Geneva, Switzerland — September 16, 2026 — The Office of Justin Sun today announced the establishment of the Justin Sun Prize, a zero-trust, decentralized academic bounty mechanism based on a “problem list,” with breakthroughs in fundamental disciplines and machine formal verification as the criteria for awarding prizes, and a top prize of up to US$1 million for a single problem. The prize seeks to redefine scientific rewards in the AI era and accelerate fundamental scientific research through collaboration between humans and AI. The first list of Justin Sun Prize winners was also announced, recognizing solutions and formalized proofs involving 66 mathematical problems. The top prize, worth US$1 million, was awarded to the OpenAI research team in recognition of its solution and formalized proof for the Existence and Smoothness of the Three-Dimensional Navier–Stokes Equations problem. According to information published by OpenAI, the relevant proof was produced by its internal model, and the Lean formalization and verification were completed by GPT‑6 Astra. This problem concerns the Navier–Stokes equations, which describe the motion of fluids and are commonly abbreviated as the N–S equations. The equations were developed in the 19th century by French physicist Claude-Louis Navier, Irish-born British mathematician George Gabriel Stokes, and others, and have a history of approximately two hundred years. In 2000, the Clay Mathematics Institute listed the Navier–Stokes Existence and Smoothness problem as one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems and offered a US$1 million reward for its solution. The Justin Sun Prize does not use traditional nominations or credential thresholds as barriers to entry, nor does it operate on a four-year cycle or the rhythm of lifetime achievement. Instead, it ties the prize directly to mathematical problems and machine-verifiable formalized proofs. Anyone can receive the prize as long as they are the first to achieve a qualifying breakthrough. The vision of the Justin Sun Prize is to become the “Nobel Prize of the AI Era,” responding to the profound transformation of scientific research and incentives in the new era in a more decentralized, formalized, and machine-driven way. The repository of mathematical problems and formalized code will be maintained and publicly updated on an ongoing basis. Once a problem is listed, it is locked in: problems can be added only, never removed; awarded prize funds do not need to be returned under any circumstances. The current problem list already includes formal verification of the Poincaré Conjecture, the Riemann Hypothesis, Goldbach’s Conjecture, and a large number of unsolved problems proposed during the lifetime of the late mathematician and Wolf Prize laureate Paul Erdős.   In addition to the prize, winners will also receive a certificate and a medal. The edge of the medal is inscribed with the Latin phrase “Quod probatur, solvitur,” meaning “Proved, then paid.”   The Justin Sun Prize adheres to three core principles: openness, public benefit, and open source. It is open to all eligible contributors, with no restrictions based on nationality, institution, or identity, and makes no distinction between humans and AI; funds are used exclusively for prize awards and open initiatives and are not intended for profit; the problem list, confirmation standards, proofs, and verification materials are all made available to the public through GitHub, while prize disbursement records are recorded on-chain for permanent traceability and immutability.   “An award named after a person is the least political thing in the world,” said Sun. “More importantly, it gives me an answer to myself—my wealth is rooted in mathematics. It came from mathematics, and it will return to mathematics.”    According to public records, Sun has donated more than US$45 million across technology, environmental protection, disaster relief, and other fields. The Justin Sun Prize will become a central focus of Sun’s philanthropic efforts, continuing to support breakthroughs in fundamental science through an open and verifiable model.   The prize will be paid out in either USDT on TRON (TRC-20) or USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) based on the recipient’s choice. For more information, please visit www.hejustinsun.com/prize.    About the Office of Justin Sun The Office of Justin Sun supports Justin Sun’s global business, philanthropic and public initiatives across technology, blockchain, artificial intelligence, scientific research, investment, art and space exploration.    Justin Sun is the Ambassador and former Permanent Representative of Grenada to the World Trade Organization and the Founder of TRON.

His broader interests span technology, investment, philanthropy, art, gaming, and space exploration.   Office of Justin Sun Contact: info@hejustinsun.com    About Justin Sun Prize  The Justin Sun Prize is an academic initiative established by Justin Sun to support advances in mathematics, formal verification, and AI-assisted scientific discovery. The prize is decentralized and built around the principle that mathematical work should be judged by the strength, rigor, and verifiability of the proof itself, not the prestige or reputation of those submitting it.   Justin Sun established the prize in his own name as a long-term commitment to return wealth created through mathematics and technology back to mathematics itself. Its legacy is intended to be defined by the body of work it recognizes and the laureates whose discoveries stand the test of time. The prize links clearly defined mathematical challenges to machine-verifiable proof. Its guiding principles are openness, public benefit and open-source access.   Visit https://www.hejustinsun.com/prize for more information.    Contact: thejustinsunprize@hejustinsun.com

Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 16, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its July–August 2026 security report. The report shows that MEXC successfully intercepted all 215 reports involving risk-related funds during the period, covering approximately 38.66 million USDT. The total balance of the Futures Insurance Fund rose to 792 million USDT. Meanwhile, the reserve ratios for BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC all remained above 100%.   In July and August 2026, the crypto industry recorded 184 security incidents, with reported losses totaling approximately $535 million. Phishing and fraud incidents, together with endpoint and supply-chain security incidents, accounted for approximately 48% of the total. At the same time, a growing number of attackers are using AI to auto-generate phishing content and help write malware, increasing the efficiency of their attacks. As attack methods become more diverse, promptly identifying and intercepting risk-related funds and strengthening cross-platform investigation have become increasingly important to reducing user losses.   All 215 Reports of Risk-Related Funds Successfully Intercepted, Covering 38.66 Million USDT In July and August, MEXC assisted with 215 reports involving externally stolen or fraud-related funds flowing into the platform. All 215 cases were successfully intercepted, covering 38,655,490 USDT. Of these cases, 42 involved assistance with judicial freezes. Compared with the previous reporting period, the number of successfully intercepted cases increased by approximately 2,971%, while the value of intercepted funds increased by approximately 12,646%.   In tracking and handling risk-related funds, MEXC shared suspicious addresses with major industry participants, assisted in identifying fund flows, and supported verification and freezing procedures under established joint-investigation and law-enforcement cooperation procedures.   Over 20,000 Risk-Related Accounts Identified and Restricted, With More Than 600,000 USDT in Misdirected Assets Returned In account risk identification, MEXC identified and restricted 20,752 accounts associated with risk-related activities during the period, an increase of 118.03% from the previous reporting period. The platform identified 5,288 risk groups, up 20.35%. By region of origin, these groups were concentrated primarily in the Commonwealth of Independent States (1,803), Nigeria (1,099), and Indonesia (976).   For user asset recovery, MEXC manually processed 818 applications for the return of misdirected assets, returning the equivalent of 602,225 USDT, an increase of 75.31% from the previous reporting period.   Futures Insurance Fund Reaches 792 Million USDT, Strengthening Protection Against Negative Balance Risk As of September 1, 2026, the total balance of the MEXC Futures Insurance Fund reached 791,696,422 USDT, an increase of 5.44% from the previous reporting period.   The Futures Insurance Fund covers negative balances that may arise during liquidation, providing a risk buffer during extreme market conditions and helping reduce the likelihood of auto-deleveraging (ADL). When a liquidated position is closed at a price better than the bankruptcy price, the remaining funds are credited to the fund. Users can view the real-time balance on the MEXC Proof of Trust page.   Reserve Ratios for Four Major Assets Remain Above 100%, With BTC at Approximately 288% According to the proof of reserves disclosed for this period, MEXC maintained reserve ratios above 100% for four major assets, as follows:   Bitcoin (BTC): reserve ratio of approximately 288%, with total wallet assets of 12,312.75 BTC against 4,282.20 BTC in user assets; Ethereum (ETH): reserve ratio of approximately 113%, with total wallet assets of 66,227.79 ETH; USDT: reserve ratio of approximately 115%, with total wallet assets of approximately 1.940 billion USDT; USDC: reserve ratio of approximately 114%, with total wallet assets of approximately 194.85 million USDC.   The on-chain addresses corresponding to these reserve assets have been disclosed, allowing users to verify through the Merkle Tree whether their individual account balances were included in this proof of reserves.   As an additional layer of user asset protection, the MEXC Guardian Fund maintains a dual-reserve structure of USDT and BTC: USDT provides immediate liquidity support, while BTC serves as a long-term reserve asset across market cycles. MEXC plans to expand the fund from $100 million to $500 million, continuing to strengthen user asset protection. The relevant holding addresses are listed below:   Guardian Fund Wallet Addresses: USDT: 0x469AfE803C54A36674C55231489Cf4b61da8c1bC BTC: 1MDVjZdX8QD212pT8Z8EMP7DuFQHKqN3mx   MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, “Trust is the true reserve currency of this industry. Protecting user assets means moving decisively the moment risk emerges, while giving users something they can verify for themselves, not just our word for it. We will continue to strengthen our ability to identify and intercept risk-related funds, deepen cooperation across platforms and with law enforcement, and help affected users recover their losses wherever possible. Our bi-monthly security reports are part of that commitment, allowing our security performance to be measured and tracked over time.”   About MEXC Founded in 2018, MEXC is a leading global multi-asset trading platform built as your 0-fee gateway to infinite opportunities.

BitGo Korea, whose strategic shareholders include Hana Financial Group and SK Telecom, recently secured acceptance of its Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration from Korea’s Financial Intelligence Unit (KoFIU), establishing a regulatory foundation for its domestic operations. Mike Belshe, Co-Founder and CEO of BitGo, will also speak at KBW2026. Stable and Tria will participate as Diamond Sponsors. Brian Mehler, CEO of Stable, and John Lilic, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Tria, will each take the stage at KBW2026. Stable is building blockchain infrastructure optimized for stablecoin payments and transfers, while Tria is building financial infrastructure enabling businesses and AI agents to transact across blockchains and digital assets, powering its growing stablecoin neobank. This year’s sponsor lineup reflects the continued expansion of the global digital asset industry beyond trading and investment into institutional finance, payments, stablecoins, AI and next-generation infrastructure. With senior executives from many of these companies participating not only as sponsors but also as speakers, KBW2026 will offer attendees a firsthand look at the strategies of companies driving the industry’s next phase of growth. KBW2026 will take place in Seoul from September 29 to October 1. The Upbit Institutional Summit (UIS), an invite-only gathering focused on institutions and the financial sector, will be held on September 29, followed by the KBW2026 main conference from September 30 to October 1. Andrew Park, CEO of FACTBLOCK, said, “This year, KBW is bringing together key partners that are shaping the next stage of the industry, spanning exchanges, institutional digital asset infrastructure, AI, stablecoins and next-generation financial services. With senior executives from these companies also taking the stage as speakers, KBW2026 will provide a valuable opportunity to see where the most important changes in the global digital asset market are emerging.

The most-quoted AI agent statistics count intent, and real use in any single department is no more than 10 percent, finds a source-checked analysis by bdautomated 75 figures from 18 publishers traced to the original reports, with who was asked and what counted; the dataset is free to download 15 September 2026. bdautomated today published “AI agent statistics 2026: every number checked at its source”, a free reference page and dataset that traces 75 widely quoted statistics about AI agents and AI use in business back to the documents they came from. The analysis finds that the numbers disagree because they count different things. In McKinsey’s 2025 global survey, 62 percent of organizations were at least experimenting with AI agents, 23 percent had scaled one somewhere in the company, and in any single business function no more than 10 percent had. Surveys that count any adoption or intent report far higher figures: 79 percent of U.S. executives told PwC in April 2025 that agents were already being adopted in their companies, while a Capgemini survey that re-checked what respondents meant by “agent” found 14 percent had implemented one. Across all U.S. businesses of every size, the Census Bureau found 19.8 percent using AI in any business function as of May 2026. The page also decodes the figure that rattled markets in 2025. MIT Project NANDA’s finding that “95 percent of organizations are getting zero return” measured profit-and-loss impact within roughly six months of a pilot, in a sample of 52 interviews, 153 conference survey responses and 300 public deployments, and its authors call the findings preliminary. It does not say that 95 percent of AI projects fail. Gartner’s prediction that over 40 percent of agentic AI projects will be canceled by the end of 2027 is a forecast from June 2025; nobody has counted the cancellations yet. Every figure on the page passed four checks: the number appears in the original document; the exact place and a verbatim quote are recorded; what it measures is written in plain words, including who was asked, how many and when; and it is set against the other sources, with disagreements shown rather than averaged. Market-size forecasts were left out because the reports behind them are paid and cannot be checked. The dataset is published as CSV and JSON under a CC BY 4.0 licence, and the page carries a corrections address. “Two headlines in the same week said almost nobody has AI agents running and almost everybody does, and both were quoting real surveys. We wanted the page we could not find: what each survey actually asked, so a business owner can tell which number is about a company like theirs,” said a spokesperson for bdautomated. The page includes four charts that other publications may embed with attribution, and a table of all 75 figures with their sources, dates, samples and quotes.
