BlackRock: IBIT will continue to grow in scale, and currently holds over 765,000 Bitcoin.

2026.08.26 19:01:57

According to Forbes, Bitcoin rose approximately 20% over the past week, breaking above $80,000 for the first time since May. BlackRock Digital Assets head Robbie Mitchnick stated that the size of the firm’s Bitcoin spot ETF IBIT “will continue to grow” as BlackRock expands investor access to and allocation channels for Bitcoin. The asset manager has lowered the minimum threshold for investors to directly exchange Bitcoin for IBIT shares from $25 million to $1 million. This mechanism allows eligible investors to convert their Bitcoin holdings directly into ETF shares without first selling Bitcoin on the market, potentially avoiding capital gains taxes from asset sales. Since its launch, IBIT has become the fastest-growing ETF across multiple size metrics, currently holding over 765,000 Bitcoin for investors, valued at roughly $60 billion. Mitchnick noted real-world risks including kidnappings, ransomware, and custody failures are driving some Bitcoin holders to shift all or part of their self-custodied assets into ETFs. Recent attacks on some Coldcard hardware wallets have further heightened market concerns about the security of self-custody. Data shows the 13 U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs, led by IBIT, recorded their strongest single-week capital inflow in nearly 10 months. Talos researchers said Bitcoin’s roughly 23% weekly gain and corresponding volatility increase rank among the highest in history, with similar trends typically linked to above-average short-to-medium-term returns. Unlike the May breakout, which lacked ETF inflow support and subsequently pulled back, this week’s rally is backed by unprecedented structural buying pressure.

Google Antigravity launches its plugin marketplace, integrating Figma and Jira, and enabling online fault troubleshooting.

Beating AI Express News: Google’s coding agent product Antigravity has launched a Plugin Marketplace, which centrally offers plugins developed by Google and third-party developers. Previously, connecting an agent to external services typically required manual configuration of MCP, API keys, and related commands. Now, users can directly search for and install plugins with one click, and installed plugins are synced across the desktop app and CLI. The first batch of key partner showcases includes Atlassian, Figma, Canva, Datadog, CrowdStrike, Unity, and others. The agent can perform functions such as querying Jira tasks, Confluence documents, and Bitbucket code; reading Figma design drafts to generate code, as well as writing content back to the design canvas; analyzing logs, monitors, and call chains via Datadog to troubleshoot online outages. The Unity plugin allows the agent to directly participate in 3D project development and simulation.

Microsoft: North Korean Hackers Use AI to Mass-Generate Phishing Documents, With Fake Recruitment and Malicious Code Development Already Implemented

According to Yonhap News Agency, a report released by Microsoft Threat Intelligence on the 29th reveals that North Korean hacker groups are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate cyberattacks targeting South Korean users, expanding their tactics beyond customized phishing documents, fake job postings, and identity spoofing to include malicious code development and software supply chain attacks. Microsoft assessed the AI adoption levels of eight North Korea-related hacker groups: three have reached the highest "operationalized" stage, integrating AI into their daily attack workflows; four are in the "acceleration" phase, and one is in the "expansion" phase. The report notes that some groups generated over 100 targeted PDF lure documents for different targets between August and September this year, with cases of producing dozens of documents in just minutes. Between June 8 and 12, fake job offers were sent to AI, blockchain, and cybersecurity professionals using three spoofed companies. Additionally, Microsoft analysts found that North Korean hackers may be using AI programming tools like Cursor to assist with code generation, debugging, and evading detection. North Korea's Reconnaissance General Bureau-affiliated groups "Onyx Sleet" (referred to as Andariel by South Korea) and "Pearl Sleet" have been using the open-source AI penetration testing framework ARTEX in real-world operations since late October. Microsoft concluded that while these groups have boosted attack speed and efficiency through AI, they have not yet achieved fully autonomous attacks, and recommended that enterprises strengthen identity verification for job applicants, phishing protection, and malicious code detection.
