According to a report by the Economic Daily, Apple's first foldable device, the iPhone Duo, quickly sold out after its launch on October 23 on the official website and major channels, with all models sold out on the same day. The second wave of shipments is expected to arrive on January 22, 2027. Supply chain sources indicate that Apple has requested its partners to expedite production and increase orders by 30%, with optimism surrounding Hon Hai, TSMC, and New Kinpo Group benefiting from this.The report states that scalper prices once reached NT$100,000, a premium of about 33% over the minimum entry price of NT$74,900. Industry insiders noted that the initial stock was insufficient, affected by assembly yield rates and demand exceeding Apple's expectations. Market research firms originally anticipated a stock volume of only 6 million units this year, which was later revised up to 8 million to 10 million units, with shipments expected to reach 33 million units by 2027, and it is estimated that it could capture about 40% of the global foldable device market next year.Supply chain sources indicate that the complete assembly is exclusively handled by Hon Hai, the core processor chips are manufactured by TSMC, and key bearing components are supplied by a joint venture between Hon Hai and New Kinpo Group, with Amphenol as the second supplier. The industry believes that insufficient production capacity is mainly limited by bearing capacity and the difficulty of complete assembly. The above content is a summary of supply chain and market research estimates and is not an official announcement from Apple.

The Bitcoin wallet Electrum officially announced the release of version 4.8.3, stating that this update fixes a serious security issue and urges all users to upgrade. The official statement indicates that detailed information about the vulnerability will be released later.Its GitHub changelog marks 4.8.3 as a security update, with a release date of October 23. The Electrum official website reminds users to only download the software from the official website and to verify the GPG digital signature to confirm the source and integrity of the installation package.

According to EmberCN monitoring, the trader "Salem1299534" liquidated their holdings of 20.06 million AI approximately 2 hours ago, exchanging them for 461 ETH, worth about 1.09 million USD. This sell-off caused the AI price to drop 15% instantly.The trader previously invested about 980,000 USD to buy AI and ultimately sold it for approximately 3.12 million USD, realizing a total profit of about 2.14 million USD.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase stated that its custody holds about 5% of the total existing Bitcoin and urged Bitcoin developers to immediately address the threat of quantum computing. Coinbase pointed out that changes to Bitcoin consensus and ecological migration may take years and cannot wait until quantum computers capable of breaking signatures appear.Coinbase suggested adopting a flexible "container" design similar to BIP-360 to gradually replace quantum-resistant signature systems; it also proposed a phased implementation of a "1-of-2" scheme, allowing the same funds to be spent during the transition period using either traditional keys or quantum-resistant keys. This scheme also needs to be compatible with multi-party computation (MPC) key splitting mechanisms. Coinbase stated that dormant, lost, and Bitcoin held from the Satoshi era are separate governance issues, and any rescue mechanism itself must also possess quantum resistance. In January of this year, Coinbase established a quantum advisory council; in July, it joined the Bitcoin Security Alliance with BlackRock and Strategy, committing a total of $15 million for Bitcoin's quantum-resistant transformation.

According to on-chain analyst Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens), a newly created wallet received 110,000 HYPE (approximately 9.73 million USD) from another wallet and immediately staked all the tokens after receiving them.

According to the South China Morning Post, former U.S. officials stated that Chinese semiconductor factories have stockpiled hundreds of immersion lithography machines worth billions of dollars in recent years and urged Washington and its allies to stop further exports. The Centre for Technology & Statecraft, established in August 2026, released a report in late September estimating that by early 2026, Chinese wafer fabs had acquired approximately 343 immersion deep ultraviolet lithography systems. The report was co-authored by former U.S. export control official Nicholas Brown and former White House and Department of Commerce technology policy advisor Saif Khan.The report estimates that about 270 of these are ASML Twinscan NXT:1980i. The authors claim that although these devices lag behind extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, they can be modified for the production of 7-nanometer logic chips and advanced memory required for artificial intelligence processors (including Huawei's Ascend series). Chinese wafer fabs spent over $13 billion in 2024 to purchase about 90 NXT:1980i units, and acquired another 89 units in 2025. ASML disclosed that, by destination, China accounted for 41% of its net system sales in 2024, 33% in 2025, dropping to 19% in the first quarter of 2026 and 14% in the second quarter.Since September 2023, the Netherlands has required export licenses for the NXT:2000i and more advanced immersion deep ultraviolet equipment, effectively banning these models from being shipped to China; a year later, the licensing requirements were extended to the NXT:1980i, but this model can still be approved for shipment on a case-by-case basis.

The Core Lightning team, which develops the open-source Bitcoin Lightning Network node software, has issued an urgent alert stating that reports indicate attackers are targeting nodes that have not installed patches, urging operators still running old versions to upgrade immediately. The team stated: "Emergency security update: If you are using version 26.06.7 or earlier, please upgrade to the latest release as soon as possible."Prior to this, Core Lightning began investigating a potential issue that could affect its experimental features and, in turn, impact user funds on September 16, and approximately six days later, version 26.06.8 was released. This update not only fixed several defects but also provided patches for security vulnerabilities reported responsibly by multiple parties, thanking the Bitcoin Red Team and 12 other individuals and organizations in the release notes, while also acknowledging anonymous reporters.According to the changelog, this round of fixes covers a bug that could cause sender nodes to crash, requests that could exhaust REST interface memory, and a vulnerability that could result in user funds facing confiscation losses when closing payment channels. To provide operators with ample upgrade windows and prevent attackers from taking advantage of reverse engineering and exploitation, this version intentionally obscured some testing content. Additionally, in August of this year, the project initiated a collaborative fixing process after reviewing a large number of AI-generated general vulnerability disclosure reports, and two days later released version 26.06.7 to close confirmed vulnerabilities.

The core provisions of the regulatory framework for payment stablecoins in Florida, USA, will take effect on October 1, 2026.According to the state's Bill 2026 Chapter 176, engaging in the business of qualified payment stablecoin issuers in the state generally requires a license or must meet exemption conditions; qualified issuers must maintain at least a 1:1 identifiable reserve, which includes cash, funds in Federal Reserve accounts, qualified bank deposits, U.S. Treasury securities with a remaining maturity of no more than 93 days, and qualified government money market funds, among others. They must also publicly disclose redemption policies, disclose reserve composition monthly, accept monthly audits by certified public accountants, and be certified by the CEO and CFO.If the total issuance of payment stablecoins by state-level issuers reaches $10 billion, unless a federal exemption is obtained, they must transition to the corresponding federal regulatory framework within 360 days or suspend new issuances until the scale falls below the threshold.

According to Quit monitoring, the Payment Processor V2 (PPV2) vulnerability attack is still ongoing. Even if users are not affected by the incident, as long as the relevant authorization has not been revoked, assets may still be at risk, and it is recommended to revoke the authorization immediately.About 1 hour ago, a certain address lost 0.15246 WETH in the next block after accepting a quote and receiving funds. The attacker paid 99% of it as a tip to Titan Builder, keeping only about 0.0015 ETH, which is almost impossible to recover through front-running. Quit suggests that OpenSea should check whether there are still risk authorizations before users accept quotes and require users to revoke them first; when transferring NFTs, it should also check whether the receiving address has relevant authorizations left.

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts Jason Thomas stated that the Federal Reserve's implementation of a 25 basis point interest rate hike is under "great pressure."

The G7 Cybersecurity Working Group stated in its latest report that quantum computing poses security threats to both public and private institutions, as well as economic threats, and relevant organizations should begin migrating to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) immediately. The working group noted that the migration process could take several years, and attackers can currently collect and store encrypted data to decrypt it once sufficiently powerful quantum computers become available.Quantum computing may also break digital signatures, leading to identity theft and exposing businesses and their supply chains. The report did not mention cryptocurrencies, but similar public key cryptography is used for blockchain wallets and transaction authorizations. Currently, quantum computers are unable to break Bitcoin's cryptography, but developers are considering post-quantum solutions such as BIP-360. Ethereum researchers plan to replace several cryptographic components used by accounts, validators, and applications. The Solana Foundation has tested post-quantum signatures on its testnet and launched an optional hash-based vault. The G7 working group also urged governments to support relevant research, public-private collaboration, and national PQC strategies.

Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that Core Lightning version 26.06.7 has been released, fixing multiple vulnerabilities disclosed responsibly over the past three weeks. The AI-generated security reports for the open-source Bitcoin project have recently increased, and specific vulnerability information will be kept confidential for two weeks to allow node operators to complete upgrades before the technical details and source code are disclosed.Developers warn that immediate disclosure of the fixes could allow attackers to reverse-engineer the vulnerabilities and subsequently attack nodes that have not yet been updated. All Core Lightning node operators should upgrade immediately. Currently, the Docker image is not available, and developers explicitly warn users not to wait for the Docker image.

According to Digital Asset, Park Soo-young, a member of the Korean National Power Party, criticized the government's plan to tax virtual asset gains, stating that it is "a threat of a tax bomb if one does not invest in the domestic stock market," and demanded an immediate withdrawal.Member Park Soo-young stated on her YouTube channel: "I hope this punitive tax plan that puts 13 million digital asset users in danger can be withdrawn immediately." She added, "This does not mean that people will invest in domestic stocks; on the contrary, it will only accelerate the outflow of national wealth." She cited that approximately 124 trillion won flowed into overseas digital asset exchanges from January to September last year.

According to monitoring by The Data Nerd, a certain whale held 40,000 ETH a week ago, and 2 hours ago withdrew 50,000 ETH from Binance and immediately staked it, increasing the holding size to 90,000 ETH, worth approximately $170 million.

Meta Platforms (META.O) launched Muse Glimmer, an open-source agent model that can run on Mac or PC.

According to CoinDesk, U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune officially submitted a procedural motion for the Clarity Act after an all-night voting session on Saturday morning, initiating the first procedural voting process for the bill in the Senate. This move makes it possible for the Clarity Act to enter procedural voting immediately after the September recess, but the bill has already missed the voting window before the August recess, and passing in September still faces challenges.The Clarity Act requires at least 60 votes in support, and currently needs the backing of at least 10 Democratic senators, but there are still disagreements over the ethical clause that prohibits senior government officials (including President Trump) from participating in cryptocurrency projects. Bipartisan senators have submitted a revised proposal to the White House, but it has been on hold for at least a week without a response. Additionally, controversies surrounding illegal financial protections and stablecoin earnings remain unresolved. If the procedural vote fails in September, the chances of the Clarity Act passing this year will be extremely slim, and the new Congress in 2027 will need to reintroduce the legislation.

According to Decrypt, the Bitcoin payment processing project BTCPay Server has warned users of a serious vulnerability in its servers that is currently under active attack. Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access and cause financial loss. Administrators are required to upgrade to version 2.4.2 immediately and confirm that the server footer shows the update is complete.If an upgrade cannot be performed in a timely manner, the official recommendation is for users to temporarily shut down BTCPay Server to prevent further attacks. Additionally, BTCPay Server advises users to change any potentially exposed macaroons credentials, recreate the macaroons.db file, and refresh the authentication strings for other Lightning Network backends.

According to Jinshi reports, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Gulf region at the United Nations headquarters in New York, urging the full restoration of international navigation rights and freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Mandeb, and surrounding areas, and to resolve disputes through diplomatic means.Guterres pointed out that the military escalation in the Gulf region has been ongoing for six months, affecting global stability, leading to a contraction in trade and disruptions in energy markets.

According to Jinshi reports, on July 31, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded at a regular press conference to reports about the possibility of the United States taking military action against Cuba. Mao Ning stated that China has repeatedly clarified its position, and the U.S. should immediately stop threatening Cuba with force and cease its unilateral blockade and sanctions against Cuba. China will continue to support Cuba in maintaining its national sovereignty and oppose foreign interference.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Senate on Thursday to pass the Clarity Act, stating that the House of Representatives passed the bill over a year ago, and staff from the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees have since engaged in thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations on the revisions. Bessent stated that the bill will strengthen consumer protections and anti-money laundering requirements, and provide regulatory certainty for digital assets. He also mentioned that the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act provisions in the Clarity Act will protect decentralized software developers, clarifying that they are not subject to the registration requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act.Bessent criticized Senate Democrats for delaying the vote for political reasons, stating that the relevant vote will determine whether the U.S. continues to maintain its global leadership in digital assets. At the end of his post, he quoted Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto: "If you don't believe me or don't understand, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry." The Clarity Act aims to establish a federal framework for the U.S. digital asset market and allocate regulatory responsibilities for digital assets to the SEC and CFTC, with most crypto assets typically falling under CFTC jurisdiction. Senate Majority Leader John Thune recently stated that the bill is not expected to pass the Senate before the August recess.
