“We digitized the data but kept the analog procedures”
Check out the latest essay from @GoBankYourself - "Engineering Obscurity" which explores the current state of privacy in the AI era, featured today in the @coincenter Peer-to-Peer newsletter
Digitization and AI have erased the costs that once protected our privacy. A new generation of cryptography is bringing them back.

We're proud to announce a new step in Malaysia's capital markets journey.
At #LIDACKL 2026, Luno Malaysia signed an Intent to Collaborate with Kenanga Investors Berhad and @HalogenCapital to explore a Ringgit-pegged stablecoin as an on-chain settlement instrument for tokenised money market funds.
Malaysia's capital markets are moving on-chain, and we're glad to help build the road.
More to come as this partnership takes shape 🤝
Today at LIDAC 2026, we signed an Intent to Collaborate (ItC) with @LunoGlobal and Kenanga Investors Berhad to explore UMYR, a Ringgit-pegged stablecoin issued by Luno Malaysia as an on-chain settlement instrument for tokenised money market funds.
As Malaysia’s early adopter of fund tokenisation, we often question how we can make institutional-scale financial settlements faster, yet highly secure.
Tokenised fund products already exist in Malaysia's market today. The next step would be an institutionally focused settlement layer under the Securities Commission Malaysia’s regulatory framework.
With this, we’ll look at how UMYR can be used to settle fund subscriptions and redemptions, as a step toward advancing Malaysia’s capital markets on-chain.
We are proud to take this step forward, alongside Luno Malaysia and Kenanga Investors Berhad.

(Nasdaq: $HSCS).

I joined Alex Shahidi on this week’s episode of the Insightful Investor podcast to talk about where digital assets are headed. It’s no surprise that included tokenization.
Tokenization has the potential to turn today’s $2-3 trillion crypto market¹ into a $700 trillion² behemoth.
@Grayscale was built for this opportunity.

Thrilled to join @FortitudeCrypto as CEO.
Fortitude has executed on a long-term conviction in Zcash and financial privacy, with owned power, owned sites, and a production track record to show for it - exactly the kind of infrastructure-driven approach I've spent my career building.
Excited to help build on what the team has created as we head toward the public markets.

Huge congratulations to @demibrener and the @OpenZeppelin team on their agreement to be acquired by @SPGlobal.
DCG invested in 2015 with a belief that onchain security would become essential as financial markets moved onchain. Today, OpenZeppelin helps secure the infrastructure powering stablecoins, tokenization, and onchain markets.
Today we are announcing that S&P Global has entered an agreement to acquire OpenZeppelin.
Onchain finance is growing from an emerging market into core financial infrastructure, and the standards and rails our team and community built are becoming the rails of global finance. OpenZeppelin smart contracts facilitated over $37 trillion in value transferred, with the vast majority of the largest DeFi protocols, blockchain networks, stablecoins and tokenized funds relying on them.
With S&P Global, we expect to accelerate the impact of onchain finance, backed by more than a century of trust in global markets, benchmarks, and risk frameworks.
To our clients and to all the users of OpenZeppelin open source tools:
• OpenZeppelin Contracts and all our open source applications and tools remain open source, free, and publicly maintained on GitHub. Building open source standards stays a core priority.
• Audits, engineering work, and ecosystem programs continue with the same team, brand, quality, and customer experience, with what will be the added benefit of S&P Global's research capacity, market data, and institutional reach.
For the last decade, OpenZeppelin has set the security standard for onchain finance. Today begins a new chapter for that mission, together with one of the most trusted names in global markets.

Statement on today’s CLARITY Act vote:
Today’s outcome is a missed opportunity for American businesses, consumers, and U.S. competitiveness, but the need for clear, predictable rules for digital assets remains as urgent as it ever has. Thank you to the members of Congress and their staff who worked tirelessly to get us this far. We will continue partnering with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to move a durable framework forward and ensure the U.S. remains the innovation capital of the digital assets industry.

August marked the best monthly performance since inception for Yuma's Total Market Fund, with an 18.3% MoM gain on a USD basis, compared with 17.9% for TAO/USD.
The performance reflects a blend of returns from across the full Bittensor ecosystem, comprised of $TAO and subnets, analogous to a '60/40' portfolio.

Stablecoin minting just got faster for businesses.
@LunoGlobal is partnering with Meridian to give corporate clients instant access to stablecoins when their USD payments land, replacing manual OTC processes that can take hours or days.
A wire landing in New York on Friday afternoon can be stablecoins in Johannesburg before desks even open Monday.
The service launched in South Africa first, with plans to expand across Southeast Asia, making it easier for businesses to access and move digital dollars through regulated infrastructure.

At #WDMS2026, Fortitude CFO @Ellingson_Erik made the bullish case for Zcash, highlighting the convergence of privacy, quantum resistance, adoption and expanding market access.
Zcash today looks a lot like Bitcoin in 2013. $ZEC $HSCS
See important additional information here: fortitudemining.com/disclaim…
"Zcash's time is now."
At #WDMS2026, Erik Ellingson, CFO of Fortitude Mining, makes the case for Zcash — 137 countries exploring CBDCs, on-chain analytics killing pseudonymity, and the Ironwood upgrade bringing quantum-resistant shielded transactions. With Coinbase & Robinhood listings, a Grayscale ETF in motion, and venture mining outperforming Bitcoin, Zcash today parallels Bitcoin in 2013.

1,000,000 TAO now staked with Yuma.
Because our validators run on owned hardware infrastructure, that's 1 million more TAO securing Bittensor's network consensus, through validator operations trusted by participants ranging from non-custodial wallet owners to global exchanges and leading institutional custodians.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has chosen Yuma Staking, helping to make us the largest hardware validator on the network.
The strongest signal in any network is participation. This milestone reflects growing conviction in Bittensor and the infrastructure that supports it.
Bittensor keeps growing. Let's keep building together. bittensor:native
