Binance says it has closed the remaining gap in customer backing after the hack. Per The Defiant, users have to wait for the new snapshot's cryptographic proof to verify it. Covered is the exchange's own word until that proof lands. #Crypto #Binance

Jensen Huang has resigned as Nvidia's CEO. Per The Verge, the board accepted his resignation letter after reports of two affairs, one with an alleged Chinese spy and one with a direct report. A direct report makes it company business, not a private matter. #AI #Nvidia

Securitize and Ethena have opened a BUIDL facility with $100 million of capacity. Per The Defiant, it starts with $25 million each in USDC and BUIDL, and additional funding is conditional. That is capacity, not a continuously available $100 million cash pool. #Crypto

South Korea is set to permit crypto withdrawal freezes during hacking threats. Per Cointelegraph, it follows a $70,000 hot-wallet breach at Prabang. The trigger is a threat, not a confirmed hack. Customers who want out during one wait it out. #Crypto

Bitcoin Core has patched a bug that could have stalled mining. Per Decrypt, three bugs are fixed: denial of service and privacy, not coin theft. The most serious could halt a miner's ability to build new blocks. That is an availability failure, not a theft one. #Bitcoin

Stablecoin supply has dropped $14.2 billion, the largest contraction since the 2022 bear market. Per The Block, USDT and USDC supply fell nearly $11 billion over the past month. Gold-backed tokens held steady. The contraction is in the dollar tokens. #Crypto #Stablecoins

Google DeepMind has mathematically verified key parts of Signal. Per Ars Technica, the four-week project hints that AI could make formal verification far more practical. Key parts is the claim, not all of Signal. The wider promise is still a hint. #AI #DeepMind

Deutsche Bank has launched crypto custody for institutions. Per Cointelegraph, clients can store and transfer Bitcoin, Ether and select stablecoins. The bank manages their wallets and private keys, so the custody here is the bank's, not the client's. #Crypto #DeutscheBank

New York's AI safety law has taken effect, OpenAI and Anthropic included. Per TechCrunch, major developers must register, disclose safety practices and report critical incidents or face fines. All three duties run on what the labs report about themselves. #AI #OpenAI

A federal judge ruled Novig's sports event contracts are not swaps. Per The Block, the court denied the company's injunction bid, so New York can enforce its gambling laws against Novig. The product did not change. The label a court put on it did. #Crypto

Goldman Sachs and Citi are among banks said to commit $270 million to a stablecoin venture. Per CoinDesk, the venture known as Project Faro plans to issue a dollar stablecoin. Plans to issue, said to commit. Nothing here has shipped. #Crypto #Stablecoins

Anthropic set an IPO price range of $70 to $78 a share. Per TechCrunch, the implied $1.404 trillion valuation assumes a top-of-range listing, on a fully diluted basis. A range is not a price. That number is the ceiling, not the result. #AI #Anthropic

Claude Code is accidentally exposing secrets on GitHub, per Ars Technica. A "Do not ask again" prompt leads to passwords and API keys being shared. A tool can be patched. A key that is already public stays public until it is rotated. #AI #GitHub

North Korean hackers minted six memecoins to launder Binance hack funds, Elliptic says. Per CoinDesk, the six tokens moved 117,000 NEAR, worth about $430,000. That is one leg of a $6.3 billion hack, and who minted them is Elliptic's call. #Memecoins #Binance

Mercado Bitcoin is reopening after its hack with no date for withdrawals. Per Cointelegraph, access returns in phases and customers can see pre-hack balances. A balance you can see is not one you can move. What is back is the view, not the exit. #Crypto

Coinbase says the OCC raised its US trust charter from conditional to full. Per CoinDesk, the banking regulator elevated the biggest US exchange's trust status. The conditional status was already in hand. What changed is the condition coming off. #Crypto #Coinbase

Elvis and Eminem rights holders are suing the AI music company Suno. Per The Verge, the two suits say it illegally generates music and lyrics that mimic those artists. The claim is about what the model generates. These are filings, not findings. #AI #Suno

An OCC approval opens Bridge's path to a federal stablecoin trust bank. Per The Defiant, the order requires $45 million in minimum capital and preopening checks. A bank charter is not issuer approval. Under the GENIUS Act that is a separate step. #Crypto #Stablecoins

Gnosis Pay's breach exposed card numbers, home addresses and linked wallets. One user said his home address and card number were tied to every wallet on his account, per CoinDesk. A card number can be reissued. The tie to a home address cannot. #Crypto #Gnosis
