Cross-chain trading protocol NEAR Intents stated in a post on X that on September 24, Bitget was attacked, resulting in approximately $387.5 million in funds being stolen, most of which were aggregated into Ethereum and converted to ETH. The hacker attempted to transfer over $50 million through NEAR Intents, but ultimately only $166,000 was successfully transferred, while $503,000 was intercepted during the execution process.NEAR Intents indicated that the relevant data comes from on-chain tracking tools, Arkham, internal logs, and risk control layer SHIELD, among other sources. The figures listed are rounded estimates, with an assessment deviation of no more than 10%. SHIELD identified over $50 million in money laundering attempts and has filtered out duplicate flows, of which $166,000 has been successfully transferred, while another $503,000 was frozen midway through execution and remains restricted, pending legal and recovery procedures.NEAR Intents stated: permissionless does not equal neutral, the team refuses to assist in cashing out stolen assets and will forgo the bounty from this incident to allow Bitget to recover funds as much as possible. Bitget previously established a 5% + 5% bounty arrangement. NEAR Intents also mentioned that the protocol will remain permissionless but set boundaries, and will combat money laundering of stolen funds, while suggesting Bitget contact legal and law enforcement channels to handle the frozen funds.

According to the Economic Daily, citing sources from the semiconductor equipment industry, TSMC plans to expand its manufacturing presence in the United States. Following Arizona, it is set to initiate plans for a second park in the U.S., with a high likelihood of establishing six advanced wafer fabs in Dallas, Texas. Reports indicate that if the second park is launched, the total investment is expected to exceed the $265 billion in Arizona, linking Arizona's wafer manufacturing with Texas's advanced ecosystem. As of September 28, the reporter has not received a response from TSMC; supply chain operators stated that the owner has not yet notified preparations, and the board has not yet made a decision.The total investment in TSMC's wafer fab in Phoenix, Arizona, has now increased to $265 billion, with plans including six wafer fabs, two advanced packaging plants, and a research and development center. Reports suggest that TSMC's considerations for increasing its overseas presence include proximity to customers, diversification of geopolitical risks, and overcoming resource limitations such as land, water, and electricity in Taiwan. U.S. customers accounted for approximately 75.64% of TSMC's revenue in the first half of 2026.There are widespread rumors in the industry that TSMC is responding to demands from customers like NVIDIA, Intel, AMD, and Apple for local production in the U.S., while facing pressure from the U.S. government, which has threatened that chip manufacturers must relocate back to the U.S. or face tariffs of up to 200%. Dallas and North Texas are known as the "Silicon Prairie," with local factories established by Texas Instruments, Coherent, Samsung, and Tesla. Reports indicate that the Arizona facility still faces challenges such as water shortages, power shortages, and labor shortages, while Texas offers talent, lower tax burdens, and stable electricity, leading supply chain operators to believe that site evaluations are nearing completion.

David George, a general partner at a16z, stated that OpenAI understands a rare but important thing: the purpose of a business is to create customers. He believes that OpenAI will not win solely due to model, chip, cost performance, or product leadership, but because it excels at creating new types of customers and has a more sustainable distribution strategy.David George indicated that in the context where intelligent services are widely available, the key is whether new usage behaviors can be awakened and distribution won. He summarized the leverage for building cutting-edge large-scale AI businesses as creating new behaviors, reaching a large number of users, pricing to capture value, and increasing conversion costs, and he believes that the last two are difficult to form long-term advantages; competition ultimately depends on the first two.The article also mentioned that OpenAI has found seemingly simple breakthroughs in areas such as chat interfaces, reasoning, tool invocation, and Computer Use multiple times, and is building long-term distribution in a platform manner. David George stated that OpenAI has a broad user base covering consumers, professional users, and enterprises, as well as the ability to deeply understand its own technology stack, thus being better positioned to discover reusable new patterns and foundational capabilities.

In a speech on Monday, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer John Healey criticized Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's stance on Bitcoin, calling him "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Healey stated that Farage wants the public to believe he is a representative of the common people, but on economic issues, he is simply "Liz Truss with a Bitcoin account." Liz Truss is the UK's shortest-serving Prime Minister, widely criticized for her 2022 mini-budget driven by debt. Healey also mentioned that his party, the Labour Party, will help the UK lead through fiscal discipline, good jobs, and a strong industry.Farage has long been a political supporter of cryptocurrency, primarily viewing Bitcoin as a matter of personal freedom since 2020, and opposing state control over currency. He has stated that he was denied banking services by the UK private bank Coutts, which led him to take a greater interest in digital assets. Last year, at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, he claimed that if elected Prime Minister, he would cut crypto capital gains tax and force the Bank of England to establish Bitcoin reserves.Farage has faced criticism this year for accepting donations from cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, including tech entrepreneur and Tether investor Christopher Harborne, as well as Ben Delo, one of the founders of the now-closed crypto exchange BitMEX. The Metropolitan Police have launched an investigation into reports of Reform violating overseas donation rules, with Reform denying any wrongdoing and stating that they will cooperate.
