: Asset management giant BlackRock has announced the launch of two tokenized money market products: the BlackRock Select Treasury Based Liquidity Fund (BSTBL) and the BlackRock Daily Reinvestment Stablecoin Reserve Vehicle (BRSRV). BSTBL will offer Ethereum-based tokenized shares of an existing money market fund. These on-chain shares can be transferred between approved wallets, subject to regulatory compliance. BNY Mellon will serve as the transfer agent and tokenization service provider for BSTBL. BRSRV, meanwhile, is a new tokenized money market fund designed for digital-native institutional investors, supporting daily dividend reinvestment and multi-blockchain access, and can be used for a variety of digital asset applications, including stablecoin reserve management. Securitize will serve as the transfer agent and tokenization service provider for this fund.
Odaily News: Bitcoin wallet service provider Nunchuk has issued an important update regarding the recent Coldcard security incident, recommending that users with multisig wallets containing Coldcard-generated keys migrate their funds as soon as possible.Nunchuk has categorized response levels based on the number of affected Coldcard keys in a multisig wallet: if the number of Coldcard-generated keys has reached the signing threshold, attackers could theoretically transfer funds directly, and such users should migrate immediately; if the wallet contains only 1 Coldcard-generated key and it is below the signing threshold, a single compromised key cannot move funds independently, making the risk relatively lower, but migration is still strongly recommended. If users cannot confirm the exact number of Coldcard keys in their wallet, they should treat it as a high-risk situation.Additionally, Nunchuk announced that an upcoming mobile update will automatically enable the Slipstream channel for paid users. At that point, any auxiliary multisig wallet transaction containing at least one Coldcard key will bypass the public mempool and be submitted via Slipstream, reducing the risk of transaction monitoring and replacement. For users who wish to act immediately or for free-tier users, Nunchuk offers a manual migration option: users need to create a migration transaction, complete multisig signing without broadcasting, and then submit the raw transaction data to the Slipstream platform.

Odaily News, OpenAI released research findings stating that its next-generation AI model, Astra, has made progress in mathematics and theoretical computer science, covering fields such as high-dimensional geometry, coding theory, group theory, quantum complexity, post-quantum cryptography, and extremal combinatorics. The 10 results published cover: the high-dimensional sphere packing problem, binary and spherical coding problems, non-sofic group problems, Connes rigidity conjecture, arithmetic circuit complexity problems, quantum parallel repetition problems, the closest vector problem, Ehrhart volume conjecture, multicolor Ramsey number problems, and extremal graph theory conjectures.According to reports, these results were derived by an internal version of the Astra model, with the computational cost of finding solutions amounting to approximately $2,000 (calculated based on Sol API pricing). Subsequently, human researchers used the same model to help compile the results into papers and generated verifiable proof certificates through the Lean formal proof system.
Odaily News: The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a fraud alert on July 30, warning that scammers are mailing counterfeit IRS notices requiring cryptocurrency holders to register through a non-existent "Digital Asset Compliance Portal" before an urgent deadline.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and cybersecurity firm Darktower traced the related infrastructure to a domain registered through a Hong Kong-based registrar shortly before the letters were distributed. Investigators found that the website is hosted in Romania, on a network previously associated with phishing pages impersonating financial institutions.

Odaily News: Former US Congressman George Santos has reached a settlement with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The CFTC stated that Santos engaged in manipulative trading behavior while trading a prediction contract on Kalshi regarding whether he would attend the State of the Union address in February 2026, profiting over $17,500 from the trades.According to the CFTC's Friday announcement, Santos is required to pay $35,000 as part of the settlement, but neither admitted nor denied the regulator's findings.The CFTC stated that in the two weeks leading up to the State of the Union address, Santos repeatedly made public comments about whether he would attend the event, causing significant fluctuations in the price of the event contract. For example, while holding a "Yes" position indicating he would attend, he posted on X asking what he should wear to the State of the Union. Within hours, the price of the Yes position rose, after which Santos closed his position for a profit.The CFTC also alleged that Santos subsequently continued to post updates about his travel to Washington, D.C., including flights and train rides, and profited by trading back and forth based on market reactions to his public statements. The CFTC stated that Santos's conduct was intentional, or at least reckless. He traded in an event contract whose underlying outcome he could influence, and affected the contract price through misleading public statements or omissions of information, thereby profiting from his trading positions.Santos's attorney, Joseph W. Murray, stated in Friday's announcement that the State of the Union contract was Santos's first foray into prediction market betting.

: In response to recent reports that "AI stock god Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness Fund is seeking new capital support," well-known investment research firm Citrini officially commented on X platform: "If you are an LP of Situational Awareness, you invested in the fund based on information from its offering memo, such as 'AI is the only thing that matters, and if you recognize this and wish to invest in a vehicle that expresses this view by going all-in long on the most leveraged expression of our most optimistic AI thesis in the stock market, then you invest.' Not just because you're bullish on AI, but because you believe Leopold is one of the few 'hundreds' / knows these 'hundreds' who will bring about the machine god by 2030. And then, over the next two years, this fund did exactly what it promised. And it went up. Probably over 20x, if I recall correctly.Again, in this scenario, you are the person who read 'Situational Awareness' (that paper) and said: 'Yes, I agree AI is more powerful than nuclear bombs and will turn the world upside down before the end of this decade. And I want to put my investment into the hedge fund version of that thesis.' Now those stocks have fallen, so the fund's assets have also fallen.Let me ask you—do these LPs look like the type of people who would turn bearish on AI just because SK Hynix dropped 50% in six weeks? The kind who likely view the level of tech optimism akin to 'I'm going long TQQQ' as normal people treat municipal bond fund investments?Yeah... I wouldn't expect many of them to be calling Mr. Ash Burner to complain right now. Some people don't realize how insane a 2200% gain since inception (2024) really is. To put it in perspective, if you invested $100 million when SALP launched and lost ninety percent (of those gains) in July, your investment would still be worth $230 million today.I think LPs are very likely to buy the dip. Situational Awareness will get the money they're asking for. And once the capital is in, they will unwind their (likely short-term) hedges because they won't face the risk of being liquidated by their prime broker. This means the market makers who sold them those hedges will have to delta-hedge their unwind on what could be a fairly significant notional exposure. At the same time, they will deploy these funds into what they see as 'the best buying opportunity since April 2025.' I don't think Leopold is in trouble; rather, it's more likely he can raise the capital he needs, meaning it's more probable Leopold triggers a market bottom than drives AI stocks lower.If there's something I'm missing that would cause this group of AI super-believers—who are likely still significantly profitable on their SALP investment—to decide they'd rather not buy the dip, then yeah, any stock that even smells of AI might head straight to hell. But... (that's not the reality).”
