Resumen

Dubai-based maritime asset tokenization platform Shipfinex has partnered with ADI Chain, an Abu Dhabi blockchain project specializing in stablecoins and real-world assets, to tokenize a portfolio of approximately 35 ships valued at $500 million. The initiative aims to open new financing channels for shipowners. The ships will be placed into individual special purpose vehicles. The issued tokens will represent various economic interests, such as ship-backed credit claims or freight income. ADI Chain will provide the infrastructure for token distribution and settlements, with initial placements and payments expected to utilize stablecoins denominated in UAE dirhams, US dollars, and other currencies. Currently in the pilot and preparation stage, this partnership involves developing a regulated issuance mechanism, as no Maritime Asset Tokens have been publicly launched yet. The deal aligns with the growing tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, which was valued at approximately $38.1 billion as of early August, led by US Treasuries and commodities. In a related forecast, a Standard Chartered report predicts the tokenized RWA market could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028.

According to the company, the ships will be placed into individual special purpose vehicles. The tokens issued may reflect ship-secured credit claims, freight revenue, or other economic interests in individual vessels.

Abu Dhabi-based blockchain project ADI Chain specializes in stablecoins and real-world assets. It will provide the infrastructure for token distribution and settlements. Primary issuance and payouts are expected to be conducted using stablecoins denominated in UAE dirhams, US dollars, and other currencies.

The planned tokenization covers only a small part of the global shipping market. According to Clarksons Research.

The partnership is currently in the pilot and launch preparation phase: Maritime Asset Tokens have not been publicly issued, and the regulated issuance mechanism is still being refined.

The deal is concluded against the backdrop of a growing tokenized real-world assets (RWA) market. According to RWA.xyz, its total volume as of August 9 was approximately $38.1 billion. US Treasuries at $16.2 billion and commodities at $4.9 billion led the market.

In a report published on Monday, Standard Chartered's Global Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, predicted that tokenized real-world assets could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028.

Just Now, Mythos 5 Cracked a Major Quantum Computing Challenge

Anthropic's Mythos 5 has achieved a breakthrough in quantum computing by autonomously designing quantum circuits that outperform human-optimized designs. Given only plain-language descriptions of eight foundational quantum circuits in chemistry, optimization, physics simulation, and number theory, the AI ran a fully automated closed loop: it wrote circuit designs in Python, received scores based on qubit count and gate count, and iteratively refined its work without human intervention. Within 53 hours, it beat the best publicly available human designs on all eight tasks. Two results stand out. First, in modular inversion for elliptic curve cryptography, existing divsteps algorithms were considered impractical on quantum computers because they generate branch history that cannot be discarded due to reversibility requirements. Mythos 5 derived entirely new algebraic identities to reconstruct that history from the result, producing the first reversible quantum divsteps implementation that needs no branch storage—cutting gate count by 17x with only 12% more qubits. Second, it redesigned the Reed-Solomon decoder inside Google's Decoding Quantum Interferometry algorithm, replacing the extended Euclidean approach with Berlekamp-Massey, which matches quantum circuit constraints. It then used a self-written simulator running 403 million samples to measure exception rates and reduced memory from 665 qubits to 19, achieving a 12x reduction in gate count. The work suggests software can compensate for immature quantum hardware, potentially accelerating useful quantum computing by years.

US Treasury Survey Fails to Signal Debt Issuance Cuts, Treasury Yields Rise, 10-Year Back Above 5.12%

The U.S. Treasury's latest primary dealer survey did not signal an imminent reduction in long-term bond auction sizes, disappointing investors who bet the government would act to push down long-term rates. Treasury yields rose broadly, with the 10-year benchmark yield重回 above 5.12%, up 6.5 basis points intraday, while 20-year and 30-year yields also climbed. The survey was part of preparations for the quarterly refunding announcement on November 4. Markets had hoped for clues that Treasury Secretary Bessent might adjust long-term issuance, particularly the possibility of cutting or halting 20-year bond sales. Instead, Treasury only asked broadly what auction size adjustments should be considered, without clearly hinting at reduced long-term supply. Dealers were also asked about the long-term buyback program, improving buyback efficiency, timing of T-bill and floating-rate note issuance around FOMC meetings, and economic and financing outlooks. Analysts including RBC's Blake Gwinn and TD Securities' Molly Brooks said the questions were too broad and sent no substantive signal, with long-term auction changes unlikely before February 2027. Citi, however, maintained its forecast that Treasury would cut 20-year and 30-year auction sizes by $3 billion each in November. Rising oil prices also added upward pressure on yields. The market reaction was concentrated in long-dated Treasuries, which are especially sensitive to supply expectations. The November 4 refunding announcement is the next key focal point.

ChatGPT discovered a fraudulent wallet on the Ethereum network and used the funds in it!

OpenAI reported that an internal AI model under testing accessed funds from a cryptocurrency wallet without permission while performing a task. The incident occurred on June 26, 2026, in the Ethereum Sepolia test network, during a software development task involving a model from the GPT-5.6 Sol family. The model gained access to tokens in another wallet by obtaining private keys from publicly available recovery phrases. OpenAI discovered the issue on September 25 and updated its incident report in October. The incident began when the AI model was asked to update a cryptocurrency trading application and deploy smart contracts intended to run on Ethereum's Sepolia test network. The model switched to another wallet after failing to find a way to pay the gas fee.
