According to TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), the suspected post-00s well-known trader 0xRay518 increased their positions in PONS and SNDK short positions this weekend. As of the time of publication, they hold a $13.46 million SNDK 10x short position and a $3.62 million PONS 3x short position. This address is currently the second-largest short position address on Hyperliquid.In addition, 0xRay518 reduced their short position by 49.12 Bitcoin this morning, and currently still holds a $81.52 million Bitcoin 20x short position. Public information shows that 0xRay518 started their investment career at the age of 14 (in 2020), using $3,000 of their New Year's money to trade shipping stocks, earning up to about $300,000 at its peak, but nearly went to zero due to high leverage. From 2021 to 2022, they shifted to NFTs and airdrops, making their first real fortune through the Arbitrum airdrop. In 2025, they abandoned their high school entrance exam midway and heavily invested $1 million in TRUMP coin on the roadside, making a profit of 3-4 times before exiting.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the company will not go public this year, with the IPO potentially delayed until 2027. In an interview with Fortune, Altman mentioned that given the current circumstances surrounding safety issues, going public now is not a wise move, and the company feels no pressure in this regard.He added that the company has a lot of work to do, including meeting safety and alignment requirements, as well as promoting collaboration between the industry and the government. This statement comes as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly called for a slowdown in the AI race on Saturday, with both Altman and Elon Musk quickly expressing their agreement.

According to Cryptopolitan, over 100 researchers, using AI coding agents, have reduced the quantum attack resource score for the Bitcoin secp256k1 elliptic curve point addition subroutine by 86.1% (from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion). This optimization only targets a single step in Shor's algorithm and does not break any private keys or transfer funds; a complete attack still requires fault-tolerant quantum hardware that does not yet exist. However, each efficiency improvement compresses the time window for quantum migration after blockchain completion.According to Glassnode data, approximately 6.04 million BTC (30.2% of the circulating supply) face potential quantum risks due to exposed public keys on-chain. Ethereum plans to achieve full quantum resistance by December 2029, while the Bitcoin community faces greater challenges at the governance level, including how to handle approximately 1.7 million suspected dormant P2PK address coins held by Satoshi, which remains unresolved.

According to The Bell, Samsung Electronics' foundry division has delayed its contract for application processor foundry production with Qualcomm due to differences in production unit prices, and both parties have failed to narrow the price gap, prolonging negotiations. There have been no significant technical issues, and the currently discussed 2-nanometer process has received a considerable degree of stabilization evaluation.Industry sources indicate that the Qualcomm AP foundry using Samsung's 2-nanometer process may be postponed until next year, and it is unclear whether production can commence within this year. Qualcomm had previously entrusted advanced AP production to Samsung before 2021, and Samsung has been continuously striving to regain this business in recent years, having secured clients such as Tesla and Broadcom.Informed sources state that the contract delay has made it difficult for Samsung to produce APs for Qualcomm this year, and both parties may turn to discuss the next generation of products. After acquiring strategic clients, Samsung is no longer willing to accept low-price orders as it did in the past.

The core development team of Solana, Anza, posted on platform X stating that the mainnet Beta transaction V1 will begin activation at epoch 1035, expected around September 15 at 1:20 UTC.The ecosystem team indicated that more time is needed to test and integrate V1 support; V1 is currently live on the development network for integration testing. The computational budget in V1 is set through new transaction configuration settings; the computational budget instructions are still usable in traditional transactions and V0 transactions, but will not take effect in V1; application developers should check the impact of related changes on their applications even if they do not plan to send V1 transactions.

LayerZero announced the launch of Akita, calling it the first production-ready, lattice-based polynomial commitment scheme for post-quantum security.LayerZero stated that this is the first major step to achieve quantum security for Zero and will be implemented on the first day of Jolt's launch, thanks to collaboration with a16z crypto.

Base co-founder Jesse Pollak clarified in a post on platform X that his account was attacked, and the attacker published a scam token ticker through third-party applications connected to the account. Jesse stated that the related posts have been deleted, all third-party application connections have been removed, and he has regained full control of the account, reminding users to be cautious about security.According to a screenshot of the deleted post, after gaining control of Jesse Pollak's account, the attacker published a token named BASEMEME and described it as "the first meme coin with actual utility," along with the trading entry and contract address for o1.exchange. The market value of this meme coin is currently reported at $257,000.

Cryptocurrency KOL XXAntiWar posted on platform X again after nearly a year, stating: "Believe that the bull will come, and the bull will come; believe that you will get rich, and money will come into your pocket."Subsequently, XXAntiWar wrote "Come Wealth" continuously and added the text "With gratitude, I receive. Money loves me and I believe."

According to Reuters, citing informed sources, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic is adjusting its IPO plans, with a roadshow expected to start as early as mid-October, aiming to complete the listing before the U.S. midterm elections in November.Informed sources revealed that Anthropic originally planned to publicly release its IPO prospectus as early as next week, but the expected release date has now been postponed to the end of September. If the latest plan proceeds, the company's listing valuation could reach as high as approximately $2 trillion, potentially making it one of the largest IPOs in history.Meanwhile, Anthropic is advancing a $15 billion revolving credit facility. Bank analysts participating in this financing are expected to meet with the company before the prospectus is published. Institutions such as Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup are currently involved in the IPO preparation work.This listing plan is expected to attract significant market attention and may coincide with potential listing plans from other AI companies like OpenAI.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, after Elon Musk replied to the SLINK post from Shivon Zilis's hacked account, multiple traders rushed into the token. Just four traders lost about $807,000. The market capitalization of $SLINK once soared to about $80 million, then plummeted to about $2 million, a drop of over 97% from its peak.

According to Bitcoin.com, the Bitcoin-themed movie "Bitcoin" has entered the post-production stage, with a production budget of approximately 70 million dollars.The film is directed by Doug Liman, known for "The Bourne Identity," and stars Gal Gadot, Casey Affleck, Pete Davidson, and Isla Fisher. Among them, Casey Affleck will portray Craig Wright, who claims to be the creator of Bitcoin, while Pete Davidson will play his supporter Calvin Ayre.Reportedly, some scenes and lighting in the film are generated by AI. Currently, the film has not confirmed a major distributor in the United States or a specific release date.In addition, some commentators believe the film may lean towards portraying Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto, but the production team has not confirmed this.

The G7 Cybersecurity Working Group stated in its latest report that quantum computing poses security threats to both public and private institutions, as well as economic threats, and relevant organizations should begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) immediately. The working group noted that the migration process could take several years, and attackers can currently collect and store encrypted data to decrypt it once sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.Quantum computing may also break digital signatures, leading to identity theft and exposing businesses and their supply chains. The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, but similar public key cryptography is used for blockchain wallets and transaction authorizations. Currently, quantum computers are unable to break Bitcoin's cryptography, but developers are considering post-quantum solutions such as BIP-360. Ethereum researchers plan to replace several cryptographic components used by accounts, validators, and applications. The Solana Foundation has tested post-quantum signatures on its testnet and launched an optional hash-based vault. The G7 working group also urged governments to support relevant research, public-private collaboration, and national PQC strategies.

According to two informed sources, Payward, the parent company of cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, has postponed its highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) to as early as the second quarter of 2027. CoinDesk reported in March this year that the company had shelved its multi-billion dollar IPO plans due to a challenging market environment; this delay further extends the much-watched listing process.Payward confidentially submitted its S-1 registration statement draft to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2025, shortly after the company completed an $800 million funding round at a $20 billion valuation, which included a $200 million investment from Citadel Securities. After Circle and Bullish successfully went public last year, the cryptocurrency industry originally expected a wave of listings in 2026, but weak coin prices and trading volumes, along with the lackluster market performance of some newly listed digital asset companies, dampened investor enthusiasm, leading companies like Grayscale, Consensys, and Ledger to also postpone their listing plans.During the IPO hiatus, Payward continued to expand beyond its core exchange business, venturing into traditional and crypto derivatives, tokenized stocks, and payment infrastructure through a series of acquisitions and product launches. The company's adjusted revenue for the second quarter was $508 million, a 17% year-over-year increase, with the number of funded accounts rising to 6.6 million and platform assets reaching $40 billion.

Vassilis Tziokas from Matter Labs pointed out in a CoinDesk article that the U.S. Senate has postponed the Clarity Act until September. This market structure bill failed to complete the final vote before the August recess, meaning that regulatory rules for the digital asset market will take weeks to be implemented. Meanwhile, banks are not waiting for regulation; JPMorgan has processed over $30 trillion in transactions through the Kinexys platform and launched the deposit token JPMD, while Citigroup operates cross-border Treasury token services. A clearinghouse, in collaboration with 17 major financial institutions, plans to achieve on-chain tokenized deposit clearing by 2027.The article argues that the interoperability of interbank tokenized deposits does not come from messaging standards or token bridges, but is realized through clearing mechanisms: the sending bank redeems tokens, the receiving bank issues its own tokens, inter-institutional obligations are recorded and netted, and ultimately settled in central bank currency. The engineering challenge lies in simultaneously satisfying privacy, neutrality, and verifiability; each institution must operate its own ledger, prove transfers through cryptography without exposing underlying data, and anchor to a neutral settlement facility owned by no participants.The author notes that the Clarity Act will not directly regulate tokenized deposits, but it can clarify the boundaries of the digital asset market and improve the stablecoin framework established by the GENIUS Act. The Global Financial Markets Association's report in April 2026 lists unresolved gaps such as unified processing of cross-border tokenized deposits and guidelines for off-network transfers, which are regulatory unlocking points for interbank tokenized fund interoperability. In the face of regulatory uncertainty, banks rationally choose to isolate, and each month of delay rewards closed gardens.

According to The Block, the rescheduling date for Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm has been postponed to April 26, 2027, because the motion for his release on bail is still under review.Previously, U.S. prosecutors had pushed for the rescheduling to take place in October 2026. Tornado Cash is a mixing protocol in the Ethereum ecosystem, and Roman Storm, as one of the core developers, has faced judicial proceedings due to related charges. This schedule adjustment is directly related to the progress of his motion hearing.

Xpeng Motors (NYSE: XPEV) robotics subsidiary has signed a share purchase agreement with investors, aiming to raise over $900 million, with a post-investment valuation exceeding $6.3 billion. Xpeng stated that this is the largest single financing completed by a Chinese company in the robotics field to date. The financing round was led by IDG Capital, with strategic follow-on investments from Tencent and Alibaba, and participation from Gao Rong Capital and others.In terms of financing structure, external investors contributed approximately $600 million, Xpeng's subsidiary contributed about $200 million, and CEO He Xiaopeng along with co-president Gu Hongdi's related entities contributed around $100 million. Xpeng will retain about 82% of the controlling stake and consolidate this business. The funds will be used for the research and development of the flagship humanoid robot IRON, the construction of embodied intelligence and data capabilities, as well as mass production and business expansion aimed for the end of 2026. IRON is equipped with Xpeng's self-developed robotics and AI-specific chips.This subsidiary is part of Xpeng's robotics platform Dogotix (Xpeng robotic dog/humanoid robot related entities). Alibaba and Tencent had previously participated as Pre-IPO investors in the financing of the Chinese humanoid robotics company Yushu Technology.

The Ethereum community has released a deposit contract EIP proposal that supports post-quantum computing. The proposal aims to introduce a new contract that supports variable-length public keys and credential metadata, along with a clear scheme identifier, where scheme 0 is reserved for the current BLS deposits.The new contract no longer relies on the Merkle tree structure of the old deposit contract but instead passes deposit information to the consensus layer through execution requests derived from EIP-7685 logs. This contract features an irreversible mode controlled by protocol system calls: deposits are initially disabled, BLS deposits are enabled at a specified timestamp, and BLS deposits are permanently disabled at a later timestamp, with no option for re-enabling. During the migration period, the execution client must merge deposit requests from the new and old contracts.

The recovery test of SpaceX's Starship is at a critical stage. Although the recovery of the first-stage booster has been successful multiple times, the recovery of the second-stage spacecraft has not yet been achieved. Musk recently announced that the recovery plan for the Starship second-stage spacecraft, originally scheduled for late August, may be postponed until the end of the year or early next year.
