Beating AI Express: AI creator Sac spent 16 days adapting *The Little Prince* into a browser-based 3D narrative game titled *The Little Prince: Journey of the Stars*. Players can control the Little Prince to visit the king’s palace, traverse the rose garden, meet the fox, and locate the pilot in the desert. Beyond scene displays, the game includes interactive tasks such as watering flowers. According to the creator, Claude Opus 5.5 handled coding and game development; Tripo AI under VAST (Sanqi Wanwu) was used to generate 3D models, Blender for model and scene processing, and Unity to integrate all elements into the final game. Even the promotional video was produced by Opus 5.5 and Blender via a single prompt. The game is now available for free trial, with its official website supporting 8 languages including Chinese, English, and Japanese. However, it still has room for optimization: some players note gameplay is currently centered on scene exploration, with immature jumping mechanics and character animations, while others report performance lags. The web version requires browser WebGPU support, and each chapter needs downloading large resource packs. The creator plans to open-source the entire project and its detailed production process in the future.

The US Treasury Department announced yesterday multiple enforcement actions against Bank of America, the second-largest bank in the United States, over failures in its anti-money laundering (AML) framework and violations of sanctions rules. According to the announcement, the total penalties and settlements amount to approximately $19.62 billion: the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) imposed a $1.2 billion fine, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) levied a $750 million civil penalty, and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) reached a $11.6 million settlement with the bank. The Treasury noted that Bank of America failed to timely report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions to FinCEN, with over $1 billion tied to national security and high-priority illicit financial risks—including suspected money laundering networks in Asia, fraud, and potential trade-based money laundering. The bank also had flaws in its transaction monitoring system that left it unable to effectively monitor trillions of dollars in transactions, and repeatedly delayed submitting large volumes of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). Additionally, Bank of America engaged in 475 suspected violations of multiple sanctions programs, including processing correspondent payments through blocked banks and failing to update sanctions lists in a timely manner. The relevant transactions involved sanctions targets linked to Russia, Belarus, Iran, Myanmar, Somalia, drug trafficking, and global terrorism. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that large financial institutions must abide by AML and sanctions rules, otherwise they will expose the entire US financial system to risks of illicit capital flows.

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio warned in a LinkedIn post on Tuesday that the US Treasury market is grappling with dual headwinds: a sustained rise in bond supply and weakening investor demand, signaling the bond bear market is likely to persist. He pointed out that as the US government floods the market with new debt, yields could climb further, driving up government financing costs and amplifying the debt burden, thus forming a vicious cycle. Dalio estimated that the US will need to refinance roughly $10 trillion in maturing debt this year, while also issuing around $2.1 trillion in new borrowings. Meanwhile, high-capital expenditure sectors such as AI are also vying for capital, and corporate bond issuance is further intensifying competition for funds. He also cautioned that if traditional overseas buyers like Japan cut back on their US Treasury holdings, the supply-demand imbalance could deepen, and he sees stress in the corporate credit market as an early indicator of tightening liquidity. Dalio noted that unless high interest rates deliver sufficient shocks to the real economy and financial markets to force a rebalancing of capital supply and demand, the debt pressure will remain hard to ease. He has long held a bearish outlook on US Treasuries and tends to advise investors to trim their bond holdings and increase gold positions. The report adds that the benchmark US Treasury index has dropped approximately 2.4% so far this year, putting the market at risk of its first annual decline since 2022.

Base has launched its "Earn&Borrow" feature, allowing various platforms to integrate third-party lending markets on the Base network, providing eligible users with floating yields on stablecoins and lending services secured by digital assets. Users can deposit supported stablecoins like USDC into platforms to earn returns, or access liquidity by collateralizing digital assets without directly selling their holdings. Base stated that as of October 1, 2026, the 28-day average deposit balance of the lending protocol market it tracks exceeded $3 billion, with over 200,000 lenders and 115,000 borrowers. The average yield on USD stablecoins in Base's lending market is 4.45%, excluding additional incentive rewards. The service operates on the Base network and third-party lending protocols; platforms can independently choose wallet and custody models, and generate revenue through stablecoin balance yields or lending collateral fees. The relevant yields are floating rates dependent on lending market conditions, while user withdrawals are also subject to market liquidity and protocol terms. Base also emphasized that the relevant vaults are managed by independent parties, and neither Base nor Coinbase is responsible for managing or guaranteeing the vaults.
