Analyst: US AI Race Difficult to "Slow Down," Safety Regulation May Instead Entrench Leading Labs' Advantage
Odaily News: Citrini analyst Jukan shared a research report from Tianfeng Securities and stated that the US government needs to maintain its leading position in AI, so once it enters the AI race, it is very difficult to truly stop. Jukan believes that recent calls by Anthropic and OpenAI to slow down AI development cannot be viewed merely as safety initiatives; behind them may simultaneously lie multiple considerations, including the inability to slow the competition and the desire to entrench leading advantages through safety regulation.Jukan further pointed out that the relevant "AI slowdown" calls ostensibly stem from safety testing, operational monitoring, and third-party verification being unable to keep pace with model iteration speed, which in the short term may suppress market sentiment in the AI sector and lower market expectations for next-generation models. Another possibility is that the industry remains bullish on AI in the long term but wants to postpone the next round of large-scale R&D investment, prioritize commercializing existing products, and reduce pressure on infrastructure and capital expenditure. He believes the AI race is essentially akin to a "prisoner's dilemma" — all parties want to slow down, but none dares to be the first to stop, lest they lose their technological, customer, and financing advantages.Jukan also noted that Anthropic and OpenAI's recent emphasis on recursive self-improvement (RSI) is related to AI having already begun assisting in the development of next-generation AI, accelerating model iteration speed. Meanwhile, in OpenAI's internal testing, incidents reportedly occurred in which Agents collaborated to escape the sandbox and intrude into Hugging Face production servers. Jukan believes that as model releases require bearing expensive evaluation, certification, and continuous auditing costs, large labs are better positioned to absorb these fixed costs, while smaller teams may face higher barriers to entry as a result. If leading labs further participate in setting evaluation standards, industry barriers may continue to rise.
Bonk Guy Attacked by STONK Community: Buying EMBER Is Not a Challenge to STONK
Odaily News: Well-known trader Bonk Guy responded on X to the STONK community's questioning of his purchase of EMBER, saying that some community members believed his buying another Launchpad token meant he was trying to challenge STONK's industry position, a reaction he called "extremely exaggerated." He pointed out that STONK's second-largest holder had previously bought EMBER at a $2.8 million market cap and remained bullish for several days without being questioned, while after he bought EMBER at a valuation about 6 times that holder's entry price, he was treated as "the villain," which clearly reflects a double standard.Bonk Guy emphasized that he remains bullish on STONK and had publicly praised STONK even when he held no position, with that post now having over 400,000 views. He said that support for STONK from core teams in the Solana ecosystem is one of the biggest reasons he shifted back to a bullish outlook after being broadly bearish on the Solana ecosystem for months prior, and he believes that if one is bullish on STONK's long-term vision, this pullback caused by community controversy may instead be a buying opportunity.Bonk Guy said he has long mainly traded low-market-cap projects because he believes such assets offer a better risk-reward ratio, and he rarely buys large-market-cap tokens even when he is bullish on their future performance. He also said that his purchase of EMBER had no "PvP" (player versus player competition) intent, that STONK and EMBER can absolutely succeed at the same time, and that the view that "only one winner can exist in a sector" actually goes against the essence of the crypto industry.Bonk Guy also said that the STONK community's strong reaction this time actually demonstrates its community cohesion, and that competition and multiple projects winning together are good for the industry.
The RWA market on perpetual DEXs has surpassed 1,000, with US stock-like assets accounting for approximately 75%.
According to CryptoRank data, the number of real-world assets (RWA) markets offered by decentralized exchanges providing perpetual contracts has reached 1,000, marking the further expansion of on-chain derivatives from crypto-native assets to traditional financial assets. Publicly traded stocks remain dominant, accounting for approximately 75% of all RWA markets, indicating that tokenized stocks are becoming a key entry point for traditional financial assets to access perpetual contract trading.
Bonk Guy: PONS is the "best trade" this cycle, circulating market cap remains severely undervalued
Prominent trader Bonk Guy posted that PONS undoubtedly was and remains the best trade of this cycle. With PONS' circulating market cap reaching $590 million, the token's current valuation remains "extremely undervalued". (Note: As of press time, PONS' market cap has surpassed $600 million.) Bonk Guy previously revealed that among his key trades, PONS delivered an average entry return of 11,108% (approximately $7.5 million), while MICRODUCK, DELTA, MARSCOIN, USELESS, and BASECAT achieved returns of 1,111%, 894%, 405%, 356%, and 108%, respectively.
Gate Stock Market Development Lead: Crypto and Stocks Are Accelerating Convergence, Ushering in a Multi-Asset Investment Wave
Odaily News In a recent interview on Cointelegraph's program Chain Reaction, Lucas Sum, Head of Stock Market Development at Gate, stated that crypto and stocks are quietly converging and increasingly becoming part of the same macro trade. He pointed out that the correlation between the crypto market and the Nasdaq index is currently higher than the five-year average, with the correlation coefficient once exceeding 0.8. Market sentiment is generally cautious at present, with more funds staying in low-risk assets such as stablecoins, as investors await clearer catalysts.Lucas Sum believes that the core narrative of the next market cycle may no longer be "crypto vs. Wall Street," but rather traditional financial assets accelerating their entry into the digital financial system through on-chain infrastructure. The scale of RWA has grown from approximately $12 billion a year ago to over $30 billion, while the scale of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has also reached approximately $15 billion, indicating that on-chain financial infrastructure continues to expand. Meanwhile, macro liquidity, real yields, and regulatory clarity remain key factors influencing the performance of risk assets. Against this backdrop, investors' focus is shifting from single-asset allocation to coordinated allocation across multiple asset classes. Lucas Sum noted that Gate is continuously expanding its stock business, currently covering U.S., Hong Kong, and Korean stock markets, with plans to extend further into more global markets to provide the necessary infrastructure for multi-asset investment.

Trump: Pushing Hyperliquid to Enter the U.S. Market in a Compliant Manner
Odaily News – U.S. President Trump stated that his administration is pushing the decentralized perpetual contract trading platform Hyperliquid to enter the U.S. market in a "fully compliant and legal manner." Last month, Trump said the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) would work to facilitate Hyperliquid's entry into the U.S. market. Subsequently, Payward, the parent company of Kraken, announced it is cooperating with the CFTC to offer registered U.S. users certain crypto perpetual contract products related to Hyperliquid's market and its underlying Layer 1 blockchain through the CFTC-regulated platform Bitnomial.Nansen research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard believes this arrangement could allow Hyperliquid to provide some of its underlying technology, liquidity, or market design without directly opening its existing platform to U.S. users—essentially building a standalone U.S. market product around Hyperliquid's infrastructure. He noted that U.S. users may have access to fewer markets, lower leverage, and more conservative risk controls. At the same time, he opposes comprehensive KYC implementation, arguing that a one-size-fits-all KYC approach would undermine legitimate users' privacy and permissionless access rights, and would push liquidity toward offshore markets.

Four people killed in Mexico, suspects accused of stealing a cold wallet holding millions of dollars in Bitcoin
Odaily News: The State Attorney General's Office of Mexico (FGJEM) stated that two suspects are accused of killing four people in search of a cold wallet believed to contain millions of dollars in Bitcoin. The two are scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, where a judge will determine whether there is sufficient evidence to continue criminal proceedings.The surnames of suspects Diego Sebastián and Gerardo have not been disclosed. Prosecutors allege that the pair killed Jonathan Meléndez, keyboardist for the rock band Camilo Séptimo, his pregnant wife, their daughter, and an employee at a residence in the city of Atizapán de Zaragoza. The family's golden retriever was also killed.Mexico's Secretary of Security, Omar García Harfuch, stated that one of the suspects was a business partner of the victim and allegedly used that relationship to gain entry into the residence. If convicted, the two could face sentences ranging from 25 to 70 years in prison for each victim.Blockchain security firm CertiK reported that 52 violent coercion attacks against cryptocurrency holders were recorded globally in the first half of 2026, a 33.3% increase from 39 during the same period in 2025. Blockchain analysis company Chainalysis estimates that the value of stolen cryptocurrency from related attacks exceeded $30 million. (Cointelegraph)
SlowMist: Approximately 62.28 BNB Lost in Attack on a Router on BNB Chain
According to Odaily, as monitored by SlowMist, per the SlowMist TI security alert, a Router contract has been exploited due to security flaws in its Swap entry point and uniswapV3SwapCallback, resulting in losses of approximately 62.28 BNB. The Router fails to verify whether the caller is a legitimate V3 Pool, nor does it bind the payer in the callback to the original transaction context. The attacker forged a V3 Pool/adapter and injected a victim's address as the payer, exploiting users' existing ERC-20 approvals granted to the Router to execute transferFrom() and transfer assets. Users who have previously granted sufficient token approvals to this Router may see their approved assets transferred out, even without further interaction on their part.
Grayscale Research: Bitcoin Is Returning to Its "Currency Depreciation Trade" Attribute, Zcash May Become One of the Biggest Beneficiaries
According to the latest report released by Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl, as U.S. federal debt surpasses $40 trillion, Bitcoin's 90-day correlation with the Nasdaq 100 Index has dropped from over 60% to approximately 33%, while its correlation with gold has risen from near zero at the start of the year to above 50%, indicating that Bitcoin is shifting from a high-beta risk asset to an inflation-resistant store of value. Grayscale believes that expanding fiscal deficits and rising long-end interest rates will drive investors toward scarce alternative assets, positioning Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Zcash as primary beneficiaries. Among them, Zcash, featuring financial privacy, quantum resistance, and cross-chain interoperability, is considered to have the potential to challenge Bitcoin's network effect, despite its market capitalization currently accounting for less than 1% of Bitcoin's. Additionally, Grayscale notes that the current Bitcoin bear market has persisted for roughly 10 months, approaching the historical average bear market cycle of 11–12 months. Coupled with a macroeconomic environment that is becoming increasingly supportive, it suggests that current prices may represent a favorable entry point for long-term investors.
Galaxy Research Head: Coldcard Incident Shakes Bitcoin Community, Signaling a Turning Point in Security Philosophy
Odaily News, Galaxy Research Head Alex Thorn stated on the X platform that attacks exploiting the Coldcard hardware wallet vulnerability have noticeably declined, but cumulative losses continue to rise as more victims come forward. The impact of this incident on the Bitcoin community is significant, as the victims are primarily long-term BTC holders who adhered to self-custody cold storage principles, rather than those who lost assets due to high-risk trading or DeFi activities.At a scale of $112 million, this incident ranks among the top 20 largest hacks in crypto history and is one of the most severe security breaches in the hardware wallet self-custody sector to date. Bitcoin culture may be entering a new phase—the era of relying solely on ideological advocacy and extreme self-custody promotion is coming to an end. The community needs to place greater emphasis on technical security, lower the barrier to entry for users, and avoid simply shifting the burden of security responsibility onto ordinary users. This crisis may ultimately drive the Bitcoin ecosystem to establish a more mature security framework.Galaxy Research has directly contacted 190 victims and has confirmed with high confidence that the exploit has led to the theft of 1,778.84 BTC (approximately $112.7 million) from over 8,600 addresses. This tally does not yet include certain moderately credible suspicious attack records, such as the unconfirmed "Wave 4." If these potential attack scopes are incorporated, total losses could expand to 2,417.35 BTC (approximately $153 million).Meanwhile, the incident is reshaping market perceptions of self-custody security. Galaxy noted that multisig wallets have emerged as the "winners" of this event, with no stolen transactions traced to multisig wallets so far. Multisig service providers including Casa, Unchained, Nunchuk, and Anchorwatch have all observed a notable increase in user registrations and BTC inflows.

Euler takes over operations of HypurrFi's Mewler market, HypurrFi to gradually shut down and complete migration
Euler Finance announced it will take over the maintenance and operation of the Euler contract stack known as Mewler under HypurrFi on the Hyperliquid EVM. The relevant infrastructure is undergoing a smooth transition, with Clearstar Labs continuing to serve as the risk manager for the Prime, Yield, and Earn vaults. HypurrFi Scale and Pooled Markets are scheduled to gradually wind down and undergo orderly liquidation over the coming weeks. However, all existing markets remain solvent and fully operational, with no security vulnerabilities or emergency parameter adjustments.During the migration process, new borrowing functionality for some Pooled assets has been frozen, but HYPE, USDC, and USDT0 can still be used for liquidity provision to allow borrowers to gradually unwind their positions. Euler emphasized that its isolated lending architecture on HyperEVM will continue to serve as core infrastructure, jointly maintained by Euler and Clearstar Labs.The HypurrFi team stated that user deposits, positions, and collateral assets remain fully secure. This adjustment is an active strategic migration, not a security incident or protocol failure. According to the plan, Euler Prime and Yield markets will become the primary entry points for lending and yield markets on HyperEVM moving forward. The HypurrFi brand will be gradually phased out, with related support services closing after May 28. Full market liquidation is expected to be completed by July 15, 2026.HypurrFi also reminded users to be aware of risks and fraudulent links during the migration process, to operate only through official channels, and to use the built-in migration tools to transfer Pooled positions to Euler Prime or Yield markets.

Monitoring by the PPP prediction market tool shows that Polymarket's "Average number of ships transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait by end of September less than 25" probability is currently at 9%, down 38% in 24 hours.This is based on the ship transit data for the Bab el-Mandeb Strait published by IMF Portwatch, specifically the 7-day moving average of "Arrivals of Ships" on September 30, 2026.The statistical scope includes container ships, dry bulk carriers, roll-on/roll-off ships, general cargo ships, and tankers. Ships not tracked by IMF Portwatch are not included.If rounded figures in the chart versus the original unrounded figures in the downloadable file affect the final settlement result, the unrounded figures shall prevail.Settlement can occur once the data is published. If the corresponding data for September 30 is still not published within 14 calendar days thereafter, the latest available data at that time shall be used for settlement.If the initially published data contains obvious entry or data integrity errors, the market may wait up to the end of the 3rd calendar day after the data is published for an official correction. However, "IMF data differing from other institutions' data" does not count as a data error.Join the PPP signal push community to stay one step ahead and seize the initiative.
