US media: Federal Reserve conducts review of large banks
According to the US financial media outlet Semafor, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has begun visiting large banks to review their lending to private credit companies and to understand these banks' risk exposure in the financial industry. Since this spring, Fed officials have visited JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley, asking questions about overall exposure, risk management, and collateral quality. The review stems in part from JPMorgan's move in March to write down a large number of loans in its private credit portfolio, especially loans to software companies threatened by artificial intelligence. The Fed has completed reviews of some banks, including JPMorgan. It is not uncommon to conduct in-depth bank examinations of their holdings, especially when the media frequently reports on their potential risks.

Qualcomm and Arm's lawsuit involves billions of dollars in chip copyrights.
CoinWorld news: The lawsuit between Qualcomm and Arm is underway in a Delaware court, involving billions of dollars in chip royalties over as much as five years. Qualcomm accuses Arm of refusing to provide the chip testing tools required by the contract and of leaking a threat in 2024 to terminate a key license, affecting a potential chip deal with Meta. Arm denies breaching the agreement and argues that Qualcomm has not proven actual damages. The case is proceeding against the backdrop of rising demand for AI chips and could affect Qualcomm's expansion into the data center and PC markets. The court is considering Qualcomm's request to suspend royalty payments to Arm, which could have a major financial impact on Qualcomm's processor business.
Certik report: AI agents shift toward autonomous execution in Web3 security
According to a report from Bijie Network, Certik's Intel3D report states that AI agents are shifting from assisted analysis to autonomous execution, with the ability to reason independently, invoke tools, and take action. In the Web3 space, AI agents have already been applied to contract grading, transaction risk scoring, and tracking stolen funds. The report points out that the speed of flash loan attacks, the rapid transfer of stolen funds, the shortage of compliance talent, and more than $900 million in anti-money laundering fines in the first half of 2025 are driving the acceleration of security automation. Certik warns of the risks of erroneous output, weakened human review, and attacks targeting AI, and recommends retaining behavioral records, limiting the boundaries of autonomous decision-making, conducting adversarial testing, and designating a responsible person for each agent.

Nasdaq hits record despite 10-year Treasury yield at 5.3%
