According to Decrypt, Texas lawmakers are considering stricter measures than mere regulation for cryptocurrency ATMs, even potentially pushing for a ban. According to FBI data, losses in Texas due to cryptocurrency ATM scams reached $56.8 million in 2025, the highest in the nation, with 1,179 corresponding complaints.

Odaily News: Data submitted by the FBI to a legislative committee shows that in 2025, losses related to cryptocurrency kiosks in Texas reached $56.8 million, involving 1,179 complaints, ranking first among all U.S. states. Nationwide, related complaints totaled 13,460, with reported losses surging 58% year-over-year to $389 million. Cryptocurrency kiosks accept cash and convert it into cryptocurrency, typically located at gas stations and convenience stores. According to Texas Tribune data, there are approximately 4,000 such machines in Texas. Scammers often trick victims into withdrawing cash from their bank accounts and depositing it into the machines. Jesse Saucillo, Deputy Commissioner of the Texas Department of Banking, stated that once funds are transferred out, recovery is nearly impossible, as the money typically flows to non-custodial wallets and then into mixers and other channels. He added that AI-generated impersonation content of police and state agencies has made phone-based scams more deceptive. AARP data shows that since 2023, around 30 U.S. states have enacted laws related to cryptocurrency kiosks. Indiana imposed a full ban on such machines in March, with Tennessee and Minnesota following suit. Texas House Committee Chairman Rep. Cole Hefner said the state will consider measures that go beyond the scope of regulation.

Odaily News — U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has proposed the "Creating an Anti-Corruption Bureau Act," which plans to establish a new federal anti-corruption agency responsible for investigating, enforcing, and preventing corruption within the executive branch. In a statement, Schumer noted that U.S. President Donald Trump previously disclosed investment income exceeding $2 billion in 2025, of which approximately $1.4 billion came from crypto-related businesses; in addition, the Trump family also holds crypto fund assets linked to foreign governments.The proposal would consolidate agencies such as the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), and the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). Trump's relationship with the crypto industry is also one of the main controversies in the advancement of the current U.S. crypto market structure bill, the CLARITY Act.The White House responded that Trump's investments are managed by independent third-party financial institutions and that there is no conflict of interest. Meanwhile, the CLARITY Act remains under consideration in the U.S. Senate, with no vote scheduled yet. (Cointelegraph)

Funding sources include equity contributions from public institutions such as policy banks, with an initial scale of no less than 20 trillion won.
According to BIT Official Chinese (@BITofficial_CN) analysis, the current crypto market faces dual pressure from the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and the slowed progress of the CLARITY Act. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh maintains a hawkish stance; the 2-year US Treasury yield has risen cumulatively by approximately 35 basis points since late January, and the Committee has seen a pattern of 9 votes to maintain interest rates and 3 votes supporting rate hikes. Regarding the CLARITY Act, prediction markets indicate a mere 32% probability of it being signed by the end of 2026, with the legislative window continuing to narrow. Meanwhile, crypto market trading volume has retreated 80% from highs, total market cap has fallen approximately 50%, and USDT and USDC have shown no significant expansion since November 2025, reflecting an overall lack of new USD liquidity in the market. Despite this, Bitcoin remains within the $62,000 to $66,000 range, correcting only about 3% over the past week. It demonstrates stronger resilience compared to most altcoins, reflecting that active position adjustment pressure has been largely released. BIT points out that if Bitcoin subsequently regains $70,000 and drives multiple indicators to turn bullish, it will further confirm that the low point of this cycle has been established.

据 Cointelegraph 报道，加拿大比特币硬件钱包制造商 Coinkite 警告 Coldcard Mk3 用户立即迁移资金，受影响固件版本为 2021 年 3 月发布的 4.0.1 至最终版本 5.0.3，Mk4、Q 及 Mk5 不受影响。与此同时，比特币安全专家正在调查一起涉及 594.48 枚 BTC（约 3830 万美元）的异常清仓事件，涉及 1324 个 UTXO 在三个区块内通过 500 笔交易被转移，所有地址均为单签名地址。
HTX DeepThink columnist and HTX Research analyst Chloe (@ChloeTalk1) pointed out in her analysis that global risk assets continued to come under pressure this week. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh attempted to weaken forward guidance (Forward Guidance) for the first time, hoping to make market prices a more direct economic feedback mechanism. However, the market did not interpret the rise in long-term interest rates as a natural tightening of financial conditions, but instead interpreted it as inflation risks resurfacing and a decline in Federal Reserve policy credibility. The 30-year US Treasury yield rose to 5.2%, the US dollar weakened, and US stocks retreated, reflecting that investors are beginning to demand higher risk premiums rather than betting on an improvement in economic fundamentals.
Odaily News, BIT Official released a weekly report stating that trading volume in the crypto market has fallen 80% from its peak, contracting approximately 60% from the Q4 2025 high, while the total crypto market cap has also dropped 50%. The report noted that without a meaningful recovery in volume, the market will struggle to form a sustained rebound.Despite the market still digesting the double headwinds of the Fed's hawkish policy stance and stalled progress on the CLARITY Act, Bitcoin has held within the $62,000 to $66,000 range. BIT Official expects Bitcoin to eventually break upward.The report stated that Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has recently adopted a "say less, do less" communication strategy, and the uncertainty surrounding his policy stance is unsettling the market. Warsh has been known for his hawkish position over the past two decades, but the market had previously anticipated that, with Trump's support, he might push monetary policy in a more dovish direction. If that shift materializes, it could be a positive catalyst for Bitcoin.Additionally, prediction market data shows that the probability of the CLARITY Act being signed into law by the end of 2026 currently stands at just 32%. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated that the Senate will prioritize other issues, and with the August recess approaching, the remaining legislative window for the bill is further narrowing.
Odaily News: The Consumer Technology Association (CTA), an industry organization representing over 1,300 technology companies, is urging the U.S. Senate to advance the CLARITY Act and establish clear federal rules for digital assets. Michael Petricone, CTA's Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, said on X on July 28 that the House has completed its work, and the Senate now must decide whether financial technology innovation develops in the U.S. or overseas. CTA stated that regulatory certainty would boost investment, strengthen consumer protections, expand innovation, and reinforce America's position in blockchain technology. The organization noted that companies need clear federal rules for digital assets before committing long-term capital and developing new financial products. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis has released a revised version of the CLARITY Act text, incorporating work from the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee, covering market oversight, consumer protections, and the allocation of regulatory authority over digital assets. Senator Elizabeth Warren stated that the revised text still fails to address significant conflicts of interest. The bill remains stalled in the Senate as lawmakers negotiate unresolved provisions. Stablecoin rewards are also a point of contention, with more than 130 banking executives urging legislators to prevent payment stablecoins from operating in a manner similar to interest-bearing accounts.
Odaily News: Canadian Bitcoin hardware manufacturer Coinkite has warned users of Coldcard Mk3 signing devices to migrate funds from wallets whose seed phrases were generated by affected firmware. Coinkite stated that seed phrases generated by Mk3 firmware version 4.0.1 and later, released in March 2021, may put funds at risk, with the impact extending to version 5.0.3, the final version supporting the Mk3. Coinkite said that Mk4, Q, and Mk5 models are not affected; affected users should generate new seed phrases on unaffected devices, verify backups and receiving addresses, send a small test transaction first, and then migrate the remaining funds. The company said its investigation is still ongoing and that a formal technical review will be published. Bitcoin security experts are examining a centralized transfer of unclear origin involving 594.48 BTC in single-signature addresses, valued at approximately $38.3 million. Rob Hamilton, CEO and co-founder of AnchorWatch, stated that 1,324 unspent transaction outputs were moved via 500 transactions within a three-block window, with 562 BTC subsequently consolidated into another address. Kevin Loaec, CEO of Wizardsardine, said the current hypothesis is that a low-entropy random number generator has caused insufficient randomness in some wallets' seed phrases, with the relevant flaw potentially stemming from a software library, secure element, specific device batch, or firmware version. He added that this hypothesis has not yet been confirmed, and wallets from which only partial funds were transferred may still face the risk of subsequent theft.
Odaily News, July 30 – Anthropic released a report stating that during a review of cybersecurity assessment records, three incidents were discovered in which the Claude model accessed the internet in a third-party evaluation environment and further obtained unauthorized access to three real organizations' systems.Anthropic stated that the review covered 141,000 evaluation runs that could have potentially gained network access, and a total of three related incidents were found. All incidents occurred during Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity tests, where the model was told the environment was a simulation with no internet access; however, due to configuration errors by the evaluation partner, the actual environment had internet connectivity.Among these, Claude Opus 4.7 accessed real company infrastructure during one test and obtained database permissions containing hundreds of production data records; Claude Mythos 5 built a malicious Python package and uploaded it to PyPI, resulting in the package being downloaded and run on 15 real systems; another internal research test model scanned approximately 9,000 targets and accessed a company's internet application through a public vulnerability.Anthropic stated that these incidents were not cases of the model actively seeking to escape or pursue its own goals, but rather the model mistakenly believed the real systems were within the test scope and continued executing the assigned cyberattack tasks. Notably, the newer internal research model stopped attacking after identifying that the targets might be real systems.Anthropic stated that these incidents primarily reflect issues with evaluation environment isolation and operational processes, rather than model alignment failures. The company has suspended related cybersecurity assessments, strengthened security controls in evaluation environments, continuously monitored test records, and will collaborate with third-party organizations to conduct further reviews.
