Happycoin.club - Граждане Йемена активно используют протоколы децентрализованных финансов (DeFi) для хранения сбережений на фоне санкций США против группировки «Хуситы». Об этом говорится в отчёте компании TRM Labs, которая занимается аналитикой блокчейнов.

Всего несколько лет назад из-за плохого интернета и низкого уровня финансовой грамотности интерес местного населения к криптовалютам был крайне невелик. Однако сейчас популярность цифровых активов выросла, и связано это в первую очередь с необходимостью.

Для тех, кто использует криптовалюты в Йемене, это возможность обойти перебои в работе местных служб и способ обрести некоторую финансовую устойчивость, особенно с учётом того, что доступ к банкам может быть затруднён, так как они просто не работают из-за продолжающегося конфликта, — заявили аналитики TRM Labs.

С сентября 2014 года в Йемене идёт гражданская война между правительством и группировкой «Аш-Шабаб». США несколько раз вводили санкции против финансовой инфраструктуры страны. В последний раз это произошло 17 апреля, ограничения затронули в том числе и Международный банк Йемена.

Согласно данным TRM Labs, на платформы DeFi приходится большая часть веб-трафика, связанного с криптовалютами, в Йемене — более 63% наблюдаемой активности, на централизованные биржи — около 18% веб-трафика.

В настоящее время в Йемене нет законодательства, регулирующего использование криптовалют. По этой причине в TRM Labs предполагают, что ужесточение санкций против хуситов может стать толчком к более широкому распространению криптовалют в стране.

Goldman Sachs' Summary After Silicon Valley Investigation: Agents Enter the Execution Era, AI Competition Shifts to Workflows, World Models Rise

Based on a recent field research in Silicon Valley, Goldman Sachs highlights a key shift in the AI industry: moving from systems that "answer questions" to autonomous AI agents that "execute tasks." Commercial models are transitioning from per-seat subscriptions to usage- and outcome-based pricing. The competition is shifting from raw model capability to mastery over specific business workflows, with value accruing to proprietary data, domain context, and operational expertise. A major hurdle for enterprise Agent deployment is not technical ability but "controllability"—issues of accountability, auditability, and error correction, especially in regulated fields. Workflows with clear rules, verifiable outcomes, and reversible actions (e.g., invoice processing) are being automated first. The model landscape is evolving toward a division of labor. Frontier models (like GPT-4) are expected to handle high-value, high-reliability core tasks, while improving open-source models will likely capture the majority (~90%) of inference tokens for standardized, high-volume tasks due to cost advantages. Finally, attention is moving from Large Language Models (LLMs) to "World Models," which understand physical environments, causality, and dynamic interactions. This shift elevates the importance of proprietary, real-world data (from industrial, scientific, and robotic systems) and could drive a second wave of compute demand. Goldman Sachs projects compute needs could grow ~24x over five years, benefiting cloud and infrastructure providers.

Fidelity Warns: The Boom in AI Agents May Not Be a Feast for Public Blockchains

Fidelity Digital Assets cautions that the anticipated boom in AI agents does not automatically guarantee a corresponding surge in public blockchain adoption or token value. While AI agents that can autonomously perform tasks like payments and data calls could theoretically utilize blockchain for settlement, a significant gap exists between "can use" and "must use." The analysis highlights six key risks. First, many AI agents, especially in corporate settings, may prefer closed, permissioned systems over public blockchains due to needs for speed, cost, compliance, and control. Second, increased on-chain transactions from AI-driven micropayments may not benefit native tokens if fees remain low or if value is captured by stablecoins and payment service providers instead. Third, while AI lowers development costs and increases the number of projects, more code does not equal more economic value and can lead to market oversaturation. Fourth, AI commoditizes coding, making pure technological advantage less of a sustainable moat; competition may shift to brand, liquidity, and user networks. Fifth, AI can also lower the cost of attacks by making vulnerability discovery easier, potentially outpacing security auditing and increasing ecosystem risk. Sixth, institutions may require "controlled blockchain" systems with robust identity, permissioning, and audit trails, conflicting with the permissionless nature of public chains. Ultimately, Fidelity argues against simply equating AI growth with blockchain prosperity. The narrative requires moving from speculation to a concrete analysis of which infrastructures can convert real AI agent needs into sustainable economic value, critically examining each step of the assumed value chain.

Telegram Introduces WEB-Proxy Technology: Masks Traffic as Regular Website Visits

Telegram has introduced a new experimental WEB-Proxy technology designed to circumvent blocking by disguising messenger traffic as regular, secure website visits. Announced on August 21, 2026, the technology routes MTProxy data through an in-app WebView using HTTPS or WebSocket transport, making the data stream indistinguishable from legitimate web surfing. The core innovation is a multiplexed stream sent through a single WebView session. It uses special frame formats to pack multiple logical Telegram connections into one encrypted channel that externally resembles loading a web page. A server-side relay receives this stream, separates it into individual connections for the standard MTProxy, without decrypting content or knowing final destinations, thus preserving privacy. The WEB-Proxy operates on a standard HTTPS domain that also hosts a public website. The proxy bridge page is only activated by a specific URL parameter derived via HMAC-SHA256 from the proxy configuration; all other requests receive the normal site homepage. This provides reliable cover against automated detection systems. Currently a proof-of-concept, the system includes a desktop implementation, an experimental Android client, and plans for iOS support. The technology represents a shift towards more sophisticated integration with legitimate web infrastructure, complicating filtering systems that must choose between blocking HTTPS traffic entirely or allowing service access. Its long-term value will depend on resilience to adaptive traffic analysis and scalability without performance loss.

Justin Sun Declares War on Altcoin: 'It Freezes User Assets Through a Hidden Function'

Justin Sun has declared war on the altcoin $USD1, accusing World Liberty Financial (WLF) of embedding "backdoor functions" in its stablecoin that could allow the company to freeze or destroy user assets. In a statement via X, Sun detailed his ongoing legal battle with WLF. He claims his legal team successfully opposed WLF's attempt to move their dispute into private arbitration, keeping the case public in a California federal court. Through this process, Sun alleges he discovered $USD1 has similar hidden authorization mechanisms that grant WLF unilateral control over user funds, posing a significant counterparty risk. Sun also raised concerns about WLF's financial health. He questioned the company's ability to cover potential liabilities, including his own claims which could reach hundreds of millions of dollars. He emphasized that the roughly $4 billion in collateral backing $USD1 belongs to its users and cannot be used to satisfy company obligations. Sun urged investors to exercise "extreme caution." WLF has not yet issued an official response to these allegations. Sun's claims remain unproven at this stage.

MiCA is coming for DeFi vaults, but regulation will be difficult

The European Commission is exploring whether to extend the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation to cover decentralized finance (DeFi) lending and borrowing, including lending vaults. These vaults, which channel billions into on-chain credit markets, present significant regulatory challenges because their decentralized structure doesn't map neatly onto existing financial frameworks. Their legal status is currently based on non-binding interpretations that they fall outside MiCA and EU fund rules. The article uses Morpho's decentralized lending protocol as an example, illustrating how responsibilities are divided among various participants (owner, curator, allocator, sentinel), making it difficult to identify a single "provider" to regulate. Experts warn that broadly categorizing "DeFi lending" could inadvertently capture vastly different structures. They argue that any regulatory approach should focus on the specific structure and control mechanisms of a vault, rather than using decentralization as a simple dividing line, and that DeFi lending may require a dedicated, carefully crafted framework distinct from traditional finance. The Commission's consultation closes on September 30, 2026. The core challenge for regulators is not just whether to regulate DeFi lending, but how to design rules that distinguish between different forms of on-chain lending and the entities that control them.
