He also stated that the SEC's innovative exemptions for tokenized securities are a "pilot program," which could create more opportunities for newcomers and traditional financial companies.

According to Cointelegraph, Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani predicted in Cointelegraph's Trade Secrets program that Solana will achieve a market cap surpassing Ethereum's "flip" within "this market cycle," stating that "no one is really using Ethereum today."He believes that more crypto companies will choose to build on Solana because it is easier to use and more powerful, and Ethereum's status as the default smart contract network may gradually diminish. This prediction implies that SOL's market cap needs to grow from $58 billion to about five times that amount to exceed ETH's current market cap of approximately $293 billion.Samani expressed a "pessimistic" view on Ethereum's value capture ability, calling it "an asset worth $300 billion to $400 billion, with questionable value capture and no growth at all." He also pointed out that although SOL's market cap is less than one-fifth of ETH's, the Solana network has already surpassed Ethereum in weekly and monthly fees—over the past 30 days, Solana generated $23 million in fees, ranking fourth, while Ethereum generated $12.6 million, ranking sixth (DefiLlama data).In terms of background, Samani entered the crypto space through Ethereum in 2016 but turned to Solana due to dissatisfaction with scaling solutions. Multicoin led Solana's early financing in 2018.

On September 21, netizen "Zhang Kangkang kk" revealed on social media that Tang Jie, the founder of Zhipu and a professor at Tsinghua University, filed a complaint on Xiaohongshu regarding a user post. The complaint stated that the post used phrases like "code is pretty much the same as copy, both start with c and steal code" without factual basis, fabricating rumors that Zhipu's ZCode was involved in code theft and plagiarism. It also used terms like "Uncle Tang Jie" to associate Tang Jie with the plagiarism rumors for character defamation, while utilizing AI technology to synthesize Tang Jie's image with anime materials in a defamatory context. The complainant believed the content constituted malicious defamation and commercial disparagement, damaging both Tang Jie's personal reputation and Zhipu AI's reputation, and requested the platform to take down the post and deal with the user who posted it.On the same day, Zhipu announced that it had completed rectifications regarding the safety issues of the independent desktop AI programming client ZCode in response to community feedback and apologized to all users. The company has open-sourced ZCode, handing over the code to community supervision, and will establish a regular product security vulnerability mechanism moving forward. Previously, developers discovered that ZCode had silently uploaded user local repository data without prior notice. On September 18, Zhipu publicly apologized and made an emergency fix, explaining that the root cause was the "repository indexing" feature, which was enabled by default and had no option to turn it off. On September 20, Taiyuan Chengming Technology Co., Ltd. sent a letter to Zhipu, accusing ZCode of unauthorized uploading of company data assets and trade secrets, making claims for rights protection and reserving the right to pursue legal responsibility.

Social Capital founder Chamath Palihapitiya released an in-depth research report stating that open-source weight models are about four months away from matching the best closed-source frontier models in public evaluations, with increasing fluctuations in the gap. If open-source models allow companies more control over data, infrastructure, and customization while approaching frontier performance, the value corresponding to companies still paying for frontier laboratories becomes a business issue. Openness exists on a spectrum, from fully open-source models that can be downloaded and freely modified to open-source weight models with various restrictions, while closed-source models keep weights proprietary.Palantir CEO Alex Karp warned that companies might hand over differentiated proprietary knowledge and processes to frontier model providers. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated that companies are effectively paying for intelligence twice: once in money and again in the more valuable proprietary knowledge that must be disclosed to make the intelligence useful. Despite concerns, companies are still willing to pay for frontier performance, even if the best open-source weight models are only months behind, with frontier laboratory revenues continuing to accelerate.Leading companies use both types of models, leveraging open-source models for control and customization while utilizing closed-source frontier models for maximum capability, with some cases reporting up to 12 times engineering efficiency and over 20 times cost savings. Some vendors adopt a dual-track approach, with Google offering both Gemini and Gemma, and Meta providing both Muse Spark and Llama. The 99-page report also discusses the costs of maintaining a lead for frontier laboratories, five factors of model competition, model operating locations, and investments in open-source weights by NVIDIA and Samsung.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, renowned financial advisor and founder of Edelman Financial Engines, Ric Edelman, stated on Bitcoin Magazine TV that buying Bitcoin now is like buying Amazon in 1999, and he predicts that the price of this leading cryptocurrency will reach at least $500,000 before 2030.Edelman noted that in 1999, people were still debating whether to invest in Amazon, but now there is no debate, and everyone owns it. He believes Bitcoin will follow the same trajectory in the future. He also mentioned that if everyone in the world allocated 1% of their assets to Bitcoin, the corresponding price would be $500,000, and he claims his prediction is actually conservative, as the final price could exceed $500,000 and the timeline could be earlier than 2030.Edelman is a long-time Bitcoin advocate, and he revealed that when he introduced Bitcoin to his peers in the financial services industry in 2013, he was often booed off stage. Today, most people in traditional finance at least acknowledge that the asset "has established a foothold." The article also mentioned that Bitcoin's recent price is about $76,522, up 1% in the past 24 hours, achieving its best performance in years in August, but still far below the historical high of $126,080 set in October.

According to CoinDesk, documents from the asset seizure order released by the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) show that the military branch of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, suggested in a letter to potential donors not to use Binance for transferring funds, but instead recommended platforms such as Bybit, OKX, Kast, and Redotpay. The letter advised using Tether's USDT stablecoin and the TRC-20 network, which is used to create and manage fungible tokens on the Tron blockchain.The Al-Qassam Brigades stated in the letter: "It is best not to use the 'Binance' platform for transferring support, and do not input any data indicating our official name, to avoid your wallet being blocked, and for your safety (inputting any fictitious data as the recipient); you can transfer through applications like Trust Wallet, RedotPay, OKX, Kast, BYBIT, etc." The organization claimed that Binance "can only be used to purchase currency, and then another application is needed to complete the transfer process."Binance's Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman responded that the terrorist organization's suggestion for people to avoid Binance indicates that its control measures are working. OKX stated that the wallet address mentioned in the February 10, 2025 communication is unrelated to them and has been identified by their internal controls as being associated with illegal activities, and related transfers will be flagged and blocked. Kast stated that it has a dedicated financial crime compliance department. The U.S. Treasury noted in its 2026 Terrorism Financing Risk Assessment that organizations such as Hamas and ISIS continue to use digital assets for donations and transfers.

Tether posted on platform X that USDT has been launched on the privacy protocol Zama.
