Confidentiality will continue to unlock new institutional capital onchain. This is just the start. $13 million has already been deposited into the @Morpho vault accepting confidential USDC (cUSDC) as the deposit asset. Public blockchains expose every position, every trade, every strategy. For institutions managing real capital, that's a non-starter. cUSDC changes the equation. Institutions can now earn yield from leading DeFi credit strategies on @Morpho, curated by @SteakhouseFi, while keeping balances, allocations, and strategy confidential onchain. No exposure to competitors. No exposure to counterparties. No leaving DeFi. Zama is building utility for confidential assets. Yield on @Morpho is just the first use case. More to come on the @Zama Protocol.

$SHAZ PARTNERS WITH VAST DATA ON CONFIDENTIAL AI INFRASTRUCTURE Sharon AI will integrate VAST DataEnclave into its AI Factory platform across Australia and Asia-Pacific, allowing regulated customers to run advanced AI models onshore, including in fully air-gapped environments. The setup keeps both customer data and model weights encrypted during processing, including GPU memory and interconnect traffic, with Nvidia GPUs running in Confidential Compute mode. Customers and model providers keep control of their own encryption keys, while even Sharon AI itself cannot access the underlying data or model weights. The platform is aimed at banks, government agencies and other organizations that cannot send sensitive workloads to conventional cloud-hosted AI services.

Elliptic is working with the on-chain confidentiality protocol @zama to bring risk screening to its confidential financial applications. The first is a confidential USDC vault that has already drawn tens of million of dollars in deposits. Zama uses fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to keep transaction amounts private on public blockchains while keeping activity auditable. Elliptic screens wallets for risk so high-risk actors are kept out at the point of entry, without exposing balances, amounts or other sensitive financial information. The result is confidential finance that is compliant by design. Institutions get the risk controls they expect from regulated markets, and users keep the confidentiality that makes on-chain finance viable for real financial activity.

South Korean President Lee Jae-myung openly criticized Ukrainian President Zelensky for publicly disclosing the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to South Korea in his UN General Assembly speech. Lee called the disclosure "deeply regrettable," saying it violated a confidentiality agreement and could create diplomatic and national security problems.

$NEAR went up 70% And it’s going to $10 minimum… Why? Because it’s the most useful confidential + AI infra in crypto • $300M of confidential spot volume • $5M in Intents fees last 30 days ($1.5M going towards buybacks) • Confidential TVL just crossed $70M • Confidential perps just went live on Hyperliquid NEAR Intents already did $29B all-time volume across 36 chains Also about to burn 100% of contract gas fees (no more 30% developer rebate) Do you guys hold any?
