UPBIT will launch PONS trading on October 8 at 14:00, supporting KRW, BTC, and USDT markets. Users need to confirm the Robinhood Chain network before trading.

Coinkarma founder Benson Sun posted that around 11 PM on October 1, both the US stock market and gold weakened simultaneously, but the Binance BTC/USDT spot market saw a continuous market buy order of about 400 BTC, supporting the price above $84,000, and ultimately the candlestick formed a doji.Around 1:30 AM on October 3, within the same price range, the market briefly saw about 1,400 BTC market sell orders, causing the price to drop rapidly and form a long lower shadow, but it still held in that area. The candlestick showed that approximately 100 BTC sell orders appeared every few seconds, but the price was quickly pulled back by buy orders after each dip.Benson Sun pointed out that this area highly overlaps with the recent rapid accumulation of on-chain chips in the $83,000 to $84,000 range. Combining the spot order flow with on-chain data, it is judged that there is active capital support in this price range, and the buying response was quite evident after BTC entered this area.

The founder of Pons, Ozzy, posted on platform X in response to community concerns about the PONS buyback and burn mechanism, stating that the current burn rate has indeed not been adjusted, and the "Claim" process has not yet achieved complete decentralization.He mentioned that an on-chain contract upgrade is currently underway, with a new buyback mechanism planned to execute a Claim every 7 days. Subsequently, all funds received in the following 7 days will be used for buyback and destruction of PONS, and this process will repeat to establish a more sustainable buyback and burn mechanism. Currently, all buyback and burn operations have been automated. Anyone can trigger this bot and receive a small reward for this action.He further stated that the previously set buyback and burn rate is 2e per hour. Combined with the current funding scale of approximately 950,000 USD in the Splitter (fund diversion contract), this rate aligns with the 7-day buyback cycle. Funds will also be automatically executed according to the 7-day cycle after being claimed, so the buyback funds will be displayed in two different sections: one is the current active buyback fund pool (Active Buyback Vault), and the other is reserved for the buyback funds for the next week.Previously, crypto analyst yyy posted on platform X stating that Pons has not replenished funds to the buyback allocator for over 5 days, with approximately 440,000 USD in the escrow account awaiting claim. He believes that the untimely claiming of funds has led to a low burn rate of PONS recently and calls for promoting the decentralization of fund claims from the escrow account.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that if Kaliningrad is directly attacked, Russia will consider using all weapons owned by the state.

Zcash founder Zooko posted that Zcash has issued over 8 million dollars in retroactive grants this round, with millions of dollars awarded to those who contributed to protecting all users during this year's AI vulnerability crisis.The more significant meaning of this funding is that Zcash once again proves that its self-funding and self-governance system is sustainable, resistant to capture, and capable of continuous evolution. Zcash will conduct multiple rounds of similar funding every year in the future while continuously improving the mechanism.

Well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that market sentiment towards PONS may have dropped to a long-term low, with its comparable project PUMP currently having a market capitalization of about 2.7 billion dollars, up 17% today.PONS has an annual revenue of about 156.8 million dollars and a market capitalization of about 375 million dollars, corresponding to an annual revenue multiple of about 2.39 times; PUMP has an annual revenue of about 463.6 million dollars, corresponding to a market capitalization of about 2.7 billion dollars, with an annual revenue multiple of about 5.82 times.PUMP is the leading Launchpad in the Solana ecosystem, while PONS is the leading Launchpad on the Robinhood Chain. If the Robinhood Chain can maintain a certain level of ecosystem activity in the future, the gap between PONS's current valuation and its revenue scale may be worth noting.

In today's community live broadcast, Bitget CEO Gracy responded to recent security incidents and the platform's financial status. She candidly stated that this is the first security incident encountered since Bitget was established 8 years ago. After a complete trace, it was found that hackers exploited vulnerabilities in third-party security products to steal internal network access credentials, forged withdrawal commands to the wallet system, and deceived the wallet into executing abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy emphasized that no private keys were leaked, and cold wallets were unaffected; specific technical details will be disclosed in the formally released security report.Gracy pointed out that the verified losses from this incident are within the coverage of the protection fund, and user funds are not affected. The platform's own funds exceed $1.4 billion, which includes approximately $464 million in the user protection fund. The platform will continue to uphold the security commitments made when the protection fund was established in 2022, planning to replenish the fund to the baseline of $300 million within a week."The protection fund is not just a slogan, but an important mechanism that provides tangible security for users in the event of extreme security incidents," Gracy stated. In the face of sudden security challenges, the platform's comprehensive strength and its ability to take responsibility are important criteria for measuring its risk response capability and long-term credibility. Bitget will continue to uphold its long-term commitment to prioritize user interests.

Renowned trader Bonk Guy responded to criticisms regarding long-term holding of tokens and not choosing to sell, stating that long-term holding of high-confidence assets is part of his trading strategy, and he does not believe that one must sell after a significant price increase.Bonk Guy indicated that PONS is the most promising utility token in his portfolio, currently valued at approximately 400 million dollars; USELESS is his most favored meme coin, currently valued at around 270 million dollars. Neither has reached 1 billion dollars, while some meme coins and protocols that performed strongly in the previous cycle had market capitalizations exceeding 4 billion to 5 billion dollars, which is why he has chosen to continue holding them.

B.AI announced a major upgrade to its Responses API, which is now fully compatible with upstream standard protocols. Existing models on the platform can be uniformly called through the /v1/responses interface as long as they support the Responses API.At the same time, when B.AI adds new models from integrated vendors in the future, developers will not need additional configuration to automatically and seamlessly integrate them into the Codex client. In this upgrade, the official API full set group adds support for MiMo, Qwen, and Hunyuan series models, while the Mix and OL Station optional service provider group adds support for OpenAI, Gemini, and Grok series models.Developers only need to complete the minimal configuration of the API Key and Base URL to integrate the capabilities of various models into their daily workflows.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, billionaire investor and founder of Draper Associates Tim Draper stated on the Bitcoin Magazine podcast that government spending has not slowed down, which will only lead to two outcomes: hyperinflation or interest rates high enough to collapse banks. He believes that it is "irresponsible" for companies like Apple and Meta not to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.Draper suggested in the program that every business should hold at least the equivalent of four weeks of operating expenses in Bitcoin, each individual should hold about six months' worth of Bitcoin reserves, and every government should also hold Bitcoin as a hedge. He further explained that when banks holding cash fail, not having any Bitcoin on the board will expose legal and financial risks.Additionally, Draper linked his $250,000 Bitcoin price target to the next halving event and the subsequent supply shock.
