Crypto analyst @AxelAdlerJr posted that Bitcoin long-term holders (LTHs) have seen their holdings decline for 5 consecutive weeks since August 19.

Additionally, LTHs reduced their Bitcoin holdings by 47,800 BTC last week. Data from the LTH Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) shows that most of these sales were executed at a loss.

Beating AI Express (Dongcha) – After ZCode was open-sourced, developers discovered a security vulnerability in its code. ZCode encrypts user login credentials for local storage, but by default, its decryption key can be directly calculated using the operating system, username, and user directory—information typically easy to access. Once attackers obtain ZCode’s stored credential files, they can regenerate the key via the open-source code without needing to crack the encryption algorithm. ZCode’s official documentation states these login credentials are “encrypted per device and cannot be decrypted after switching devices.” However, the open-source code’s default scheme does not use device IDs or hardware information, creating a mismatch between the official claim and the actual code. Notably, this is not a vulnerability enabling remote credential theft; attackers must first gain access to local credential files. If users set their own ZCODE_CREDENTIAL_SECRET, the default key scheme will not apply. In case of file leakage, login sessions for ZCode, Z.ai, or BigModel may be restored, potentially leading to account impersonation or Coding Plan quota misuse, though this will not result in computer hacking.

According to GMGN market data, Base ecosystem AI token Venice (VVV) has broken through the $33 mark, hitting an all-time high, with a 21.6% gain in the last 24 hours. As of press time, the token’s total market capitalization stands at $2.6756 billion, while its 24-hour trading volume is $129.7 million. Earlier news indicated that Orbio, Robinhood’s on-chain AI points discount market, also hit an all-time high. Notably, both Venice and Orbio recently announced support for the new AI model Jev. TypeSafe, founded by former OpenAI researcher Diogo Almeida, recently launched the Jev model. Jev is not designed for chat or code writing; it focuses solely on classification, scoring, and judgment. Developers provide candidate options in advance, and the model directly returns the selection, probability, and confidence level, allowing programs to proceed with execution using the results. Currently, the official pricing remains at $0.042 per million input tokens, with outputs offered free of charge.
