eligible tokens to be classified as cash equivalents on company balance sheets, or reducing accounting barriers for enterprises adopting stablecoins.Under current accounting practices, stablecoins, even if fully backed by U.S. dollars, may not be counted as cash reserves reported by the company, thereby affecting liquidity ratios and loan covenants. The proposed rules allow companies to use stablecoins for payments and settlements but require them to have direct redemption rights with the issuer. Purchasing USDC through exchanges may not necessarily meet the criteria for classification as cash equivalents.In its 2025 annual report, Coinbase classified USDC and other payment-type stablecoins as cash equivalents, based on its redemption arrangement with Circle. The public comment period for the FASB proposed rules will continue until November 19, after which the board will review feedback and determine the final accounting changes and effective date. At the time of this proposal's release, the market size for U.S. dollar stablecoins had exceeded $300 billion.

According to Bloomberg, the AI company DeepSeek is nearing the completion of a new round of financing, expected to reach at least 80 billion yuan (approximately 12 billion USD), significantly exceeding the company's previous financing target of about 50 billion yuan. Insiders revealed that Tencent Holdings and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) have committed to investing a substantial amount in this round of financing, with the related financing deal expected to be finalized soon.Due to the significant increase in market demand and investment interest following the release of DeepSeek's latest AI model, the scale of this financing has exceeded expectations, and the final amount may even approach 100 billion yuan. Previously, DeepSeek sought financing of about 50 billion yuan, while investor interest in its AI technology advancements has driven the financing scale further upward. DeepSeek has previously attracted attention from institutions such as Tencent and CATL, and is expanding its computing power infrastructure, AI model research and development, and team building through this financing.Bloomberg Línea reported that DeepSeek plans to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in early 2027, and this large-scale financing will provide funding support for its development before going public. DeepSeek has gained global attention with its low-cost, high-performance AI models and is currently increasing its investment in next-generation AI technology and computing resources.

Cosmos Labs disclosed that on September 22, Neutron encountered a governance attack that led to the theft of liquidity from protocols such as Astroport, with approximately 1.73 million ATOM subsequently transferred by the attacker to Cosmos Hub. The Cosmos Hub itself was not attacked, and user funds were not affected. To prevent the stolen ATOM from being transferred out, Hub validators temporarily paused the network for about 24.5 hours and resumed block production on September 23 based on the patched Gaia v28.3.0.Cosmos Labs stated that during the pause, 1.227 million ATOM remained in the attacker's Hub address. When the network was restored, these were transferred to a 4/6 multi-signature address composed of Nansen, Keplr, Enigma, Silknodes, Kiln, and Polkachu through a one-time change. Previously, about 500,000 ATOM had been exchanged for ETH via THORChain and could not be recovered; another 169,000 ATOM entered the attacker's address after the network was restored due to THORChain refunds and were sold after being transferred to Osmosis. The current multi-signature address holds approximately 1.227 million ATOM, which can only be returned after authorization from a Cosmos Hub governance proposal. The related funds will not be staked, lent, or traded. The Neutron team expects to submit a recovery plan and related governance proposals next week.

Radix Foundation released an incident report stating that attackers exploited a previously undiscovered vulnerability in Radix Engine to extract assets from a third-party vault without the owner's authorization, and then sold them across chains to networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana via Hyperlane.The vulnerability originated from a code compilation in June 2023, and an independent security audit conducted by Zellic in August 2024 also did not identify the issue. About 3 hours after the incident occurred, Radix validators proactively took offline enough staked shares to prevent the network from reaching consensus, thereby stopping further exploitation of the vulnerability; affected assets included ETH, WBTC, USDT, USDC, BNB, and SOL.Radix stated that the vulnerability has been fixed and has undergone independent review and testing, and the network recovery is currently being advanced.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that in the past 24 hours, Bitcoin rose from $76,300 to $77,400.

Ripple announced the expansion of its XRP Ledger developer suite to support the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) co-developed by Stripe and Tempo, as well as the open wallet standard. The XRPL AI Starter Kit version 1.1 adds this support, enabling AI agents to use tokens like XRP and RLUSD to pay for online services such as data and computing power. Jazzi Cooper, head of RippleX products, stated that Ripple's goal is for XRP and RLUSD to become the preferred payment options for developers when building applications.MPP allows AI agents to pay on demand: the service provider quotes a price for the request, and after the agent authorizes the payment, the service provider delivers the resources. This standard was co-authored by payment company Stripe and payment chain Tempo. Ripple has supported another network payment standard, x402, since June, and now supports both standards simultaneously. The open wallet standard allows agents to initiate transactions without accessing private keys and includes security mechanisms such as spending limits and whitelisted destinations.XRP payment channels are suitable for small, high-frequency payment scenarios, allowing agents to deposit XRP once, run hundreds of payment queries, and authorize small expenditures sequentially, enabling the service provider to collect cumulative payments without having to put each query on-chain. Currently, single payments support tokens like RLUSD, but continuous payment sessions are limited to XRP, and incorporating stablecoins into the channel depends on the proposed ledger upgrade. This payment software is still in the testing phase.
