Grayscale’s ZEC spot ETF has recorded net inflows of over $34 million since its listing, while ZEC has surged more than 30% over the same period.

Morgan Stanley forecasts that despite Federal Reserve Chair Christopher Waller’s hawkish signals at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, the U.S. central bank will hold interest rates steady. Current inflation data may provide the Fed with justification to stay patient. The bank projects August’s core CPI will rise 0.23% month-on-month, while core PCE will increase 0.20% month-on-month. Moreover, revisions to PCE data could pull core PCE’s year-on-year growth from 3.3% to roughly 3.1%, further backing a pause in interest rate adjustments. Waller’s hawkish remarks are more likely intended to preserve policy flexibility rather than hint at an imminent new rate hike cycle.

Beating AI Express (Insight) reports: Anthropic has launched a free Claude Content Checker, which can detect content credentials left by Claude in images, videos, and audio files. Ironically, Claude’s primary generated content is text, and it does not have traditional image or video generation models—yet this public detector cannot check text. Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 have started adding invisible watermarks to generated text, but the corresponding detection API is currently in private testing, only available to select media outlets, research institutions, and regulatory bodies.

Beating AI News reports: Microsoft AI has launched MAI-Transcribe-2, now available in public preview on Microsoft Foundry. The new model supports 60 languages, adding speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, and domain-specific term biasing. Developers can pre-load names, drug terms, or industry jargon to reduce mishearing of rare words. The most notable improvement is speed. In non-real-time transcription tests by Artificial Analysis, MAI-Transcribe-2 achieved approximately 410.7x real-time speed, meaning a 1-hour audio recording can theoretically be processed in around 9 seconds. GPT-Transcribe clocked in at around 40x, making MAI-Transcribe-2 roughly 10 times faster; Gemini 3.5 Transcribe hit about 89.8x. Accuracy is also among the top tier. In FLEURS’ 60-language test, it posted an average Word Error Rate (WER, lower is better) of 5.2%, ranking first; in another non-real-time English test by Artificial Analysis, it had a WER of 2.0%, placing second, only trailing Alibaba’s Fun-Realtime-ASR-preview at 1.7%. Pricing is currently set at $0.10 per hour, down from $0.36 for the previous MAI-Transcribe-1.5. However, this is a limited-time offer valid only through December 31, 2026; the official full price has not been announced yet.
