According to Bloomberg, some investors in Anthropic have introduced expected shares to new buyers before the IPO pricing. The brokerage firm JonesTrading is representing investors expected to receive a large allocation of shares worth up to $500 million, planning to charge an additional fee of 3% to 5% based on the final IPO issue price.Insiders say that these shares are not subject to lock-up agreements, but buyers must simultaneously obtain approval from both the seller and a bank participating in the IPO. Bloomberg points out that such arrangements allow investment institutions to reduce the risk of certain allocation positions while expanding their own investor base. Jon Jefferies, head of private markets at JonesTrading, did not comment on specific transactions but mentioned that he first saw such arrangements during the SpaceX IPO, and there are currently several similar transactions related to Anthropic being pitched in the market.Additionally, another seller is promoting over $1 billion worth of existing shares in Anthropic through a special purpose vehicle (SPV), with a valuation corresponding to $14 trillion to $16 trillion for the company, and also charging fees. Insiders say that the SPV has a single-layer structure and directly holds Anthropic shares, with the transaction involving issued shares and not relying on the seller's allocation in the IPO. Anthropic's IPO seeks a fully diluted valuation of about $14 trillion, and the company along with some investors aims to raise up to $90.4 billion through the IPO and private placements combined; if this scale is reached, it will exceed SpaceX's base issuance scale of $75 billion. An Anthropic spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

DeFi risk management organization Gauntlet has closed the supply queue of its V1 vault, suspended asset allocation, and reduced exposure to LayerZero cross-chain bridge assets following the report of an op-reth vulnerability on certain OP Stack chains. Gauntlet stated that, to its knowledge, there have been no reports of the vulnerability being exploited.The report indicated that clearing the supply queue will prevent new deposits into the vault, but this measure will not close the withdrawal function or the underlying lending market; withdrawals will still depend on the liquidity available in the underlying market. Gauntlet stated that the relevant measures will remain in place until the issue is resolved, but did not provide a specific recovery timeline.Gauntlet is a risk curator for DeFi lending protocols, providing risk management services for vaults on protocols like Morpho, responsible for setting collateral parameters, supply caps, and asset allocation strategies. This adjustment involves its V1 vault operating on the relevant chains.

The blockchain vulnerability bounty platform Immunefi announced the launch of Immunefi Credits. Since the submission fee mechanism was initiated, researchers will receive an equivalent amount of Credits for effective reports, covering valid discoveries, valid reports of duplicate submissions, privately known issues, and situations where the mediation results are favorable to the researchers. The platform stated that over 700 researchers have already received Credits without needing to apply separately, and the amount can be viewed on the Credits page associated with the console balance.Immunefi stated that starting today, Credits can be used to pay for submission reports, mediation, account verification, and other fees within the platform, and will be used for related services once Immunefi Studio is open to the public. One Credit is worth 1 US dollar and can be purchased with USDC. Credits do not replace vulnerability bounties or audit competition rewards; valid discoveries will still receive rewards according to the original rules, and additionally receive Credits equivalent to the submission fees. The Credits issued retroactively will be valid for 12 months from today, and thereafter each Credit will be valid for 12 months from the date of crediting, bound to the account, and non-transferable or redeemable.Eligible situations also include valid discoveries already paid in vulnerability bounties or confirmed in audit competitions, duplicates of valid reports by others, privately known issues and their duplicates, as well as mediation fees when mediation is won. Publicly known issues, invalid reports, out-of-scope submissions, policy violations, duplicates of rejected reports, and duplicates of self-reports are not counted. Account verification fees can earn equivalent Credits when there is a valid report after verification and the accuracy rate reaches at least 25%. The fee mechanism has been applicable to vulnerability bounties since March 24 and to audit competitions since April 10, with relevant verifications currently conducted approximately every two weeks.

The hedge fund Bridgewater's China business department informed investors that the institution's bullish stance on gold has decreased and that it holds a cautiously optimistic view on the domestic Chinese stock market. The Shanghai-based hedge fund stated in a letter to investors in September that it has gradually reduced its previously overweight position in gold.Bridgewater China noted that rising interest rates have increased the opportunity cost of holding gold, while rising oil prices have suppressed demand from energy-importing countries like India. The institution also expressed optimism about Chinese assets, believing that the current stock market valuation is not high, the policy direction is favorable for long-term capital formation, and that there may be more funds flowing into the stock market in the future against a backdrop of lower bond yields.

Recently, TRON founder Justin Sun shared his views on personal assets outside of TRON during a 3.5-hour offline discussion with Jin Ming. The core configuration points are as follows:BTC: As a base asset, there has been no reduction in holdings over the past year. Although concerned about the impact of quantum computing and AI algorithms, believing the market has not fully priced in the related risks, he still insists on holding and has adopted a cold wallet sheltering mode for isolation.ETH: Reduced holdings by about 80%-90% in the $3600-$4000 range last year, currently retaining only about 20% of the base asset for observation, and has not repurchased. Most of the funds from the reduction have been transferred to U.S. stocks.NVIDIA: Main position in U.S. stocks, positioned as a base asset in the AI field, heavily invested and not reduced.NASDAQ 100: Heavily held. Slightly bearish in the medium term (due to capital clustering, high interest rates, etc.), but no short positions taken, and the position is retained.A-shares: No holdings. Overall bearish on traditional assets, more inclined towards AI applications and Web3 directions.In the interview, Justin Sun emphasized that ETH is an aggressive asset, BTC is a base asset, and he is optimistic about applications in AI health management, while being bearish on certain hardware sectors. The above is a summary of the interview points, not a complete balance sheet.

During a conversation with Cointelegraph's multimedia director Ciaran Lyons at the Token2049 conference in Singapore, Kevin Lee, Chief Strategy Officer of the cryptocurrency exchange BingX, stated that wealthy "old money" investors have a longer holding period for Bitcoin compared to many crypto-native traders. He mentioned that he has encountered a large number of "old money" clients seeking alternative investments, saying, "Their diamond hands are stronger than any of ours." Lee pointed out that Bitcoin has grown large enough that wealthy investors are increasingly viewing it as a tool for diversifying their portfolios rather than expecting it to "increase tenfold in two weeks."Lee sees wealthy investors as an underdeveloped source of crypto capital, believing that their buy-and-hold strategy could make Bitcoin a diversification tool for more investors. He cited examples where investors allocate 5% to gold and another 5% to Bitcoin, rather than chasing short-term quick returns. A survey released by CoinShares on Monday, targeting 2,230 investors with investable assets of at least $500,000, showed that long-term appreciation and diversification are the primary reasons for investing in crypto assets, while short-term speculation ranked last. Among the surveyed digital asset investors, 80% hold Bitcoin.However, crypto assets are still far from becoming a standard allocation for wealthy families. A survey conducted by JPMorgan in February, based on 333 single-family offices across 30 countries, revealed that 89% of family offices have no exposure to crypto assets, with an average allocation to crypto and digital assets of only 0.4%. Only 17% of respondents consider crypto and digital assets as key investment themes.

CoinShares' latest survey shows that among wealthy investors in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland, the majority already hold cryptocurrency assets, averaging about 10% of their portfolios. The survey covered 2,230 investors with at least $500,000 in investable assets, with Sweden's cryptocurrency holding rate at 54%, while the rates for the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland are around 70%.Among investors who already hold digital assets, at least 85% in five of the seven countries indicated plans to increase their holdings by 2026, with the proportion reaching 91% in the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany. The decline in the cryptocurrency market in February this year did not significantly weaken investment willingness; among respondents from the seven countries, more believed that the market sell-off actually increased their willingness to invest than those who felt it decreased their willingness. The survey indicates that long-term appreciation and asset diversification are the main reasons for investing in cryptocurrency assets, with only 6% of respondents primarily viewing themselves as short-term traders.Bitcoin remains the most widely held digital asset, with an average of 80% of cryptocurrency investors holding BTC; 77% of respondents believe BTC will play an important role in the future global financial system, and 79% support strengthening regulation of the digital asset market. Meanwhile, about 40% of respondents in Switzerland, France, the United States, and Germany who work with financial advisors believe that advisors are overly cautious about digital assets. CoinShares stated that the interest of wealthy investors in cryptocurrency assets is forming a stark contrast to the cautious attitude of the traditional wealth management industry.

The on-chain asset economic relationship management platform Solomon announced that Colosseum, Theia, DBA, and Anagram have supported the project by holding SOLO. These institutions became holders at different stages of Solomon's development, with some participating in its public offering and others acquiring SOLO through market purchases or over-the-counter transactions, and many institutions subsequently increased their holdings.Solomon stated that the project is built around public ownership, with institutional supporters and individual holders using the same ownership and governance tokens, and jointly focusing on the long-term development of the business. As more financial assets are brought on-chain, companies need to systematically manage related revenues, incentives, and obligations, including qualification verification, payment calculations, and policies applicable across products, customers, and jurisdictions.According to reports, issuers and applications can configure revenues, rewards, dividends, and other distributions on the Solomon platform while retaining control over qualifications, distributions, approvals, and business relationships. USDv is an early implementation of this scheme, allowing qualified holders to receive rewards without the need to stake, wrap, or lock up their assets. Solomon's next step will be to serve more issuers and enterprises and expand the use of USDv in trading pairs, vaults, and applications.

According to Cointelegraph, Japanese investment and Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet announced a revised capital allocation policy, proposing to invest 10% to 15% of total assets into strategic investments, including mergers and acquisitions and income-generating assets. It also launched a net interest income strategy to allocate capital to income-producing assets, using net interest income to support Bitcoin accumulation and dividend payments. Bitcoin remains its core treasury reserve asset, accounting for 85% to 90% of total assets. The company stated that this move aims to enhance financing capability and credit quality to increase the Bitcoin holdings per share.As this financing model was introduced, shareholders expressed concerns about Metaplanet's governance and complex capital structure. The company released five corrected securities filing documents last Friday, clarifying that CEO Simon Gerovich does not hold a majority voting power in Metaplanet shareholder MMX Ventures.Anonymous shareholder Bitcoin Pharaoh subsequently called for the company to clearly disclose the ownership of MMX Ventures, explain the 23.8% shares registered as indirectly held by Gerovich, and reveal the identities of two unnamed executives who exercised 18.8 million shares from the 10th stock option pool.In early September this year, management faced criticism from shareholders for expanding the 10th executive stock option pool from 46 million shares to nearly 319.5 million shares. On September 11, Metaplanet proposed to reduce the option pool by 41%, decreasing potential shares by 131.3 million to 188.19 million shares, and resetting the conversion ratio from 1:696 to 1:410.
