Binance Blog published a new article, introducing Binance Academy’s new course designed to help readers understand how traditional finance connects to crypto. The article explains that much of crypto’s vocabulary, including terms such as collateral, liquidity, yield, and settlement, comes from traditional finance, where these concepts and the systems behind them have existed for decades. It also notes that exchanges, lenders, and market makers operate in both environments, making it easier to understand crypto once the traditional framework is clear. To support that learning, Binance Academy is launching “From TradFi to Crypto” on September 16, a course that covers asset classes, market institutions, and how familiar financial ideas map into crypto. The course is presented as a simple introduction for users who want to understand the relationship between the two systems without needing prior trading experience or a finance background. The course is divided into four sections and includes 6 modules, with each module lasting approximately 4 minutes for a total course duration of around 25 minutes. Binance Academy says the material is built step by step and uses plain language, making it accessible to beginners while still useful for people who already trade crypto but have not studied traditional finance. By the end of the course, learners are expected to understand the building blocks of traditional finance, including stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, commodities, real estate, and exchange-traded funds, as well as how these assets fit into markets. The course also compares TradFi and crypto markets by examining settlement times, trading hours, custody models, and regulatory oversight, and explains how these differences affect trading behavior. In addition, it connects traditional concepts to crypto counterparts, such as bonds and yield-bearing products, interest rates and lending markets, and funding rates. It also aims to help readers interpret financial news, price movements, and market signals across both systems. The article concludes by saying that traditional finance and crypto share more language and structure than many people realize, and that the course brings this perspective together at no cost.

Anthropic's major customers are restricting use of its latest Fable series AI models, and some are shifting to OpenAI. According to Sina Finance, Palantir and Booz Allen are expanding use of OpenAI Astra and can use a zero-data-retention option, while both companies have reduced their use of Fable models after Anthropic said in June that it would store data generated through Fable for 30 days for safety reasons. Anthropic plans to launch a new Enterprise Frontier Safeguards program later this fall, which qualified customers will be able to use for zero data retention. According to Sina Finance, it is still unclear what requirements companies must meet to qualify, but Anthropic has already identified participating customers including Salesforce, Comcast, and Visa.

According to Sina Finance, the policy dispute has benefited OpenAI, which is expanding its enterprise business to strengthen its competition with Anthropic.
