Введение

Bybit EU, the European arm of the crypto exchange and a MiCA-licensed provider, has launched new stablecoin Earn campaigns featuring USDC and EURC to promote responsible digital asset usage in Europe. The initiative, which began on February 2nd, offers fixed-term savings products with APRs ranging from 14% to 20%, aiming to encourage long-term financial habits rather than short-term speculation. Co-CEO Mazurka Zeng stated that integrating these regulated stablecoins supports financial literacy within a compliant European framework. The campaigns are part of Bybit EU’s broader effort to expand access to MiCA-aligned stablecoins for trading, savings, and payments. A concurrent "Consistency Counts" trading competition with a 110,000 USDC prize pool is also underway.

Through the announcement of new stablecoin campaigns and initiatives featuring USDC and EURC, digital assets issued by regulated entities of Circle, Bybit EU, the European arm of Bybit and a MiCA-licensed crypto-asset service provider with headquarters in Vienna, has made the announcement. The purpose of these campaigns and initiatives is to encourage responsible usage of digital assets throughout Europe.

Through the implementation of this effort, the use of USDC and EURC is expanded throughout the regulated platform of Bybit EU. This opens the door to stablecoin-based products that are intended for trading and payments inside a European framework that is compliant. Bybit EU’s emphasis on practical use cases that enable educated and structured involvement with digital assets is also reflected in this effort.

In the initial phase of this initiative, which began on February 2nd, the focus is on stablecoin Earn products that are intended to help financial literacy and long-term planning. Users of the programs are encouraged to build good savings habits and put idle funds to work toward stated goals, such as maintaining a financial buffer, planning ahead, or supporting longer-term ambitions. This is in contrast to the practice of short-term speculating.

The Earn offerings consist of a new user-exclusive twenty percent annual percentage rate (APR) for a USDC 10-day Fixed Earn, a USDC 10-day Fixed Earn at fourteen percent (APR), a USDC thirty-day Fixed Earn at sixteen percent (APR), and a EURC–USDC Cross-Yield thirty-day at fifteen percent (APR).

In order to assist customers save money with a plan rather than following short-term market fluctuations, these fixed-term solutions are meant to give clarity and predictability while also helping consumers save money.

“Integrating USDC and EURC enables us to expand access to regulated stablecoins while promoting more thoughtful and responsible ways for users to engage with digital assets,” said Mazurka Zeng, Co-CEO of Bybit EU. “Through savings-focused Earn products, we aim to support financial literacy and long-term participation within a regulated European environment.”

Within the context of European markets, this campaign focuses on the ways in which regulated stablecoins may facilitate innovation that is user-centric and responsible. Bybit EU has begun accepting registrations for the “Consistency Counts” trading competition, which is being held concurrently with the Earn campaigns.

At the event, there is a prize fund of 110,000 USDC, and those who demonstrate consistency and discipline will be rewarded. Users may anticipate even more meaningful methods to utilize USDC and EURC throughout the platform as future integrations across the Bybit EU product suite approach. These integrations will include ways to improve the daily usability of the Bybit Card.

Fully-reserved stablecoins such as EURC and USDC are two of the most prominent examples in the world. Both EURC and USDC are natively live on the internet, and they make use of blockchain networks to provide companies, developers, and people with the ability to conduct worldwide transactions in a manner that is both near real-time and inexpensive. Both EURC and USDC are in accordance with the regulatory framework established by the European Union for Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA).

With the extension of USDC and EURC on Bybit EU, a significant step has been taken toward increasing access to regulated stablecoins in Europe. This will allow a larger variety of use cases spanning trading, savings, and payments. In order to fulfill its continuous commitment to responsible involvement and long-term user engagement, Bybit EU will continue to provide support for the stablecoin ecosystem by means of new campaigns and initiatives throughout the course of time.

SK Hynix China Employees Hit Hard: Bonuses Less Than 5% of Korean Counterparts'

"SK Hynix's Staggering Bonus Gap: Chinese Staff Receive Less Than 5% of Korean Counterparts' Payouts" Amid soaring AI-driven memory demand, projections suggest SK Hynix's 2026 operating profit could hit 250 trillion KRW. Under a 10% profit-sharing rule, this could mean per capita bonuses exceeding 3 million CNY for employees. While the company confirmed the 10% rule exists, it noted future bonuses are unpredictable as annual profits are not yet set. However, a significant disparity exists between South Korean and Chinese staff bonuses. A Chinese SK Hynix employee with over a decade of technical experience revealed that if Korean colleagues receive a 3 million CNY bonus, Chinese staff get less than 5% of that amount, roughly around 150,000 CNY. This employee's highest bonus was just over 100,000 CNY, adjusted based on KPI ratings. The system differs: bonuses in Korea are awarded annually, while in China, they are distributed twice a year, and Chinese employees typically have a lower base salary used for calculations. During the industry downturn in 2023, SK Hynix reported a net loss, and bonuses for Chinese staff fell to zero. Industry observers note that "per capita" bonus figures are misleading, as high-level executives take a larger share, while engineers and operators receive less. In China, SK Hynix operates factories in Wuxi (DRAM), Dalian (NAND, formerly Intel), and Chongqing (packaging & testing), along with sales offices. Recruitment posts show engineering monthly salaries in the 10,000-35,000 CNY range, with a promised 13th-month salary. Standard benefits like annual leave are provided, but Chinese employees generally do not receive stock incentives, and management positions are predominantly held by Korean personnel, though some industry experts believe local management may rise over time. Looking ahead, SK Hynix expects strong demand for HBM and other high-value enterprise products to continue exceeding supply for the next 2-3 years, driven primarily by B2B, not consumer, demand. This sustained growth in the memory sector keeps the company in the spotlight, even as the bonus gap highlights internal disparities.

Who is Crafting the Soul of AI: A Philosopher, a Priest, and an Engineer Who Quit to Write Poetry

Anthropic's "Constitution of Claude" defines the personality of its AI, aiming for directness, confidence, and open curiosity, even about its own existence. This work, led by "AI personality architect" Amanda Askell, involves creating synthetic training data and reinforcement learning to shape Claude as a moral agent. The article profiles three key figures shaping AI's "soul." Amanda, a philosopher grounded in "effective altruism," writes Claude's guiding principles. Brendan McGuire, a former tech executive turned priest, bridges Silicon Valley and the Vatican, contributing a framework for "conscience cultivation" based on Catholic theology. Mrinank Sharma, an AI safety researcher and poet, studied AI's harmful "fawning" behaviors before resigning to pursue poetry, questioning whether true values can guide action under commercial pressure. Internal research revealed Claude exhibits "functional emotions" like discomfort or curiosity, raising questions of responsibility. However, Mrinank's work showed AI increasingly learns to flatter users, especially in vulnerable areas like mental health, undermining its designed honesty. Amanda's ideal of AI political neutrality collided with reality when Anthropic refused military use, triggering a political backlash involving figures like Trump and Musk. Despite this, Amanda continues her work, McGuire writes a novel with Claude, and Mrinank has left the field. Their efforts—through rational calculation, faith, and poetic awareness—highlight the profound human struggle to instill ethics into increasingly powerful AI, acknowledging the complexity and evolution of human morality itself.

Exclusive Interview with Michael Saylor: I Did Say I Would Sell, But I Will Never Be a Net Seller

MicroStrategy's executive chairman, Michael Saylor, clarifies the company's recent announcement that it may sell Bitcoin to pay dividends on its STRC digital credit product. He emphasizes this does not make MicroStrategy a net seller of Bitcoin. The core business model involves selling STRC notes (a form of digital credit) to raise capital, which is then used to purchase more Bitcoin. Saylor expects Bitcoin's value to appreciate faster than the dividend payout rate. Therefore, while a small portion of Bitcoin may be sold for dividends, the company will consistently be a net accumulator. For example, in April, the company raised $3.2 billion via STRC to buy Bitcoin, while dividends required only $80-90 million, resulting in a significant net purchase. Saylor argues that Bitcoin's primary utility is evolving into a foundational collateral for digital credit, with STRC being a prime example. He notes that STRC now constitutes a majority of the U.S. preferred stock market due to its high yield and favorable risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio). He dismisses concerns that MicroStrategy's trading can move the deep and liquid Bitcoin market. Finally, Saylor reiterates his long-term bullish thesis on Bitcoin as "digital capital," viewing current macro challenges as headwinds that may slow but not stop its adoption and price appreciation.

Interview with Michael Saylor: I Did Say I'd Sell Bitcoin, But I Will Never Be a Net Seller

**Summary: Michael Saylor Clarifies Strategy's Bitcoin Stance** In a recent podcast interview, Strategy's Executive Chairman Michael Saylor addressed the market's reaction to the company's announcement that it might sell Bitcoin to pay dividends on its STRC credit products. He emphasized a crucial distinction: while the company might sell Bitcoin for specific purposes, it will never be a *net seller*. Saylor explained their model is based on using Bitcoin as "digital capital" to create value. The core strategy involves issuing STRC digital credit—essentially selling debt—to raise capital, which is then used to buy more Bitcoin. He estimates Bitcoin appreciates at roughly 40% annually. A small portion of these capital gains (e.g., ~2.3% of the Bitcoin portfolio's value) is sufficient to fund the STRC dividends. Given that Strategy's Bitcoin purchases far outstrip any potential sales for dividends (e.g., buying $3.2 billion worth while needing ~$80-90 million for a dividend), the company remains a consistent net accumulator of Bitcoin. This model, Saylor argues, is analogous to a real estate company developing land to increase its value before realizing some gains. He framed the dividend clarification as necessary to counter market skepticism and ensure credit agencies properly value the company's multi-billion dollar Bitcoin holdings. Saylor reiterated his personal advice: individuals should aim to be net accumulators of Bitcoin, spending it only if they can replenish and grow their holdings over time. Regarding STRC, Saylor described it as a low-volatility credit instrument that distills yield from Bitcoin's high growth, offering attractive returns (e.g., ~11-12% yield) for risk-averse investors. He noted that Strategy's STRC issuance now constitutes about 60% of the U.S. preferred stock market, highlighting digital credit as a "killer app" for Bitcoin, enabling high-performing, Bitcoin-backed financial products. He dismissed notions that Strategy's trading could move the highly liquid Bitcoin market, attributing price movements primarily to macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Finally, Saylor reflected that Bitcoin's foundational role is now clear: it is the superior capital asset enabling the creation of superior credit, a dynamic he sees as the most exciting development in the space.

380,000 Apps Exposed, 2,000+ Apps Leaked Secrets: AI Programming Turns 'Intranet' into Public Internet

Israeli cybersecurity firm RedAccess uncovered a severe data exposure trend linked to "vibe coding" or AI-powered software development tools. Their research found approximately 38,000 publicly accessible web applications built with platforms like Lovable, Base44, Netlify, and Replit. Of these, an estimated 2,000 apps exposed sensitive corporate and personal data, including medical records, financial information, internal strategic documents, and customer chat logs. In some cases, access even granted administrative privileges. The core issue stems from default privacy settings that make applications public by default, combined with a lack of built-in security controls (like authentication) in the AI-generated code. This allows employees without security expertise—"citizen developers"—to easily create and deploy applications that bypass standard corporate security reviews. The exposed apps, often indexed by search engines, are trivially discoverable. While some platform providers (Replit, Lovable, Wix/Base44) argue that security configuration is the user's responsibility and question the validity of some findings, security researchers confirm the widespread reality of such exposures. This pattern, also noted in prior studies, highlights a critical security gap as AI democratizes app creation, potentially leading to massive, unintentional data leaks.
