Odaily reports: A Fox Business crypto reporter posted on X that U.S. Senate Republicans have released an updated text of the CLARITY Act following negotiations during the August recess. The ethics section appears unchanged, and the BRCA and stablecoin yield sections also remain the same. The updates include: requiring non-decentralized DeFi protocols to register with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission; limiting DeFi provisions to spot or cash digital commodity transactions, seemingly aimed at addressing tribes' concerns about blockchain-based prediction markets; and clarifying the authority of credit unions to conduct cryptocurrency business.

According to an official post from a16z crypto, a16z crypto has officially released Lattice Jolt, a new version of its open-source zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) that fully transitions its underlying cryptography from elliptic curves to a lattice architecture, achieving post-quantum security while significantly boosting performance. Key highlights include: • Performance improvement: Proof generation speed increased by 2-3 times, reaching up to 2 million RV64IMAC cycles per second in CPU mode, and breaking through 10 million cycles per second with MacBook GPU acceleration (Apple Metal); • Smallest proof size: Proof footprint is under 100 KB, significantly outperforming other post-quantum zkVMs with sizes ranging from 200 KB to 600 KB; • Memory optimization: Memory consumption per cycle reduced from approximately 300 bytes to 200 bytes, supporting proof generation for millions of RISC-V cycles on mobile devices; • Security: Based on the standard Module-SIS assumption, providing a complete 128-bit security strength, sharing the same assumption framework as ML-DSA and ML-KEM; • New commitment scheme: The Akita polynomial commitment scheme, jointly developed by LayerZero in collaboration with institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Southern California, replaces the original Dory scheme. a16z crypto also pointed out that hash-based SNARKs are widespread...

According to Chaotiang Research, a Goldman Sachs research report dated September 8, 2026 notes that Broadcom reaffirmed its FY27/FY28 AI revenue targets of $115 billion and $230 billion at the CommunaCopia conference, stating that supply, not demand, remains the primary constraint. Land acquisition, power capacity, and facility construction for data centers represent the true bottlenecks to AI deployment, whereas supply chain constraints remain relatively manageable. Broadcom’s $35 billion XPV partnership with Blackstone and Apollo can support over 20 gigawatts of AI compute capacity while capping Broadcom’s direct financial exposure. A 1-gigawatt AI cluster generates approximately $30 billion in annual revenue, with annual operating costs of around $10 billion. Broadcom believes that the economic value of AI primarily flows to the owners of frontier models. Annual industry training expenditure stands at approximately $200 billion. Frontier models capture roughly 75% of industry revenue ($120 billion in revenue against $100 billion in costs), while open-source models generate only about $30 billion in revenue despite similar investment levels. Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating, setting a target price of $540 based on 30x normalized earnings per share of $18, implying approximately 51% upside from the current stock price.
Odaily News: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar stated that the company is accelerating the expansion of AI into specialized fields such as chip design, life sciences, and financial services, and is experimenting with pricing based on business outcomes rather than usage. OpenAI's enterprise business revenue grew 32% from June to July this year, while the company's overall annualized revenue increased approximately 20% during the same period. As of mid-year, revenue from enterprise and consumer businesses had split roughly evenly.Additionally, OpenAI recently cut the price of its low-cost Luna model by 80%, which was followed by an approximate 10-fold increase in usage. Friar noted that in cloud deployment scenarios, Luna's cost is even lower than Z.ai's GLM 5.3. OpenAI's coding tool Codex has now reached 25 million users. The company is also leveraging its own AI models to assist in developing the Jalapeno chip and completed chip design tape-out within nine months. (Reuters)

Odaily News: The decentralized lending protocol Secured Finance's lending market was attacked on September 5, resulting in a loss of approximately $104,000. The root cause was that collateral was priced based on the average execution price of the order book for the current block, allowing attackers to influence the price through self-trading, causing fraudulent lending positions to be counted as valid collateral. The attacker initially deployed the contract but did not execute immediately, then used flash loans and self-trading to inflate the price and withdraw USDC. The original attacking wallet was rolled back due to insufficient gas fees; approximately 48 seconds later, the general-purpose sandwich bot coffeebabe took about 0.9 WBTC, worth approximately $72,000, and transferred about 28.8 ETH of it to the ultra sound money builder, keeping only about $29 for itself. Subsequently, another bot took part of the USDC.
According to monitoring by the PPP Prediction Market Tool, in the Polymarket event "Will the Fed keep rates unchanged in September?", an account that has accumulated losses exceeding $50,000 (0x011175c87089797b1c5bebcfb6d501b4c51d60f7) purchased $74,600 in positions betting that the Fed will hold rates steady in September, with an average entry price of 53.6¢ and a total of 153,845.8 shares acquired.Per the settlement rules, this market will settle based on the interest rate decision following the Fed's FOMC meeting in September 2026. If the actual rate adjustment does not fall within the existing options, it will be rounded up to the nearest 25 basis points—for instance, a 12.5 basis point cut or hike will be counted as a 25 basis point move. If no relevant statement is released before the meeting concludes, the event will settle as "No Change." The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for September 15-16, 2026.Join the PPP Signal Push Community to stay one step ahead and seize the opportunity.
