Strategy Inc (Nasdaq: MSTR), renamed from MicroStrategy, continues to implement its crypto asset strategy! According to the latest 8-K filing submitted to the U.S. SEC, the company bought 950 BTC for $75.7 million last week, at an average cost approaching $80k, bringing its total holdings to an astonishing 846k BTC. In addition, the company used $174 million in cash to aggressively repurchase preferred stock.

Bitcoin rose approximately 5.9% on September 19, climbing from around $76k to above $80k and reaching a high of $80,857, its largest single-day gain in recent times. According to a Decrypt report, the main driver of this rally was the forced liquidation of short positions, rather than new buying entering the market.

O’Leary also changed his previous bullish view of BTC and ETH. He said that he had previously believed Bitcoin and Ethereum could capture the vast majority of market volatility in the crypto industry, but he no longer believes Ethereum will become the industry’s ultimate standard, as “it is not fast or secure enough.” He is now betting that different industries may ultimately adopt different blockchains as infrastructure for asset tokenization.

O『Leary said in an interview with The Rollup that quantum computers could potentially crack Bitcoin’s underlying encryption algorithms and digital signatures in the future. This risk needs to be addressed; otherwise, institutional investors may still view Bitcoin as a non-core asset. He said one of the prerequisites for Bitcoin reaching $1 million is resolving market concerns about “Q-Day.”

Since launching World App in May 2023, World has continued expanding its financial features. The original World App combined World ID identity verification, a crypto wallet, stablecoin transfers, and token trading. In October 2024, it launched World App 3.0, officially positioning it as “the super app for humans,” while adding third-party Mini Apps and Vault yield features.
In November 2025, World piloted virtual bank account functionality in the United States, allowing users to receive salaries and bank deposits and automatically convert them into USDC. One month later, it expanded to more co

World Money goes live Thursday in more than 150 countries, with features varying slightly by region. Users can send supported digital assets such as stablecoins to other World users’ usernames, deposit eligible assets to earn yield, and buy and sell digital assets through exchanges.
World announced in an official blog post that the app features built-in “Mini Apps,” allowing users to directly access the Kalshi prediction market, Credit’s credit services, and the Morpho decentralized lending protocol. The partnership with Stripe allows users to fund their accounts and purchase stablecoins via A

World, founded by Sam Altman, has launched World Money, a self-custodial financial super app offering stablecoin payments, digital asset yields, and trading, now available in more than 150 countries. Users can top up via Apple Pay and purchase stablecoins.

The Claude Help Center states that all existing Cowork tasks, projects, connectors, and skills will be preserved, while chat history and tasks will appear together in the “Recent” list.
Web search no longer requires manual toggling and will instead be enabled automatically as needed; the original Research feature can now be accessed using the /deep-research command or the “+” button next to the input box.
The autonomy settings have not been simplified. By default, Claude will still ask the user once before taking action; users who want to give it more freedom can set it to work continuously an

Anthropic said in an official blog post: “We built Cowork as a dedicated space for handling large tasks and Design as a dedicated space for handling visual work. Users were using both, but they told us that the most frustrating part was deciding where a task should go.”
In the old interface, the web, desktop, and mobile versions all started from the same Claude homepage, but entering Cowork required clicking the toggle below the input box; in the Chrome sidebar, opening the panel took users directly into Cowork mode.
After the consolidation, this toggle will gradually be removed as each accoun

“It is hard to imagine a world where AI is particularly beneficial to crypto, because many of the solutions we see are actually encouraging more centralization, not less.”
Coldcard incident: AI really can be used to find vulnerabilities
Variola’s view is not mere speculation. In July this year, a serious vulnerability emerged in the Coldcard hardware wallet, and attackers stole approximately $116 million worth of Bitcoin from more than 5,200 wallet addresses. The industry generally believes that the vulnerability was likely identified quickly through AI scanning or AI-assisted analysis.

Three Major Negative Impacts: Capital, Attackers, and Centralization Pressure
Variola’s argument can be broken down into three strands.
First, capital diversion. Over the past few quarters, VC, institutional capital, and technical talent have flooded into AI companies and infrastructure development, leaving the crypto industry relatively drained. Variola did not provide specific figures, but used the term “significantly diverted,” meaning the scale has grown large enough to affect the ecosystem.
Second, attackers are benefiting more. AI not only makes phishing and social engineering more preci

AI is “net negative” for the crypto industry as a whole. From the three angles of capital diversion, stronger attacker capabilities, and rising cybersecurity costs, he offers a decidedly pragmatic pessimistic view.
“It is actually difficult to be bullish on AI in the crypto space,” Variola said on the show. “On one hand, a large amount of liquidity is being siphoned into the AI industry; on the other, AI is giving many bad actors greater capacity to attack protocols.”
His argument is straightforward: AI does not particularly favor decentralization. On the contrary, to deal with attacks enabled

Even the documented formal challenges span three centuries. Researchers throughout history have tried frequency analysis (counting how often letters appear and inferring their correspondences), substitution ciphers, and homophonic substitution ciphers (where the same letter may correspond to several different symbols), but none of these methods worked.

However, AI evaluation company Vals AI recently stated in an official blog post

More than three centuries ago, Scottish nobleman Thomas Urquhart left two lines of cipher at the end of his book 《Logopandecteision》, published in 1653. Known as the Cyphral Distich, they consist of 32 digits each, 64 digits in total.
The puzzle was listed as an open mystery by the academic journal 《Notes and Queries》 in 1899, and was mentioned several times in 20th-century cryptography literature. Later, cryptohistory researcher Klaus Schmeh included it on his list of the “50 Greatest Unsolved Ciphers.” It is a familiar old chestnut among insiders.

Vals AI said Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5.1 spent just 44 minutes and 176k tokens solving a cipher that had remained unsolved for 373 years, revealing a prayer pledging allegiance to Charles II.

Ethereum ETFs saw nearly $200 million in net inflows over four days, but ETH remains range-bound around $2,500, reflecting that fund subscriptions are not the only short-term price determinant.
First, ETF fund flows represent the net amount after fund shares are subscribed and redeemed, and do not mean that all the capital directly enters public spot order books at the same minute. Second, Ethereum remains affected by overall market liquidity, derivatives positioning, and macro risk appetite.
In addition, BTC currently has a market capitalization of approximately $1.56 trillion, with liquidity

Although Bitcoin remains significantly below last year’s all-time high, the global population of crypto asset holders continues to expand. Henley & Partners’ newly released Crypto Wealth Report 2026 estimates that there are currently approximately 135,694 “crypto millionaires” worldwide holding at least $1 million in crypto assets, including 92,272 Bitcoin millionaires alone; the global cryptocurrency-holder population has further increased to approximately 742 million.

Bitcoin’s decline continued, with its price briefly approaching $77k during Asian trading on September 11 and dipping as low as approximately $76,700 intraday. Strangely, as the price fell, on-chain holders did not engage in corresponding large-scale panic selling. What the market may actually be lacking right now is buyers willing to enter the market proactively.
Glassnode’s latest The Week On-chain report showed that Bitcoin’s seven-day average Sell-Side Risk Ratio had fallen to approximately 7 basis points per day, less than half the roughly 16 basis points recorded at the market peak in Au

Argentina and Venezuela have experienced high inflation and local currency depreciation for many years, and the U.S. dollar has always been recognized by local residents as a safe-haven asset. But for a long time, capital controls and weak banking infrastructure have kept access to dollars restricted and tightly regulated, while the costs of exchanging and transferring them have been too high for ordinary people to afford. Stablecoins happen to bypass all these obstacles perfectly: dollar-pegged tokens on a phone require no institutional approval, do not stop operating at 3 p.m., and do not re

Capital flows into U.S. cryptocurrency spot ETFs continue to recover. The latest data shows that spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have recorded net inflows for the third consecutive week, with Bitcoin ETFs attracting more than $3.8 billion over the past three weeks, reflecting renewed institutional investor allocations to crypto assets.
According to SoSoValue data, in the week ending September 4, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $987 million in net inflows, up from $925 million the previous week, marking the third consecutive week of positive flows. Including the approximately $1.92
