Odaily Planet Daily News: The Algorand Foundation has released a quantum-resistant upgrade roadmap, planning to initiate a series of protocol upgrades in 2026 and achieve the network's overall "quantum security" capability by the end of 2027 to 2028, in response to the potential threat that future quantum computing poses to existing cryptographic systems. The roadmap shows that the first phase will introduce a post-quantum account system, multi-signature wallets, and staking support, followed by a gradual upgrade of core protocol components to achieve a comprehensive cryptographic migration from the wallet layer to the infrastructure. It is reported that multiple public blockchain ecosystems, including the Ethereum Foundation and Solana, have also initiated similar research into post-quantum cryptography and migration planning.

Odaily Planet Daily News: With potential IPOs of tech companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic on the horizon, California is expected to see a wave of IPO-related tax revenue growth, but the actual scale and predictability remain highly uncertain. It is reported that a SpaceX IPO could become one of the most significant tax windfalls in California's history. However, due to its special employee equity incentive structure (RSU single-trigger vesting mechanism) and long-term prepaid tax arrangements, a portion of the tax revenue has already been realized before the IPO, weakening the traditional model of “concentrated IPO tax boom.”

California’s Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) noted that compared to Facebook’s 2012 IPO, which generated approximately $1.3 billion in taxes, current mega-IPOs theoretically have higher tax potential. However, due to complex employee stock ownership structures, early share sales, and increased use of tax avoidance tools, actual revenue may be more dispersed and harder to predict. Overall, while California stands to benefit from a “super IPO cycle,” the tax structure is shifting from a “concentrated one-time windfall” to a “long-term distributed realization,” making fiscal gains more volatile and uncertain.

Odaily reported that on-chain security researcher Specter posted on X, stating that THORChain has not resumed normal operations for over a month after suspending all transactions due to a security vulnerability incident. The protocol previously did not choose to suspend transactions during other security incidents or suspicious fund flows; it even continued operating simple ETH-BTC paths. However, after becoming the affected party this time, it completely halted cross-chain transactions, sparking community discussion about the consistency of its risk management. Currently, THORChain on-chain trading remains completely stagnant, with almost no transactions on the entire chain. The recovery timeline remains unclear, and Specter reminds community users to "stay alert."

Odaily reports that Caixin has published an article stating that "Token Export" is currently not a standard concept in regulatory documents or corporate annual reports. There is also no fully disclosed case in the open market that covers both "overseas clients invoking Tokens from China's AI data centers" and "completing cross-border payments, clearing, and final settlement via central bank digital currencies."

Discussions surrounding cross-border payments using central bank digital currencies are shifting from the grand narrative of monetary sovereignty and international financial competition towards newer scenarios based on more practical transactions. Among these, the AI inference service "Token Export" is seen as a potentially key entry point. This essentially packages model capabilities, computing power, electricity, data centers, and industry engineering expertise into tradable AI services for export. The core value of a central bank digital currency lies in its attribute as a "trusted settlement protocol." This includes the final settlement capability of central bank money, efficiency in real-time cross-border clearing, programmable payment functionality, multi-party automated revenue-sharing mechanisms, and embedded regulatory transparency. When combined with enterprise-level AI service metering systems, it can create a closed-loop process from invocation and billing to clearing and settlement.

Odaily reported that Blockchain Digital Infrastructure, a US-listed digital infrastructure developer and operator, announced it has raised an additional $8.25 million through a public offering of common stock.

Odaily Planet Daily News "White-Haired Stock God" trader Serenity stated that when he points out a bottleneck in a certain industry, one should simultaneously consider going long on related assets. He recalled previously discussing the MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) supply chain bottleneck, and related stocks have seen significant gains over the past two months, including:

Taiyo Yuden: up approximately 211.38%

Vishay Intertechnology: up approximately 146.15%

Murata: up approximately 155.43%

Serenity noted that this market rally "completed within two months" and joked about missing the opportunity for gains. This case once again reflects the amplifying effect of supply chain tightness expectations in the semiconductor and passive component sectors on stock prices, as well as the high volatility characteristics of event-driven trading within short cycles.

Odaily reported that Anthropic has released the results of Phase Two of "Project Fetch," evaluating performance improvements of its latest model in real-world robotic operations. Conducted in August 2025, the experiment tasked non-roboticist Anthropic employees with completing a series of complex operations using off-the-shelf quadruped robots. The performance of "teams assisted by Claude models" was compared against those relying solely on "human effort and the internet." The results showed that under fully autonomous operation of the latest model, Claude Opus 4.7, the average speed across all completable tasks significantly surpassed that of human teams, with execution speeds at least 10 times faster.

Anthropic states that this progress is not the result of specialized robot training but rather an extension of the capabilities of general-purpose large models. The company notes that AI is transitioning from "assisting humans in using tools" to the early stages of "directly manipulating physical tools," a path similar to the evolution towards agentic programming previously seen in software engineering.

Odaily Planet Daily News: US President Trump stated, "The war has weakened Iran; it no longer has an air force, navy, air defense equipment, radar, or almost nothing at all. Yet those 'stupid Democrats' claim Iran is in a better position now than four months ago. Can you imagine someone talking nonsense without facing consequences??? How stupid can some people get? It's not that we are eager to meet—it's Iran. They are finished! We will hold firm for 60 days. They won't get a dime, not a single penny!" (Jin Shi)

Odaily Bitcoin mining company GoMining announced the launch of its payment protocol GoBTC Pay, along with open SDK and API, allowing merchants to directly integrate a Bitcoin payment system for daily goods and service settlements.

This solution is seen as a direct competitor to the Block (Square) payment system. Unlike platforms such as Square that typically convert merchant settlements into fiat currency, GoMining emphasizes that its entire system processes settlements in Bitcoin without relying on default fiat conversion. GoMining stated that merchants can complete transaction settlements through GoBTC Pay on the Bitcoin network, with an average confirmation time of approximately 12 hours, and it operates based on its Stratum V2 mining protocol. The system's transaction fee is approximately 0.2%, split proportionally between the wallet provider and miners. (CoinDesk)

Odaily reported that Anthropic's official Claude team stated that earlier today, approximately 3% of Claude Code Max and Pro users encountered a system bug, which caused the interface to display incorrect weekly usage limits and, in some cases, prevented users from sending messages. In response, the official team stated that affected users will receive compensation, including a reset of their 5-hour and weekly usage limit quotas. The issue has now been fully resolved.
