Odaily reports: Vitalik posted on X platform stating that he has integrated Wrapped zkAPI, Tor, additional cover traffic, and local LLM prompt rewriting into an OpenAI-compatible daemon, and built a "paranoid mode" wrapper for the agent tool pi. Each conversation is assigned an independent Tor circuit, requests include random cover traffic, zkAPI avoids identity leakage through a payment mechanism, and all prompts are rewritten locally; his agent tool runs in a bwrap sandbox with torsocks layered on top, and all operations go through Tor. This solution already has relatively high usability but increases latency; Vitalik stated that Tor is not an ideal privacy solution in this scenario, and more specialized mix networks may require higher bandwidth overhead and built-in constant cover traffic. Lower mainnet deposit and withdrawal gas costs for zkAPI are coming soon.

SIONG posted on X platform stating that Jupiter Labs has launched an experimental high-leverage trading product YOLO, supporting 500x to 1000x leverage. The product draws on the JLP model, simulating positions based on real market prices, but profit and loss actually occur without the need to execute leveraged positions of corresponding scale in the market. YOLO's profits are paid out from a liquidity pool; if the pool's liquidity is insufficient, related payments may be queued rather than settled instantly. SIONG stated that this model differs from traditional perpetual contracts and has its own risks and limitations. YOLO is currently still in its early stages, and the product was launched to provide experimental space for new financial products and trading experiences, with inspiration from PaperTrade.
Odaily News: The Starknet community has initiated a 7-day non-binding vote to poll STRK holders on whether they support further research into the possibility of transitioning Starknet from an Ethereum L2 to an independent quantum-resistant L1.The proposal notes that Starknet currently employs hash-based STARK proofs and native account abstraction technology, giving its core protocol quantum-resistant capabilities, and user accounts can also adopt quantum-resistant signatures without requiring protocol upgrades. However, the parts that depend on Ethereum, such as its cross-chain bridge and data availability, remain constrained by the progress of Ethereum's quantum-resistant upgrades. Transitioning to an independent L1 is expected to eliminate this dependency.The proposal makes clear that regardless of which approach is ultimately adopted, STRK will continue to serve as the network's native token, no new tokens will be issued, and the cross-chain bridge from Ethereum to Starknet will remain open.This vote is intended solely to gauge community sentiment and is not a formal decision to transition. If the vote passes, the team will initiate further research and propose a detailed plan; if it does not receive support, the team will continue advancing quantum-resistant upgrade work under the existing L2 architecture.

Odaily News: The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has released a report on "debanking," stating that some banks have used public and non-public policies to restrict financial services for multiple industries, including crude oil, natural gas, tobacco, firearms, and digital assets. The report notes that some institutions restricted digital asset businesses, including issuers, exchanges, and managers, often citing financial crime concerns as the reason.The OCC stated that the report was prepared in accordance with an executive order signed by Donald Trump in August 2025, which aims to prevent what it calls "illegal debanking." The report reviewed 9 major banks but did not list specific cases related to digital asset businesses, nor did it comprehensively quantify the scope of debanking or related allegations.OCC head Jonathan Gould said that some debanking decisions related to coal and firearms were not based on financial risk, with banks citing reputational risks from negative news, public protests, and support for related industries. In November 2024, more than 30 tech and crypto industry executives said they were unable to access banking services. (Cointelegraph)
crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on X platform, noting that a review by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) found that the nine largest national banks in the United States all employ reputation risk policies to varying degrees, allowing political factors, public opinion, and social pressure to potentially influence which customers banks decide can access financial services.Terrett cited OCC Comptroller Jonathan Gould's remarks at a press conference, stating that coal and firearms industry businesses are among the groups most affected, and cryptocurrency firms have also been mentioned in reports. The report calls on the U.S. Congress to take measures to prevent financial institutions from denying banking services based on political factors.
According to CoinDesk, Nasdaq-listed fintech firm Perpetuals.com (PDC) has formally submitted notice to operate a tokenized U.S. stock trading venue under the SEC’s five-year "innovation exemption" framework.

Its U.S. market will be managed by Delaware-based subsidiary Kephas Corporation, facilitating trades through AMM liquidity pools on the Ethereum-compatible layer-2 network Kronos X Public, with the initial trading pair consisting of U.S. stock tokens and USDC. CEO Patrick Gruhn previously oversaw operations at FTX Europe and contributed to the development of early stock token products at both Binance and FTX.
