According to BlockBeats, on September 19, SlowMist issued a security alert stating that it had recently received multiple reports of FomoPeek users' assets being stolen. A joint investigation with the OKX security team revealed that some affected users had previously installed or used FomoPeek versions 1.1–1.2, and the application contained malicious code.

SlowMist reports that FomoPeek contains modules unrelated to normal business operations, one of which includes a kernel vulnerability exploit framework for iOS systems. This framework supports eight different attack methods and can automatically select the appropriate exploit based on the device model and iOS version. Affected systems include iOS 12.0 to 18.7 and iOS 26.0 to 26.1. If successfully exploited, applications could breach the iOS sandbox and access and decrypt Keychain data, potentially leading to the leakage of private keys, mnemonic phrases, login credentials, and other sensitive files.

In addition, FomoPeek connects to hidden servers unrelated to its public services and can receive remote commands. SlowMist stated that its analysis of captured plaintext traffic shows that the attack functionality is currently enabled and runs automatically on a regular schedule.

SlowMist recommends that users who have installed or used FomoPeek versions 1.1–1.2 immediately check their assets for any anomalies, generate a new private key and mnemonic phrase on a trusted device that has never had the app installed, transfer their assets to a new account as soon as possible, upgrade to the latest iOS version, and not continue to use or reinstall FomoPeek.

According to BlockBeats, on September 19th, HTX market data showed that the wallet address bc1qsz, associated with BIT (formerly Matrixport), deposited another 1,000 BTC into Binance, worth approximately $81.06 million.

According to BlockBeats, on September 18th, analyst Axel Adler Jr. pointed out that Bitcoin rose from $76,300 to $77,400 in the past 24 hours, with the market's buying and selling forces shifting towards buyers. Short positions accounted for the vast majority of liquidations, and the forced liquidation of traders who predicted a decline actually supported the price increase. The liquidation pressure oscillator rose from +0.48 a day earlier to +54.52 on September 18th, and has remained positive since the morning of September 17th, indicating that the current pattern driven by short covering is continuing.

Analysts also cautioned about the fragility of this advantage, noting that the liquidation pressure oscillator has fallen back to zero, indicating that the liquidation balance will shift back to the bullish side. Forced liquidation of long positions will generate selling pressure and exacerbate the downward trend. This rally is clearly driven by short squeezes, with the buying advantage only established in the past few hours. Whether it can translate into a more sustained upward move depends on whether the liquidation structure can remain in a bullish range.

According to BlockBeats, on September 18th, the MINIMAX contract on Hyperliquid was trading at approximately $37.60, up 15.9% in the last 24 hours, with a trading volume of approximately $6.024 million. This represents a rebound of about 32% from the week's low of approximately $28.40. On the same day, MiniMax's Hong Kong-listed shares rose over 16% intraday.

Today's rise was mainly driven by the concentrated progress of overseas commercialization. Since September, MiniMax M3 has been deployed in Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN Arabic model and Genspark AI Slides. MiniMax Agent, Conch AI, and Audio have also been integrated into Singapore's Singtel AI Pass, continuously covering the Middle East, professional applications, and mass-market AI scenarios, strengthening market expectations for its overseas revenue and ARR growth.

This rebound has recovered the cost basis of major long positions. Of the top 20 addresses by position size, 8 out of 9 long positions are currently showing a profit. The top three long positions have a combined holding of approximately $1.466 million and a profit of approximately $168,000. The break-even point for these long positions is $30-$35.

As of press time, the largest short seller in MINIMAX, 0x708f, held 19,700 short contracts at an average price of $43.3, with a position value of approximately $740,000 and a floating profit of approximately $112,000. Together with 0xaca8 and 0x3e50x641e, the four major short sellers had cost bases between $42.5 and $47.5, totaling approximately $1,540,000 in short positions, with a remaining floating profit of approximately $252,000.

While prices rebounded, contract open interest contracted sharply. The notional size of MINIMAX open interest decreased from approximately $7.178 million on September 16 (the low point) to approximately $5.35 million, a reduction of approximately $1.828 million, or about 25.5%; the funding rate was approximately -0.0148%.

On August 27, JPMorgan Chase raised its target price from HK$260 (approximately US$33.1) to HK$300 (approximately US$38.2), maintaining a "neutral" rating. The current price is close to JPMorgan's target price.

In addition, HSBC lowered its target price from HK$760 (approximately US$96.9) to HK$330 (approximately US$42.1), maintaining a "hold" rating. In the same round of research reports, Citigroup and Jefferies raised their target prices to HK$576 (approximately US$73.4) and HK$533 (approximately US$67.9) respectively, both maintaining a "buy" rating.

On September 7, BNP Paribas initiated coverage with a target price of HK$600 (approximately US$76.5) and an "Outperform" rating. Cathay Haitong lowered its target price from HK$1012 (approximately US$129.0) to HK$449 (approximately US$57.2), while maintaining an "Overweight" rating. Goldman Sachs maintained its "Buy" rating and target price of HK$760 (approximately US$96.9) on September 10, citing continued ARR growth and expectations of improved gross margins due to model updates and inference optimization.

According to BlockBeats, on September 18th, Jiang Zhuoer, founder of BTC.com, stated that the bStock token BNCB, corresponding to BNC (the BNB treasury company), had previously fallen below $5, presenting a rare opportunity with high certainty of profit. He noted that $5.76 was the starting point for the price surge after CZ (Cheer Zhou) retweeted a post about a BNC name change poll, and the likelihood of it falling below that level is low. Furthermore, at $5.76, mNAV (mNAV) was 61%, meaning a further drop would be equivalent to buying BNB at a 50% discount. Therefore, he believes $5.50 to $5.76 is a good buying opportunity.

Furthermore, using leverage to buy small-cap stocks carries significant risk; therefore, I purchased bstock spot, also known as BNCB. I believe CZ and Binance will drive a "crypto-stock flywheel," and I anticipate more related events to follow.

Today, Binance founder CZ stated that he participated in the name change poll for BNB Treasury Company (BNC) as a community member. After weighing several candidate names, he found that his choice aligned with the votes of other community members. CZ expressed his preference for "BNB Standard," stating that the name felt more powerful. BNC previously launched a consultative vote, inviting community suggestions for the company's future name. The candidate names were: BNB Reserve, BNB Strategies, BNB Treasury Company, and BNB Standard. BNC stated that this vote did not constitute a shareholder vote, and the final name still requires board approval and legal review.

Following this news, CEA Industries bStock (BNCB) continued to rise, breaking through $6.50, with a 24-hour increase of 33%.

According to BlockBeats, Upbit will delist the ICON (ICX) ICX/KRW trading pair on October 19, 2026 at 15:00. Users must complete asset withdrawals before November 18, 2026.

According to BlockBeats, on September 18, Renaiss and GIWATER completed the integration of TCG card applications, making GIWATER the first decentralized exchange (DEX) in the Korean market to complete the integration of this card application.

GIWA is an Ethereum Layer 2 network jointly built with Upbit, developing on-chain applications and asset services for the South Korean market.

In this collaboration, Renaiss will provide GIWATER with a random number proof of fairness verification standard and third-party verifiable custody capabilities for card inventory. Both parties stated that they will pursue further cooperation in DeFi, RWA, and the collectibles market. Renaiss will also participate in events such as Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) soon to continue promoting local ecosystem cooperation in South Korea.

BlockBeats reported on September 18th that StoneFun, the Solana token issuance platform, announced that Meme Coin, a token paired with the Anthropic token, has distributed approximately $1.3 million in rewards to token holders. The Anthropic token tracks its pre-IPO valuation exposure and is issued by PreStocks; rewards are derived from transaction fees generated from Meme Coin trading and transfers.

According to GMGN market data, the market capitalization of STONK, the token of the Solana token issuance platform StoneFun, has rebounded to over $220 million, with a 27% increase in 24 hours.

StonkFun is an innovative launchpad on Solana, with its core narrative being "truly bridging memes and RWA (Real-World Assets)": users can launch tokens with a single click and freely choose their paired assets, including xStocks (tokenized stocks, such as SPYx tracking the S&P 500), PreStocks (pre-IPO shares), fiat currencies, commodities, other major cryptocurrencies, and even another StonkFun coin. STONK is the equity certificate for "all leveraged launch platforms with pools and the ability to pair with real-world assets," aiming to directly link the Solana ecosystem's meme culture with RWA liquidity.

BlockBeats reminds users that token prices fluctuate significantly, and investment should be approached with caution.

According to BlockBeats, on September 18th, GMGN monitoring showed that Solana's ecosystem token PUMPCADE surged over 42% in 24 hours, with a current market capitalization of $13 million.

It is understood that the token comes from the Pumpcade project, a prediction market built on Pump.fun. It won third place in a hackathon held in March and won a $250,000 investment from Pump Fund (Pump.fun's investment arm).

BlockBeats Note: This token has low trading volume and high volatility; investors should be aware of the risks.

According to Beating AI News, ZCode, an AI programming tool, is reportedly taking a snapshot of the entire project in the background, packaging and encrypting it along with the .git file, and then uploading it to Alibaba Cloud OSS.

Tech blogger ferstar, after reverse engineering the client, stated that this mechanism would run as long as the user was logged in, and there was no switch in the interface to disable uploading.

The author found a snapshot of a commercial project that was approximately 313MB, containing 42,000 files. The `.git` folder comprised 86.6% of this, including Git history objects, LFS large file cache, and reflog. This means that the packaged file included not only the current code but also older commits, previously downloaded large files, and local branch operations. This snapshot had failed to upload 564 times and remained local awaiting retry.

ZCode's official privacy policy currently only explicitly states that it collects text, files, and code submitted by users "in conversations," without explicitly mentioning the entire repository and Git history. The official "Optimization Program" is off by default, but it only controls whether data is used for model training; Ferstar states that turning off this option will not stop snapshot packaging and uploading.
