PANews reported on September 28th that, according to CoinDesk, Syncracy Capital co-founder Ryan Watkins pointed out that digital asset reserves (DATs) could evolve from speculative entities into long-term economic engines for blockchain. Currently, DATs hold approximately $105 billion in mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, a size that is underestimated by the market. Watkins believes that a small number of DATs will develop into comprehensive operators deeply involved in network construction, assuming responsibilities such as financing and governance. Because they control a large amount of token supply, their reserves are not only a pool of funds but also a tool for influencing ecosystem policies. He cited the example of networks like Solana, where larger-scale staking can directly improve service quality or reduce user costs. Through staking, liquidity provision, and acquisition of on-chain infrastructure, DATs can transform token reserves into productive assets. Successful DATs combine the perpetual capital of closed-end funds, the balance sheet management of banks, and a Berkshire Hathaway-style growth ethos, with returns directly reflected in token appreciation. Watkins predicts that the first generation of DATs, which relied on financial engineering, will be eliminated, leading to industry consolidation. Ultimately, the winners will be those with rigorous capital allocation and operational capabilities, reinvesting profits in token accumulation and ecosystem development. He concludes, "Well-managed DATs could become the Berkshire Hathaway of the blockchain world."PANews reported on September 28th that, according to CoinDesk, Syncracy Capital co-founder Ryan Watkins pointed out that digital asset reserves (DATs) could evolve from speculative entities into long-term economic engines for blockchain.

Shibarium releases security incident update: Specific bridge operations have been restricted, limiting the attacker's short-term BONE token staking

PANews reported on September 21st that the Shibarium cross-chain bridge, which connects the Layer 2 network Shibarium and Ethereum, was previously attacked by a flash loan, with approximately $2.4 million in ETH and SHIB stolen. Shibarium has now released a security incident update, stating: 1. Specific bridge operations have been restricted to prevent new unauthorized transactions; 2. Upgrade and restrict potential abuse paths (deposits/withdrawals/claims/rewards) and add targeted defensive controls to prevent abuse of delegated staking; 3. Recover and protect the at-risk BONE held by the staking managers. The attacker’s short-term BONE staking will be effectively restricted by intervention and protocol mechanisms. 4. Rotate validator signers and migrate contract control to multi-party hardware custody; continue the broad migration away from legacy keys; 5. Real-time monitoring of attacker traffic; automatic alerts and reporting to partners and exchanges; 6. Hire independent security researchers, incident response firms, and relevant departments.
