South Korean stocks closed down 0.48%, notching their largest quarterly decline in Q3 this year since Q1 2020.

South Korea’s largest digital asset exchange Upbit’s parent company Dunamu CEO Oh Kyoung-suk stated at Korea Blockchain Week that the firm is pursuing growth opportunities outside South Korea, with the goal of linking Korea’s digital asset ecosystem to global financial markets. Dunamu plans to partner with Naver Financial to provide shared infrastructure for banks, securities firms, payment providers, and fintech companies, covering services such as trading, custody, asset transfer, and anti-money laundering. The two sides’ stock swap deal is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year, but it is still awaiting review by Korea’s Fair Trade Commission, and there is a possibility of a delay.

Beating AI News Flash Two weeks ago, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei publicly called on the AI industry to "hit the brakes" — but his tone has shifted noticeably after two dinners with Trump. After the White House lunch, he still acknowledged "very real risks" in AI, but no longer mentioned slowing down model development. Instead, he cited Trump’s statement: "Whoever wins AI wins everything." Amodei later said resolving these risks is "still under discussion", but everyone must work together to ensure the U.S. can both win and "win safely". He added specifically: "If we work with the president and everyone here, we can win safely." This marks a stark contrast to his stance two weeks ago. Back then, Amodei had written directly: "We must slow the pace of advancing AI model capabilities", arguing that continuing at the current rate could lead to more severe, unmanageable risks in the coming months. Trump then publicly opposed the slowdown, saying it would only allow China to catch up to the U.S., and labeled some AI disaster warnings as "hoaxes". The two, who had previously had a tense relationship, dined together twice this week. Amodei first had a private dinner with Trump on Sunday evening, then two days later attended the White House AI lunch, where he signed a voluntary safety agreement alongside Google, Meta, OpenAI, xAI, and Nvidia. Risks still exist, the slowdown call is gone, with the new buzzphrase being "win safely".

Despite the drop in $ZEC, whales are still accumulating! Two wallets, likely belonging to the same whale, withdrew 24,706 $ZEC ($28.17M) from #Binance and #Gate over the past month at an average price of $1,140.

Beating AI Express (Dongcha) reports that Anthropic recently released a report warning that GLM-5.3 can now independently develop exploit chains, potentially lowering the barrier to advanced cyberattacks. Zhipu AI subsequently shared data on its OpenVuln service, noting that GLM-5.3 has scanned 389 open-source projects and identified 4,249 potential vulnerabilities. OpenVuln is a free vulnerability scanning tool built by Zhipu AI using GLM-5.3. After project maintainers submit code, the model locates vulnerabilities, with results sent only to the maintainers and not publicly disclosed. Anthropic focused on attack risks, while Zhipu AI emphasized the technology’s defensive value. The former just brought GLM-5.3’s cybersecurity capabilities to public attention, and the latter immediately capitalized on this focus to use the same capability for positive self-promotion.
