According to Saudi media outlet Hadass, sources say that Iran has agreed to stop uranium enrichment in exchange for the United States easing sanctions.

According to the official announcement, the Chinese Meme project Niuma has launched on the BNB Chain through Flap, with tokenized stocks as trading pairs, and is paired with the BABA tokenized asset. Currently, it has a market capitalization of 2.19 million USD, with 7,091 holding addresses and a 24-hour trading volume of 7.26 million USD.The project starts from the common identity of "Niuma," connecting workers, entrepreneurs, and on-chain participants, allowing shared experiences to become community consensus. The token paired with stock has a 1% transaction tax, which is used to purchase BABA bStock as a holding reward.

The first federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., began offering xU3O8 custody services for institutional clients on September 16, 2026. This token is backed by physical uranium concentrate yellowcake, with the related uranium materials stored at Cameco facilities and held in beneficial ownership by a UK trust structure.xU3O8 is issued by Uranium.io, with the UK regulator Archax acting as the trustee, and the underlying assets are mapped through the Etherlink network. Cameco is responsible for storing physical uranium in certified facilities and regularly publishes the results of reserve proof audits. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) regulates Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., allowing its clients to include xU3O8 in isolation and bankruptcy-remote accounts similar to those for Bitcoin and cash equivalents. Currently, the unit price of xU3O8 is approximately $5.66, with a total market capitalization of about $9 million.

OpenAI stated to The New York Times that since announcing progress on the Navier-Stokes equations on September 8, it has made "substantial progress" on one of the Millennium Prize Problems, but did not disclose which specific problem it is or provide a timeline for disclosure. The Millennium Prize Problems are seven mathematical problems established by the Clay Mathematics Institute since 2000, each with a reward of one million dollars.Speculation suggests that the problem may be the Hodge Conjecture, a 76-year-old problem regarding how to calculate the number of "holes" in complex geometric shapes. OpenAI has not confirmed this speculation and has not responded to rumors that its underlying model is a version of Aeon specifically designed for long-duration tasks. Previously, on September 8, OpenAI announced that its unreleased internal model generated a proof verified by Lean, indicating that the Navier-Stokes equations could "blow up" to physically impossible infinite speeds, involving about 10,000 coordinated AI agents and taking approximately 88 hours.However, this statement has sparked controversy. New York University mathematician Tristan Buckmaster stated that he and Anthropic researcher Levent Alpöge had been working on the related proof for nearly a year prior and completed it on August 22, while OpenAI's Sébastien Bubeck published his findings first upon learning of it. OpenAI stated that it is not pursuing the one million dollar prize, but rather using these problems as a public benchmark to measure the speed of model progress. The review of the Navier-Stokes proof by the Clay Mathematics Institute is still ongoing, and verification of past Millennium Prize Problems typically takes several years.

Decentralised.co reported that the cost of sending $200 across borders is currently 6.36%, down from 9.67% in 2009, with the United Nations aiming to reduce it to 3% by 2030. Remittances consist of three parts: collecting from the remitter, transferring value, and paying the recipient, with the intermediate stage previously being slower and now the cheapest part. Receiving and paying require licenses, bank accounts, compliance, and payment networks. The process from Dubai to Manila takes about six steps, with only one step using blockchain.Pre-funded agent accounts decentralize operating capital. Tokenized dollars can be concentrated in a single funding pool, settled on Sundays, and rebalanced within minutes. Traders hold inventory and bear exchange rate risks.

Visa announced its participation in the BLOOM (Borderless, Liquid, Open, Online, Multi-currency) initiative led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), aimed at expanding the settlement capabilities of financial institutions and promoting interoperability between traditional payment systems and stablecoin payment rails, allowing institutions to enjoy faster, programmable payments while retaining security and compliance assurances.As the first partner under the BLOOM framework, Nium will pilot the use of stablecoin settlements with Visa, exploring more efficient cross-border fund flows based on Visa's payment network, security, and compliance capabilities. The two parties will study the implementation of settlements seven days a week (including weekends and public holidays) using stablecoins to reduce delays and enhance efficiency. The pilot supports regulated stablecoins backed by major currencies, including US dollar and euro-denominated stablecoins.

The U.S. prosecution has charged a Maryland man, Jonathan Spalletta, with multiple attacks on the decentralized exchange Uranium Finance since 2021, involving approximately $54 million, and he has now been formally indicted.According to the indictment released by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, Spalletta faces two charges of computer fraud and money laundering, each carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years and 20 years in prison, respectively, with a total maximum sentence of 30 years. The prosecution claims that Spalletta manipulated smart contract trading processes to create false profits, thereby illegally withdrawing more funds than he was entitled to, ultimately causing severe damage to the exchange and even leading to its collapse. Furthermore, the investigation indicated that he used part of the illegal proceeds to purchase collectibles, including a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers' airplane that was taken to the moon by astronaut Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 mission. The prosecution emphasized that crypto assets are also protected by law, stating that "the so-called 'cryptocurrency is just virtual assets' cannot be an excuse for theft."
