‍Complex Strategy Gaming May Slow Neural Aging by Seven Years New research suggests engaging in complex, real-time strategy activities, such as sophisticated video games or musical training, can significantly lower a person's biological "brain age." Studies indicate that demanding hobbies, particularly strategy games like StarCraft II, can make brains appear 4 to 7 years younger. This effect is linked to increased neural plasticity and cognitive load, mirroring the demands of learning new skills. For the Web3 and GameFi community, this highlights the potential long-term health value of immersive, strategy-focused digital environments beyond simple transaction-based mechanics.

‍Binance Under Fire for Suspicious Post-Settlement Transactions Reports indicate that Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, has failed to prevent suspicious accounts from moving significant capital even after its $4.368 billion settlement with U.S. authorities. Leaked data reveals that $144 million in high-volume transactions linked to questionable profiles bypassed security filters post-settlement. The internal files highlight suspicious activities, including a Venezuelan user receiving over $177 million with numerous payment detail changes and the use of hundreds of bank accounts by a single profile. Some accounts showed impossible travel patterns and links to high-risk nations. Furthermore, these accounts received funds from wallets linked to terrorism financing. Binance states it has robust systems to flag and investigate suspicious transactions. However, these allegations raise questions about the effectiveness of their compliance framework during the ongoing five-year monitorship, potentially leading to an additional $150 million penalty if remedial obligations are not met.
