Odaily reports: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chair Mike Selig stated that after the Senate rejected the Clarity Act, the CFTC will still advance crypto market structure rulemaking, saying "now is the time to act."Selig pointed out that the CFTC's existing statutory authority provides room for advancing rules without waiting for Congress to pass new legislation. The agency will also reassess existing rules applicable to 24/7 on-chain markets driven by algorithms and intelligent agents.Related arrangements may include establishing a designated contract market category to allow exchanges to offer crypto leveraged trading under CFTC oversight; however, the CFTC does not have the authority to regulate the spot market on this basis, and spot market regulation still requires legislation.

According to monitoring by blockchain security firm SlowMist (@SlowMist_Team), MemoryOS (PyPI), an AI memory toolkit under MemTensor, and its OpenClaw plugin (npm) were compromised in a supply chain attack. The affected versions ship with embedded cross-platform Go binaries that automatically execute malicious payloads when the package is loaded or imported. Affected versions include MemoryOS==2.0.34 on PyPI, along with plugin versions 0.1.21, 0.1.23, and 0.1.25 on npm. Through this compromise, attackers can exfiltrate sensitive data such as npm/PyPI tokens, GitHub/GitLab credentials, AWS keys, SSH keys, API tokens, and environment variables. Exfiltrated data is sent back to the attacker-controlled infrastructure at skyleen[.]fr, and the compromised npm plugin may also leak user prompt inputs. SlowMist advises users to immediately downgrade the affected packages to their secure versions (downgrade npm to 0.1.20 and PyPI to 2.0.33), terminate any sckit-related processes, block communication with the associated infrastructure, review network activity, and rotate all credentials across affected environments.
欧洲银行管理局（EBA）建议在欧盟《加密资产市场监管》（MiCA）框架内新增对加密借贷服务的监管，涵盖包括提供 DeFi 协议访问权限在内的业务。该机构提议引入用户适用性测试、杠杆限制以及针对 DeFi 协议的认证制度。
Odaily reports: The European Banking Authority (EBA) has stated that the EU should bring crypto asset lending under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, and that the regulatory scope should also cover situations where crypto asset service providers assist clients in accessing decentralized finance (DeFi) lending protocols.The EBA recommends that the European Commission (EC) conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the relevant legislative changes, and consider adding compliance requirements and supervisory activities for intermediated crypto lending services, while also setting additional requirements for crypto firms that provide access to DeFi lending protocols.Potential measures include user suitability tests, leverage limits, and additional disclosure requirements; the EBA also proposes restricting lending involving asset-referenced tokens or e-money tokens that require MiCA authorization, and establishing a certification system for DeFi lending protocols.The EBA noted that crypto lending is already taking place in at least 16 EU member states, and that access to DeFi through crypto firms and AI tools is increasingly blurring the line between centralized and decentralized finance. The recommendations are part of the MiCA review opinion, which also covers stablecoin rules, crypto asset classification, and reporting requirements. (Cointelegraph)
