Odaily News: Cybersecurity firm Check Point Research has discovered that the StopAndProtect ransomware operation has been using nearly 2,000 compromised WordPress websites to spread malware, steal data, monitor victims, and deploy ransomware. The operation was first identified in mid-May.As of July 24, the operation had compromised more than 6,000 unique IP addresses, with 1,852 in the United States, and 630 each in Russia and India. The compromised websites were also used to host malware, relay commands, and store stolen files, screenshots, and activity logs.Attackers lured Windows users into running PowerShell commands through fake CAPTCHA prompts, enabling them to steal credentials and cryptocurrency wallet seed phrases, and spread further across networks and USB devices. Researchers collected more than 31,000 screenshots and over 700 compressed data archives, and believe the attackers may have accidentally infected themselves at some point. (Decrypt)
Odaily News Bitcoin News posted on the X platform that Citi plans to offer bitcoin custody services to institutional clients through its Custody+ platform later this year. The service will bring bitcoin into the same custody framework as traditional assets such as stocks and bonds, allowing clients to access custody, settlement, foreign exchange, cash, and liquidity services through a single system. Bitcoin will be the first digital asset supported by Citi's new custody service, and Citi has not yet announced a specific launch date or its initial client list.Custody+ was launched by Citi Investor Services, with Citi's custody business covering over 100 markets and operating its own custody network in 62 markets. Citi stated that its goal is for the bank to self-custody native digital assets, rather than relying solely on external exchanges or other digital asset firms. The project has been in development for approximately two to three years, and Citi first disclosed related plans in 2025.Citi stated that Custody+ will provide real-time settlement, foreign exchange services, automated hedging, cash management, and liquidity tools. Its Single Event Processing system within the custody platform currently handles more than 80% of event volumes in real time; in the United States, the system reduces processing time for certain voluntary corporate actions by up to 92%, with 96% of related events completed within two hours. Chris Cox, Head of Citi Investor Services, said that Citi invests more than $2 billion annually in its Services platform.
Coldcard has released the latest firmware 5.6.1 (Mk4/Mk5) and 1.5.1Q (Q). This update is based on a three-week security review following the emergency fix on July 31, addressing security risks brought by the previous mnemonic generation attack. Each newly generated mnemonic must now include at least one source of user entropy, including at least 65 irregular keystrokes, 50 physical dice throws, or 128 physical coin flips, combined with fresh entropy provided by STM32 TRNG, SE1, and SE2. The new firmware also adds instant staged PSBT verification before signing, strengthens USB connection and firmware update boundaries, improves Delta Mode isolation mechanisms, fixes active wallet backup issues, enhances random number generator initialization and fault checking, adjusts SIGHASH default settings, and includes multiple security and correctness improvements. Coldcard stated that this update aims to further reduce the risk of device attacks. The official reminder notes that updating the firmware cannot fix existing mnemonics generated by previously affected firmware. If users' mnemonics fall within the scope of this security advisory, they should first update the device, then generate and verify a completely new mnemonic, and migrate funds to the new wallet. Coldcard recommends that all Mk4, Mk5, and Q users update their devices promptly and verify the signature of the downloaded firmware.

Odaily News: US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Michael Selig said on Thursday that even if Congress fails to pass the Clarity Act, the crypto industry will eventually see market structure regulatory rules. Selig stated that establishing a market structure is very important, which can be achieved either through the formulation of regulatory rules or through legislation. The CFTC is weighing a series of potential cryptocurrency rules and is still awaiting progress on the Clarity Act. The bill, which would grant the CFTC primary authority over the digital asset industry, is currently deadlocked in the Senate and is scheduled for a procedural vote in mid-September. However, it remains highly contentious and may struggle to secure enough votes before lawmakers shift their focus to the November midterm elections. Selig added that legislation is the most reliable way to define the crypto market structure, but the CFTC also holds considerable power under existing regulations; if it needs to exercise that power to set rules without supporting legislation, the CFTC will do so.

an Optimism community governance proposal has been passed, reallocating 546.9 million OP tokens originally intended for user airdrops to the "Strategic Ecosystem Fund" managed by the Optimism Foundation, sparking discussions within the community over governance transparency and user rights.The OP tokens involved in this proposal account for approximately 12.7% of the total supply, valued at around $49.7 million at current prices. The Optimism Foundation stated that as the ecosystem strategy shifts toward institutional adoption and enterprise partnerships, large-scale user airdrops no longer fully align with the current development direction, and unused tokens can be deployed for ecosystem incentives, partnership building, and enterprise-level project expansion.The vote ultimately passed with 17.974 million OP in favor and 10.931 million OP against. The pivotal turning point came 16 minutes and 52 seconds before the vote closed, when Test in Prod (delegate.testinprod-io.eth), the core development team of the Optimism ecosystem, cast 8.486 million OP in support, raising the approval ratio from 45.77% to 61.84% and ultimately pushing the proposal through.Excluding Test in Prod's vote, the proposal's support rate would stand at only 46.47%, failing to pass, and the relevant tokens would likely have remained in the user allocation pool. The Optimism Foundation previously committed to disclosing the cumulative usage of the fund and related outcomes through annual budget reports. This vote has also reignited discussions about the influence of "large delegated voting power" in DAO governance and the balance of token holder rights. (CoinDesk)
Odaily News - Bitcoin extended its gains on Wednesday and climbed above $72,000 on Thursday, reaching its highest level since June 1.Market analysis suggests that the recent rally is primarily driven by easing pressure in the U.S. Treasury market. The White House's earlier signals of support for Treasury market stability alleviated investor concerns over bond market volatility. However, the longer-term trajectory still depends on changes in Federal Reserve liquidity policy.Analyst Pedro Fontes noted that if the world's largest debt market requires policy support to maintain stable operation, it would further strengthen demand for assets that are scarce, predictable, and not reliant on government debt expansion—characteristics that Bitcoin aligns with. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index fell 0.88% to 98.77 yesterday, hitting a fresh low since May.Strive Founder and CEO Matt Cole stated that the dollar index has been in a long-term "structural downtrend," and a weaker dollar could create a more favorable investment environment for assets like Bitcoin. Markets will continue to monitor the White House's further remarks on the bond market, shifts in geopolitical conditions, and U.S. initial jobless claims data today, as these factors could influence Treasury yields and market liquidity expectations.

Odaily News: GnosisDAO has approved the transition of the blockchain network Gnosis Chain from a standalone Layer 1 network to a zero-knowledge proof-based Ethereum Economic Zone (EEZ) Rollup.
