The Web3 fitness protocol BRT.Fit has released a transparency statement, currently in the product testing and ecosystem validation phase. Application functions and validation methods may be adjusted based on testing results. The test token tBRT is only used for economic model validation and does not represent the official token value, nor does it constitute an investment product or guarantee of future returns. Its "mandatory exercise protocol" is an incentive and commitment mechanism that users voluntarily join, helping to develop exercise habits through verifiable data, without physical compulsion.After the official mainnet launch, core functions such as token staking, rewards, and burning will be executed through on-chain smart contracts, with contract addresses and audit reports to be disclosed gradually. The project plans to support mainstream wearable devices such as Apple Watch, WHOOP, and Xiaomi, Huawei, and will continue to optimize the anti-cheating system. The project team reminds that digital assets carry significant volatility risks, participation does not guarantee returns, and users should refer to official announcements, remaining vigilant against counterfeiting and phishing activities.

According to BeInCrypto, Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat and chairman of Bitmine, stated that AI funds are rotating from the storage chip sector to Ethereum. He cited data showing that the relative performance of Ethereum compared to the Roundhill Memory ETF (DRAM) has widened to 72 percentage points since June 25—Ethereum has risen 24%, while the DRAM ETF has fallen 38%.The DRAM ETF was launched in April this year and is the first fund to invest solely in storage chip manufacturers, with SK Hynix and Samsung accounting for about 41% of its weight. The fund raised $6.5 billion in 27 trading days, setting a record for the fastest ETF issuance. Lee pointed out that BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund and applications like Robinhood Chain are all built on Ethereum, which forms the institutional bullish logic for Ethereum.

Vitalik posted on the X platform stating that a new type of "high-level programming language" worth trying is a language compiled to Lean (or HOL, etc.), focusing on making it as easy as possible for humans to read definitions and theorems. Rather than proofs, because proofs only need to be correct, the key lies in the definitions and theorems themselves. The envisioned use is that AI outputs a large segment of proof, and the reader needs to understand as easily as possible which precise claims have actually been proven in these outputs.

According to Decrypt, Galaxy Digital has officially launched the "Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Program," which has three core pillars: providing up to $5 million in post-quantum cryptography research grants to developers, publishing special research reports through Galaxy Research, and establishing a quantum advisory committee composed of scholars from several top universities.The program aims at "Q-Day"—the critical moment when quantum computers use Shor's algorithm to break Bitcoin's elliptic curve encryption, forge signatures, and steal wallet assets. Project Eleven predicts that quantum computers capable of cryptographic threats may appear as early as 2030, at which point approximately 6.9 million BTC will be at risk of exposure.The Coinbase Quantum Advisory Committee has also called for developers to immediately begin migration efforts. Meanwhile, Trump has signed an executive order setting the deadline for the U.S. federal government to complete its post-quantum cryptography migration by December 2031.

According to the official website of the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), the CVM officially established the Security Tokenization Working Group (GTT) on July 17, 2026, aiming to conduct research, testing, and regulatory framework development around Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), covering aspects such as the registration, custody, trading, and clearing of securities.The initial operating period of the working group is 120 days, which can be extended by 30 days, gathering representatives from 14 departments within the CVM, and will invite government agencies, self-regulatory organizations, and market experts to participate. The first task is to submit an experimental regulatory framework proposal for security tokenization to the CVM committee within 60 days of its establishment. CVM Chairman Otto Lobo stated that tokenization is one of the most important structural changes in the capital market and requires equally innovative regulatory responses.

According to ETNews, the South Korean government has released the "Korean Won Internationalization Roadmap," aiming to transform the Korean won from a regulated currency to a freely convertible currency and to establish an offshore Korean won settlement network.It is reported that the Bank of Korea will launch the "Offshore Korean Won Settlement Network" (tentative name), which is expected to undergo trial operation in September this year and officially start in January next year. At the same time, it will also build digital asset payment infrastructure to lay the foundation for the issuance, distribution, and trading of Korean won-denominated stablecoins, with plans to launch a pilot project next year to promote the tokenization of government bonds linked to the central bank digital currency (CBDC) of the Bank of Korea.In addition, South Korea will officially join the cross-border digital payment project "Agora," led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and involving the central banks of eight countries.

According to FinanceFeeds, security researchers have discovered an information-stealing malware targeting macOS devices that is attacking cryptocurrency users. This malware can hijack Telegram Desktop sessions, steal passwords and wallet databases, further controlling user accounts and stealing digital assets. Currently affected wallets and applications include software wallets like Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Wasabi, and Monero.The malware is capable of extracting sensitive information from macOS Keychain, Safari Cookies, Apple Notes, Telegram Desktop, and multiple cryptocurrency wallet-related databases, including login credentials, authenticated session files, wallet data, and browser extension information. Security analysis points out that the danger of this attack chain lies in its reliance not on a single wallet vulnerability, but on collecting various types of data from the device, linking device intrusion, account takeover, wallet cracking, and mnemonic phrase theft together. Among these, Telegram Desktop sessions have become a key target.Attackers can copy authenticated Telegram local session data and restore the login on another Mac device without needing to enter a phone number, verification code, or Telegram two-factor authentication password. This means that Telegram 2FA cannot provide complete protection in this attack scenario, as the attacker is not performing a new login but is exploiting an already trusted local session. For cryptocurrency users, the risks are further amplified. Since Telegram is widely used for exchange customer service, project communities, OTC trading, and wallet communication, once attackers gain access to user session permissions, they could impersonate the victim, read private chats, locate asset information, and even spread malicious links to contacts.

Programmer Stefan Thomas holds an IronKey encrypted USB drive containing the private keys for 7,002 bitcoins, which were earned as a reward for his 2011 educational video "What is Bitcoin?" Recently valued at approximately $111,000 each, this amounts to about $777 million.The IronKey device is set to permanently lock and delete its contents after 10 incorrect password attempts. Thomas has tried 8 times and has only 2 attempts left. The manufacturer Kingston stated that there are no backup passwords or alternative recovery methods aside from the original password set by the user. Thomas has sought assistance from the digital forensics company Naxo and security researcher Chris Tarnovsky, and he previously declined Unciphered due to having reached a verbal agreement with both teams. As of the end of 2025, the IronKey remains stored in a Swiss vault, with no confirmation of a successful recovery by mid-2026.

According to Xinhua News Agency, as the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the High-Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence are about to be held, the new generation model Kimi K3 was released on the 16th, with a parameter scale of 28 trillion. This is currently the largest open-source model in the world by parameters, marking a new step in the development of artificial intelligence models in our country.Beijing Moon's Dark Side Technology Co., Ltd., which released the model, introduced that Kimi K3 natively supports visual understanding, has a context window of 1 million tokens, and is optimized for complex task scenarios such as software engineering, knowledge work, deep research, and multimodal understanding, further enhancing the processing capability of large models for complex tasks. It is understood that in evaluations, Kimi K3's comprehensive intelligence level is close to that of the world's leading closed-source models. A relevant person in charge of Moon's Dark Side stated that in the process of training the new generation foundational model Kimi K3, they used a self-developed underlying model architecture and accumulated a complete set of scientific model training methods.

According to the latest report released by market research firm Counterpoint Research, Chinese memory chip giant Changxin Technology (CXMT) currently holds a 9% share of the global DRAM market (by bit shipments), and this figure is expected to rise to 11% by 2028 (with a revenue share of 9%). The report indicates that Changxin Technology is transitioning from an industry "challenger" to a "strategic player," with a long-term goal of achieving a bit shipment share of 20% and a revenue share of 15% by 2035.However, the report emphasizes that to truly establish a foothold in the global memory market and join the ranks of the "big three DRAM manufacturers," Changxin Technology must cross the global market share threshold of 15% to 17% (about one-sixth). Historical experience shows that in 2008, Taiwanese DRAM manufacturers could not secure the massive funding needed for the research and development of the next generation of fabs after their market share fell below 15%, ultimately causing their market share to plummet to the edge of 3%. Therefore, the 15% share is seen as the core survival line for Changxin Technology to ensure sustainable development and self-sustaining capabilities in the medium to long term.To cross this threshold, Changxin Technology is leveraging newly raised funds to accelerate capacity expansion, planning to double its capacity by 2030 and triple it by 2035. Although facing external challenges such as U.S. equipment export controls and global supply chain access, analysts believe these restrictions may instead act as catalysts, forcing Changxin Technology to accelerate independent innovation in cutting-edge technologies such as Vertical Channel Transistors (VCT) and Wafer-on-Wafer bonding, thereby narrowing the gap with industry leaders.

According to the Financial Times, informed sources reveal that the Chinese AI unicorn company Moonshot AI plans to release a new large language model, Kimi K3, in the near future. This model has between 20 trillion to 30 trillion parameters, making it the largest AI model in China by parameter scale, and its performance is expected to surpass the flagship model Claude Opus 4.8 from Anthropic in mainstream benchmark tests (industry speculation suggests its parameter count is around 15 trillion to 20 trillion).Unlike the currently mainstream closed-source and expensive cutting-edge large models in the United States, Kimi K3 will be available as an open-weight model for users to download and modify for free, which may create competitive pressure for leading American labs like OpenAI and Anthropic. Currently, due to the rising service fees for large models in the U.S. (for example, Anthropic has announced a 50% price increase for Opus 4.8 in September), some overseas companies have begun to shift towards using more cost-effective Chinese open-source models.In terms of the capital market, informed sources indicate that Moonshot AI is preparing for a new round of financing, with the latest valuation expected to reach approximately $31.5 billion. Meanwhile, the valuations of other AI giants in China and the U.S. are also rising; DeepSeek is starting a new round of financing with an estimated valuation of about $71 billion, while Anthropic and OpenAI have reached valuations of $965 billion and $852 billion, respectively, in their latest round of financing. In response to the aforementioned release and financing rumors, Moonshot AI has currently declined to comment.
