MSCI announced that MicroStrategy (MSTR.O) will be removed from the MSCI Global Standard Index.

According to exclusive reports from Big Factory Daily, Trip.com held an all-hands meeting last week to announce the promotion of the "Integration of Production and Research" system across the company. This system is centered around DRI (Directly Responsible Individual) and merges personnel from product, operations, front-end, back-end, algorithms, testing, and other areas into project-based teams, breaking down traditional functional team boundaries with the goal of achieving "everyone is a full-stack developer, everyone is a product manager."In terms of specific execution, DRI leaders are not limited by function and can be original product, operations, or technical leaders. Team members within the project group collaborate across functions, which may lead to situations where products evaluate technical performance, and technology reports to operations. Front-end and back-end teams can also propose requirements and implement them independently. Ideas from product and operations that can be realized by AI can also be delivered independently, ultimately decided by the DRI.Currently, departments such as Trip.com Travel, Flights, and Content Center have begun to respond, with different teams progressing at varying paces, and the company has not imposed a one-size-fits-all requirement. The report indicates that this move is partly influenced by Silicon Valley concepts and aligns with the trend of blurred job boundaries in the AI era. This model can effectively reduce buck-passing and disputes, shorten delivery chains, and accelerate decision-making, but the challenge lies in the high comprehensive ability requirements for DRI leaders, who need to possess both technical understanding and business insight, and such qualified leaders are currently relatively scarce.

According to Cointelegraph, the European Central Bank, the European Commission, and the European Securities and Markets Authority are jointly soliciting nominations for a working group led by the industry, which will establish unified standards for the holding and settlement of tokenized securities.Eligible applicants include EU industry associations, global institutions, private enterprises, and fintech companies, which can apply to join the European Tokenized Standards Group (ETSG) by November 27. The relevant work will commence in January 2027, with the aforementioned three EU institutions participating as observers.The working group will develop technical and market standards to assist businesses in holding and settling tokenized securities across different Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platforms, ensuring that these platforms can be compatible with existing financial systems.According to its scope of responsibilities, the working group plans to produce the first set of standards by early 2028. These standards will support Appia, which is the blueprint for the European tokenized financial market developed by the euro system.The three institutions warned that market fragmentation could limit the benefits brought by tokenization, and the working group may propose recommendations on how EU regulators can encourage businesses to adopt its standards. In September of this year, the euro system launched the Pontes system, allowing financial institutions to settle wholesale transactions of tokenized assets in central bank money.

CNBC cited four informed sources reporting that the Chinese artificial intelligence startup Dark Side of the Moon had discussions this year with several emerging cloud service providers operating data centers in Europe, seeking to rent computing power provided by NVIDIA GPUs. Three of the sources stated that Dark Side of the Moon primarily sought to rent NVIDIA's latest Blackwell series chips; one source indicated that the two parties had discussed renting a computing cluster deployed in Europe, consisting of 8,000 or more Blackwell chips.The sources said that Dark Side of the Moon mainly hopes to utilize these chips for AI model inference while also intending to acquire model training computing power. The United States currently prohibits the export of NVIDIA's most advanced AI chips to China, but existing laws have not granted regulatory agencies broad authority to restrict Chinese companies from remotely using these chips through overseas cloud services. Some cloud service providers and financing institutions, concerned about the U.S. tightening remote usage restrictions, have sought to charge higher advance payments, with proposals requiring Dark Side of the Moon to pay advance payments 30% to 50% higher than those of non-Chinese clients. Dark Side of the Moon was established in 2023 and owns the Kimi series models.

According to multiple security researchers and KOLs, the iOS exploit toolkit DarkSword poses a serious threat to cryptocurrency users. This exploit takes advantage of an underlying flaw in iOS 18, allowing users to simply open infected websites through Safari, enabling malicious code to run in the background of the phone without the need to connect a wallet or perform any signature authorization. Attackers can use this to steal passwords, photos, files, as well as private keys and mnemonic phrases from cryptocurrency wallets.At least 18 malicious websites have been identified, resulting in victims losing up to 5.57 million dollars, involving more than 20 wallets. Zhao Changpeng commented on this, urging users to update their iOS systems, especially if they haven't updated for a while. He stated that no wallet software can update your operating system for you, and self-custody means self-responsibility.

On November 4, the head of the Binance Chinese community, Sisi, responded to the security incident at the end of October, stating that approximately $6.3 billion was transferred out of the Binance system, and the responsibility lies with Binance, not with any individual engineer or technical standard. She stated that the related losses would be compensated by the platform, and users could verify themselves on the reserve proof page; the frozen and intercepted portions would be recovered one by one in cooperation with law enforcement and on-chain institutions.Sisi mentioned that after the withdrawal was reopened, the platform focused on ensuring that every withdrawal was processed.

She also stated that the company's decision-making body requested that the investigation report be unembellished and truthfully disclosed, with timelines, attack paths, malicious script operations, and internal shortcomings all included in the report.Sisi cited an FBI report stating that the adversary was a nation-state actor, and since the beginning of this year, Binance had intercepted 57 suspected attacks from the same source. She indicated that all intrusion points mentioned in the report had been blocked; as of November 3, the affected wallet system had been rebuilt in a new environment, internal AI tools had been rebuilt and permissions tightened, affected devices had been replaced, relevant credentials and tokens had been invalidated, and a comprehensive device security scan and wallet risk control upgrade had been completed.
