US SEC Submits Crypto Asset Custody Rules Proposal to White House for Review

50 minutes ago

According to a Bloomberg report, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on August 25 submitted a new proposal concerning digital asset custody for clients by investment advisors and investment companies to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The federal regulatory agenda indicates that the proposal aims to "clarify the crypto asset custody framework", addressing how relevant institutions can hold digital assets for clients without violating SEC regulations. The SEC noted that the proposal will also eliminate certain custody requirements that have become "outdated" amid market developments and current shifts in trading and asset holding practices, as part of Chair Paul Atkins’ efforts to modernize the regulatory framework. This move signals that while legislation on crypto market structure remains stalled in the U.S. Senate, American financial regulators are forging ahead with the crypto policy agenda of the Trump administration. The full proposal text will be released only after OMB completes its review; the office may revise the content, after which the proposal will go to a vote by the SEC commission, which currently comprises three Republican members. If approved, the SEC typically will open a public comment period of at least 60 days, followed by revisions and a second vote before the final rule takes effect.

Bubblemaps: Attacker exploited a vulnerability to generate $50 million in NES, netting only $60,000 in profit.

On-chain analytics platform Bubblemaps published a report stating that Cosmos Labs previously disclosed a security vulnerability in its shared Cosmos EVM software, which has affected multiple blockchains using this module, including Nesa. The main attacker address 0x9AE7 first purchased approximately $250,000 worth of NES and bridged it to Nesa Chain, then exploited the balance vulnerability to inflate its holdings by 200 times, before bridging back around $50 million worth of NES to Ethereum. The wallet was initially funded with Monero-related funds; afterward, the attacker dispersed the tokens to multiple addresses, swapped NES for ETH via decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and deposited the proceeds into centralized exchanges. Due to the rapid withdrawal of liquidity from liquidity pools, most of the attacker’s trades experienced severe slippage. Bubblemaps noted that the attacker spent a total of roughly $255,000, ultimately receiving approximately $315,000 from the sale, resulting in a net profit of only about $60,000. NES’s price plummeted by 90% at one point, but has since recovered significantly, likely driven by arbitrage opportunities from price discrepancies between DEXs and centralized exchanges post-attack. Another Cosmos EVM project suffered an attack of around $1.4 million during the same period, but with distinct funding sources and operational methods, possibly carried out by a separate attacker.

Bloomberg analysts: Currency devaluation hedging trades are starting to replace the AI frenzy, with GLD and IBIT returning to the top 10 in ETF trading volume.

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has flagged another sign that anti-currency depreciation trades are replacing the AI frenzy in the market. Gold ETF GLD and BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT have re-entered the top 10 ETF trading volume rankings, while semiconductor ETFs — which topped the charts all summer — have fallen in the standings. Balchunas noted that semiconductor ETFs’ trading activity remains above the normal level corresponding to their asset size, but has cooled significantly compared to earlier.

When users chose GPT-5.6, they were given GPT-5.5-mini instead, and OpenAI has admitted it was a bug.

Beating AI News Flash: Recently, ChatGPT paid users have noticed that despite selecting the GPT-5.6 Sol Thinking or Pro models, their responses have suddenly become faster but lower in quality. Some users who captured network requests found that while the frontend requests GPT-5.6, the server actually returns responses from gpt-5-5-mini. Adam Fry, OpenAI’s ChatGPT product lead, has confirmed this is a routing bug. Approximately 3% of Pro and Thinking model requests were incorrectly routed to GPT-5.5-mini, and the issue has now been fixed.

Tencent has released Qwen3.5 Embedding ahead of Alibaba’s Qianwen (Qwen) team, with its 2B parameter variant outperforming Qwen3-VL 8B.

Beating AI Express (from Dongcha Insight): Tencent WeChat’s Computer Vision team has open-sourced WeMM-Embedding, releasing three multimodal embedding models in one go: 2B, 4B, and 9B parameters. Built on Qwen3.5, these models can convert text, images, videos, and visual documents into unified vectors for applications including search, recommendation, and content matching. All models are open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license. Notably, Alibaba’s Qwen has not yet launched its own Qwen3.5-Embedding; its official existing offerings remain Qwen3-Embedding and Qwen3-VL-Embedding, while Tencent has taken the lead in developing a new generation of embeddings based on Qwen3.5. The performance is quite impressive: WeMM-Embedding 2B scores 77.9 on MMEB-v2, slightly outperforming Qwen3-VL-Embedding 8B’s 77.8 points, while the 9B version further reaches 80.6 points. Both models support cross-modal retrieval such as text-to-video search and image-to-text search, but WeMM, built on the Qwen3.5 base, achieves higher performance with a smaller model size. These models have already been deployed for internal use within WeChat. Tencent confirmed that they are currently used in WeChat Official Accounts, Video Channels, e-commerce recommendations, and WeChat Search, with the search scope extending to Moments.
