From public chain to AI video? Harmony's major pivot is baffling!

After 7 years as a public chain, Harmony is actually closing its mainnet due to a security funding shortfall and migrating $ONE to ERC-20 on Ethereum. Behind this are not only the emergence of cross-shard vulnerabilities, but also the shadow of the earlier Horizon Bridge hack, which stole $100 million. Security costs became the last straw that broke the back of an independent L1.

Harmony's new plan is surprising: enter the AI video field and launch The Remix Economy, no longer focusing on blockchain. The original validator role is also being overhauled, transforming into a Governor or GPU Operator. This kind of drastic change in direction may be a move in step with market and technological developments.

The question is: can Harmony's pivot find a new growth point in AI, or will it become another failed adventure?

Is Nike being kicked out of the S&P 100? That’s really unexpected! 🌀

Nike, once a consumer giant, has actually plunged nearly 80% since its stock price peak in 2021, shrinking its market value to about $58 billion. Even though it remains in the S&P 500, being removed from the S&P 100 shows that its market capitalization and liquidity no longer hold an advantage.

This adjustment is not only the result of changes in market-cap rankings, but also adds structural selling pressure on Nike, especially as its revenue has stagnated and the Greater China market remains under pressure. Meanwhile, companies such as Dell and Palo Alto Networks, along with other enterprise hardware and cybersecurity firms, have entered the index strongly, highlighting the rise of the tech sector.

Does Nike’s removal mean that traditional consumer goods companies are gradually losing ground in competition? #宏观经济 #regulatory_updates

Robinhood Chain's DEX trading volume has surpassed Solana's for the first time, and the reasons behind it are worth exploring in depth.

According to DeFiLlama data, on September 5, Robinhood Chain's daily DEX trading volume reached $1.89 billion, slightly exceeding Solana's $1.88 billion. This breakthrough not only put Robinhood Chain on the global daily leaderboard, but also marked the rapid expansion of its ecosystem.

Robinhood's strategy seems to be working: the wallet-side 90-day full Gas subsidy is crucial. Lower transaction costs have attracted a large number of users to participate, especially as meme token turnover surged, becoming the catalyst for the spike in trading volume.

What impact will such a zero-cost environment have on other chains? Can Solana take effective measures to defend its market position?

The collision between traditional finance and blockchain is actually mortgage loans being brought on chain?

Canada’s Pineapple Financial chose to put its residential mortgage loan records on-chain on the $INJ platform. In just a short time since launch, the scale has grown from $1 billion to $1.1 billion. Behind this lies an important message: traditional financial record systems are steadily moving into the world of blockchain.

This on-chain move is not simple. It only puts the data layer of loan files on-chain, with more than 500 data points tied to each loan, without changing the existing legal structure. This means Pineapple Financial can gradually migrate mortgage loan data to blockchain without affecting securities issuance and registration procedures.

Pineapple also holds about $100 million in the $INJ treasury and plans to launch a permissioned mortgage loan data marketplace. This is not only a disruption to the traditional financial model, but also a major transformation of the on-chain financial ecosystem.

So, in the future, will more financial institutions follow Pineapple’s lead and bring assets on-chain?

Incredible! ZEC has once again broken through the $1,000 mark!

ZEC has risen more than 100% over the past month. Just two days ago it was still hovering around $800, and now it has broken through $1,000. Such an accelerated surge is astonishing.

What ZEC now faces is a true market test. Although there have historically been quotes of several thousand dollars, liquidity was extremely poor at the time, so it is not very meaningful. If ZEC breaks above $1,300, the market will reprice it, and investors' confidence in privacy coins will face a severe test.

Is ZEC's future really a vast sea of stars?

How big is the charm of GPT-6 Astro? Even pre-heating posts attracted more than 40,000 favorites!

On September 3, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astro, but it is not fully available yet—currently only to select institutions. Paid users, API users, and AWS users need to be patient; it will be gradually rolled out later.

What’s astonishing is that on the first day, the tweet garnered over 31.7 million views, nearly 15,000 retweets, and favorites—at close to three times the number of retweets—showing strong market interest in GPT-6 Astro. OpenAI also thoughtfully promised that for paid users, every day of delayed access will come with an allowance reset, ensuring a great experience.

Demand for AI technology is heating up—will GPT-6 Astro lead the trend again?

S&P 500’s wild run toward new highs—yet why have short sellers surged?

The S&P 500 is less than 2% away from its all-time high, but short positions have risen to 3.2% of market value— the highest level since 2009. In this seemingly contradictory situation, what’s your take?

Behind this abnormal phenomenon is extreme market polarization: AI-weighted stocks such as $NVDA contribute most of the gains, while many other ordinary S&P 500 component stocks are being heavily shorted. Investors are chasing AI wealth while also hedging risk, showing that they’re uncertain about what lies ahead for the market.

Does the spike in short positions mean a correction is coming, or are investors simply being too cautious?

Will the SEC really give blockchain the green light?

This time, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has put forward a rule proposal that spans 421 pages, aiming to overhaul the transfer agent system that has been in place since the late 1970s. This means that, in the context of the securities market becoming increasingly digitized, blockchain will be incorporated into the practical operations of securities issuance and share transfers.

Transfer agents are the cornerstone of the U.S. securities market, responsible for key tasks such as maintaining shareholder records, share vesting, and distributing dividends. The SEC is not only looking to amend registration and reporting rules, but also soliciting public input on emerging technologies like on-chain recordkeeping and the custody of tokenized securities. This represents a major acknowledgment of blockchain technology’s role in the traditional financial system.

So, will blockchain technology accelerate changes in the traditional securities market? How will market participants respond to this new rule?

While selling SOL, it’s also buying back PUMP. https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs is turning itself into a super money-printing machine

As one of the largest meme coin issuers on Solana, https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs recently transferred 133,000 SOL into Kraken, worth about $13.7 million. Over the past two years, https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs has been doing similar things: first accumulating SOL transaction fees for a while, then making a concentrated transfer into Kraken. Since 2024 alone, its related addresses have already processed millions of SOL

https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs This move will use part of the platform’s revenue to buy back and burn its own PUMP tokens. In other words, when everyone trades meme coins on Solana and contributes SOL, https://t.co/pxZiT1KtGs turns some of the SOL proceeds into cash, and also uses part of the revenue to go into the market to repurchase PUMP—extracting a steady cash flow from meme coin trading

Markets are turning bullish, and the Fed may raise rates! But Trump is calling for rate cuts?

Trump has said directly that U.S. interest rates are too high, calling discussions about rate hikes absurd. However, the market doesn’t seem to agree. Data from Kalshi and Polymarket show that the probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike on September 16 has risen to 55%. This appears to be linked to the Fed’s remarks at the Jackson Hole meeting: PCE inflation is still as high as 3.7%, and the labor market remains tight—there are still no signs that inflation is on track to fall to the 2% target. The Fed’s tightening policy looks set to continue.

Notably, geopolitical tensions and rising energy prices are adding fuel to inflation. Oil prices are approaching $90. In such circumstances, if the Fed were to switch to easing due to political pressure, it would send a clear signal to the market that higher inflation can be tolerated—which is undoubtedly the last thing a central bank wants.

Do you think the Fed will stand firm and keep raising rates, or give in to political influence?

A $1.5M contract deal! Kalshi put on a show of a prediction market in the U.S. market. Shortly after being ruled that its sports contracts are gambling, Kalshi quickly secured the identity of the exclusive prediction market partner for the U.S. Open. The new CEO, Craig Tiley, taking office helped drive this rapid agreement. This is undoubtedly a bold and fast business move.

Under the cooperation agreement, the U.S. Open will exclusively support Kalshi in venue advertising and ESPN broadcasts, making it difficult for competitors such as Polymarket to gain official exposure during events. This strategy not only strengthens Kalshi’s market position, but also boosts trading volume for sports event contracts.

Kalshi’s trading volume in August reached $33.7 billion, and sports event contracts were the key driver of growth. It seems clear that Kalshi’s goal is not just to run a prediction market, but to carve out new territory in sports.

How much do you think this kind of partnership will affect other prediction market platforms?

Who could have thought that a tiny Token Launchpad could trigger a market frenzy? $PONS on the Robinhood Chain has recently been all the rage. Riding on the on-chain meme coin hype, Pons has become the most active platform—so much so that the number of new coins created in a single day has exceeded 11,000.

Behind Pons’s success is a clever mechanism: they tie Launchpad revenue to the $PONS price. 80% of protocol revenue is used to buy and burn $PONS, directly driving price appreciation. As both trading volume and price have surged, the community’s voices have grown louder—calling on @HyperliquidX to add $PONS perpetual contracts. And now, their wish has finally come true, with support up to 3x leverage.

Can this kind of model on Robinhood Chain last, or is it just another short-lived market celebration?

What a lively scene! Xu Mingxing actually publicly “fired back” at CZ, saying he was too eager to “educate” Sun Yuchen?

The trigger for this drama was that Sun Yuchen, in a lengthy post, revealed private disputes with Jing Tian, including an economic controversy of around 30 million yuan. CZ believed that marketing could be aggressive, but private details shouldn’t be overexposed. Sun Yuchen reacted quickly, saying he agreed and would let the matter be resolved through legal channels.

However, Xu Mingxing’s sudden involvement pushed the whole controversy to a new high. He joked that CZ is a “billionaire who’s just hopping on hot trends,” and also mocked CZ for needing to tell his own story first. The old grudges between the two seem to have been reignited again.

What impact will such public back-and-forth have on the direction of the crypto market?

What? OpenAI and Cursor Have Split!

OpenAI has announced the end of its partnership with Cursor, which has lasted nearly four years. The spark for this came when SpaceX acquired Cursor for $60 billion. OpenAI is unsure whether Musk’s company will comply with the service terms, so it has cut off access. Support for the existing models will only continue until November 12.

Interestingly, developers can still use their own OpenAI API key to call GPT models within Cursor. This suggests that OpenAI hasn’t completely ruled out cooperation—it has simply changed the way the partnership works and how the funding flows.

Behind this move, is OpenAI reflecting its heightened sensitivity to, and desire for, control over data usage? In the future, will more AI companies take similar steps to protect their own technology?

The automation era is here, but what about security risks? Anthropic’s Claude in Chrome gives paying users a fully automated web-browsing experience—no human confirmation needed to complete clicks, typing, navigation, and form filling. Sounds pretty cool, right?

To ensure safety, Anthropic designed two layers of defenses: the first scans for potential prompt-injection attempts, and the second checks whether each action during navigation and input complies with the user’s instructions. This design genuinely improves security.

What’s worth noting is that testing shows that, without safeguards, the attack success rate of Opus 5 is 3.8%. With the dual-layer protection in place, both Sonnet 5 and Opus 5 were not successfully attacked, and the success rate for Fable 5 drops even further to 0.3%. This suggests that automation doesn’t have to mean sacrificing security.

But the question is: as this technology becomes more widespread, will it introduce new security challenges? What do you think about balancing automation and security?

Ledger transaction replacement attack exposed! 😮

OneKey's Anzen security team successfully reproduced a Ledger transaction replacement vulnerability. Users clearly confirm transaction A, but the device ends up signing transaction B instead. An attacker only needs to control the user's computer to carry out this attack. Think about the risk—what you see on the screen is actually inconsistent with what gets signed!

Although Ledger says it has fixed this issue with multiple updates in August, users must upgrade to the latest version to ensure security. This shows that even well-known hardware wallets can’t afford to be careless—security updates must always keep up.

When faced with this kind of security challenge, how can users ensure their assets are safe? Has your Ledger been updated?
