A post published by the official X account of the decentralized lending protocol Morpho stated that most curator businesses cannot sustain their operations solely through treasury fees, and their business model actually relies on private distribution agreements. The post has since been deleted.In response to this matter, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that this is the most pessimistic statement for MORPHO holders. Morpho CEO Paul Frambot responded that the post was published by a third-party artificial intelligence marketing tool.Morpho is a decentralized lending protocol operating on networks such as Ethereum, matching borrowers and lenders through a treasury and curator mechanism while managing funds. The curator business refers to a model where third-party institutions create and manage treasuries based on the Morpho protocol and generate income from related fees.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng stated during the podcast "When Shift Happens" that he remains bullish on Bitcoin but denies having the ability to influence the price of the entire crypto market. Previously, on August 19, when Bitcoin was around the $60,000 range, Zhao Changpeng posted that if one wants their future self to thank today's decisions in two years, immediate action is needed. This post was interpreted by the market as a hint to buy Bitcoin, and in the following days, the crypto market rose by about 20%.Zhao Changpeng responded that he does not have the ability to drive the entire market price. He stated that he has always been bullish on the crypto industry, and almost all of his posts have a bullish tendency, posting 5 to 10 times a day, so it is not surprising that one of his posts coincidentally appeared before positive news.Zhao Changpeng mentioned that about 5 hours after the post was published, Trump gave a relatively positive speech about the crypto industry, mentioning the push for Hyperliquid to enter the U.S. market, but he did not know the content of the speech in advance. He emphasized that if he had any information that could affect the market, he would not post about it. Therefore, the post and the subsequent market rise were merely a coincidence in timing.Regarding the Bitcoin cycle, Zhao Changpeng stated that the crypto market has roughly followed a four-year cycle to date. At that time, some speculated that Bitcoin might bottom out in October, but he believes there is no need to wait until October to express a bullish view.

The digital credit protocol Apyx announced on September 23 that the TGE of the governance token APYX has been postponed to after the originally scheduled date of October 13, 2026, when rewards were planned to be distributed to Season 1 and Season 2 participants. The reasons for the delay are twofold: the core reserve asset STRC has experienced the deepest and longest drawdown in its brief history, the protocol has not been interrupted, and the Chainlink on-chain NAV, proof cadence, minting, and redemption are still operating under existing terms, but the volatility of digital credit exceeds the range shown by its short history, requiring more time to address; multiple institutions have proactively reached out, hoping to use their infrastructure to bring their assets on-chain.The additional time will be used to strengthen the core protocol and to build a broader RWA platform V1 before the TGE. Digital credit remains the reserve anchor and source of yield for apyUSD, with custody, proof, on-chain NAV, redemption, and compliance frameworks being opened to other issuers and asset types. Apyx stated that the zero-fee, instant redemption, government bond-backed aptUSD has been launched, making it the first asset in the ecosystem not derived from digital credit. The Pips plan will continue, and Season 2 will no longer end on the originally scheduled date of October 11; the accumulation under the existing multiplier will remain uninterrupted, and positions, commitments, Curve and Pendle positions, and lending positions will continue to score without any action required.Due to the extended accumulation period, the airdrop allocation for Season 2 has increased from 6% of the total supply to 9%. The new end date will be confirmed along with the new TGE date, and it will not end without prior notice. The allocations for Season 1 and Season 2 will still be fully unlocked at the TGE.

Bitcoin Magazine posted on X that students from East Texas A&M University announced the construction of the first post-quantum secure solution for the Bitcoin Lightning Network.The Lightning Network is a second-layer payment network for Bitcoin, and post-quantum security generally refers to protective designs against potential vulnerabilities in existing cryptography posed by future quantum computing.

Coinbase Chief Cryptographer Yehuda Lindell stated on the MARA Foundation TV program that the exchange is designing a custody system capable of adapting to any post-quantum signature scheme that Bitcoin may adopt in the future. It is currently unclear which post-quantum signature scheme Bitcoin will use in practical applications. Lindell believes it is unlikely that a single signature scheme will be universally adopted, so preparations must be made for different outcomes across various blockchains.Coinbase is custodian for approximately $250 billion in assets for institutions such as BlackRock. Traditional Multi-Party Computation (MPC) relies on key sharding, but many post-quantum signature schemes may be "not friendly to MPC"; for example, hash-based signatures lack the arithmetic structure required for traditional cryptographic key splitting. Although cryptographers like Dan Boneh are researching relevant solutions, this research is still in a highly experimental phase, and it remains uncertain whether a viable MPC-like solution for hash signatures can be developed.To this end, Coinbase is exploring a backup architecture centered around programmable Hardware Security Modules (HSM), where private keys will be encrypted with post-quantum cryptography and assembled only within physically secure HSMs. Lindell stated that while the completion timeline is uncertain, once finished, "I will be able to say, I can support any scheme," without worrying about a blockchain adopting a signature scheme that it cannot support.

The fourth round of USMCA negotiations between the United States and Mexico will be postponed to September 28-29 in Washington. The U.S. side is expected to push Mexico to accept rules of origin for artificial intelligence devices, increase the share of the North American supply chain, and discuss tariff adjustments in the steel, aluminum, and automotive sectors.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently advocated for third-party assessment organizations like METR to have long-term access to cutting-edge AI companies, gaining near-employee level permissions to inspect safety measures, incidents, and model training processes. However, an investigation by the New York Post found that the relationship between METR and the AI safety circle of Anthropic is much closer than typical external audits.METR was originally called ARC Evals, incubated at the Alignment Research Center founded by Paul Christiano. Christiano previously worked with Amodei at OpenAI, and the New York Post reported that the two were also former roommates; he later became one of the initial five trustees of the Anthropic Long-Term Benefit Trust. The current technical staff member at METR, Ajeya Cotra, is Christiano's wife and previously managed AI safety funding at Coefficient Giving.When METR evaluated Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta this year, there was no applicable conflict of interest policy in place, nor was there a formal avoidance process conducted. METR disclosed that among the employees and collaborators directly involved in the projects, at least six had close personal relationships with employees of the AI companies. METR stated that it does not accept funding from cutting-edge AI companies and their employees, nor does it charge for risk assessments; however, these companies provide a large number of model tokens for free.

Trader Bonk Guy (@theunipcs) publicly responded to the controversy sparked by his previous posts related to the Arc chain. He admitted that he did not conduct sufficient research before posting, stated that most criticisms are reasonable, and apologized to his fans for this.He emphasized that his original tweet was not sponsored, and he did not receive any compensation. Currently, his investment in the Arc chain is approximately in the mid five figures (around tens of thousands of dollars), and the tokens purchased have been transferred to the FOMO wallet awaiting integration and launch, with no earnings yet. Bonk Guy also stated that the level of development in the Arc ecosystem exceeded his expectations, and he will delve deeper into the ecosystem, actively interact with on-chain builders, and continuously seek quality opportunities for his fans.

According to TradingBeats (formerly Hyperinsight), the suspected post-00s well-known trader 0xRay518 increased their positions in PONS and SNDK short positions this weekend. As of the time of publication, they hold a $13.46 million SNDK 10x short position and a $3.62 million PONS 3x short position. This address is currently the second-largest short position address on Hyperliquid.In addition, 0xRay518 reduced their short position by 49.12 Bitcoin this morning, and currently still holds a $81.52 million Bitcoin 20x short position. Public information shows that 0xRay518 started their investment career at the age of 14 (in 2020), using $3,000 of their New Year's money to trade shipping stocks, earning up to about $300,000 at its peak, but nearly went to zero due to high leverage. From 2021 to 2022, they shifted to NFTs and airdrops, making their first real fortune through the Arbitrum airdrop. In 2025, they abandoned their high school entrance exam midway and heavily invested $1 million in TRUMP coin on the roadside, making a profit of 3-4 times before exiting.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the company will not go public this year, with the IPO potentially delayed until 2027. In an interview with Fortune, Altman mentioned that given the current circumstances surrounding safety issues, going public now is not a wise move, and the company feels no pressure in this regard.He added that the company has a lot of work to do, including meeting safety and alignment requirements, as well as promoting collaboration between the industry and the government. This statement comes as Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly called for a slowdown in the AI race on Saturday, with both Altman and Elon Musk quickly expressing their agreement.

According to Cryptopolitan, over 100 researchers, using AI coding agents, have reduced the quantum attack resource score for the Bitcoin secp256k1 elliptic curve point addition subroutine by 86.1% (from 10.75 billion to 1.496 billion). This optimization only targets a single step in Shor's algorithm and does not break any private keys or transfer funds; a complete attack still requires fault-tolerant quantum hardware that does not yet exist. However, each efficiency improvement compresses the time window for quantum migration after blockchain completion.According to Glassnode data, approximately 6.04 million BTC (30.2% of the circulating supply) face potential quantum risks due to exposed public keys on-chain. Ethereum plans to achieve full quantum resistance by December 2029, while the Bitcoin community faces greater challenges at the governance level, including how to handle approximately 1.7 million suspected dormant P2PK address coins held by Satoshi, which remains unresolved.

According to The Bell, Samsung Electronics' foundry division has delayed its contract for application processor foundry production with Qualcomm due to differences in production unit prices, and both parties have failed to narrow the price gap, prolonging negotiations. There have been no significant technical issues, and the currently discussed 2-nanometer process has received a considerable degree of stabilization evaluation.Industry sources indicate that the Qualcomm AP foundry using Samsung's 2-nanometer process may be postponed until next year, and it is unclear whether production can commence within this year. Qualcomm had previously entrusted advanced AP production to Samsung before 2021, and Samsung has been continuously striving to regain this business in recent years, having secured clients such as Tesla and Broadcom.Informed sources state that the contract delay has made it difficult for Samsung to produce APs for Qualcomm this year, and both parties may turn to discuss the next generation of products. After acquiring strategic clients, Samsung is no longer willing to accept low-price orders as it did in the past.

The core development team of Solana, Anza, posted on platform X stating that the mainnet Beta transaction V1 will begin activation at epoch 1035, expected around September 15 at 1:20 UTC.The ecosystem team indicated that more time is needed to test and integrate V1 support; V1 is currently live on the development network for integration testing. The computational budget in V1 is set through new transaction configuration settings; the computational budget instructions are still usable in traditional transactions and V0 transactions, but will not take effect in V1; application developers should check the impact of related changes on their applications even if they do not plan to send V1 transactions.

LayerZero announced the launch of Akita, calling it the first production-ready, lattice-based polynomial commitment scheme for post-quantum security.LayerZero stated that this is the first major step to achieve quantum security for Zero and will be implemented on the first day of Jolt's launch, thanks to collaboration with a16z crypto.

Base co-founder Jesse Pollak clarified in a post on platform X that his account was attacked, and the attacker published a scam token ticker through third-party applications connected to the account. Jesse stated that the related posts have been deleted, all third-party application connections have been removed, and he has regained full control of the account, reminding users to be cautious about security.According to a screenshot of the deleted post, after gaining control of Jesse Pollak's account, the attacker published a token named BASEMEME and described it as "the first meme coin with actual utility," along with the trading entry and contract address for o1.exchange. The market value of this meme coin is currently reported at $257,000.
