Vince Tallent, Head of Western Union Asia Pacific, said that combining Dash's local customer base with Western Union's global network will help provide a more seamless service. The specific amount of the transaction was not disclosed.

Polymarket has issued an apology for allowing users to speculate on the fate of a U.S. fighter jet pilot after the aircraft was shot down over Iran. According to Foresight News, NBC reported that a U.S. official confirmed a two-seater F-15E Strike Eagle was downed on Friday, with one crew member rescued and the other still missing. The now-deleted market allowed users to predict when the pilot would be rescued, with most speculating a Saturday rescue. The market was titled, "U.S. Confirms Pilot Will Be Rescued By...?" U.S. Representative Seth Moulton, a former Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq, criticized the market on social media platform X, highlighting the inappropriateness of such speculation during a dangerous search and rescue operation in Iran. In response to Moulton's post on X, Polymarket apologized and stated that the market had been removed. The company explained, "We have immediately taken down the market as it does not meet our integrity standards. This content should not have been published, and we are investigating how it bypassed our internal review mechanisms."

Decentralized lending protocol Project 0 has announced the resumption of its operations. According to Foresight News, the platform had previously halted activities and initiated a deleveraging process following a hack on the Drift protocol. Project 0 reported that the remaining socialized loss amounts to approximately $1.9147 million, which will be distributed across the credit pool, resulting in an average asset write-down of 2.61% for lenders. The write-down percentages vary by asset risk level, with USDC, SOL, and USDT experiencing a 1% reduction, mainstream assets like BTC and ETH seeing a 2.61% decrease, and WIF, BONK, and governance tokens facing a 6.62% reduction. Project 0 noted that as Drift assets are gradually unlocked and returned to affected users, the actual loss will be less than the stated baseline figures. Previously, Project 0 co-founder MacBrennan explained that the protocol employs a unified credit pool to enable cross-protocol margin functionality, which is a core mechanism of P0. However, some community members expressed dissatisfaction, stating that they were impacted despite not directly participating in Drift lending.

The Bitcoin network is urged to adopt a conservative approach to its client node software implementation to maintain its monetary properties and bolster network decentralization. According to Cointelegraph, Jimmy Song, co-founder of ProductionReady, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding open-source Bitcoin node software development and education, emphasizes the importance of cautious code changes. Song notes that the organization is biased against significant code modifications unless there is overwhelming community support. Song articulates a guiding principle: if a change does not clearly improve the monetary aspect of Bitcoin, it should not be implemented. ProductionReady aims to restore the 83-byte OP_Return data limit for non-monetary information in Bitcoin transactions, highlighting the necessity of keeping node storage costs low to ensure decentralization. Song explains that the more self-sovereign Bitcoin users become, the more decentralized and resilient the network is. This requires maintaining low costs for running a node, allowing ordinary individuals to participate. The Bitcoin network's decentralization is strengthened by maximizing nodes and making them accessible to average users, thereby reducing the risk of false transactions or network centralization through collusion. Bitcoin Core remains the preferred software for node operators, with 77.8% of the network running some version of the Core software, while 21.8% run Bitcoin Knots. In 2025, node storage and on-chain spam became contentious issues after Bitcoin Core developers altered the 83-byte data limit in Bitcoin Core version 30, the latest major upgrade to the reference implementation for Bitcoin node software. Despite significant community opposition, the limit was increased to 100,000 bytes. The proposal to change the limit received four times as many downvotes as upvotes on its GitHub pull request page. The release of Bitcoin Core 30 in October 2025 led to a historic surge in the number of Bitcoin nodes running Bitcoin Knots, an alternative node client software. The number of Bitcoin Knots nodes reached record highs, representing over 21.7% of nodes on the network, according to Coin Dance. Prior to the decision to remove the OP_Return function, only about 1% of the network was running the Knots software in 2024.

Block co-founder Jack Dorsey has introduced mesh-llm, a decentralized peer-to-peer inference project developed by Block employee Michael Neale. According to Foresight News, this initiative allows users to pool idle computing power to run large open-source models. Mesh-llm supports popular open-source models such as GLM, Qwen3, DeepSeek, and Llama. It operates under the MIT open-source license and provides an OpenAI-compatible API. The project can integrate with AI programming tools like goose and Claude Code and is currently in the experimental phase.
