Odaily News: Gate Research has released its latest report on Gate TradFi connecting global markets, noting that the four markets—US, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong—have different sources of returns: US stocks rely on corporate earnings and technology investment, Japanese stocks benefit from governance reform and improved capital efficiency, Korean stocks are primarily driven by the semiconductor cycle, and Hong Kong stocks depend on Chinese corporate earnings, capital flows, and changes in risk premiums.Since 2016, US and Korean stocks have delivered similar annualized returns, but Korean stocks have notably higher volatility and drawdowns; Japanese stocks offer some diversification value, while Hong Kong stocks have undergone a longer valuation recovery cycle. Backtesting shows that cross-market diversification can reduce reliance on any single market, and trend rotation can help improve drawdowns, but neither can eliminate systemic risk, and higher turnover may increase trading costs.Gate TradFi incorporates US, Japanese, Korean, and Hong Kong stocks into a unified stock account, covering over 10,000 US stocks and ETFs, more than 1,500 Hong Kong stocks, over 1,000 Korean stocks, and approximately 300 Japanese stocks, totaling coverage of more than 12,800 stock and ETF assets globally. The platform further connects index, forex, and metals market data, enabling investors to conduct cross-regional market comparisons, asset screening, and portfolio management within the same trading environment, expanding multi-asset observation and trading scenarios.
According to an official announcement from the Ethereum Foundation, the Ethereum Glamsterdam network upgrade has been confirmed to activate on the Sepolia testnet at 13:53:36 UTC on October 6, 2026 (Epoch 353,024), with activation times for Hoodi and the mainnet yet to be determined. Glamsterdam combines the Amsterdam execution layer and Gloas consensus layer upgrades. Core changes include introducing embedded proposer-builder separation (ePBS, EIP-7732), incorporating the block building process into the consensus protocol to reduce reliance on middleware; adding block-level access lists (BALs, EIP-7928) to enable clients to read state in parallel and verify transactions in parallel, thereby improving execution throughput. Additionally, the upgrade adjusts the gas pricing mechanism (EIP-8037/8038) to more accurately reflect the actual costs of state creation and access, requiring application developers to test their contracts to adapt to the new rules. Currently confirmed client versions supporting Sepolia activation include: consensus layer Lodestar 1.49.0, Prysm 7.2.0, Teku 26.9.1; execution layer Besu 26.9.0, Erigon 3.7.0, go-ethereum 1.17.6, Nethermind 2.0.0, Reth 2.7.0. Node operators must update simultaneously before activation.

According to CoinDesk, Bitcoin Core 32.0 entered its final testing phase on September 14, with its official release scheduled for October 10. This update adds a transaction fee estimator based on real-time mempool status, enabling fee estimates to be lowered more quickly once network congestion subsides. It also enables multi-threaded parallel reading of transaction data to speed up node blockchain synchronization, defaulting to 8 threads. Security-wise, it resolves a wallet naming vulnerability on non-Windows systems since version 24.0 that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the node host via a specially crafted wallet name. Additionally, it patches an out-of-memory vulnerability in the newly added built-in web server; testing indicates that 16 unauthenticated connections can spike node memory usage from 46MB to roughly 3GB in approximately one minute. This update does not include any changes to Bitcoin's consensus rules.

According to CoinShares’ Q2 Bitcoin Mining Report, even as Bitcoin prices continue to rebound, publicly listed miners that have already pivoted to AI infrastructure are highly unlikely to return to mining operations. The report indicates that AI infrastructure yields approximately $1.5 million in profit per megawatt, roughly triple that of Bitcoin mining (around $500,000), highlighting a stark economic disparity. Currently, at least 35 EH/s of hash rate (representing about 4.7% of the network’s total 750 EH/s) is slated to exit the publicly listed mining sector, with companies such as Core Scientific, IREN, Cipher Digital, and TeraWulf having sequentially announced either full exits or scaling back of mining operations. Given that some AI hosting agreements extend up to 15 years, this transformation is largely irreversible.

According to the official ZKsync X account (@zksync), ZKsync has announced a security upgrade for its EraVM chain. Core measures include introducing an instant upgrade framework, extending the proving delay from 3 hours to 24 hours, and deploying a second prover, EraBender, to defend against AI-driven vulnerability attacks. Over the next six months, all Boojum/EraVM chains will gradually phase out the legacy execution environment, with each chain formulating and publishing its own transition schedule. Users who hold funds directly in EOAs do not need to take any action at this time. Users who hold funds through smart contracts such as multisigs, smart accounts, DEXs, and lending protocols must take action as required once the transition plans for their respective chains are finalized. The ZKsync Atlas chain remains unaffected by this upgrade.
Odaily News: Blockchain project Core DAO has announced a coordinated emergency hard fork, caused by validators receiving CORE rewards exceeding the blockchain's originally scheduled issuance. Core DAO stated that the incident is under control, malicious validators can no longer continue to obtain excess rewards, and the upgrade will not roll back the network or revoke confirmed transactions.Core DAO previously stated that a small number of validators had accumulated rewards significantly higher than the protocol's set issuance, and that the incident only involved reward distribution, with user assets remaining secure. Coinbase, Bithumb, Coinone, Bitget, and LBank had restricted CORE deposits, withdrawals, or transfers.Core DAO has not yet disclosed the amount of excess CORE issued, the duration of the related activity, whether the extra tokens entered circulation, or the cause of the vulnerability, and stated that it will publish a technical post-mortem report.
