Zhao Changpeng stated that no cryptocurrency wallet can achieve absolute security, and there is no software without vulnerabilities or technology that is 100% secure.He pointed out that any action carries risks, and so does inaction; it is inevitable to encounter problems, setbacks, and challenges that need to be addressed during the process. Zhao Changpeng advised users to stay informed about the latest developments, manage risks effectively, and actively solve problems.

Some netizens asked investor Duan Yongping about investment-related issues concerning Pop Mart. Duan Yongping responded that he would probably buy some more, but it would not exceed 10% of the company, otherwise the company might have objections. He mentioned that his stake in NetEase has also only reached about 10% at most.Duan Yongping also stated that the related discussions make him appear like an agent for Pop Mart, and he does not want to answer such questions in the future. He said that he has already expressed his viewpoints, and those who missed it will know in a few years.

According to The Defiant, the Telegram crypto application Walt (formerly Wallet in Telegram) announced the launch of AI agent trading features on October 20. Users can connect to Mira developed by The Open Platform, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Anthropic's Claude to manage perpetual contract positions. The connected agents can access real-time perpetual contract prices and market news, view user holdings, leverage, and liquidation risks, and open or close long and short positions based on instructions. They can also set simple rules such as take profit, stop loss, and dollar-cost averaging, monitoring positions around the clock.In terms of security mechanisms, AI agents can only operate funds deposited in dedicated trading accounts and cannot withdraw or transfer funds. Order execution is turned off by default; agents can only analyze and suggest, and users must manually enable it to place actual orders. Users can set their own agent instructions and trading limits, view each step of their operations in real-time, and disconnect at any time. Walt's founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov stated that traditional trading applications are built around terminals, charts, and order tickets, requiring users to learn how to use them, while Telegram users already hold funds in Walt.Walt's perpetual contract business launched in April this year through the decentralized exchange Lighter, offering over 50 markets and supporting up to 50x leverage, settled in USDT. The application was renamed from Wallet in Telegram to Walt on September 28, with developers claiming over 150 million users. Mira launched in February, surpassing 2 million users in May, with over 500,000 monthly active users. Additionally, Robinhood also released an AI trading agent based on dedicated accounts last month.

The blockchain security research organization Asymmetric Research disclosed that there was a vulnerability in the governance program svmgov on the Solana chain: when validators did not participate in voting, independent votes submitted early by their delegators might not be counted in the final results. This vulnerability was reported to the Solana Foundation on July 10 and was fixed on the mainnet on August 3, ahead of the governance vote on August 24.Asymmetric Research estimated based on on-chain data that if the vulnerability had not been fixed, the approval rate of the SGP-0002 proposal, which aims to accelerate the decline of SOL inflation, could have dropped from the actual 67% to 66.65%, below the passing threshold of 66.67%. This vulnerability was fixed before the voting, and did not actually change the outcome of the proposal.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng responded to community user Spigg regarding the suggestion to launch a BNB phone, stating that he rarely disagrees with Spigg but holds a reserved attitude towards the idea of "walking around with a cryptocurrency phone."Previously, Spigg had proposed launching a BNB phone that natively supports wallets, instant payments and transfers, and can centrally access dApps in the BNB Chain ecosystem, believing that this model would provide a different experience on the BNB Chain.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng responded on the X platform regarding the recent mass deletion of old tweets, stating that he was merely testing an AI tool to clean up past retweeted content and did not delete any original posts, so there is no need for the outside world to overinterpret.

In July 2026, the internet infrastructure company Cloudflare launched a research pilot with OpenAI to test whether Cloudflare's network signals could help ChatGPT users discover new content more efficiently. Both parties reported positive early results, with the pilot incorporating previously unknown pages into OpenAI's search index, providing ChatGPT with more sources to reference.The pilot utilized about 1% of Cloudflare's global participation queue, allowing OpenAI to discover and index hundreds of millions of new web pages. OpenAI independently evaluated and ranked these pages based on relevance and usefulness, while ChatGPT Search enabled users to view original content and publishers through backlinks. Observations indicated that automated traffic might make non-existent pages appear noteworthy, with some sites redirecting arbitrary addresses to their homepage and others pointing to duplicate content. Both parties are also testing signals to identify potentially harmful pages, such as fake login pages embedded on legitimate sites, advocating for the marking of single pages rather than entire domains.Related signals are also used to filter out non-existent or redirecting pages and to assess whether unchanged pages are worth revisiting. Page signals do not constitute access permission; the study utilized web metadata for search and discovery rather than using page content for model training. Site owners can understand and manage how AI systems access their websites through Cloudflare's AI Crawl Control. The next phase will improve page selection and test faster, more reliable change signals.

NVIDIA (NVDA.O) launched the cuPotential CUDA-X library, accelerating GPU workflows by 2 to 3 times in the early access phase.

Ethereum Layer 2 network ZKsync announced the launch of the prover Airbender Prime. ZKsync stated that, to their knowledge, this is the first prover to demonstrate real-time proofs of Ethereum on a single GPU. Airbender Prime is designed for post-quantum security, utilizing hash-based STARK, combined with GKR sumcheck, WHIR polynomial commitment, and BLAKE2s hash; its L1 proof will use a commitment based on Keccak-256 instead of BN254 pairing. This prover is based on the open RISC-V standard and combines real-time proofs with independent validators.In a single GPU evaluation, an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell completed proofs for 99% of 7200 consecutive Ethereum mainnet blocks, with each block taking less than 10 seconds, including witness preparation; all blocks were completed within 12 seconds. ZKsync claims that Airbender Prime leads in average proof time, GPU efficiency, and cost reported on the ETHproofs public leaderboard, and it already has dual GPU and quad GPU real-time configurations while reducing the hardware requirements for generating proofs.

On October 13, Ruantong Power was reported to have received 8,000 NVIDIA GPU cards, specifically the NVIDIA 6000D (domestic "special edition" of the Blackwell architecture), which will be used for the production of related servers.

Recently, SoftStone Technology published an article on its WeChat official account regarding the order of 8,000 NVIDIA 6000D GPU cards arriving, which has since been deleted. In response, SoftStone Technology staff stated that the company will announce matters that meet disclosure standards based on business conditions and advised investors not to use such news as the sole basis for investment.

Multiple venture capital firms in Silicon Valley are competing to secure GPU computing power to provide exclusive resources for their AI startups. a16z established a computing power pool of about 20,000 GPUs as early as 2024 and is negotiating expansion with data center companies Switch and Volta. General Catalyst plans to build a data center for its portfolio companies and has brought in the former head of NVIDIA DGX Cloud in May this year to oversee AI infrastructure operations.Even if AI startups complete their financing, they may not be able to rent GPUs in a timely manner. In April this year, major cloud providers like Microsoft were reported to prioritize allocating computing power to internal teams and large clients, leaving some startups facing months of waiting. a16z previously disclosed that during times of computing power shortages, prices that could originally be secured with a six-month contract might require a three-year commitment. Model training requires a large amount of GPU usage in a short period, while inference demand is difficult to predict, making it easy to waste funds by locking in computing power for several years in advance.a16z is concentrating on purchasing and leasing computing power through the Oxygen project, redistributing it to its portfolio companies, allowing them to access prices and contract terms typically reserved for large clients. In August this year, a16z co-led a $300 million financing round for Volta, which is valued at $2.4 billion, with investments covering both AI startups and data center companies providing computing power. The small venture capital firm Crucible Capital has built a cluster with 576 NVIDIA B300 GPUs for its portfolio companies to test, while also selling some computing power to a cutting-edge AI laboratory. This model allows venture capital firms to take on investments that were previously mainly borne by cloud providers and data center operators.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng released a simplified guide for cryptocurrency asset custody, suggesting that users match security measures according to their holding scale and technical capabilities, while focusing on three major issues: preventing asset theft, avoiding accidental loss, and planning for asset inheritance in advance.Regarding self-custody, Zhao Changpeng advised users to take measures such as storing private keys on offline devices, using reliable hardware wallets, verifying transaction addresses, and setting up multiple off-site backups. He also reminded users to avoid saving keys through photos or screenshots to prevent them from syncing to the cloud and causing leaks. In terms of asset inheritance, users should develop a secure recovery plan in advance, avoiding direct sharing of keys or storing recovery information in an unencrypted form. For centralized trading platforms, Zhao Changpeng suggested that users assess the platform's reputation, security capabilities, and business model, and strengthen account protection through measures such as independent email, strong passwords, two-factor authentication, hardware security keys, and withdrawal address whitelists, while also being vigilant against phishing attacks and API credential leaks.Zhao Changpeng further suggested that users should reasonably allocate assets between centralized trading platforms and personal wallets based on their technical capabilities, security management levels, and funding needs. Self-custody means that users need to independently bear the responsibility for private key protection and asset recovery, while custody by trading platforms involves platform credit and counterparty risk. Additionally, maintaining an independent wallet helps to ensure access to assets during maintenance or service interruptions on trading platforms.

He also disclosed that YZi Labs has invested in hardware wallet projects such as OneKey and SafePal, as well as mobile wallet products like Trust Wallet.

Zhao Changpeng issued a reminder for Ledger hardware wallet users to remain vigilant, especially those who have purchased devices recently. According to the information currently available, this incident appears to be limited to the supply chain, involving a supplier, and a few users may have purchased counterfeit or tampered Ledger devices.Zhao Changpeng stated that Ledger is a well-established and relatively secure hardware wallet brand in the industry, but such incidents can still occur. He anticipates and calls for the BNB ecosystem and the entire cryptocurrency industry to assist in tracking the stolen funds and promoting recovery.Previously, Ledger confirmed that it is investigating an asset theft incident involving Southeast Asian users, who had purchased devices through the distributor CryptoBilis. Ledger has requested CryptoBilis to suspend sales and shipments and advised users who purchased devices through this distributor in the past 90 days not to initialize their devices; if they have already completed the setup, they should create a new Ledger signing device using a new mnemonic phrase and transfer their assets to the new wallet.On-chain investigator Specter estimates that this incident has led to the theft of hundreds of wallets on the Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON networks, with losses exceeding 86 million dollars. Security researcher tanuki42 previously estimated the losses to be over 72 million dollars and stated that the amount is still increasing. Currently, the specific cause of the incident and whether the involved devices have security vulnerabilities are still under investigation.
