Через 50 лет стейбкоины могут исчезнуть, если люди «поймут смысл биткоина», считает Паоло Ардоино

Эмитент крупнейшего стейблкоина USDT, компания Tether, 20 ноября объявил об инвестициях в криптоплатформу Parfin, чтобы ускорить внедрение цифровых активов в институциональную среду в Латинской Америке. Ранее на этой неделе Tether сообщила о стратегических вложениях в криптосервис Ledn, выдающий кредиты под залог биткоина.

По словам главы Tether Паоло Ардоино, цель всех инвестиций — ускорить внедрение биткоина во всем мире. В недавнем интервью Simply Bitcoin, Ардоино рассказал, что и сам USDT он считает временным решением — мостом к биткоину для людей, которые «еще не поняли его смысл».

USDT — крупнейшая после биткоина и Ethereum по капитализации криптовалюта, привязанная к курсу доллара (стейблкоин). Ее рыночная стоимость на текущий момент — $184 млрд. Ближайший конкурент — USDC от Circle — имеет капитализацию около $74 млрд.

Ардоино заявил, что самая совершенная форма денег — это биткоин, но принять это люди смогут только через смену поколений. По его словам, возможно уже через 50 лет необходимость в USDT отпадет, а пока этот стейблкоин, а также токенизированное золото Tether Gold (XAUT) выступают промежуточными звеньями в переходе к повсеместному принятию главной криптовалюты.

Стейблкоины, особенно USDT, стали важной частью глобальной финансовой экосистемы. На начало этого года у Tether было более 500 млн пользователей, рассказал Ардоино. Он отметил, что пандемия Covid-19 сильно ускорила принятие цифровых активов. Особенно это касается стран Латинской Америки, где стейблкоины стали «спасательным кругом» — люди хотели иметь доступ к доллару, когда обесценивались местные валюты. И успех USDT стал прямо пропорционален успехам многих экономик, сказал Ардоино, назвав это печальным фактом.

Следующим этапом на пути к биткоину после USDT Ардоино назвал золотые токены Tether. Они могут стать страховкой для тех, у кого уже есть доступ к доллару, но есть и опасения по поводу того, что американское правительство печатает слишком много денег. Тогда как USDT больше востребован в развивающихся странах, золотой токен XAUT нацелен на более зрелые рынки.

Что касается экспансии Tether в США, то компания рассчитывает на партнерство с соцсетью Rumble, в которую ранее инвестировала $775 млн. Совместно разрабатывается некастодиальный криптокошелек, которым даст 50 млн пользователей Rumble доступ к биткоину, а также долларовым и золотым стейблкоинам Tether.

Сама компания уже накопила биткоины на миллиарды долларов, активно развивает майнинг, а также держит 80 тонн золота в собственном хранилище в Швейцарии, часть из которых обеспечивают стейблкоин XAUT. Резервы USDT же в основном состоят из казначейских облигаций США. Tether, по словам Ардоино, занимает 17 место в мире среди держателей американского госдолга.

AMD acquires Taalas: hardware AI manages without scarce HBM memory

AMD has agreed to acquire Toronto-based startup Taalas, which tackles a key bottleneck in AI inference: the constant need to transfer model weights from memory to the processor for each generated token. Taalas's chips eliminate this operation by permanently embedding the model weights into the transistors themselves. This data transfer is what currently limits inference speed and has made high-bandwidth memory (HBM) a scarce commodity. Taalas's first test chip, fabricated on TSMC's 6nm process, reportedly generated tokens for Meta's Llama 3.1 8B model at speeds 48 times faster than comparable Nvidia GPUs. Its architecture features a mask ROM section for fixed weights and SRAM for adaptable components. However, this design comes with a significant trade-off: each chip is permanently dedicated to a single model. Switching models requires a partial redesign and fabrication, a process taking about two months. While the acquisition is seen as part of AMD's rivalry with Nvidia in inference, its broader implication lies in challenging the assumption of a permanent HBM memory shortage. The AI memory market is currently booming, with HBM supply sold out through 2026. Yet, Taalas's technology demonstrates that the memory bottleneck is an engineering challenge, not an absolute physical constraint. This aligns with industry-wide efforts from companies like Nvidia (through model compression) and memory makers like Samsung and SK hynix (developing new packaging and storage technologies) to reduce dependency on scarce HBM. AMD's move suggests that the current high prices for memory, driven by AI demand, may not be sustainable. It highlights a growing engineering push against the premise of perpetual memory scarcity, reminding investors that memory has historically been a cyclical business.

A researcher observed North Korean hackers from the inside for two years. What did he learn?

Greek cybersecurity researcher Vangelis Stykas spent nearly 22 months infiltrating the infrastructure of a North Korean-linked hacker group, revealing his findings at Black Hat USA 2026. He accessed the group's internal systems after the operators infected their own workstations with the same malware used against targets. His access yielded data on 1,640 targeted companies across 57 countries, with 700-800 suffering serious breaches, including Coinbase and Uniswap Labs. This period coincided with record crypto thefts by North Korean actors, who stole an estimated $643 million in the first half of 2026—about 66% of global losses from hacks and exploits. Two major April attacks on Drift Protocol and KelpDAO accounted for most of these funds. Cumulative thefts since 2017 are estimated at over $6.75 billion, with proceeds funding weapons programs and sanctions evasion. The group's tactics have shifted towards sophisticated social engineering, such as posing as recruiters to trick developers into installing malware, rather than attacking blockchain protocols directly. Despite their advanced capabilities, the incident where operators infected their own machines highlights lapses in their operational security, creating vulnerabilities that researchers or rival intelligence agencies could exploit.

Vance says US-Iran conflict remains in 'midgame', US military 'seeks exit', Iran sets 'six conditions for reopening the strait'

U.S. Vice President Vance described the U.S.-Iran conflict as being in the "mid-game," stating the U.S. is utilizing diplomatic, economic, and military tools, with a focus on increasing oil and gas shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine is reportedly seeking an "exit" privately, expressing concerns that airstrikes alone are insufficient to achieve objectives and that further escalation carries significant risks. He highlighted critical ammunition shortages for key missile defense systems. In response, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Secretary, Zolgadr, presented six conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz: a U.S. pledge never to threaten Iran, an end to aggression against Iran and its allies, withdrawal of forces from the region, war reparations, lifting of all sanctions, and the unconditional unfreezing of Iranian assets. These demands, seen as a high bar set by hardliners, contrast with more pragmatic requests made in backchannel talks, which focus on lifting the blockade, restoring oil sanctions waivers, and accessing frozen funds. While Iran and Oman are close to a technical agreement on a temporary shipping lane, Iran clarified this does not equate to a full reopening of the strait, which remains contingent on U.S. meeting its conditions. Attacks on commercial vessels in the area continue, with recent incidents attributed to Iran. Despite pauses in military action and expressions of openness to talks from both sides, negotiations are currently stalled over Iran's economic demands and U.S. insistence on freedom of navigation.

Supporters of the Separatist Bitcoin BIP-110 Network Have Created Their Own Blocks: But There's a Problem

Supporters of the Bitcoin BIP-110 separatist network created their own minority chain, but it has fallen significantly behind the main Bitcoin ($BTC) chain. Following a split after block 961,632, the BIP-110-supporting Roughnecks mining pool has only produced blocks 961,632 and 961,633. Meanwhile, the main Bitcoin chain advanced to block 961,651, leading by 18 blocks. The chain split coincided with a period where Bitcoin's mining difficulty was adjusted to 127.48T. Block creation on the BIP-110 chain slowed dramatically as it continues to operate at the same mining difficulty despite having far less computational power than the main network. BIP-110 advocate Matthew Krater acknowledged that a "very significant change" in hashpower would be needed for the minority chain to catch up and overtake Bitcoin's main chain again. Some supporters are now discussing a possible switch to an alternative Proof-of-Work algorithm to improve the current chain's resilience. The BIP-110 proposal itself is controversial, aiming to restrict certain transaction patterns and data usage on the Bitcoin network.
