Kalshi CEO Cites Nasdaq, Uber, and Airbnb in Rebuttal to New York’s Illegal Gambling Lawsuit
According to a CNBC interview, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour rejected New York’s illegal gambling allegations, arguing that the case challenges the prediction market’s entire business model. He said Kalshi resembles Nasdaq because it matches buyers and sellers while charging an approximately 1% transaction fee, rather than acting as the counterparty to users like DraftKings. New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking at least $36 billion in damages. Mansour compared the dispute with the early regulatory resistance faced by Uber and Airbnb, arguing that innovative platform businesses are often misunderstood under existing legal frameworks.
South Korean Financial Regulator Criticized for “Insufficient Risk Assessment” After Conducting No Stress Tests Before Listing Single-Stock Leveraged ETFs
According to Supple, South Korea’s Financial Services Commission reviewed the structural risks of single-stock leveraged ETFs before approving them but conducted no product-specific stress tests or simulations of the potential market impact from sharp declines in major index constituents such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix. The FSC confirmed that its existing analysis consisted only of an internal product-risk review, individual-stock trading data, and a Capital Market Research Institute report. It neither independently quantified extreme-market scenarios nor commissioned an external assessment, raising concerns about whether sufficient risk controls were completed before the products were introduced.
POAP Announces Closure After Five Years, Having Issued On-Chain Proofs of Attendance for Coinbase, Amex, and Other Organizations
According to Odaily, Proof of Attendance Protocol co-founder Isabel Gonzalez announced that POAP will close after operating for more than five years. The project used on-chain badges to document participation in events, conferences, hackathons, and community gatherings. Its users included Coinbase, American Express, Warner Music Group, and Bayer, while it also issued commemorative badges for major Ethereum milestones such as The Merge. A total of 46,210 issuers used POAP to create on-chain collectibles. Gonzalez said the crypto industry’s funding cycles and distribution mechanisms made it difficult to build a sustainable business without compromising the project’s original ethos.
AI Security Company Zenity Raises $125 Million in Series C Funding Led by Norwest Venture Partners
According to Fortune, Israeli AI security company Zenity raised $125 million in a Series C funding round led by Norwest Venture Partners, with participation from SoftBank Vision Fund 2, Hitachi Ventures, LG Technology Ventures, and other investors. Zenity monitors AI agents’ actions within enterprise systems in real time, identifies behavior that deviates from predefined objectives, and blocks or modifies actions that could jeopardize corporate data, customer assets, or system security. The company believes that as AI agents begin making autonomous decisions and connecting to enterprise systems, security priorities are shifting from models and prompts toward the agents’ actual behavior.
Google DeepMind Executive Says Trillion-Dollar AI Investment Is Betting on “Recursive Self-Improvement”
According to The Information, Google DeepMind Chief Strategy Officer Jasjeet Sekhon said one of the principal rationales behind the AI industry’s enormous capital investment is the prospect of future systems achieving “recursive self-improvement.” The concept envisions AI autonomously optimizing algorithms, improving model architectures, and continually creating more capable successor systems. Sekhon believes RSI is gradually replacing AGI as the AI sector’s central narrative. However, although current models can generate code, use tools, and perform automated optimization, significant technical, safety, and controllability challenges remain before genuine autonomous recursive improvement can be achieved.
Circle Acquires Nearly 1,000 IBM Blockchain Patents as Industry Questions Their Defensive Value and Potential Litigation Use
According to Fortune, stablecoin issuer Circle acquired nearly 1,000 blockchain-related patents from IBM, describing the transaction as an important step toward advancing global internet-native financial infrastructure. Circle’s share price rose approximately 2% after the announcement. Some analysts believe IBM’s blockchain operations have largely failed and that the practical technical value of the patent portfolio remains uncertain. Concerns have also emerged that Circle could use the patents to sue competitors, collect licensing fees, or exert pressure on startups. The possibility that the patents could eventually be transferred to other parties has not been excluded.
BitGo Launches Link Platform Supporting Connections to Coinbase, Kraken, and Other Exchange Accounts
According to Odaily, crypto custody provider BitGo launched BitGo Link, enabling institutional clients to connect accounts held at external centralized exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken, and Crypto.com. The tool provides a unified interface through which corporate treasury teams can view and manage digital assets held both on BitGo’s custody platform and at other exchanges, improving capital allocation and asset-management efficiency. Every Link transfer must pass through the BitGo Policy Engine, while institutions may impose additional permission controls on how funds are used. The system also automatically reconciles exchange records and tracks transfer and settlement status.
South Africa Releases Draft Crypto Asset Manual, Clarifying Cross-Border Transfer Reporting Requirements for the First Time
According to Odaily, South Africa’s National Treasury and Reserve Bank jointly released a draft Crypto Asset Manual that clarifies regulatory and reporting requirements for cross-border crypto transactions for the first time. Transfers from locally authorized crypto service providers to overseas platforms or non-custodial wallets would be classified as cross-border transactions and must be processed by authorized providers and reported to the Reserve Bank’s Financial Surveillance Department. Individuals may transfer crypto assets abroad only within their existing foreign-exchange allowances. Crypto transactions conducted in rand through local platforms would not require reporting, and public feedback may be submitted until September 30.

Security Alert
Boltz recently suspended its swap services indefinitely after reporting an increase in AI-assisted cyberattacks and several contained vulnerability exploits. Its non-custodial design meant that user funds were never at risk, but wallets relying on Boltz’s Lightning Network swap infrastructure, including AquaBitcoin and BULLBITCOIN, experienced service disruptions. During the suspension, users should remain alert to fake support representatives, fraudulent recovery tools, and impersonation swap websites. Attackers may attempt to induce users to install malware, disclose seed phrases, or transfer assets to incorrect addresses. Users should verify the service status exclusively through the official channels of Boltz and the affected wallets, avoid “compensation” or “restore swap” links received through private messages, never disclose seed phrases, private keys, or wallet backups, and refrain from repeatedly initiating swaps or attempting to continue incomplete transactions through unknown platforms until alternative infrastructure has been deployed.
