Digital asset retail and institutional execution platform tread.fi said its native token, TREAD, will have its genesis on September 16, 2026 at 13:00 UTC. According to ChainCatcher, TREAD is a consumptive utility token designed for use rather than staking, with utility defined through Tread Improvement Proposals. The token has a fixed total supply of 100 million and no inflation or additional issuance function. According to ChainCatcher, the genesis allocation accounts for 15.2% and will fully unlock based on platform usage, with tokens sent directly to users’ registered HyperCore addresses without claim transactions or gas fees, while team members are not eligible. The remaining allocation is split among community and ecosystem at 35.5%, the Tread Labs treasury at 23.8%, the team at 18.0%, and the foundation treasury at 7.5%. Team and Tread Labs treasury tokens will be locked for one year before linear vesting over three years. There are no allocations for private investors, venture capital, CEXs, presales, or SAFTs. TREAD will launch on Hyperliquid as a HIP-1 spot asset, with TREAD/USDC as the main trading pair. tread.fi said it has processed more than $100 billion in trading volume for over 30,000 retail traders and institutional clients across more than 20 centralized and decentralized exchanges.

According to CNBC, Indonesia has appointed Suahasil Nazara as finance minister after President Prabowo Subianto fired Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa, marking the country's third finance minister in two years and drawing fresh scrutiny to fiscal and monetary policy. Nazara, who was sworn in hours after the dismissal, previously served seven years as deputy finance minister and led the ministry's fiscal policy agency from 2015 to 2019. Analysts said the move could help restore confidence after a difficult year for Purbaya, during which credit-rating outlooks were cut and the rupiah fell to historic lows. Qi Hang Tay of the Economist Intelligence Unit said Nazara's experience and ties to the Sri Mulyani era reduce transition risk, while Gareth Leather of Capital Economics called the appointment a welcome development but said more evidence of policy improvement is needed. Nazara said he would protect the budget's credibility and keep the deficit below 3% of GDP.

According to CNBC, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said AI labs that fail to focus on alignment will fall behind, arguing that trust and alignment are becoming the key capabilities that will distinguish agents and models. He said AI labs face significant liability if their models cause harm, and added that Meta delayed shipping its Muse AI technologies for safety and security reasons. Zuckerberg’s comments came as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said AI model makers should take responsibility for their products rather than seek government rules to limit potential harms, while Anthropic chief Dario Amodei called for the tech industry to slow the pace of AI model improvement. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman later said safety and monitoring should take precedence over features in AI development.

Binance Blog published a new article, explaining how corporate clients should use entity onboarding and referral binding when registering through a referral link. The guide says corporate clients should choose “Sign up as an entity” to enter Binance’s entity onboarding process, rather than using the default individual account flow. It also notes that entity onboarding requires Know Your Business (KYB) verification for the company, its ownership structure, and relevant representatives. Binance says the referral should be correctly bound before the client begins trading so eligible activity is attributed under the applicable referral terms. The article adds that products and services may not be available in every jurisdiction and that terms and conditions apply. It outlines why companies, funds, and other legal entities should follow the entity path from the start, since doing so can help avoid onboarding issues and provide access to institutional products and services, including execution services and benefits under the Binance VIP Program. The article also details the differences between entity and individual accounts, including verification requirements, access levels, and compliance records. Individual accounts are designed for one natural person and use personal Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, while entity accounts are intended for companies, funds, and other legal entities and require KYB. Binance says eligible corporate clients may access OTC and Execution Services, including Spot and Options Request for Quote (RFQ), bespoke execution, and Indication of Interest (IOI). Eligible clients may also qualify for the Binance VIP Program, which offers tier-based benefits such as lower fees, higher limits, priority support, advanced insights, selected VIP opportunities, and event invitations. The article explains that OTC activity can contribute toward VIP qualification, with OTC Spot Trading Volume counting at a 4x multiplier toward Spot Trading Volume for VIP qualification from VIP 1 through VIP 9. It then walks through the referral process, starting with creating a referral link in Referral Pro, sharing it with the corporate client, having the client select “Sign up as an entity,” completing business registration and KYB verification, and then confirming referral binding so the commission or discount becomes active. Binance also says each account can bind only one referral code and that the code cannot be changed after binding.
