BlackRock expects that Anthropic will receive a junk rating after going public, as its over $800 billion AI computing power plan faces financing pressure

According to a report by the Financial Times citing informed sources, Blackstone recently informed investors in a $63 billion chip financing deal for Anthropic that the company may not immediately receive an investment-grade rating after going public, with major rating agencies more likely to assign it a BB range rating, which is speculative grade (commonly referred to as "junk grade").According to the rating systems of S&P and Fitch, BBB- and above are considered investment grade, while BB+ and below are considered speculative grade. If Anthropic ultimately receives a junk grade rating, its financing costs may rise, and the range of funds available to institutions such as insurance companies and pension funds, which are subject to investment-grade investment restrictions, will also narrow.The financing pressure mainly comes from Anthropic's massive computing power expenditure plans. The company previously disclosed plans to invest over $800 billion in computing infrastructure by 2045. Although Anthropic currently holds over $112 billion in cash and cash equivalents and plans to further raise funds through an IPO, the long-term commitments to computing power still raise concerns among investors about its future funding needs and debt capacity.After the report was released, U.S. tech stocks fell further, with the Nasdaq 100 index ultimately down 3.5%. However, Anthropic has not yet received a formal credit rating from S&P, Moody's, or Fitch, and Blackstone's assessment is not an official rating result.

Hifi Finance: Hifi DAO suffered a governance attack, and the team estimates a loss of about 20,000 USD and urges users to withdraw their collateral immediately

Hifi Finance disclosed that Hifi DAO has encountered a governance takeover attack, and HIFI token holders are effectively unable to control the protocol, governance smart contracts, and HIFI token supply. The team urges all users with collateral in the Hifi Protocol to withdraw immediately and specifically requests the controllers of the two relevant addresses to withdraw WETH from the protocol.Hifi Finance stated that the core team failed to detect and prevent this governance attack in a timely manner and takes full responsibility for it. The team has now taken measures to significantly limit the impact of the attack, and the final losses are yet to be determined, with preliminary estimates around $20,000. The DAO has sufficient funds to compensate all affected parties; the DAO's own liquidity has been permanently withdrawn from decentralized trading platforms.Additionally, all outstanding debts collateralized by RWA will be directly managed by the core team and will no longer be processed through the compromised smart contracts. The relevant debts still have ample capital support and are expected to be fully repaid by the original due date of March 26, 2027, with no new debts being issued by the protocol. The team stated that a complete investigation report will be released subsequently.

first_img Privacy Public Chain Iron Fish: Will terminate remaining support, confirm inflation vulnerability

The privacy public chain Iron Fish officially announced that it will formally terminate all remaining support for the Iron Fish network on that day. The team stated that several days ago, they observed unusual activities involving wIRON and the cross-chain bridge ChainPort. After collaborating with ChainPort and reviewing its logs, they confirmed that the reason was an inflation vulnerability present in the Iron Fish blockchain itself.The official statement indicated that the vulnerability can be traced back to a commit in the implementation of the Merkle tree in early 2019. At that time, the developers implemented a standard Merkle tree, but due to a detail difference in the calculation method of the ticket nullifier, attackers were able to spend the same ticket multiple times, subsequently aggregating the related tickets and transferring them out through the ChainPort cross-chain bridge. The official statement noted that this code path had been included in both external and internal audit scopes, but it was not discovered during the review.The team stated that they submitted a vulnerability patch before shutting down and archiving the ironfish codebase, and attached an explanation in the related PR. The Iron Fish mainnet was launched on April 20, 2023, and the developing company was later acquired by Coinbase; the foundation announced a transition to maintenance mode in April 2026.
