On-chain fraud detection — I’ve been heads-down on modeling lately, and it’s taken quite a bit of time.
I’m currently experimenting with 8 models. To improve accuracy further, I took one of them and split it into 39 variants for ablation / controlled comparisons.
Dataset: 12,719 nodes (d1) / 23,178 nodes (d2).
So far, it looks like I’ve found a clearly better approach✅

The Great Payment Paradox
We live in an age where you can stream 4K video instantly to any device on Earth, yet sending $100 to your cousin in another country still takes 3-5 business days and costs $25 in fees.
Welcome to the broken world of TradFi payments 🧵
🎙️ @waynehuang, Co-Founder & Group CEO, @xrexinc
As host of Stablecoin Summit, Wayne will kick things off with the opening keynote, and later moderate a fireside on making DeFi yield enterprise-ready.
Be there for both at Stablecoin Summit!

🗓️ 2 Oct
Tether just released its quarterly attestation for Q2 2025.
Highlights as of 30th June 2025:
* 157.1B total issued USDt, end of Q2 2025.
* 162.5B total assets/reserves, end of Q2 2025.
* 5.47B excess reserves, on top of the 100% reserves in liquid assets that back all issued tokens, end of Q2 2025.
* 127B+ in US treasuries (direct + indirect exposure), end of Q2 2025.
* 4.9B net profits, in Q2 2025 (5.7B YTD)
* 13B USDt supply increase, in Q2 2025 (20B increase YTD).
USDt growth is accelerating, leading the market with a 100B delta with the second largest stablecoin.
In the upcoming quarter Tether will focus on a new venture in the U.S, to build a best-in-class product suite (stablecoins plus more), designed for the specific, already highly efficient, market.
Thank you very much for the continued support ❤️
Today Tether publishes (a portion) of its investment/venture portfolio.
Overall Tether group invested in more than 120+ companies and this number is expected to grow significantly in the next months and years.

* these investments have been made with Tether's own profits (13.7B in 2024), outside of USDt (and other stables) reserves and are part of Tether Investments arm.

0/ So talking out loud here:
1 - I don't think that the previous misconception that crypto is all scams and money laundering is correct. But don't take my word for it. The CEO of @inca_digital testified on this exact topic in front of congress, and he's both a former JAG and interpol, so the exact kind of expert you want on this. I'll link to Adam's testimony at the back, but punch line is that while there certainly is bad activity in crypto, it's likely less as a % than both cash (still king for crime) and the traditional system.
