gold vs bitcoin 🤺
In the 19th century, aluminum was more valuable than gold.
It was considered a luxury metal, prized for its rarity and appearance.
Then, in 1886, a breakthrough in electrolysis collapsed the cost of production.
Today, aluminum costs ~$1/lb and is everywhere.
Gold next.

Huge risk of mitm attacks
The most accurate security advisory of the year fit in 5 words! Someone obtained the private keys of eight intermediate certificate authorities, which means they could issue a trusted certificate for any website on the internet. To prove it, the reporter signed the same short note with all eight keys: “We have a problem here.” Chrome, Apple, Firefox blocked the certificates. They are revoked but that helps software that actually checks revocation. And most software has bad track record here. The real fix falls to those who maintain list of trusted certificates. Ubuntu, Arch, Go, Python and Rust shipped patches. Debian, FreeBSD, “pending" emudhra.we-have-a-problem.co…
Crazy supply chain attack!
I've put together a research page on the Ledger implants I've found in order to organize my findings and future research. The next steps will be to analyze each SIM card as well as each MCU (firmware extraction, etc).

Some official guidance on recognizing if your ledger is altered or not:

teams like Samsung don’t make decisions like this lightly- they need systems that work reliably at scale and products that genuinely benefit their users. in Solana and USDC they get both
congratulations to the teams for putting this together!

Across 21 major software companies, including Apple, AWS, Microsoft, and Google:
- Reported critical vulnerabilities never cleared 100 per month in four years
- Since spring they've jumped to over 600 per month
Kevin Mandia on finding 90+ security holes at Fortune 500 companies that nobody knew existed:
"When you have an AI-based attack, it'll find logic flaws rather than code flaws in custom applications. It'll exhaust all routes all the time."
"Armadin, since January of this year, we have found over 90 zero-days at customer sites, all in production."
"We've post-trained all our models with real red teamers, real folks that actually can develop exploits."
"When we're scanning networks, we don't have source code to review. We're not finding these zero-days with source code. We're not finding these zero-days because we can log into an app and now we have access, and we can get to other things. We are black box coming from the internet."
"Over 90 zero-days in major software companies, and they're thankful. We're coming from the outside, and then we're calling a CISO, usually within 48 hours, 'Hey, we've got remote code execution in your DMZ.' And usually from there we're getting in, and they agree with us."
"That's not a pen test. That is like a real adversary coming at you."

Tokenized equities are breaking records, and we are still early.
The total market cap of onchain tokenized stocks is now up to a record $3.5 billion.
That marks another +33% increase in this month and +860% growth year-over-year.
Growth has accelerated after the SEC's recent Innovation Exemption was announced.
This grants onchain platforms a 5-year "sandbox period" to legally trade tokenized versions of real US stocks.
As a result, Jupiter, the largest onchain platform which is leading the push into tokenized assets, has seen a +104% surge in tokenized equity trading volume this month.
The push toward tokenization is in full-swing.
Agentic AI x Crypto rails
Our latest research paper explores the growing connection between AI and digital assets and explains why broad AI adoption may drive new demand, utility and applications across the digital asset economy. blackrock.com/us/individual/…
Big if true
JUST IN: Our sources are saying it’s a major fund that has the green light from the SEC. We're hearing could be Fidelity, ARK Invest, or BlackRock.
These players will be able to tokenize funds and to trade the underlyings against their fund, meaning they can trade the fund itself as a token onchain and also the underlying.
This would have major ramifications in the asset management industry here in the US if this is true as it would mean all funds would scramble to issue native equity tokens for their shares.
Our latest update sounds a lot more concrete, which leads to believe this rumor is indeed true.
We patiently wait for SEC Chair Atkins' word on the matter.

Who is watching the equity vs debt/cds action ? 👀
Over the next five years, US data center capacity will grow from 25 gigawatts to 70 gigawatts, part of a global buildout costing roughly $5t.
Where will the money come from?

$MRN is soaring on news about a personalized cancer vaccine.
Those who soaked up shares during the COVID hype bubble five years ago would be down 70% today (even after today's pop).
Be very careful about buying into hype, not substance.

MYBW26 (@MalaysiaBCW) was a blast! 🇲🇾
Two packed days of conversations around onchain capital markets, RWAs and the infrastructure needed to bring more capital onchain.
The MoonUp booth stayed busy throughout the event, and we welcomed 500+ new signups in just 48 hours. 🔥
Our CEO @Yas_MoonUp also represented MoonUp on the institutional stage for the panel “Can Prediction Markets Become Institutional-Grade Products?”, alongside Kamron (@kkama0011) from @Hashlock_, Ee Wui Yang (@wuiyangee) from @e23_io, moderated by Eason Chai (@easonchaiii) from @foresightnow.
Big shoutout as well to @Mat_MoonUp, and to Cynthia @CryptoCyn from @cartesiproject, who was with us throughout the two days. 🙌
Great to see so many builders, investors and institutions in one place.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, tested MoonUp and shared feedback with the team.
Malaysia, we’ll be back. 🇲🇾
