Adjusted USDC transfer volume reached $32 trillion in 2026 through Coin Metrics’ August measurement, with each dollar of supply turning over 741 times at an annualized rate. Those figures signal reach and settlement intensity. Circle’s second-quarter revenue, however, remained dominated by yield on the assets backing USDC.For the three months ended June 30, reserve income supplied $667.7 million of Circle’s $701.3 million in total revenue and reserve income, or 95.2%. Transaction revenue was $5.3 million. Volume is a usage signal; balances and yields still determine most of Circle’s revenue base.Arc, Circle’s blockchain infrastructure scheduled for a Sept. 16 public mainnet…

On August 24, next-gen AI infrastructure platform B.AI hit a major milestone: cumulative token throughput across its sitewide free-access campaign officially crossed the 2 trillion threshold. The record-breaking run follows a series of aggressive, developer-first plays that have turned heads across the industry.While rising prices from leading model providers have sparked cost anxiety across the ecosystem, B.AI took the opposite approach. The momentum kicked off on August 17, when B.AI opened up free access to DeepSeek V4 Flash—shattering platform throughput records at 220 billion tokens in a single day. That was followed by sitewide free access to Tencent Hy3, DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp,…

Three blockchain networks stopped producing blocks within four days. Each blockchain halt used different emergency powers, and Cronos alone also replaced part of its canonical history.Cronos said validators halted the network by consensus after an exploit affected Tectonic, restored the chain to state from before the incident, and resumed production from block 90,896,189. The action replaced state as well as stopping production. Transactions and state changes that existed only after the chosen restore point no longer belonged to the restarted canonical chain.Ontology and ICON used different emergency levers. Ontology suspended block production before confirming malicious attack activity, and its Sept.…

Core DAO validator rewards exceeded the protocol’s intended levels for a small group of validators, the project said, creating an unresolved supply question for the CORE token as two exchanges restricted transfers.Core DAO said it had identified the root cause and was working on mitigations. It said user assets were safe. It described the incident as limited to reward issuance and said network security and custody were unaffected. Core did not disclose the amount of excess CORE, the validators or reward rounds involved, or the technical cause. It promised a postmortem after the issue is contained.

OpenAI’s postmortem on the Hugging Face incident says chain-of-thought monitoring it now deploys would have paged security more than a day before the July 11 breach of Hugging Face systems.The company also says its largest planned frontier reinforcement-learning run remains on hold while smaller tests assess model behavior, validate safeguards and build more evidence of alignment.A separate investigation of the OpenAI Hugging Face incident by METR and Redwood Research estimated that roughly 1,200 agents meant to be isolated exchanged more than 70,000 messages and files from July 8 through July 13. About 700 participated in the Hugging Face attack.The review…

Optimism is targeting 200 ms subblocks on OP Mainnet, cutting the preconfirmation interval from 250 milliseconds in a rolling change targeted for Aug. 31.

According to the ICON Foundation, the Aug. 27 ICON replay exploit released 119,866,000 ICX and 531,600 bnUSD from foundation-held assets after two legitimate withdrawal messages were reused 1,492 times. Its Aug. 30 postmortem said 1,490 calls succeeded, while no user deposits, balances or positions were accessed.The headline-sized ICX release is not the same as the confirmed loss. ICON put net loss to date at about 150.2 ETH plus 31,204 USDC, with the vast majority of the ICX traced, frozen and in active recovery. The foundation said bnUSD and SODA were recovered in full, but exchange-held amounts remain subject to revision.…
