CoinDCX released further clarification regarding the on-chain activities of the TQKJQ wallet, stating that after the security incident in July 2025, the affected wallet addresses have been deactivated, but some users are still depositing funds to the old addresses. The platform's original periodic fund collection process was ineffective for a period of time, and the related issues were discovered this morning, resulting in some operational losses, which will be borne by CoinDCX.CoinDCX stated that despite some users depositing funds to the deactivated addresses, the relevant user accounts have still received the corresponding credits. The platform claims that customer assets continue to be stored in independent cold wallets, and the currently active wallets and user addresses have not been affected, with the platform's trading operations running normally. CoinDCX also reminds users to verify the latest deposit addresses only through the official app or website to avoid transferring funds to deactivated addresses.Previously, on-chain detective ZachXBT had questioned why the deposit address TQKJQ was still in use for about 10 months after the security incident, with approximately $15.8 million of user deposits unaccounted for.

The Digital Currency Renminbi Operation Management Center interprets the recently released core results of the central bank's digital renminbi system DCEPS and the digital renminbi smart contract ecological service framework e-CNY SMART Contract. DCEPS is a comprehensive payment and settlement platform that integrates issuance management, retail, wholesale, blockchain payment, and smart contract services, providing a technical foundation to support digital currency.e-CNY SMART Contract is designed to meet the needs of digital economic development, constructing a smart contract service system that involves multiple participants and open collaboration, which has already been implemented in scenarios such as prepaid fund management, supply chain finance, fiscal subsidies, consumer red envelopes, and wage distribution for migrant workers. The digital renminbi has been upgraded from cash-type 1.0 to deposit currency-type 2.0 as of January 1, 2026, with DCEPS and the digital currency cross-border settlement comprehensive service platform being built and operated by the Digital Currency Renminbi Operation Management Center and the International Operation Center, respectively.

The Cardano ecosystem's decentralized trading and yield protocol Genius Yield is gradually ceasing operations. Co-founder Lars Brünjes stated on October 22 that to address the issue of users being unable to withdraw assets normally, an independent open-source tool called Genius Zero has been developed.Genius Zero allows users to bypass the original backend servers of Genius Yield and directly use Cardano smart contracts to unstake, cancel DEX orders, and withdraw assets. The original DEX trading fees still flow to the address controlled by Genius Yield, and adjusting the fee rates requires the signatures of at least three of the four original founders, which has not yet received sufficient authorization.

According to a report by North Korea Biz on October 20, Samsung Electronics' foundry division has seen its 4-nanometer process capacity nearing full load due to an increase in customer orders, while the company is also expanding efforts to attract new customers for its 5-nanometer process. The report states that contracts for the most advanced 2-nanometer process with major global tech companies are still delayed, prompting Samsung to increase the utilization rates of its relatively stable 4-nanometer and 5-nanometer processes to improve profitability.The 4-nanometer process is used for smartphone application processors, artificial intelligence semiconductors, and high-performance computing chips. The report indicates that not all chips in the expanding artificial intelligence semiconductor market require the most advanced processes; the manufacturing costs of 4-nanometer and 5-nanometer processes are relatively low while still achieving high performance, making them suitable for certain artificial intelligence inference chips and application-specific integrated circuits.Regarding the 2-nanometer process, Samsung is in discussions with major global tech companies about production contracts, but some negotiations are taking longer than originally expected. In addition to yield rates, the most advanced processes also require comprehensive verification of energy efficiency, design assets, and stable mass production capabilities, which means a longer time frame from contract signing to mass production. Samsung views the 2-nanometer process as the core growth driver for its next-generation foundry business and plans to continue using the fully surrounded gate transistor structure first introduced in the 3-nanometer process to improve energy efficiency and performance.
