ENS Labs, the developer of the Ethereum Name Service, is exploring with the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) how institutions can associate their ENS names with verifiable Legal Entity Identifiers (vLEI), thereby creating a continuous and verifiable identity on the blockchain.ENS is the domain and identity system of the Ethereum ecosystem, allowing users to replace long addresses with human-readable names. GLEIF is responsible for managing the global Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) system, and vLEI is its verifiable version used to confirm the legal entity identity of organizations. The direction of this collaboration is to connect on-chain names with regulated legal identity credentials, but the specific product form and launch time have not been disclosed in public posts.

Axios reported that allies of Trump are attacking Dario Amodei, the CEO of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, as a representative of the "doomsday" narrative surrounding artificial intelligence and one of the founders of the effective altruism movement. Sources say that during the midterm elections, allies may target Anthropic when countering his warnings about AI safety; due to his political stance and concerns about AI safety, he is seen as an easy target. This is concerning for investors as the company is preparing for an anticipated record-breaking initial public offering.The report states that a memo began circulating internally within the White House this week, attempting to portray effective altruism as a fringe, cult-like group detached from mainstream America, with Axios claiming to have obtained the document. The memo was written by a Trump political advisor not currently employed by the White House, stating that effective altruism "has established a doomsday pipeline for artificial intelligence," placing Amodei at the foundational position of the movement, while also mentioning his sister, Daniela Amodei, president of Anthropic, referring to these connections as "Anthropic nodes." A source close to the government said that Amodei embodies an ideology and globalist innovation path that contradicts the president's "America First" agenda.Anthropic has been distancing itself from effective altruism. Daniela Amodei stated in a 2025 Wired report that she does not agree with the term. Dario Amodei has insisted in interviews that he is not a member of the movement and has promoted the benefits of artificial intelligence.

According to official disclosures from Coinbase, it has collaborated with Microsoft and several institutions to combat the AI-driven cybercrime platform EvilTokens. This platform offers "phishing as a service" through Telegram bots, utilizing AI to analyze trust relationships and payment permissions in compromised email accounts, and bypassing multi-factor authentication through Microsoft's device code login process.The Coinbase global intelligence team tracked that between October 2025 and June 2026, EvilTokens generated approximately $1.1 million in revenue through four Tron addresses, involving over 1,000 deposits from more than 700 different addresses. The related evidence supported Microsoft's civil lawsuit, ultimately leading to the seizure of 50 websites and the deactivation of over 175 associated domain names. The Metropolitan Police Service of the United Kingdom arrested the relevant operators and seized digital devices on September 11. Coinbase stated that this incident did not result in the leakage of Coinbase accounts or credentials, but some customers were manipulated into transferring cryptocurrency to the scammers' addresses through phishing emails.

According to on-chain detective Specter monitoring, the attackers of this activity provided so-called arbitrage bot tutorials and code through YouTube videos, guiding victims to compile and deploy contracts using a counterfeit Remix development interface.The attackers registered an ENS name containing "Uniswap," disguising the related address as a legitimate source of income for DeFi activities, leading victims to mistakenly believe that the deployed arbitrage bot was profiting through Uniswap. After victims injected their own assets into the contract, the funds were transferred away by the attackers. The attackers currently seem to still be active and hold a significant portion of the stolen funds across two addresses.

Coinbase announced that it has renamed the Base App to Coinbase Wallet, reversing the renaming decision made a year ago, shifting the focus of the self-custody application towards trading and broader multi-chain access. Ryan Kass, the product lead for Coinbase Wallet, stated that the wallet will serve as a "test kitchen" for products and assets not yet offered by the centralized exchange Coinbase, with the first case being perpetual contracts supported by Hyperliquid. The wallet also supports long-tail assets and plans to gradually integrate as new chains go live.The wallet also supports prediction markets and tokenized stocks. Coinbase stated that the Base App has evolved into a broader multi-chain trading platform, making the restoration of the Coinbase Wallet name a reasonable move. Coinbase promotes the wallet with the selling points of "no KYC, no waiting, borderless," allowing users to start trading within minutes after downloading the app, although some features are still subject to regional restrictions. The wallet will automatically detect and hide scam or malicious tokens, and new markets and asset classes must undergo strict product and compliance reviews before going live.In terms of background, Coinbase renamed Coinbase Wallet to Base App in July 2025, positioning it as a "universal app" that integrates social, mini-apps, messaging, payments, and trading. CEO Brian Armstrong admitted in March this year that the social experiment was "not very successful," after which Base founder Jesse Pollak handed over leadership of the app to Jordan "Cobie" Fish.

The re-staking protocol Renzo Protocol announced its name change to Renzo Finance and launched its first on-chain structured yield product Renzo Basis, which will go live on Hyperliquid, initially supporting BTC and HYPE. Lucas Kozinski, founder of Renzo Labs, stated that basis trading earns funding rate income by simultaneously holding a spot long and a perpetual contract short. Since the long and short positions hedge each other, asset price fluctuations do not affect the yield, and users earn the fees paid by perpetual traders every hour.Renzo stated that the product achieves automation through a triple protection mechanism, including hedge protection, yield protection, and safety buffer. Currently, the product does not use AI automation but instead conducts trading and strategy monitoring through Hyperliquid's proxy wallet (API wallet) with user authorization, without holding user funds. The relevant protection parameters can be customized by users. Renzo emphasized that its product differs from competitors such as Ethena and Bitwise's Superstate in that it is fully on-chain, self-custodied, and allows depositors to choose their own assets, trading venues, and risk parameters.Renzo Basis plans to support all assets on Hyperliquid that have both spot and perpetual markets and expand to other DeFi platforms, with the next stop being Lighter on Robinhood, where on-chain stock perpetual basis trading will be introduced.
