Recently, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han accepted an exclusive interview with the cryptocurrency media Bitcoin.com, reflecting on Gate's journey from developing its underlying trading system in 2013 to becoming a platform serving over 61 million users across more than 130 countries and regions. He further elaborated on the strategic vision of the TOKEN2049 keynote speech "One Gate, Everything Money."Dr. Han stated that in the face of the long-standing barriers between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market, users have often faced the dilemma of fragmented capital management. They not only need to frequently transfer funds between banks, brokerages, and cryptocurrency platforms but also have to keep a large amount of cash idle in bank accounts, suffering losses from inflation and lack of returns. Meanwhile, high-quality assets like stocks and gold are difficult to consume immediately due to liquidity constraints.To address this industry pain point, Gate officially launched the integrated financial application Gate Money, which consolidates fiat currency, cryptocurrency assets, gold, ETFs, and over 12,800 global stocks into a single account. Users no longer need to hold large amounts of low-yield idle cash and can allocate capital to high-quality assets with value preservation and appreciation potential. When a consumption demand arises, the system will instantly convert the corresponding assets into fiat currency for payment, keeping the funds in an investment state before consumption.

According to a report by ZDNet Korea on October 15, Samsung Electronics has lowered its production plan for mid-range and low-end smartphones in the fourth quarter. The reasons include rising prices of memory chips and disruptions in the supply of glass fiber used in PCB raw materials CCL. Japan's Nitto Denko is shifting more production capacity towards T-glass for AI semiconductors, reducing the output of E-glass for smartphone PCBs, leading to supply shortages and price increases. E-glass is used in semi-cured sheets for smartphone motherboards HDI and RFPCB.The report states that after the rise in storage prices increased manufacturing costs, Samsung reduced orders for related components. Models like the Galaxy A have lower profitability, making it difficult to significantly increase production. This year, the prices of basic mid-range models have risen by more than 100,000 Korean Won compared to the previous generation. The outlook for component orders communicated to partners for the fourth quarter corresponds to an annual smartphone shipment volume of just over 230 million units, which is below the component industry's expectation of 240 million units and represents a decrease of 20% to 30% compared to before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. Plans for the mobile business next year have not been shared with partners as in previous years.The monthly production outlook for the fourth quarter in mid-September was 14.3 million units in October, 9.5 million units in November, and 7.6 million units in December, totaling 31.4 million units. This was adjusted at the beginning of this month to 9.9 million units in October, 7.6 million units in November, and 6.7 million units in December, totaling 24.2 million units, a reduction of 23%. While the production of mid-range and low-end models has been lowered, the shipment plans for flagship models like the Galaxy S27 at the beginning of next year remain at a high level, and the shipment volume for foldable phones is also planned to increase. The MX and Network divisions reported a loss of 735 billion Korean Won in the second quarter, with the securities industry projecting an annual loss of 400 billion Korean Won.

The liquid staking token bOSMO issued by Backbone Labs nearly exhausted its contract support after a large redemption in the Osmosis community pool. A disclosure on the Osmosis forum on October 15 revealed that approximately 40,508 OSMO were designated for compensation to 1,037 accounts. The disclosure author Johnny Wyles stated that the staking contract has overpaid for each redemption since at least April 2026, settling at approximately 1.676 OSMO per bOSMO, while the declared exchange rate of the contract was about 1.117 OSMO.The vulnerability repeatedly counted the OSMO staked on Backbone's own validators, allowing redeemers to receive about 50% more assets, at the cost of diluting the support for remaining holders. The defect was exposed when preparing to liquidate the community pool position, and the passed governance proposal 1049 authorized the withdrawal of the Margined managed treasury position and the destruction of the reclaimed OSMO when it ceased managing liquidity operations. The pool's bOSMO treasury holds approximately 1.137 million bOSMO, accounting for about 97% of the total supply of the token; the redemption transaction executed on October 9 at 21:59 ET destroyed 776,000 bOSMO and began unbinding approximately 1.3 million OSMO.Compensation is based on the qualified balance at block 72,237,940, calculated at 1.1174 OSMO per bOSMO. bOSMO purchased after the snapshot is not included in the compensation, and underlying holders in the liquidity pool and other contracts are also included;

During a live AMA interview hosted by CoinMarketCap, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han discussed the development direction of digital finance, the product positioning of Gate Money, and the accelerated integration of digital assets with traditional finance.Dr. Han stated, "The future of digital finance lies not only in providing more asset choices but also in connecting assets, funds, and payments, allowing users to manage assets, transfer funds, and meet daily payment needs more conveniently within one ecosystem." Upholding the core concept of "One Gate, Everything Money," Gate Money integrates services such as digital assets, fiat currency, stocks, ETFs, gold, bank accounts, payments, and asset management into a single account, covering scenarios like asset holding, receiving payments, transferring, exchanging, paying, and earning. Users in eligible regions can also open an e-banking account with the same name and use the Gate Card for online and offline consumption with fiat or digital assets, further bridging asset allocation and daily payment scenarios.Regarding the accelerated integration of digital assets and traditional finance, Dr. Han also explored the roles of stablecoins and asset tokenization in cross-border capital flow, on-chain settlement, and financial service innovation. As user demands extend from single transactions to investment management, fund transfers, and daily consumption scenarios, Gate will continue to expand the asset categories, payment methods, and service capabilities of Gate Money, enriching the application of digital assets in diverse financial scenarios and providing users with a more integrated financial service experience.

According to Bloomberg, New York City Comptroller Mark Levine sent a letter on Wednesday to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, urging the company to postpone its IPO until it fully addresses the risks related to artificial intelligence safety, governance, and the pace of development, prioritizing the risks posed by the technology.Levine oversees public pension funds with assets exceeding $325 billion.

This address sold 1.264 billion PUMP in a single transaction on-chain about 7 hours ago, exchanging it for 5.483 million USDC, with an average transaction price of approximately $0.0043.Due to the large one-time sell-off, this transaction incurred about 5% slippage loss.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has revoked the major payment institution license of the currency exchange and cross-border remittance entity Sir Money Changer Pte. Ltd. (SMC) under the Payment Services Act 2019, effective from September 15, 2026.

MAS pointed out that license holders must not allow third parties to use their license to conduct financial service activities and require payment service providers to maintain effective supervision and control over their business operations.

Among major brands, Xiaomi and Oppo were hit the hardest, while Apple and Samsung performed relatively better due to their larger portfolio of high-end models.
