In response to community criticism that "holding 50% of the tokens is meaningless," EPIK creator Mando stated that he spent three years supporting the project and used personal funds to repurchase over 50% of the tokens, rather than acquiring a large amount of tokens through an airdrop.Mando mentioned that he jokingly created EPIK during a livestream and subsequently invested a seven-figure sum to support the token over the long term. He noted that this is completely different from the approach of some KOLs, creators, and celebrities who sold tokens they received over the past three years.He revealed that he did not conduct any repurchases that day, but over the last three years, he has cumulatively bought back over 50% of the tokens. He is currently considering distributing some tokens in batches via airdrop to community members and related users who have provided long-term assistance.

According to Bitcoin.com, U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing hard for the CLARITY Act to complete Senate voting before Congress adjourns. Section 303 of the bill grants the Treasury Department the authority to impose targeted digital asset sanctions on foreign jurisdictions, while Section 305 allows exchanges to freeze suspicious transactions for up to 180 days. On-chain data shows that North Korea's Lazarus Group stole approximately $643 million in the first half of 2026, accounting for two-thirds of the total global crypto theft during the same period ($972 million), including a $285 million attack on Drift Protocol in April and a $292 million attack on the KelpDAO cross-chain bridge. The group's cumulative theft amount has reached $6.75 billion since 2019. Currently, Galaxy Research has lowered the probability of the CLARITY Act passing within 2026 to 30%. The bill still requires 60 votes to advance, meaning at least 7 Democratic senators need to vote across party lines in support.

on the eve of Changxin Technology's listing, multiple ETF fund managers including China Asset Management (ChinaAMC) and Harvest Fund Management issued cautionary notices. Certain ETFs under their management participated in the IPO subscription for Changxin Technology and valued it at the issuance price. However, the Indicative Optimized Portfolio Value (IOPV) for ETFs only reflects the issuance price of Changxin Technology and does not include its market price fluctuations. Therefore, on the first day of Changxin Technology's listing, the IOPV of these ETFs may differ from the fund's net asset value (NAV). Investors are advised to pay attention to the associated investment risks.In this regard, an ETF fund manager revealed that currently, fund companies generally participate in IPO subscriptions for these ETFs together with active equity funds. The ETF's IOPV is strictly calculated based on the PCF (Portfolio Composition File), and restricted stocks such as new shares are not included. If Changxin Technology sees a significant price surge on its listing day, the actual NAV of the participating ETFs would be slightly higher than the IOPV, resulting in a deviation. In such a scenario, potential arbitrage strategies could include buying ETFs while hedging with derivatives, retaining only the deviation's excess exposure. (Source: China Securities Journal Taurus)

According to CoinDesk, Eddy Zervigon, CEO of quantum computing security infrastructure company Quantum Xchange, stated that cryptocurrencies, due to their decentralized nature, will become the "canary in the coal mine" for quantum computing attacks—that is, the area where vulnerabilities will be exposed first. Latest assessments by Google researchers show that the number of physical qubits required to break Bitcoin's elliptic curve encryption has decreased 20-fold compared to previous estimates, and multiple institutions have brought forward the expected date of "Q-Day" (the day quantum computers can break existing encryption systems) to 2029. Deutsche Digital Assets pointed out that the real risk lies not in the encryption technology itself, but in the speed of governance—Bitcoin upgrades require 90% miner consensus, which has historically triggered hard forks (such as the 2017 SegWit upgrade leading to the birth of Bitcoin Cash), whereas traditional financial institutions only need a board resolution to complete encryption infrastructure migration. Additionally, experts caution that the quantum threat is not a binary event that "arrives suddenly on a certain day"; even if quantum computers require months to crack data, as long as the cracking is completed while the data is still valuable, the threat is established.
