Qianwen releases Qwen-Audio-3.1 and cuts prices for the entire Qwen-Audio voice model line Qianwen officially releases the Qwen-Audio-3.1 series of speech large models. This upgrade not only fully advances the three core models—speech recognition (ASR), speech synthesis (TTS), and real-time speech interaction (Realtime)—but also introduces two new audio creation and understanding models in a big way: the new audio creation model Qwen-Audio-3.1-TTS-Next and the audio understanding model Qwen-Audio-3.1-ASR-Next. Five new speech models are released at the same time, forming a complete audio capability stack covering “understanding, generation, interaction, and creation.” To further reduce user costs, prices for Qwen-Audio’s entire voice model lineup are lowered: TTS is reduced by about 70%, Realtime by about 85%, and ASR by as much as 95%.

XRP Ledger Restarts Upgrade, Enabling Account Splitting for Payment and Compliance Permissions The PermissionDelegationV1_1 upgrade for the XRP Ledger entered a 14-day activation countdown on September 21. It had already received support from 29 of the 35 trusted validating nodes. If the support rate remains at or above 80% throughout the entire period, the upgrade can be officially activated as early as October 5 at 11:18 UTC. At least 28 validating nodes must continue to support it; otherwise, the countdown will be reset. This feature allows accounts to split permissions by role—for example, a stablecoin issuer can have an online compliance system approve customers’ accounts holding its tokens, while keeping the fully controlling keys offline. Operating accounts can receive payment permissions but cannot change keys or authorize others. Each delegate can receive up to 10 permissions, and the main account can modify or revoke them at any time. This is the network’s second attempt to introduce this feature. The original version had a vulnerability: attackers could use transactions that were not correctly signed to make others pay transaction fees, and by repeatedly submitting transactions with high fees, drain the victim’s XRP balance. The vulnerability was reported by community testers on September 15, 2025. Validating nodes were advised to reject the fix, so it was never activated. The patched version was released with xrpld 3.3.0. It changed how unauthorized transactions are rejected to ensure fees are not deducted before signature verification.

Hyperliquid open interest hits $18 billion, a new all-time high On September 23, Hyperliquid officially released data showing that open interest reached $18 billion, setting a new all-time high. This figure represents the total bilateral open interest, calculated as the sum of long and short positions. Over the past year, Hyperliquid has expanded from a crypto perpetual trading platform into an on-chain trading infrastructure capable of supporting stocks, commodities, indices, pre-IPO contracts, and event contracts. Launched in October 2025, HIP-3 allows third parties to stake HYPE and then deploy perpetual markets on their own, covering assets such as U.S. stocks, gold, crude oil, the S&P 500, and even certain unlisted companies such as SpaceX. By early September 2026, cumulative trading volume in HIP-3 markets has exceeded $548 billion, accounting for about one-third of the platform’s total trading volume over the most recent 30 days. HIP-4, launched in May 2026, filled the gap for prediction markets and event contracts, and by the end of August it was further opened to third-party deployments. Around the same time, 21Shares, Bitwise, Grayscale, and others successively launched HYPE spot or staking-based ETFs. The platform also rolled out native lending and advanced a license-based HIP-3 market for U.S. users.

Malicious iOS App FomoPeek Linked to Theft of Nearly $580,000 in Cryptocurrency Assets The malicious iOS app FomoPeek was found to contain multiple kernel exploit modules that can break out of Apple’s sandbox and access sensitive wallet data from other apps.

Vitalik: Ethereum aims to reduce finality confirmation to 8–32 seconds within 5 years In his opening speech at the 2026 Shanghai Blockchain Week, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said that cryptographic technologies previously thought to be far from practical—such as FHE (fully homomorphic encryption), obfuscation techniques, and iO—are rapidly advancing. He added that blockchains will shift from the past focus of mainly solving “who can send what assets” to an era where programming can determine “who can see what information.” Taking FOCIL (EIP-7805) as an example, Vitalik said the proposal plans for 16 validators to jointly provide the list of transactions included, reducing the ability of a single block builder to censor or delay transactions. He said that over the next five years, more computation will be completed in parallel across user devices, the mempool, and the block-building stage. Ethereum will also continue to drive finality confirmation from the current roughly 16 minutes down to 8–32 seconds.
