Sui Hashi Testnet Handles Over 1.1 Million Bitcoin Deposits in Three Weeks, 25 Institutions Participate in Stress Testing
Odaily News: Since the launch of Sui's Hashi Bitcoin lending protocol testnet on July 22, it has processed over 1.1 million Bitcoin deposits and 165,000 withdrawals within three weeks. As of last week, more than 25 institutions had participated in the system's stress testing. Participating institutions include digital asset custodian BitGo, trading firm Cumberland, as well as Swissborg, Fluid, and Ledger, covering areas such as trading, custody infrastructure, and wealth management platforms. Hashi allows users to deposit native Bitcoin, which is confirmed by Sui validators before minting hBTC for on-chain lending and stablecoin borrowing. Deposits utilize a 2-of-2 multi-signature mechanism with MPC validator signatures, while withdrawals require review by the Guardian Layer; the project team will proceed with the 2026 mainnet launch only after this security layer completes its security audit.

Australian Teen Social Media Ban Report Suspected of Containing AI Hallucinated Citations, Author Admits Using ChatGPT
According to The Guardian, the core report supporting Australia's teenage social media ban has been identified as containing multiple AI hallucination errors. The report was commissioned by the UK agency Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) at a cost of $3.48 million to test age verification technology. The Guardian's analysis revealed at least six errors in academic citations within the report, including links to non-existent papers and DOIs pointing to the wrong articles. ACCS initially denied using AI, then admitted to using ChatGPT to rewrite some paragraphs, but insisted that all citations were manually verified. Relevant Australian government departments have now intervened in the investigation, and experts warn that false citations could lead to incorrect decisions and damage public trust in government agencies.
Stanford Study: Unemployment Rate Increase in AI High-Exposure Occupations Actually Lower Than Low-Exposure Occupations, "Taking Away Jobs" Prediction Fails
According to The Guardian, although Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted that AI would eliminate white-collar jobs on a large scale, a year later, a large-scale wave of unemployment has not emerged. The latest analysis from the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research shows that since ChatGPT was launched in 2022, the unemployment rate for occupational groups with high AI exposure rose by only 0.77 percentage points, lower than the 0.85 percentage points for low-exposure groups. Economists point out that AI's biggest impact currently is not reducing the number of jobs, but changing the nature of work—integrating functions, raising skill thresholds, and compressing new hiring. A ZipRecruiter survey shows that about 74% of employers have listed AI skills as an important advantage or a requirement. MIT Professor Paul Osterman warns that AI will accelerate the shift of enterprises towards outsourcing and contract labor, with about 35% of the US workforce already in an "easily replaceable" state; low-skilled workers may require public policy intervention for protection. Economists generally believe that the full impact of AI on the employment market will still take several years to manifest.

英国工党议员拟立法永久禁止加密货币政治捐款
据 The Guardian 报道，英国工党议员计划于下周就《人民代表法》修正案发起反叛投票，推动政府收紧政治资金监管。核心提案包括：永久禁止加密货币捐款（而非现行临时暂停措施）、将竞选支出上限从 3400 万英镑下调至 2440 万英镑、限制新政党初始资金来源，以及引入捐款审查机制以防范外国势力干预。 此举背景为改革英国党（Reform UK）资金争议持续发酵，涉及加密货币企业家 Christopher Harborne 向法拉奇党派捐款数百万英镑，相关交易已被银行向英国国家犯罪局（NCA）举报。
Farage Under Pressure from Labour Party to Publicly Explain £5 Million Crypto Billionaire Grant
According to the Guardian, Labour Party chairwoman Anna Turley has written to Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, demanding that he cease evading scrutiny over a £5 million personal donation from Thai cryptocurrency billionaire Christopher Harborne and provide a “clear and truthful account.” The donation was exposed by the Guardian in April this year; shortly thereafter, Farage suspended his previously weekly press conferences. The matter is now under investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards. The Labour Party accuses Farage of repeatedly changing his story—first claiming the funds were intended for lifelong security, then later describing them as a “reward” from Harborne for his role in pushing Brexit—and questions the source of funding for his property purchases, including a £1.4 million cash purchase in Surrey and a Kent seaside villa slated for renovation at an estimated cost of around £700,000. Farage maintains that these properties are unrelated to the donation and that the purchase funds came from a £1.5 million fee he received for appearing on an ITV reality TV show.

Blockaid: Alephium-Ethereum Bridge Attacked, Approximately $815,000 in Assets Stolen
Blockaid disclosed on X that the Alephium TokenBridge Ethereum cross-chain bridge was attacked. The attacker compromised three out of four Guardian private keys, forged a Verified Action Approval (VAA) message, and executed the attack within approximately seven minutes, stealing roughly $815,000 worth of assets. During the attack, the attacker minted 13.76 million Wrapped ALPH tokens out of thin air—exceeding the pre-attack circulating supply by over 100%—and simultaneously unlocked and withdrew assets including USDT, USDC, WBTC, and WETH from the custody pool. As of now, the attacker’s address still holds approximately $815,000 in stolen assets and 13.76 million uncollateralized Wrapped ALPH tokens; the largest anomalous transaction involved the out-of-thin-air minting of 13.76 million Wrapped ALPH tokens.
