Binance cozies up to Trumps crypto platform with USD1 stablecoin links

Özet

Binance has expanded its support for the Trump-linked USD1 stablecoin by adding new fee-free trading pairs with major cryptocurrencies, including ETH, SOL, and BNB. The exchange will also convert all BUSD collateral into USD1 at a 1:1 ratio, further integrating the stablecoin into its ecosystem. USD1, issued by World Liberty Financial—co-founded by Donald Trump and his sons—is backed by U.S. Treasuries and ranks as the seventh-largest stablecoin with a $2.7 billion market cap. The move follows Trump’s recent pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who was imprisoned for AML violations. Despite its growth, USD1’s supply has slightly declined since late October.

The world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, has expanded its listings to include more trading pairs tied to the Trump family’s stablecoin.

Binance announced on Thursday that it has expanded support for World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin by adding fee-free trading pairs for major tokens, including Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL) and BNB (BNB) in addition to its already listed Bitcoin (BTC).

The exchange said it would also convert all collateral assets backing its stablecoin, BUSD, into USD1 at a 1:1 ratio, within a week.

“The transition means USD1 will become an integral part of Binance’s updated collateral structure, further embedding the stablecoin within the exchange’s ecosystem,” Binance said.

Increasing access to USD1 on Binance

Zach Witkoff, co-founder and CEO of World Liberty Financial, praised the move, stating, “Binance’s expansion of USD1 marks an important moment in WLFI’s effort to make digital US dollar stablecoins available to people everywhere.”

USD1 is backed by US Treasury bills and launched on Ethereum and BNB Chain in March.

It has grown to become the seventh-largest stablecoin with a market capitalization of $2.7 billion, bolstered by a decision from Abu Dhabi’s investment firm, MGX, to use USD1 for a $2 billion investment in Binance in May

However, there has been no new issuance of USD1 for months, and the supply has declined slightly from its peak of $3 billion in late October, according to CoinGecko.

Trump recently pardons Binance founder

Alongside his sons, President Donald Trump is a co-founder of World Liberty Financial and pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao seven weeks ago.

Zhao was sentenced to four months in prison in April 2024 after pleading guilty to failing to implement an adequate Anti-Money Laundering (AML) program at Binance.

Trump said he pardoned Zhao after the Binance founder saw support from “a lot of people” who told him “what he did is not even a crime.”

China's Chips, the Hidden Intersection of DeepSeek and Kimi

China's AI startup Kimi has released its latest open-source model, K2.6, featuring significant improvements in coding and agent capabilities. This version enhances long-context processing, supports up to 4,000 lines of code generation, and improves API accuracy and multi-agent collaboration, allowing up to 300 sub-agents to work in parallel. Kimi also introduced architectural innovations like MuonClip, Kimi Linear, and Attention Residuals to optimize scaling and efficiency. A key development is the "Prefill-as-a-Service" (PrfaaS) approach, which decouples prefill and decode tasks across data centers using heterogeneous hardware, significantly reducing latency and cost per token. This strategy not only improves performance but also creates opportunities for integration with domestic AI chips, as reliance on Chinese hardware grows due to export restrictions. Both Kimi and DeepSeek are increasingly aligning with local semiconductor advancements, shaping a new ecosystem for AI development in China.

Three Frameworks for Ordinary People to Achieve AI Capability Leap: Say Goodbye to the Dilemma of 'Repeating Inputs Every Day'

Summary: This article outlines three frameworks for maximizing AI efficiency, moving beyond basic prompt usage. 1. **Three-Layer Evolution**: Users progress from (1) **Prompt** (one-off instructions, reset each session), to (2) **Project** (context-aware within a specific project), to (3) **Skill** (permanent, auto-applied knowledge). Most users stagnate at the first layer, repeating the same instructions daily with no cumulative improvement. Skills transform the AI from a chat tool into a personalized work system. 2. **Transaction vs. Compound Interest Mindset**: Using prompts is a linear transaction—effort and output are 1:1, and stopping resets progress. Investing time in building Skills is compound interest; a small initial time investment pays continuous dividends, as each Skill permanently elevates the AI's baseline performance. 3. **Thin Harness, Fat Skills**: The system architecture should prioritize thick, well-defined Skills (90% of the value—containing processes, standards, and domain knowledge) and a thin "harness" (the minimal technical environment). Avoid over-engineering the toolchain while neglecting the AI's actual knowledge. Skills are permanent assets that automatically improve with model updates. The key takeaway: Identify tasks you repeat, encode them into Skills (using tools like Claude's Skill Creator), and shift focus from daily prompting to building a compounding, self-improving AI system.

Cardano Founder Warns KelpDAO Hack Exposes Ethereum’s Weakest Link

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson argues that the $292 million KelpDAO exploit reveals a critical systemic flaw in Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem, rather than just a simple bridge failure. He emphasizes that the core issue was not a smart contract vulnerability, but a failure in cross-chain message verification. Specifically, a single-verifier setup allowed a forged message to be accepted, leading to the theft of 116,500 rsETH. Hoskinson warns that the attack’s true danger emerged when the stolen assets were used as collateral in lending markets, creating widespread bad debt contagion and triggering a liquidity crisis that caused up to $13 billion in withdrawals across multiple protocols. He calls for a broader industry discussion on bridge security and verifier design to prevent similar systemic risks.

Ethereum's Meme Season Is Back

The Ethereum meme season has reignited, sparked by Elon Musk's brief reply to a post about a girl's memorial Shiba Inu toy, Asteroid, which flew on a SpaceX mission. This triggered a 1,000%+ surge in the dormant $ASTEROID token within hours, causing Ethereum gas fees to spike over 10x and meme trading volume to surpass major DeFi protocols. This wave features memes with real-world anchors: - **Space-themed tokens** like $RISE (leveraging NASA imagery) and $FLOAT (inspired by SpaceX’s zero-gravity indicators) capitalized on the space narrative. - **Event-driven memes** such as $CLUTCH (FIFA World Cup mascot) and $RIZO (a Tesla-associated hedgehog meme endorsed by Musk) gained traction. - **Comic IP-based tokens** like $MYSTERY (Pepe creator’s early character) and $FLORK (from a popular webcomic) saw explosive gains, with derivatives ($FLORKY, $BABYFLORK) following. - **Political memes** (e.g., $MAGA aliens variant, $BRITAIN) tapped into niche audiences with strong identity-driven narratives. Unlike Solana’s fast-paced meme trading, Ethereum memes tend to build slower but denser narratives, benefiting from reduced gas fees post-EIP-4844 and concentrated attention. While most may fade, they reflect evolving cultural and speculative dynamics in crypto. *Note: Mentioned tokens are highly speculative, unaudited, and not investment advice.*

Can Apple Continue to Grow in the AI Era Without Cook?

Apple has named John Ternus, a 25-year company veteran and current head of hardware engineering, as its next CEO, effective September 1. He succeeds Tim Cook, who transitions to executive chairman. Ternus is characterized as a "systems-oriented" leader—a collaborative, decisive insider known for his deep understanding of Apple's products and unique functional organizational structure. His career highlights include pragmatically updating the Mac Mini without costly redesigns, playing a key role in developing AirPods amidst internal tensions, and leading the transition of Macs to Apple's own silicon. However, he is not seen as a high-risk visionary like Steve Jobs or a supply-chain innovator like Cook. Ternus takes charge as Apple faces significant challenges: the need to find its next major product beyond the iPhone and to catch up in the AI era, where competitors are ahead in conversational AI, and Siri is considered outdated. The central question is whether he can leverage Apple's hardware strength to build a new platform advantage or if the company will primarily optimize its existing ecosystem. His success hinges on making bold strategic bets in a shifting technological landscape.
