AMC CEO Adam Aron posted on the X platform again naming Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. He stated that Robinhood had previously expressed support for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the tokenization of U.S. stocks, believing that tokenized stocks should have voting rights and that companies should have the option to opt-out.Adam Aron also pointed out that it would be very "hypocritical" if Robinhood did not apply the same principles in its overseas operations, and he urged them not to go against the SEC's stance, "do not openly disrespect and provoke the SEC."

Bitget's Greater China Regional Head, Xie Jiayin, recently addressed community concerns during a live broadcast. He reflected that since Bitget's establishment 8 years ago, user asset security has always been the top priority, successfully resisting multiple attempts of cyber attacks and maintaining a long-term record of secure operations. This incident marks the first security crisis in the platform's 8-year development history.Upon complete tracing, this incident is classified as a special attack targeting a third-party security software supply chain. The attacker exploited vulnerabilities in third-party products to obtain internal network credentials; however, private keys were not leaked, and cold wallet assets were unaffected. Currently, Bitget has partnered with security agencies Mandiant and SlowMist to conduct an independent review and will comprehensively upgrade the monitoring and management standards for third-party components. We are not only committed to promoting a full recovery following this incident but will also contribute to a safer, more robust, and healthier development of the industry through continuous technological iteration and system upgrades.

In today's community live broadcast, Bitget CEO Gracy responded to recent security incidents and the platform's financial status. She candidly stated that this is the first security incident encountered since Bitget was established 8 years ago. After a complete trace, it was found that hackers exploited vulnerabilities in third-party security products to steal internal network access credentials, forged withdrawal commands to the wallet system, and deceived the wallet into executing abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy emphasized that no private keys were leaked, and cold wallets were unaffected; specific technical details will be disclosed in the formally released security report.Gracy pointed out that the verified losses from this incident are within the coverage of the protection fund, and user funds are not affected. The platform's own funds exceed $1.4 billion, which includes approximately $464 million in the user protection fund. The platform will continue to uphold the security commitments made when the protection fund was established in 2022, planning to replenish the fund to the baseline of $300 million within a week."The protection fund is not just a slogan, but an important mechanism that provides tangible security for users in the event of extreme security incidents," Gracy stated. In the face of sudden security challenges, the platform's comprehensive strength and its ability to take responsibility are important criteria for measuring its risk response capability and long-term credibility. Bitget will continue to uphold its long-term commitment to prioritize user interests.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced today that the original novel "Snowmoon" has been completed, consisting of 32 chapters.The novel unfolds in a speculative science fiction setting, depicting a world that heavily relies on cryptography and decentralized governance. The story focuses on the ideological conflicts between societies such as Veridia and the Arctic Empire, involving elements like zero-knowledge proofs, second voting, privacy technologies, and content-oriented tax mechanisms, integrating themes of mechanism design and digital sovereignty that have long been of interest to Vitalik.The work is released under the GPL v3 license. Vitalik stated that adaptations into films, animations, and other derivative works are allowed, but requires the related production pipeline (including AI prompts, scripts, and other non-generic materials) to be open-sourced. He declared that all text was written by him, with AI assistance only used for spelling and grammar checks, consistency verification, and webpage formatting, and noted "Snowmoon was written with love."

According to The Information, Anthropic is seeking shareholder approval for a special equity structure that would grant a total of 50.1% voting rights to CEO Dario Amodei and six other co-founders, ensuring that the founding team retains control after the company goes public. This arrangement requires at least three founders to continue holding a minimum percentage of the company's shares.It is reported that the seven founders of Anthropic currently each hold about 2% of the shares, and the new equity will not provide additional economic benefits, only increasing voting rights. Meanwhile, Anthropic's long-term benefit trust fund will still be responsible for electing most board members, with the number of founder board seats increasing from 2 to 3, and employees will also receive shares that can break ties on certain matters.Anthropic was valued at $96.5 billion in May this year, and its recent secondary market valuation has risen to about $1.5 trillion, with its proposed IPO expected to reference this latest valuation.

According to CoinDesk, Hut 8 co-founder Marc van der Chijs warned in an interview with CoinDesk that the fierce competition between enterprises and nations is accelerating the development of artificial intelligence, with its speed exceeding human control, potentially posing systemic risks to the financial system and critical infrastructure. He stated, "We have already lost control," and expressed concern that systemic disruption or catastrophic failure is almost inevitable before real international safeguards are established.Van der Chijs predicts that AI and robotics could ultimately replace 90% to 95% of existing jobs and significantly lower the costs of goods and services. At that point, governments will need to find new sources of revenue, such as taxing the use of robots or AI. He also believes that AI could expose vulnerabilities in traditional banking software, threatening the confidence of institutions that rely on interconnected systems; in the crypto space, businesses built around Bitcoin, such as exchanges, are more susceptible to impact than the underlying network itself.Van der Chijs previously sold a large amount of Bitcoin to shift towards AI investments and believes that the capital shift by investors towards AI has prevented Bitcoin from reaching the previously expected levels of $200,000 to $250,000. He is now reinvesting some of the AI profits back into crypto assets through exchange-traded funds. He still views Bitcoin as the only asset worth holding in his lifetime and claims that Hut 8's shift to AI data centers is "the best decision ever."

Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder of Starknet, stated on social media that the recent rise of Zcash (ZEC) is partly due to market concerns that Bitcoin is "too rigid" at the protocol level.

Johann Kerbrat, head of cryptocurrency operations at Robinhood, stated on the X platform on Monday that physical redemption and voting rights are on the roadmap for Robinhood Stock Tokens. He mentioned that the first step is to expand the adoption of Stock Tokens, and the team is working on a 1:1 conversion of stocks and granting voting rights to eligible holders. Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev subsequently retweeted the post.Currently, Stock Tokens are not stocks but tokenized debt securities issued by a Jersey issuer based on a prospectus, settled in cash upon redemption, and holders do not enjoy shareholder rights such as voting rights. According to the prospectus released on June 25, the issuer may lend the underlying stocks to major borrowers, during which the voting rights will be waived. Kerbrat emphasized that all Robinhood Stock Tokens are backed by real stocks in custody at a 1:1 ratio.In terms of data, Kerbrat stated that the TVL of Stock Tokens has exceeded $170 million, and the DEX trading volume on Robinhood Chain is close to $50 billion. Robinhood currently offers over 190 stock tokens, with Alpaca Securities as the custodian and Bitstamp Global as the authorized participant. The voting function will be realized through its shareholder participation platform, Say by Robinhood.

AMC CEO Adam Aron once again criticized Robinhood's stock token business in a post, raising several questions to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher. Aron stated that stock tokens violate the fundamental concept of stock ownership and questioned why Robinhood continues to heavily promote stock tokens on its U.S. site when it cannot provide relevant products to U.S. users.Aron also questioned whether stock tokens might lead buyers to mistakenly believe they have the same rights as actual shareholders, as well as the 1:1 stock support mechanism: if some of the underlying real stocks used to support the stock tokens are simultaneously lent to short sellers, can the related tokens still be considered truly 1:1 supported? Aron further criticized Robinhood for conducting related business through a Jersey entity, stating that while stock tokens may represent innovation in Robinhood's view, in his view, "it will only bring shame to Robinhood."Yesterday, Robinhood co-founder Vlad Tenev published a lengthy article outlining Robinhood's vision of enabling global investors (especially non-U.S. users) to gain exposure to U.S. stocks and ETFs through blockchain, and he focused on the question of whether issuers need to agree to the tokenization of stocks.

On September 12, B.AI announced that a new round of rights for popular models officially took effect: the high-concurrency main models DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash are now available for a special 90% discount, allowing users to access them for only 10% of the original price, catering to high-throughput scenario demands with exceptional cost-effectiveness. At the same time, Qwen3.8-Flash, Hy3, and MiMo-V2.5 continue to offer full free access, providing developers with richer zero-cost options.This adjustment in rights aims to meet high-throughput demands with exceptional cost-effectiveness, lowering the exploration threshold for developers through a multi-model matrix.
