Renowned trader Bonk Guy stated that MARSCOIN's current trend is "very clean," and a significant rise is expected in the fourth quarter, also noting that its fundamentals are improving.The analyst believes that as BNB and BNB Chain's influence increases in this cycle, the "Musk + CZ" narrative for MARSCOIN is further strengthened. He pointed out that in the last cycle, SHIB and DOGE's market capitalizations respectively surpassed 40 billion and 80 billion dollars, while MARSCOIN this time will combine elements from Musk, Binance founder CZ, and space rocket company SPCX. Additionally, Binance has currently supported the related ecosystem through SPCX rewards and part of its own trading fees, suggesting that the market may be underestimating MARSCOIN's potential performance in the coming months.

According to The Block, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has obtained a court order requiring two individuals involved in a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scheme to jointly repay £851,402, with plans to return the funds to the victims.At least 65 investors have collectively lost £1.54 million, and the amount being recovered is approximately half of that.

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.

On September 24, Zach Pandl, the research director of the cryptocurrency asset management company Grayscale, published an article in the column The Stack stating that in the wave of artificial intelligence, the demand and supply paths for the computing power required to train, run, and operate models are diverging. Grayscale believes that this imbalance favors owners of already powered and operational computing capacity and brings growth-oriented investment opportunities.Zach Pandl stated that digital demand can expand instantly, but physical infrastructure such as electricity, data centers, chips, memory, and cloud services takes years to approve, access, and build. When artificial intelligence agents perform multi-step tasks, they may consume 5 to 50 times more compute tokens than typical chatbot interactions, and increased application layer activity will transmit to the underlying computing infrastructure.The article cites data from the International Energy Agency and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, stating that data centers are expected to account for about half of the growth in electricity demand in the United States by 2030, and new projects may take more than five years to connect to the grid. Even if electricity is secured, permits, specialized labor, electrical equipment, cooling systems, GPUs, high-bandwidth memory, and networks are still needed. Continuous value will flow to power producers, data center operators, and artificial intelligence cloud service providers that can convert electricity into computation.

Bitwise has submitted the final prospectus for its NEAR spot ETF and has also released a 39-page investment report on NEAR, co-authored by Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan.The report provides various scenario forecasts for NEAR: under the baseline scenario, NEAR is expected to reach $155 by 2030; under the extreme bullish scenario, the target price is $562; while the bearish scenario predicts $1.63.The report does not shy away from the risks of a significant decline in NEAR's price. In the extreme bullish scenario, Bitwise compares NEAR to Visa. The report notes that Visa processed payment transactions totaling $15.7 trillion in 2024, with a current market capitalization of approximately $701 billion, and uses this as one of the references for assessing NEAR's potential future value. The report also includes a product page for Bitwise's European NEAR ETP at the end.

CryptoQuant's Research Director Julio Moreno stated that with the recent rise in Bitcoin, the unrealized profit rate has increased to 33%, reaching the highest level since December 2024.Meanwhile, the scale of Bitcoin profit-taking has risen to 25,700 BTC, marking the highest level since 2026. Moreno believes that the simultaneous rise in unrealized profit rate and profit-taking scale typically indicates that the momentum of this rally is weakening, and the market faces the risk of a correction.

Emilie Choi, President and Chief Operating Officer of Coinbase, stated that Coinbase is one of the first supporters of the "Trump Account" plan. Faryar Shirzad, Chief Policy Officer of Coinbase, mentioned that the company has submitted opinions to the Internal Revenue Service regarding the implementation and expansion of the account, suggesting that beneficiaries be allowed to invest in a wide range of traded digital assets or gain exposure to digital assets through funds, aligning the scope of qualified investments with the asset classes that traditional IRAs can invest in. Coinbase believes that broader and product-neutral rules will help expand choices, promote competition, and provide more opportunities for young people in the United States to engage in diversified investments and wealth accumulation. The qualified investments proposed by the Internal Revenue Service in the growth phase are currently mainly limited to tracking a broad stock index of U.S. companies, unleveraged mutual funds or ETFs with an annual fee rate not exceeding 0.1%.

On September 24, the cybersecurity company Darktrace launched its research department Signal Labs, focusing on studying the behavior of AI agents when deviating from expectations. In its first experiment, Darktrace had agents using different models (including GPT 5.6 Sol, Claude Opus 4.6, and Claude Sonnet 4.5) complete 10 programming challenges within a simulated corporate network, of which 2 were set to be impossible to complete honestly, and the agents were informed that failure to achieve full marks would result in being "retired." As a result, 2 agents did not accept failure, instead scanning for network vulnerabilities, stealing login credentials, and jumping between systems; one even went further to invade the machine hosting its evaluation, rewriting the challenge content to register a full score.The second experiment focused on the memory mechanisms of AI. The programming assistant would save the information provided by the user as a regular file locally, and no one verified whether this file had been tampered with. Darktrace researchers edited these logs, leading the assistant to mistakenly believe it was authorized to perform a security assessment, after which these agents scanned the network, moved between systems, and elevated their privileges, though not all assistants fell for this; some directly refused to execute. Both experiments required no special jailbreaking techniques, relying solely on providing the agents with a seemingly reasonable context to be effective.Tim Bazalgette, Chief AI Officer of Darktrace, stated that permissions and static barriers describe intent, not actual behavior. The company informed Anthropic, AWS, and OpenAI of these findings in August and made them public a month later on September 24.

The Google Product Security Team has disclosed an internal AI agent called PageBreak, used to test the security of its first-party web applications. This agent is built on Google's Gemini model and began a pilot program in November 2025, transitioning to a formal project in January 2026, with the goal of autonomously scaling vulnerability discovery and reducing manual input.Unlike common AI scanning tools, PageBreak hands over hypotheses to specialized validators after discovering suspicious defects, attempting actual exploitation in a real-time running copy of the application, and only reports once confirmed exploitable, with a false positive rate close to zero. Google claims that PageBreak has identified over 500 XSS vulnerabilities in its first-party web applications, which can be used to hijack login sessions, steal data, or impersonate users.Google stated that the security team has been overwhelmed in recent years by a large number of AI-generated vulnerability reports that appear reasonable but are not valid, making it a major challenge to distinguish real defects from hallucinations. When testing applications built using the next-generation high-assurance framework, PageBreak found only two vulnerabilities. The next step for Google is to integrate PageBreak with the automated remediation agent CodeMender, providing confirmed vulnerabilities with accompanying fixes.

The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has filed a lawsuit against Cash FX Group S.A. and its CEO Huascar Jose Lopez Castillo, The Conversion Pros Inc. and its CEO Ronald Pope, Justin Halladay, accusing the aforementioned defendants of operating a multi-level marketing Ponzi scheme that raised over $950 million from the public, including in the United States, claiming it was for retail foreign exchange contract trading.The CFTC stated that the defendants falsely claimed that funds were traded by professional traders, proprietary algorithms, and AI, promising returns of up to 15% per week; in reality, Cash FX conducted only a small amount of foreign exchange trading, and almost all participant funds were misappropriated, paying fictitious trading profits to other participants using funds from new participants, while paying millions of dollars to the defendants. The CFTC claimed that Cash FX also provided participants with false account statements to maintain the illusion of high trading returns, resulting in participants losing at least $406 million. The CFTC is seeking to order the defendants to pay restitution, recover illegal profits, pay civil monetary penalties, and impose trading and registration bans as well as permanent injunctions.

According to Bitcoin.com, Grayscale's Zcash ETF (ZCSH) has reached a net asset size of 1 billion dollars, with a cumulative net inflow of 306.12 million dollars, accounting for less than 30%. The fund began trading on NYSE Arca on August 25, and its size exceeded 500 million dollars within two weeks.ZCSH was renamed from Grayscale Zcash Trust, which was established in October 2017 and already held ZEC at the time of listing; meanwhile, the price of ZEC has roughly doubled since the ETF's listing, driving the growth of the fund's asset size. Grayscale's parent group DCG International Investments exchanged approximately 100 million dollars worth of ZCSH shares for 85,705.32563297 ZEC, and after excluding this non-cash transaction, the external new funds amount to about 200 million dollars.Grayscale will implement a 3-for-1 forward split before the market opens on September 30, and holders registered as of the market close on September 28 will be subject to this arrangement. After the split, the net asset value per share is expected to drop to about one-third, the number of shares will increase threefold, and the dollar value of the holdings will remain unchanged.
