Odaily News: Lily Liu, Chair of the Solana Foundation, stated at the Token 2049 event in Singapore that the crypto market recovery trend is expected to continue over the next 12 months, despite AI drawing more investor attention and capital. She believes that the core of tokenization is not about competing with traditional retail trading platforms, but rather about leveraging blockchain to expand global investors' access to U.S. assets. Currently, about 160 countries worldwide together account for only approximately 5% of global stock market capitalization, leaving room for blockchain and tokenized assets to expand into global markets.

Odaily News: On October 7, at the TOKEN2049 event in Singapore, OKX founder and CEO Star stated that AI's impact on the financial industry is not limited to the user end but is also penetrating deeply into back-office operations such as compliance and risk control. OKX has already applied AI to assist in identifying risks, supporting investigations into suspicious transactions and behavior, and providing recommendations, in order to improve processing efficiency and execution consistency. Currently, AI does not directly make compliance or risk management decisions; final decisions are still made by humans.

At the event, Andrew Cuomo, a member of the OKX board of directors and former Governor of New York, also added that clear regulatory rules are an important foundation for fintech companies to expand their services. For companies to provide financial services to a broader user base, they must comply with regulatory requirements and build public trust through compliant operations.

Odaily News: Solana tokenized silver project Dominion has announced its shutdown. The team stated that a September security incident led to a large amount of SILV being exploited and sold off, followed by a liquidity collapse, loss of operating capital, and damage to market structure. The capital required for rebuilding now exceeds the project's remaining resources. Dominion has allocated most of its remaining liquid funds to a refund plan, allowing eligible pre-attack SILV holders to exit at $63 per token. SILV was originally designed as a Solana token backed 1:1 by physical silver, with each token corresponding to 1 troy ounce of silver. On September 11, attackers gained control of its 3/5 multisig keys and dumped approximately 46,900 SILV into a DEX with thin liquidity. The notional value before the attack was approximately $3 million, but only about $238,000 was ultimately cashed out.

Odaily reports: Gonçalo Magalhães, Head of Security at Immunefi, stated that an unnamed Base vault suffered an approximately $6 million exploit, while still holding around $31.7 million in assets at the time of the incident. According to a briefing, the attacker used a Safe multisig wallet to add a malicious contract to the vault's lending whitelist, then withdrew 1,783 aBaswstETH and swapped it for approximately 1,783 wstETH via AaveV3. Gonçalo Magalhães noted that while whitelisted addresses may appear secure, approved addresses can withdraw assets without collateral, constituting a vulnerability; this whitelist weakness had been discovered the previous week, but researchers lacked a clear disclosure channel. More than 24 hours after the incident, no team had publicly claimed responsibility or disclosed remediation measures.

Odaily News: Jan van Eck stated that approving more nuclear power projects could simultaneously boost AI and Bitcoin: on one hand by enhancing AI value, and on the other by easing Bitcoin selling pressure through providing cheaper energy to miners. Bipartisan support for nuclear energy in the U.S. is strong, with the goal of quadrupling nuclear power output within 25 years, as evidenced by the accelerated restart of the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor. Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck, stated that miners hold long-term power contracts and infrastructure, possessing undervalued optionality value; if miners shift toward AI contract revenue, their pressure to sell Bitcoin will correspondingly decrease.
