Binance is committed to protecting our users and platform. Following the disclosure of a PHP security vulnerability, our security teams implemented proactive safeguards ahead of the official patch release and completed the necessary remediation. We continue to monitor developments and strengthen our security measures to help keep our ecosystem secure.

The GENIUS Act marks a watershed moment in American finance, further cementing the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Just as President Abraham Lincoln’s National Currency Act of 1863 established a national framework for bank-issued currency, the GENIUS Act establishes a federal framework for payment stablecoins in the digital age. The @USOCC's final rule carries that landmark legislation forward, providing a clear, practical foundation for private-sector innovation, competition, and American leadership in digital assets.

OpenAI models helped researchers—operating as part of our Patch the Planet initiative—discover critical security flaws in PHP, an open-source programming language used to run an estimated 70% of websites. Over the past two months, we led a coalition of maintainers, researchers, and security providers to prepare fixes and protections ahead of disclosure. This duration was necessary because the fix was quite intricate and required a major change to the PHP engine. Every site using PHP can now safely upgrade their version to stay secure, in addition to applying mitigations from various security vendors. Due to the severity of these flaws and PHP’s widespread use, we consider this bug to be one of the most impactful vulnerabilities in recent memory. It also marks a new phase, where AI can find security bugs with internet-scale impact. This is an example of the Defender’s Window in action: to our knowledge, frontier AI was able to find this vulnerability ahead of attackers, giving defenders time to prepare. openai.com/index/coordinated…

GPT-Rosalind surfaced a new lead for drug discovery: could restoring cholesterol transport protect neurons from degeneration? DCTN1 is a gene linked to Perry syndrome, a rare neurodegenerative disorder. In mouse-brain data, disrupting it increased expression of genes involved in making cholesterol. GPT-Rosalind suggested a possible explanation: cholesterol may not be reaching where neurons need it. That gives scientists a specific mechanism to test and, if confirmed, a direction for developing new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. With @perturbai_tx and @scrippsresearch, a team of thousands of GPT-Rosalind agents worked in parallel, connecting gene-expression results from millions of mouse brain cells with scientific literature in just 32 minutes. We’re now expanding this collaboration to identify new drug targets. openai.com/index/scaling-ai-…

Another AI selloff. And more bitcoin resilience. Chip stocks fell by double digits over the past two weeks, their second big down move since June. Both times , BTC has fared far better. Our takeaway: the market is no longer treating bitcoin as a leveraged proxy for technology stocks.

OCC Finalizes First GENIUS Act Rule: No Safe Harbor for Existing Stablecoin Rewards The OCC has issued its first final rule implementing the GENIUS Act, covering stablecoin issuance, custody, and third-party partnerships, effective January 18, 2027. Existing yield and rewards programs receive no automatic grandfathering or safe harbor; compliance will be assessed case by case. The act prohibits issuers from paying yield solely for holding, using, or retaining stablecoins, but does not ban all third-party rewards. The OCC said rewards based at least partly on other factors may fall outside the prohibition. The implications for programs offered by Coinbase, PayPal, and Kraken remain uncertain.

$SPCX - JPMORGAN DOUBLES SPACEX PRICE TARGET TO $500 JPMorgan raised its SpaceX price target from $240 to $500, maintaining an Overweight rating. The bank now forecasts $254 billion in 2027 revenue and 10 GW of computing capacity by year-end, more than doubling its 2027–2028 estimates. JPMorgan also sees strategic merit in a potential SpaceX–Tesla merger, though no deal is guaranteed.

Opus 5.5 inside Blender costs $4 per million input tokens, and it just beat a stack of specialist tools that charge by the seat Price per seat hides the real comparison. One is a subscription per person, the other is a bill that scales with what you actually make. > ASSET - a full set of product models built from one brief, geometry and materials included > SHOT - the same products staged, lit and rendered across a dozen backgrounds > COST - every tool’s output priced against what the run actually consumed Photoroom and the rest are built around a photo. They cut, relight and restage something that already exists. That ceiling shows up fast. No photo means no output, and a product that is not built yet has no photo at all. Opus 5.5 starts earlier. The model is built in Blender, so every angle, every material and every background is a render away. At $4 in and $20 out per million tokens, a full catalogue costs less than one seat of the specialist tools per month. The quality gap is not subtle either. Real geometry holds up under lighting changes in a way a cut-out never does. The brief, both outputs side by side and the full token bill are laid out underneath.
