Odaily reports: Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner at crypto-focused venture capital firm Dragonfly, has proposed that under current rules, the Zcash development fund should cease operations after its expiration in 2028.Qureshi wrote: "I think this should be the last development fund." He stated that the current fund size is already sufficient to support Zcash's remaining development work, and as the fund's value approaches $100 million, it may face "politicization" risks in the future. According to ZecStats data, as of press time, the Zcash development fund holds 63,962 ZEC, worth approximately $95 million.These remarks come amid ongoing industry discussions about the growing size of the development fund. The previous rise in ZEC's price drove a significant increase in the fund's value. Some also argue that Zcash should continue to maintain the development fund. Paradigm founder Matt Huang said on Wednesday that against the backdrop of improving AI network attack capabilities and the rapid development of quantum computing, the fund is particularly important.
Odaily reports: According to official sources, the AIA Ecosystem Fund has announced four updates to the AIA ecosystem, including the official launch of its product, alignment of token and equity value, execution of token burns and unlocks as planned, and the voiding of unvested tokens for terminated members.On the product front, DeAgentAI's AI Token Smart Router officially launched to the public today, providing unified access to DeAgentAI's proprietary models and 38 mainstream third-party models, with support for model routing, API calls, and usage metering. Since its beta launch, the platform has served 8 B2B clients, processed over 54 million external model calls, and surpassed $1 million in monthly revenue.Regarding token and equity value alignment, the AIA Ecosystem Fund stated that revenue generated by all DeAgentAI products and business lines, along with related intellectual property and value, will belong exclusively to the Foundation and be governed by $AIA holders, with equity investors no longer entitled to residual cash flows. Additionally, the previously disclosed buyback has been fully completed, and the repurchased tokens will be burned as planned.The AIA Ecosystem Fund also stated that the 1-year lock-up period for investor, team, and advisor allocations has ended, entering a 3-year linear release period, consistent with the arrangement disclosed at launch; community, ecosystem, and staking allocations will still follow the original schedule. Former employees who departed normally will receive their allocations as agreed. However, given that certain former team members have engaged in serious illegal and criminal behavior, the AIA Ecosystem Fund explicitly stated a zero-tolerance policy toward any actions that harm the interests of the project and community. Any team member terminated due to misconduct or actions detrimental to the project's interests will have their unvested $AIA immediately voided, and the company reserves the right to pursue criminal liability.

Bitget Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng has released an open letter on the occasion of the platform's eighth anniversary.

Data shows that as of September 2026, Bitget has consecutively published 46 PoR reports. In his letter, Hon Ng noted, "Growth and responsibility are never two separate pursuits."

Bybit officially launched the TradFi Perp Option today, using stock perpetual contracts as the underlying asset to combine option structures with the 24/7 liquidity of the crypto market, filling the gaps in traditional financial options regarding trading hours and entry thresholds. The product initially supports TSLA and NVDA starting September 17, and will expand to underlyings such as QQQ, SOXL, MU, SKHY, SPCX, and SNDK.

According to monitoring by PPP prediction market tool, the probability on Polymarket of "the next Grok model (4.7 and above) being released before September 18" is now reported at 15%, down 38% in 24 hours.If, between the market's creation and September 18, SpaceXAI releases the next Grok model to the public and its version number reaches 4.7 or above, the market resolves as "Yes"; otherwise, it resolves as "No."Qualifying models must simultaneously meet the following conditions: the name or model identifier must include "Grok," and the version number must be 4.7 or higher—for example, Grok 4.7, Grok 4.7 Heavy, and Grok 5 all count; Grok 4.6 and its updated, snapshot, or promotional versions do not count. Standalone product lines such as Grok Code Fast and Grok Imagine also do not count, nor do the version numbers of the App or website itself.In addition, the model must genuinely be open to the public. Public testing or a rolling waitlist that anyone can apply to join may count, but closed beta, private invitations, or internal access do not count. It also does not count if text such as "Grok 4.7" merely appears on the website but the model is in fact not publicly usable.The main basis for judgment is official information from SpaceXAI, supplemented by credible media reports for verification.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.

Helius co-founder Mert Mumtaz posted on the X platform, stating that Zcash’s privacy features not only address privacy needs but also help build a more robust internet-native store-of-value asset. Because on-chain funds exposed on public ledgers carry historical transaction records, different tokens may not be fully fungible due to variations in their origins; privacy mechanisms can minimize the impact of fund history on holders, enhancing fungibility, liquidity, and safe-haven properties. He believes that, combined with quantum-resistant security and performance upgrades, privacy will become a critical foundation for Zcash’s monetary attributes.
