Austrian cryptocurrency exchange Bitpanda's co-CEO Christian Trummer stated in Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction program that with the implementation of the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), European crypto users' trust in regulated platforms has increased. He pointed out that most users trust regulated market participants more than managing private keys themselves.Trummer described the preference for self-custody as a small circle focused on "Crypto Twitter," believing that most users are more inclined to choose regulated service providers. He also called on regulators to enforce MiCA more strictly, stating that some companies are still providing services to European customers without obtaining a MiCA license, putting compliant businesses at a competitive disadvantage.The transition period for existing crypto service providers under MiCA ended no later than July 1, and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) instructed national regulators to take action against unauthorized companies that continue to provide crypto services after the transition period. ESMA subsequently called for stronger regulatory powers to address unauthorized crypto services and third-country companies soliciting business from EU investors without MiCA authorization.

The cryptocurrency exchange BitMart has released a preliminary intention plan, stating that it will review its assets and liabilities and formulate response arrangements starting from August 2026. The plan was formed during the initial due diligence conducted by Alvarez & Marsal and White & Case; users can choose front-end allocation or potentially higher recoveries from sources that may be recovered and liquidated later. The management team stated that they will continue to cooperate.BitMart stated that the total market value of the cryptocurrency market decreased in 2026, with volume manipulation groups profiting from commission and zero slippage policies in contract business, while fee-based services turned into losses; a hacker attack in December 2021 resulted in a balance sheet gap of approximately $319.5 million based on the value as of December 4, 2021. Starting from May 2026, social media attacks triggered panic withdrawals, and related personnel faced risks of personal information leakage. After evaluating a $10 million liquidity proposal from an investor, the management deemed it insufficient to cover operational pressures and gaps.The plan proposes to convert outstanding account balances into dollars based on the weighted average price from July 26, 2026, to the time of recording, to be verified by an independent party appointed by the court. Users can receive a proportional front-end allocation of fiat currency, USDC, PYUSD, USDT, and liquid assets such as BTC, ETH, SOL, or participate in the recovery of stolen assets by exchanging for recovery tokens at a rate of 1 unit per $1, or exchange for continuation tokens that can be traded on decentralized exchanges, corresponding to investment rights, non-standard asset liquidation, and a portion of distributable profits after business restart. In the next three to four weeks, feedback will be solicited from the top 50 users, and a report on the expected recovery ratios for each option will be compiled.

On September 29, the Policy and International Cooperation Department of the China Internet Network Information Center released the "Generative Artificial Intelligence Application Development Report (2026)" at the "2026 (Seventh) China Internet Basic Resource Conference." The report shows that by the first half of 2026, the user scale of generative artificial intelligence in China will exceed 700 million, with a penetration rate of over 50.0%. Intelligent Q&A is the main scenario, with 76.0% of users using it to answer questions, while the proportions of users handling images or videos, text, work summaries, meeting minutes, and PPTs are 47.8%, 37.6%, and 32.5%, respectively.The usage of applications such as AI comprehensive assistants and AI efficiency office tools has increased by over 100% year-on-year. 38.7% of internet users have purchased smart hardware online in the past six months, with the purchase ratios of smart wearable devices, smartphones, and tablets being 20.2% and 18.2%, respectively. By June 2026, China's intelligent computing power scale reached 2185 EFLOPS, a year-on-year increase of 177%, and the first domestically produced 100,000 card artificial intelligence supercluster was officially put into use.Deep Exploration, Dark Side of the Moon, and others have successively released multiple trillion-parameter open-source large models, and more than 120,000 high-quality datasets have been established. The application penetration rate of artificial intelligence technology among large-scale manufacturing enterprises has exceeded 30%. In the first half of 2026, there were over 400 humanoid robot complete products, and the total annual production is expected to exceed 100,000 units. During the same period, there were 1,255 instances of investment and financing related to artificial intelligence, totaling approximately 250.14 billion yuan, reaching 78.0% and 182.0% of the total for the entire year of 2025, respectively.

Noah Shinn, founder of Personal AI Agent Instinct, stated that the company's user base has been growing by about 10% to 11% daily in recent weeks, leading to a corresponding demand for computing power that is close to doubling each week. He now spends about 40% of his time considering how much computing power to purchase in advance.Shinn indicated that computing power cannot be procured in sync with user growth. Purchasing only double the current computing power would be exhausted in about a week; buying five times would run out in less than three weeks; directly purchasing ten times would mean a significant upfront investment. Many resources need to be booked months in advance, and the price for temporarily supplementing computing power could be three to four times higher. He mentioned that purchasing too little makes it difficult to support growth, while purchasing too much would amplify costs when growth slows down.He estimates that even if the daily growth rate drops from 10% to 5% to 8%, after continuous growth for 3 to 4 months, it may still be necessary to prepare computing power for a scale of 100 million users, and the waiting time for new computing power to come online would be roughly the same. He believes that this is more challenging than scaling consumer internet products like Instagram and Facebook, because each new user of the personal agent continuously consumes a large amount of model inference. He stated that Instinct's current scaling speed is even faster than similar situations encountered by Claude Code and Codex in the past.

In today's community live broadcast, Bitget CEO Gracy responded to recent security incidents and the platform's financial status. She candidly stated that this is the first security incident encountered since Bitget was established 8 years ago. After a complete trace, it was found that hackers exploited vulnerabilities in third-party security products to steal internal network access credentials, forged withdrawal commands to the wallet system, and deceived the wallet into executing abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy emphasized that no private keys were leaked, and cold wallets were unaffected; specific technical details will be disclosed in the formally released security report.Gracy pointed out that the verified losses from this incident are within the coverage of the protection fund, and user funds are not affected. The platform's own funds exceed $1.4 billion, which includes approximately $464 million in the user protection fund. The platform will continue to uphold the security commitments made when the protection fund was established in 2022, planning to replenish the fund to the baseline of $300 million within a week."The protection fund is not just a slogan, but an important mechanism that provides tangible security for users in the event of extreme security incidents," Gracy stated. In the face of sudden security challenges, the platform's comprehensive strength and its ability to take responsibility are important criteria for measuring its risk response capability and long-term credibility. Bitget will continue to uphold its long-term commitment to prioritize user interests.

A MEXC user posted on X that their account was compromised after someone reset the security items. MEXC has confirmed the account was hacked, frozen the account, and assisted in recovery, but did not revoke the API left by the attacker. From 04:12 to 04:25 on September 27, 2026 (Beijing time), the account transferred out 322,110 USDT and 9,133,999 ONE, totaling approximately $340,000, about 27 minutes after the 24-hour transfer limit was lifted.The user stated that at 03:10 on September 25, they received a reset security item email that was not submitted by them, and about 10 minutes later, the request was approved. Subsequently, the account was logged in from an IP in Jakarta, Indonesia, bound to Google verification, and at 05:05, an API was created, approximately 83 seconds after logging in. At 10:55 that day, MEXC froze the account after a risk review and reverted to the original email. Customer service responded in writing that the review materials met the requirements, so the binding change was approved, and after the risk review, the account was urgently frozen and reverted to the initial email. The user changed their password and Google verification on September 26 but stated that the API was not revoked, and there were no related records in the security operation history.The user also claimed that there were no new login records in the login history when the assets were transferred out. They have submitted a formal claim to MEXC and attempted to report to the police, with the ticket number M2026092712031, requesting the platform to preserve logs, provide a written explanation of the review and API situation, and return the aforementioned assets. MEXC customer service stated that it is currently unable to confirm whether these transfers were initiated via APP, WEB, or API, and the issue has been forwarded to the relevant department.
