币界网报道:

美国联邦法院法官威廉·H·奥里克法官最近驳回了克拉肯推翻美国证券交易委员会索赔的企图。美国证券交易委员会一直试图辩称,Kraken上的一些加密货币交易是投资合同,这将使它们成为证券。

如果它们是证券,它们将受到美国证券交易委员会的规章制度的约束。但法官并没有完全相信美国证券交易委员会所出售的东西。相反,他认为美国证券交易委员会的论点有一定的道理——至少足以让此案继续下去。

但Kraken的首席法务官Marco Santori并不认为这是一种损失。远非如此。据他说,法院的裁决更像是Kraken和加密货币社区的部分胜利。

Marco说,法院基本上对美国证券交易委员会的“代币是证券”论点打了一巴掌。他宣称:“在Kraken上交易的代币都不是证券。”。

Marco补充说,法院承认,虽然代币本身不是证券,但代币的使用方式或围绕它达成的协议可能是。

他说,这项裁决支持了Kraken的立场,即用他的话说,美国证券交易委员会的“加密资产安全”理论“往好了说是不清楚的,往坏了说是令人困惑的”

看起来法官在某种程度上同意了。法院指出了美国证券交易委员会的策略,称他们经常歪曲克拉肯的话,使其听起来像是他们认为某种东西成为证券需要“书面合同”。

但这不是Kraken的立场,法官也没有让美国证券交易委员会逃脱惩罚。然而,法官确实让案件进入了发现阶段。这是什么意思?好吧,这意味着美国证券交易委员会不能仅仅声称Kraken上的每个代币都是证券。

他们需要深入挖掘并逐一证明这一点。这将是一个漫长而混乱的过程。

法院的裁决迫使美国证券交易委员会证明Kraken的每笔交易都符合Howey测试的标准,该标准用于定义什么是投资合同。

马可相信美国证券交易委员会将无法证明他们的案件。他说:

“我们期待在发现中证明这一点。海怪会战斗,海怪会赢。”

如果美国证券交易委员会想跟上其目前通过执法进行监管的方法,他们正在考虑大量的工作。想想看:根据这项裁决,数百万甚至数十亿笔交易可能会受到审查。

对于美国证券交易委员会和他们瞄准的任何加密货币公司来说,这都是一场噩梦。马可借此机会对美国证券交易委员会的整个战略投下了更多的阴影,称其无效且过于激进。他辩称:

“为了向行业提供清晰度,保护消费者并促进区块链技术的发展,国会必须通过一个全面的市场结构框架。”

与此同时,Orrick法官认为,Kraken确实从其交易活动中获得了可观的收入——2020年至2021年间超过4300万美元。

美国证券交易委员会抓住了这一点,暗示Kraken赚钱的方式——收取费用,对交易几乎没有限制——可能表明其中一些交易实际上是证券。

但在没有更多证据的情况下,法院并没有完全接受这一论点。

BNB Chain Releases Research Report, Exploring Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration Path for BSC

BNB Chain, a leading Layer-1 blockchain ecosystem, has released a research report exploring the potential migration path for BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to post-quantum cryptography. The study evaluates replacing traditional cryptographic systems with quantum-resistant alternatives, specifically examining the use of ML-DSA-44 for transaction signing and pqSTARK for aggregating validator consensus signatures. While quantum computers are not currently a practical threat to existing blockchain cryptography, the research represents a proactive effort to ensure long-term network security and infrastructure resilience. The report assessed several core areas of the BSC tech stack, including post-quantum transaction signing, validator signature aggregation, transaction validation, public key storage, and network performance under increased data loads. A key finding is that achieving post-quantum readiness is technically feasible today but requires significant trade-offs in scalability. Test data indicates: • Transaction size would increase from ~110 bytes to ~2.5 kilobytes. • Block size would grow from ~110 kilobytes to ~2 megabytes. • Native transfer TPS would decrease from 4,973 to 2,997. The primary performance bottleneck is not signature verification itself, but the increased network transmission overhead caused by larger transaction and block sizes. Conversely, the pqSTARK aggregation technology proved highly efficient, compressing validator signatures by an approximately 43:1 ratio, which helps manage consensus-layer overhead. The report notes that post-quantum alternatives for areas like P2P handshakes and KZG commitments were not within the scope of this evaluation and require further research and broader ecosystem coordination. BNB Chain emphasizes this work is a research-oriented exploration and not a response to any imminent security threat.

After Developer Numbers Halved: Crypto Isn't Dead, It's Just Giving Up Talent to AI

The title "After a 50% Drop in Developer Count: Crypto Isn't Dead, It's Just Ceding Talent to AI" suggests a shift, not an end. The article analyzes GitHub data showing a significant drop in overall Crypto developer activity from a peak of 45K monthly active developers in 2022 to about 23K in 2026. However, this masks a deeper trend of "talent deleveraging." The exodus consists mainly of newcomers who entered during the bull market for hype-driven roles (e.g., NFT contracts, forked DeFi protocols), with over 50% of developers with less than one year of experience leaving. In contrast, established developers (2+ years of experience) have hit record highs, contributing roughly 70% of the code. They are consolidating in ecosystems with real users and revenue, like Bitcoin and Solana. These experienced builders possess unique skills forged in Crypto's "code is law" environment: the ability to build trust and functional systems from scratch in the absence of external authority or rules, with zero tolerance for error. The article argues that AI's scaling faces structurally similar trust, coordination, and verification problems—particularly regarding compute aggregation, multi-agent incentive alignment, and autonomous payments. Crypto builders are already applying these skills in AI. Examples include CoreWeave (mining to AI compute), OpenRouter (NFT marketplace routing to AI model routing), and projects like Hyperbolic (using crypto-native mechanisms for decentralized compute verification) and EigenLayer (applying restaking logic to AI agent governance). Stablecoin infrastructure is becoming critical for AI agent micro-payments (e.g., x402 protocol). The role of these builders is evolving from writing smart contracts to "designing trusted mechanisms for autonomous AI systems." This shift is reflected in new hiring trends at major exchanges and significant venture capital flowing into the crypto-AI convergence (e.g., funds from Paradigm, Haun Ventures). The article concludes that while developer numbers have halved, the core density of talent has increased, and their uniquely cultivated skills are finding a new, larger stage in the AI era.

After the Developer Count Halved: Crypto Is Not Dead, It's Just Ceding Talent to AI

Following a significant decline in the total number of open-source crypto developers, from a peak of 45K in 2022 to approximately 23K by 2026, this article argues the industry is undergoing a "talent deleveraging" rather than a collapse. The exodus primarily consists of newcomers who entered during the bull market, while the core of experienced developers (2+ years) has grown to a record high, contributing around 70% of code. These established builders are concentrating in ecosystems with real users and revenue, like Bitcoin and Solana. The article posits that crypto has cultivated a unique skill set in building trustless, autonomous systems with near-zero tolerance for error—a capability now finding high demand in the AI era. As AI scales, it faces structural gaps in decentralized compute aggregation, multi-agent coordination/incentive alignment, and autonomous payment infrastructure. Crypto builders are transitioning their expertise to address these exact problems. Examples include CoreWeave (mining to AI compute), Hyperbolic (decentralized compute verification), EigenLayer (extending restaking mechanisms to AI agent governance), and the x402 protocol (enabling AI agent micro-payments via stablecoins). The role of the crypto builder is evolving from writing smart contracts to designing the rule-based, trust-minimized frameworks necessary for AI-native systems. Venture capital is increasingly funding this convergence, viewing it as a structural opportunity rather than a narrative shift. The core talent and systemic design principles from crypto are not disappearing but being re-priced and applied to the foundational challenges of scalable AI.

A Quick Look at the Latest Moves of the 24-Year-Old 'AI Stock God': Sixty Percent of the Portfolio Hedging Against Semiconductor Downturn

24-year-old AI investing prodigy Leopold Aschenbrenner's fund, Situational Awareness LP, has disclosed its Q1 2026 13F holdings. The fund's total portfolio nominal value surged 148% to $13.7 billion, driven by both investment gains and significant new capital inflows. The most striking move was the establishment of massive short-term hedges against potential volatility in the AI semiconductor sector. Over 60% of the fund's nominal exposure is now in put options (bets on declines) targeting major AI hardware stocks like NVIDIA (NVDA), VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), Broadcom (AVGO), and AMD. Notably, the fund also holds call options (bets on rises) on some names like Micron (MU) and TSMC, indicating it expects extreme price swings in these stocks. Alongside these hedges, the fund remains a long-term bull on AI infrastructure. It significantly increased its equity stakes in companies like GPU cloud provider CoreWeave (CRWV) and added to positions in power/energy infrastructure firms like Bloom Energy (BE), albeit after taking substantial profits on the latter. The fund also exited positions in optical communication hardware (LITE, COHR) and reduced leverage by clearing out large call option positions on Intel and CoreWeave. In essence, the portfolio reflects a dual strategy: cautious on near-term semiconductor valuations and potential over-extension, while maintaining a conviction that the true long-term bottlenecks and value will be in the underlying infrastructure powering the AI revolution—such as energy, data centers, and compute availability.
