The stablecoin aims to replace SWIFT system for proxy settlement, not for consumer trading. 🔥 After Altman’s residence was attacked, Silicon Valley tycoons increase security guards According to Beating monitoring, rising anti-AI sentiment combined with recent attacks on executives is prompting Silicon Valley elites to reassess private security. Many tech founders previously reluctant to carry guards now see security firms providing routine protection, home security, travel risk assessment, and online threat monitoring. The background includes the stabbing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and Molotov cocktails thrown at Sam Altman’s San Francisco residence, as well as damage to OpenAI headquarters. For AI companies, risks extend beyond offline protests; security firms say social media makes public dissatisfaction quickly target individuals, with photos and schedules potentially revealing exploitable information. Public disclosures also show increased security spending: according to Equilar, 37.8% of S&P 500 companies will provide security benefits to some executives in 2025, up from 33.5% in 2024; median benefits rose from $108.7k to $130.5k. Meta’s 2026 proxy states that due to Zuckerberg’s high profile and specific threats, the company provides an overall security plan, with 2025 residential and personal travel security costs around $8.5 million and an additional $14 million pre-tax security allowance. Private security firms are also adjusting personnel: traditional suits and bodyguards may not suit tech founders’ work and social scenes; clients prefer security personnel who can attend board meetings, dinners, and family events. 🔥 Alibaba HappyHorse Launches: 5-Second 720P Video Minimum Cost 2.2 Yuan According to Beating monitoring, Alibaba’s video generation model HappyHorse-1.0 is officially open for use, with video generation and editing portals now live.

Most people think of luxury goods trading as a consumer market, but I prefer to see it as a liquidity market that has yet to be reconstructed on the blockchain. This is also what makes @watchdotfun interesting to me. Many projects like to package entertainment, but it’s more like blending collectibles, social interaction, and financial mechanisms into a new product form. It’s not a traditional lottery platform, but uses verifiable on-chain mechanisms to turn acquiring high-end watches into a real-time participatory experience. Participate in Rolex and other watch raffles starting at just $19, emphasizing provably fair, while also securing a $8.6 million funding round led jointly by Capital and Solana Ventures. What’s truly worth watching is the underlying structure, which productizes the opportunities once limited to niche collecting circles for the first time, and transforms the traditionally low-frequency acquisition of luxury goods into a high-frequency interactive experience. This isn’t just gamification, but a change in market organization methods. Many overlook one point: a good protocol isn’t just about moving assets on-chain, but about enabling previously low-liquidity markets to start gaining network effects. In the past, watch collecting relied on social circles, auction channels, and information barriers; now, it’s trying to dismantle these barriers. This is very similar to the early on-chain restructuring of financial entry points. The only difference is that this time, the focus is on collectible assets. I like this kind of project because it’s not just about creating a cooler product, but about validating how real-world assets are re-priced by attention markets. If attention, collectibles, and on-chain settlement begin to merge, what it discusses is no longer just luxury. It’s a new type of consumer finance protocol. This kind of structure is often more valuable than the story itself. @wallchain #Ad #Affiliate @TermMaxFi
