South Korea's KOSPI closes up 1.53%, with Samsung and SK Hynix both rising.

Fu Peng, chief economist at Xinhuo Group, published an article noting that while NVIDIA’s latest financial results have beaten expectations for 15 consecutive quarters, the market has shown a lukewarm response to the figures themselves. Indicators such as stock prices and option volatility show that market investors are currently “more concerned about the future: whether the free cash flow at the center of future stock indices can be delivered smoothly, and how long the momentum of AI growth can be sustained. These issues actually carry more weight than single-quarter financial performance, so even if this quarter’s results exceed Wall Street expectations by a few percentage points, they cannot change the denominator side of valuation.” Fu Peng believes that Jensen Huang’s explicit statement in the earnings call that “the inflection point for AI has arrived” is essentially a move to calm the market, aimed at strengthening confidence in the formation of a closed-loop AI industry chain and easing concerns over overinvestment. Going forward, investors should observe how long it takes the market to digest this round of confidence boost, the elevated expectations brought by Jensen Huang, and how long this sentiment will last. If the sentiment fades quickly, it indicates the market’s typical mindset of “not acting until seeing results” (the Chinese idiom for waiting for concrete proof before acting). The impact of repeated confidence boosts and reassurances from manufacturers is actually gradually weakening, a trend that can be clearly observed from the duration of market volatility following each earnings call.

Circle co-founder and CEO Jeremy Allaire tweeted that StableFX is set to launch on the mainnet. The institutional-grade stablecoin foreign exchange engine had previously launched on the Arc public testnet. It covers local currency stablecoins from major and emerging markets, supports near-instant, 24/7 on-demand settlement, uses a payment-versus-payment (PvP) mechanism—where both parties receive funds simultaneously or neither does—to reduce capital occupation, and enables access to multiple vetted counterparties via a single onboarding process.

According to security firm Defimon’s monitoring, a vulnerability has been detected on Web3 game ecosystem development platform Enjin, resulting in losses of approximately $142,000. Enjin’s ERC-1155 “Crypto Items” allow each item to route transfers via a dedicated item adapter. Attackers registered and used a malicious transfer adapter that bypassed owner approval checks, enabling their exploit contract to call transferFrom without approval to siphon ENJ-supported items from around 52 unrelated holders’ wallets (via legitimate TransferSingle events, with no setApprovalForAll required). Afterwards, the attackers called melt() on each stolen item, redeeming 500 ENJ per item from the platform’s reserves.

Bitcoin multi-signature hardware wallet Frostsnap has released version 0.4.0, fixing two security vulnerabilities, and confirmed no user funds have been lost so far. The two flaws are: FSA-2026-001: Malicious signature requests can mark a transaction output as belonging to the user’s wallet; the device does not verify this claim or display it on the confirmation screen, which could lead to funds being sent to addresses the user has never encountered. FSA-2026-002: Change addresses may fall outside the wallet’s recovery scan range, causing apparent missing funds after backup and recovery, though the funds actually remain in the wallet. After the update, the app will prompt users to upgrade their device firmware, and firmware downgrade protection has been added. The team advises updating both the app and firmware without delay.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) stated at today’s offline Hong Kong meetup for his book *Binance Life* that many people have inquired about Binance’s hiring logic. Though he no longer participates heavily in candidate selection, he emphasized that initiative is essential. Noting that many remote roles may lead to employees slacking off, he explained that unproactive staff might fail to deliver results even after two months. He added that he does not actively track work progress, instead waiting for employees to submit updates, hence why initiative is far more important than waiting for bosses to check on performance.

Binance founder CZ stated at today's offline "Binance Life" book club meetup in Hong Kong that the development of real-world assets (RWA) has far outpaced his expectations. He noted that many people wish to buy US stocks but face barriers to opening trading accounts, adding that tokenized stocks would make global trading much more accessible. CZ encouraged industry participants to build in the RWA space, which encompasses numerous sub-sectors including stablecoins, though he pointed out that real estate tokenization may be more challenging due to insufficient price volatility.
