Odaily’s latest morning brief listed eight developments across crypto, regulation, technology, and politics. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said token buybacks and network upgrades do not automatically make a crypto asset a security. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said node synchronization can be completed in as little as half a day, and disk usage could fall below 0.5 TB under aggressive settings. The roundup also noted that SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, widely known as “Crypto Mom,” is set to leave in October after nearly nine years in office. Elsewhere, an autopsy found that former Hack VC partner Hsin-Ju Chuang died by suicide, while Hunter Biden said the team wallet had not sold any LAPTOP tokens after the token’s market capitalization fell below $25 million. Other items included a reported 1-gigawatt data center capacity deal under discussion by Anthropic, a U.S. appeals court ruling on Kalshi sports event contracts, and a report that Donald Trump rejected a seven-day Iran plan and is considering resuming bombings after the midterm elections.
