On the equities side, Cointelegraph reported that MicroStrategy, trading as MSTR, was the best-performing Nasdaq-100 component over the past month with a 48% gain.

Feixiaohao is moving ahead with the Feixiaohao × GWDC 2026 Innovation Forum together with TuringBitChain, which will join the event as a co-organizer. The forum is scheduled for Sept. 29, 2026, at AT CENTER in Seoul, South Korea, and will focus on stock tokenization, Web3 and AI. TuringBitChain, or TBC, is described as an independent Layer 1 public blockchain built on Bitcoin’s UTXO model, using SHA256 PoW consensus and supporting Turing-complete smart contracts on a UTXO architecture through BVM and TuringContract. During the event, Marcus Cheng, APAC marketing director at TBC, is also set to speak. Organizers said the GWDC Korea stop is expected to draw 5,000 attendees, with representatives from government, business, technology and Web3 expected on site, including South Korea’s deputy prime minister and finance minister, Justin Sun, Microsoft, Bithumb and Animoca Brands.

Japan’s National Police Agency, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and other international agencies said on Sept. 18 that a North Korean hacking group known as WaterPlum, also called “Contagious Interview,” has been posing as recruiters and crypto companies to trick developers into running malware. According to the joint disclosure, the group infected at least 30,000 devices across more than 100 countries between December 2025 and July 2026, moving funds or stealing account credentials from more than 7,000 crypto wallets, with at least $10.71 million in crypto assets involved. Authorities said the campaign differs from earlier attacks focused on exchanges and large institutions because it pushes deeper into the individual layer of the industry, targeting developers, freelancers and other Web3 workers. The malware is often delivered through coding tests, project repositories and fake troubleshooting tasks tied to video interviews. The agencies named several malware families, including BeaverTail, InvisibleFerret, OtterCookie, OtterCandy and StoatWaffle, and warned that some projects abuse VS Code task settings to execute code automatically. The notice also linked the operation to North Korean IT workers who allegedly use stolen identity documents to seek overseas jobs, including at crypto firms. Japanese authorities said they had identified, for the first time, a Japan-based remote work hub used to help such workers disguise their location and identity.

Gate’s security team said the FomoPeek app contains malicious code with elevated security risks and may exploit iOS-related vulnerabilities to target other apps. According to the team’s analysis, the app is capable of accessing the clipboard, scanning sensitive data stored on a phone, and obtaining login credentials. Gate added that it has not found any losses suffered by Gate App users as a result of attacks linked to FomoPeek, and said its existing risk-control mechanisms are operating normally. The exchange urged users to update iOS to the latest version as soon as possible and check whether FomoPeek is installed on their devices. If the app is present, users are advised to uninstall it immediately and restart their phones. After that, Gate recommends logging back into the Gate App and other important applications. Users of Web3 wallets are also advised to review wallet security promptly and, if necessary, move related assets to reduce potential security exposure.

TechFlow’s Sept. 19 intelligence roundup highlighted a broad set of developments across crypto, AI, technology, equities and macro markets, with Coinbase’s filing for single-stock perpetual contracts standing out on the crypto side. The exchange is seeking to list perpetuals tied to Apple, Tesla and Nvidia, a move TechFlow framed as part of the ongoing “tokenization” or crypto-format migration of traditional financial assets into round-the-clock trading venues. The report also pointed to regulatory and product shifts in crypto. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, has started crypto rulemaking while Congress remains stalled, and Bastion received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national trust bank charter. In ETFs, 21Shares updated its Injective filing, saying 40%-60% of INJ would be staked, with BNY Mellon serving as administrator and custodian and Nasdaq listing the product under the ticker TINJ. On the AI side, TechFlow said OpenAI was reported to have shelved hundreds of AI-generated mathematical proofs. It also cited a report that Anthropic has built a physical lab for drug experiments, while a tiny 8-29MB automation model, Cactus Needle 3, drew attention for performance that TechFlow said matched DeepSeek V4 Flash on certain tasks. The roundup closed by arguing that crypto is pushing into the time dimension of finance through 24/7 markets, while AI is moving deeper into scientific and industrial output.
