Odaily Report: With two weeks to go until US midterm election day, Republicans face a grim political landscape. According to a poll jointly conducted by The Washington Post, ABC News, and Ipsos, US President Trump's approval rating has fallen to a new low, while Democrats are gaining ground in the fight for congressional control as inflationary pressures mount and voter dissatisfaction grows. Trump's approval rating currently stands at 33%, with a disapproval rating of 66%; among them, 52% of respondents said they strongly disapprove of his performance. This approval rating is down 8 percentage points from the same period last year and lower than at any point during his first term. The poll also found that, for the first time in more than a decade, Democrats have earned higher voter trust than Republicans on economic governance. The overall results of the new poll show that American voters have lost confidence in the president, are deeply concerned about Trump's decision to launch a war against Iran, and are bearing the economic impact of the war, especially the toll of rising gasoline prices on household finances.

Odaily report: BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, is exploring expanding the application of tokenized assets from the crypto market to traditional finance, enabling them not only to serve as collateral but also to be used for payments. The company's tokenized money market fund BUIDL, launched in 2024, has seen its assets under management grow to approximately $2.3 billion. It has since launched related products in the United States and Europe, and in September of this year received approval to launch a HKD-denominated digital liquidity fund.

BlackRock is shifting its focus from issuing stocks, bonds, and money market funds on blockchain networks to improving how these assets are transferred and used as collateral. Through tokenization, investors can directly transfer their holdings to other investors or use them as trading collateral without first redeeming them for cash. Nikhil Sharma, a director on BlackRock's digital assets team, said that early users of tokenized funds were primarily crypto market participants, and the key going forward is to build bridging mechanisms so that traditional financial institutions can use tokenized products without having to build separate systems of their own.

Odaily reports: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a preview of biographer Walter Isaacson's new podcast "The Builders" that cutting government spending cannot fundamentally solve the US fiscal deficit problem, and that AI and robots are the only way to solve the US national debt problem.

Reflecting on his experience leading the US Department of Government Efficiency, Musk pointed out that Trump, Congress, and the judicial system all lack the will to truly cut government spending. He admitted that he had previously devoted too much time to government affairs, and if he could choose again, his formal tenure should have been shortened to one or two months rather than four, and he should have shifted his energy back to the AI field earlier.

Odaily: Mark Karpelès, former CEO of Mt.Gox, posted on the X platform, questioning that Ledger's statements about hardware wallet security contradict its official technical documentation.

Karpelès pointed out that Ledger customer service previously claimed that the secure element chip is capable of detecting physical tampering and signal interception by additional hardware implants, but Ledger's official documentation explicitly states that when the secure element chip remains intact, the genuine check cannot identify unauthorized physical modifications, including malicious implants.

In addition, Ledger had shown photos of such implants in an Academy article in March 2026. Karpelès believes this indicates that Ledger was previously aware of and had documented the relevant security threats, and that its external security claims directly contradict its technical documentation, allegedly misleading consumers.
