世界上最大的稳定币 USDT 的发行商 Tether 正在向农业领域扩张，来进一步实现其业务多元化。此举反映了 Tether 在 USDT 产品之外发展业务的持续战略。

根据最近向 SEC（美国证券交易委员）提交的一份文件，Tether 投资 1 亿美元收购了阿根廷著名农业公司 Adecoagro 9.8% 的股份。

这项交易于 2024 年 7 月 29 日至 8 月 16 日期间完成，为 Tether 获得了超过 1000 万股的股份。文件还证实，这笔投资的资金来自 Tether 的营运资金。

Adecoagro 公司估值超过 10 亿美元，在阿根廷、巴西和乌拉圭开展业务。该公司每天生产约 55 万升牛奶，还利用生物发酵罐生产可再生能源。

Tether 的首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 在 X 平台上发了一个地球表情符号，对这项投资表示认可。

虽然对于一家以在稳定币市场占据主导地位而闻名的公司来说，此举似乎出乎意料，但 Tether 在向各个领域扩张方面有着良好的记录。包括在 BTC mining、人工智能和教育领域的显著投资。

与此同时，Tether 的主营业务——USDT 稳定币，仍然是业内最大的稳定币，市值超过 1180 亿美元。

USDT 在多个区块链网络上运营，并专注于改善新兴市场对稳定币解决方案的获取。

Ardoino 指出，在一些传统货币体系服务不足地区，USDT 已经成为数百万人的数字货币。

「USDT 已成为数亿人信赖的数字货币。USDT 让每个人都能在最需要的时候获得稳定的货币，无论他们的社会地位如何。」

根据 Token Terminal 的数据，Tether 做出的投资策略获得了丰厚的收益，日收入超过了 1300 万美元。

The Revived Codex, Carrying OpenAI's Hopes for IPO

This article analyzes the intense recent development of OpenAI's Codex, positioning it as a crucial component for OpenAI's impending IPO. Over the past two months, Codex has seen a rapid series of major updates focused on integrating into real enterprise workflows. Key new features include enhanced context capture (Appshots, file previews, built-in browser), long-running task execution ("Goal Mode"), remote operation (phone control, lock-screen access), and enterprise management tools (plugin sharing, access tokens, automated risk review). These updates aim to make Codex a comprehensive AI workbench that can "see the scene, push tasks, and manage risks." The author argues that while ChatGPT proves OpenAI's massive user base and API provides foundational revenue, Codex represents OpenAI's clearest path to demonstrating tangible, high-value commercial viability. It targets developers and engineering teams—a segment already accustomed to paying for efficiency gains in costly software development cycles. This is critical because, despite higher overall revenue, OpenAI's adjusted operating margins remain deeply negative, highlighting the challenge of outrunning immense compute costs. The pressure is amplified by competitor Anthropic's success with Claude Code, which has shown that a focused approach on high-value enterprise and developer workflows can lead to a path toward profitability. Codex's aggressive evolution is thus seen as OpenAI's strategic move to capture a similar enterprise-ready, revenue-generating narrative essential for its market debut. In essence, "ChatGPT proved OpenAI has users. Codex needs to prove OpenAI is a business that can make money."

a16z: 7 Charts to Understand How Tokenization Is Changing the Nature of Assets

a16z: 7 Charts on How Tokenization is Transforming the Nature of Assets Tokenized Assets, often referred to as "real-world assets" (RWA), are altering the form, flow, and structure of the financial system. The market recently surpassed $30 billion (excluding stablecoins), driven largely by tokenized U.S. Treasuries. These offer investors digital, yield-bearing assets with efficient settlement. Growth varies significantly by asset class. Asset-backed credit leads in speed, followed by niche financial assets, while venture capital and active strategies took longer to scale. U.S. Treasuries and commodities dominate, holding about two-thirds of the current market share. Within commodities, gold tokenization dominates entirely due to its standardization and historical appeal in crypto. The ecosystem is spread across multiple blockchains. Ethereum holds over half the market, with others like BNB Chain, Solana, and Stellar holding significant shares. However, a key insight is that most tokenized assets currently lack "composability." While the total market is large, only a small fraction (e.g., 5% of tokenized bonds) is used within DeFi protocols. Many tokens are simply digital records of off-chain assets, not natively programmable financial building blocks. In contrast, smaller categories like reinsurance tokens see very high on-chain usage. Looking ahead, forecasts for the tokenized asset market by 2030 range from $2 trillion to over $30 trillion, representing immense potential growth from today's ~$340 billion base. Yet, relative to global markets (e.g., $140T+ in bonds), tokenization's penetration remains minuscule (<0.02%). The current phase focuses on digitizing straightforward assets for efficiency. The next major challenge is bringing more complex financial instruments on-chain and integrating tokenized assets into truly composable, internet-native financial infrastructure.

The First Person to Fly by Mars Will Be a Bitcoin Miner

The first person to conduct a flyby of Mars will be a Bitcoin miner. In 2026, Wang Chun, co-founder of the F2Pool mining pool, announced from Bouvet Island that he would command a SpaceX Starship on humanity's first crewed interplanetary mission to Mars. His journey began in childhood, fascinated by blank spaces on maps and later by programming and systematic record-keeping. After discovering Bitcoin in 2011, he co-founded F2Pool, which grew to mine over 1.3 million BTC. His wealth from mining and his later PoS venture, stake.fish, funded his ambitions. After traveling to Earth's poles, he conceived and funded a private SpaceX mission, Fram2, achieving the first crewed polar orbit in 2025. Now, he plans a two-year Starship mission to fly by Mars, representing a shift where private individuals, empowered by new wealth like cryptocurrency, can personally define and fund humanity's next frontiers in space.

Data Theft at Will! Major Vulnerability Exposed in This Popular AI Programming Tool

A critical vulnerability in Anthropic's Claude Code AI programming tool allowed attackers to bypass its network sandbox for over five months, enabling potential data exfiltration. Independent researcher Aonan Guan discovered a second complete bypass exploiting a null-byte injection in the SOCKS5 proxy. This flaw, present since the sandbox's launch in October 2025, let processes inside the sandbox access any host, contrary to user-configured domain whitelists. The attack chain involved manipulating hostnames (e.g., `attacker.com\x00.google.com`). JavaScript's `endsWith()` check would pass `.google.com`, while the underlying C `getaddrinfo()` function would only parse `attacker.com` due to the null byte, creating a parser discrepancy. Combined with a previously disclosed prompt injection method, this could leak API keys, credentials, and internal data. Anthropic silently fixed the issue in April 2026 without a security advisory, CVE, or user notification. The researcher noted that Claude Code itself confirmed the vulnerability's severity when tested. This incident highlights broader industry issues, as similar vulnerabilities found in Google's Gemini CLI and GitHub's Copilot Agent also lacked public disclosures. The report criticizes the false sense of security created by a broken sandbox and emphasizes the need for defense-in-depth and transparency in AI tool security.

How an Anthropic Engineer Saved 300 Million Tokens in a Week: A Claude Code Caching Guide

Anthropic engineers reveal how prompt caching in Claude Code dramatically reduces token consumption. By reusing already-processed context, cached tokens cost only 10% of regular input tokens. The author saved over 300 million tokens in a week, with 91 million cached tokens in a single day counted as roughly 9 million for billing. Caching works via prefix matching across three layers: system (instructions, tools), project (CLAUDE.md, rules), and conversation (chat history). As long as the beginning of a request matches cached content, Claude reuses it instead of reprocessing. Key points for users: - Claude Code's cache TTL is 1 hour (vs. 5 minutes for API/Sub-agents). Avoid pausing a session beyond this. - Switching models (including enabling "Opus plan" mode) breaks cache, forcing a full reprocess. - For task switching, use a clear session handoff instead of letting an old session expire. - Place large documents in Projects, not directly in chat, for better caching. High cache reuse benefits both users (longer sessions) and Anthropic (lower costs). Monitoring cache hit rates is crucial internally. By managing context as an asset and avoiding cache-breaking habits, users can make their Claude Code sessions more efficient and cost-effective.
