According to Bitcoin Magazine, Bitcoin software provider Breez announced that applications built on its Breez SDK now support users receiving stablecoin payments from over 30 networks using their Bitcoin balance.Breez stated that after the recipient selects the network and amount of the payer, the SDK generates a deposit address and displays the amount received, while the payer pays from their wallet as usual; Flashnet completes the exchange in the background, and the funds ultimately enter the recipient's non-custodial wallet in the form of Bitcoin, or in the form of USD if the stable balance feature is used.In June of this year, Breez launched the ability to send USDT/USDC, allowing a single Breez-powered balance to transfer stablecoins bi-directionally across almost all networks. This update is the latest in a series of usability upgrades, following the rollout of features such as Passkey login, Cash App instant account opening, and stable balance. Breez also launched a reference application called Glow in August to showcase the capabilities of the SDK.The Breez SDK is a developer toolkit that allows applications to add Bitcoin payments without having to build their own payment infrastructure, covering wallet creation, sending and receiving, and Lightning Network payments. Developers can provide Bitcoin functionality with minimal code, without needing to run nodes or manage liquidity.In July of this year, Breez announced a partnership with Turnkey, allowing developers to add non-custodial Bitcoin support to wallet applications running on their own servers.

According to Ark Invest Tracker, Ark Invest states that AI hacking attacks are affecting everything. The risks go far beyond Bitcoin, as AI makes software vulnerabilities easier to discover and exploit.Bitcoin and hardware wallets may be the first to be impacted, but social media, tax, and banking websites may also face the same threats. Trusting a big brand still means trusting that the company will not make mistakes as AI becomes increasingly powerful. ARK expects that large custodial institutions will also become targets, with AI potentially discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities at an unprecedented speed.

According to QCP analysis, the global market opened under multi-asset pressure, with investors reducing risk exposure. The Nasdaq 100 index fell from 744.45 to 737.76 in pre-market trading, gold dropped from $4260 to $4147, Bitcoin decreased from $84500 to $82800, and the dollar index also declined, reflecting broad deleveraging rather than a shift to safe-haven assets.QCP stated that the main driving factor is geopolitical: the United States rejected a ceasefire condition proposal regarding the Strait of Hormuz last weekend, reigniting concerns over energy supply disruptions and driving a significant rise in Brent crude oil. This week, the U.S. macroeconomic calendar is packed. Following the recent interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the PCE price index and non-farm payroll report are key data points, and the market remains highly sensitive to data that could influence further adjustments in monetary policy. In terms of crypto options, front-end implied volatility remains high, with traders pricing for downside protection. Spot Bitcoin ETF fund flows show hesitation amid broader clearing. Bitcoin's recent technical strength faces dual pressure from geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic data risks, with key support levels being closely monitored.

Bitget's Greater China Regional Head, Xie Jiayin, recently addressed community concerns during a live broadcast. He reflected that since Bitget's establishment 8 years ago, user asset security has always been the top priority, successfully resisting multiple attempts of cyber attacks and maintaining a long-term record of secure operations. This incident marks the first security crisis in the platform's 8-year development history.Upon complete tracing, this incident is classified as a special attack targeting a third-party security software supply chain. The attacker exploited vulnerabilities in third-party products to obtain internal network credentials; however, private keys were not leaked, and cold wallet assets were unaffected. Currently, Bitget has partnered with security agencies Mandiant and SlowMist to conduct an independent review and will comprehensively upgrade the monitoring and management standards for third-party components. We are not only committed to promoting a full recovery following this incident but will also contribute to a safer, more robust, and healthier development of the industry through continuous technological iteration and system upgrades.

In today's community live broadcast, Bitget CEO Gracy responded to recent security incidents and the platform's financial status. She candidly stated that this is the first security incident encountered since Bitget was established 8 years ago. After a complete trace, it was found that hackers exploited vulnerabilities in third-party security products to steal internal network access credentials, forged withdrawal commands to the wallet system, and deceived the wallet into executing abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy emphasized that no private keys were leaked, and cold wallets were unaffected; specific technical details will be disclosed in the formally released security report.Gracy pointed out that the verified losses from this incident are within the coverage of the protection fund, and user funds are not affected. The platform's own funds exceed $1.4 billion, which includes approximately $464 million in the user protection fund. The platform will continue to uphold the security commitments made when the protection fund was established in 2022, planning to replenish the fund to the baseline of $300 million within a week."The protection fund is not just a slogan, but an important mechanism that provides tangible security for users in the event of extreme security incidents," Gracy stated. In the face of sudden security challenges, the platform's comprehensive strength and its ability to take responsibility are important criteria for measuring its risk response capability and long-term credibility. Bitget will continue to uphold its long-term commitment to prioritize user interests.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated during the podcast "When Shift Happens" that he remains bullish on Bitcoin but denies having the ability to influence the price of the entire crypto market. Previously, on August 19, when Bitcoin was around the $60,000 range, Zhao Changpeng posted that if one wants their future self to thank today's decisions in two years, immediate action is needed. This post was interpreted by the market as a hint to buy Bitcoin, and in the following days, the crypto market rose by about 20%.Zhao Changpeng responded that he does not have the ability to drive the entire market price. He stated that he has always been bullish on the crypto industry, and almost all of his posts have a bullish tendency, posting 5 to 10 times a day, so it is not surprising that one of his posts coincidentally appeared before positive news.Zhao Changpeng mentioned that about 5 hours after the post was published, Trump gave a relatively positive speech about the crypto industry, mentioning the push for Hyperliquid to enter the U.S. market, but he did not know the content of the speech in advance. He emphasized that if he had any information that could affect the market, he would not post about it. Therefore, the post and the subsequent market rise were merely a coincidence in timing.Regarding the Bitcoin cycle, Zhao Changpeng stated that the crypto market has roughly followed a four-year cycle to date. At that time, some speculated that Bitcoin might bottom out in October, but he believes there is no need to wait until October to express a bullish view.
