According to The Block, the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (SFC) issued a circular requiring licensed virtual asset trading platforms and internet brokers to stop using one-time passwords (OTP) for user login and device binding within 12 months, and instead adopt stronger authentication methods such as passkeys (Passkey) and device binding. This move stems from deception attacks accounting for up to 57% of Hong Kong cybersecurity incidents in 2025. The SFC also requires all institutions to establish monitoring systems for suspicious logins, transactions, and withdrawals, and promptly notify customers of unusual account activity; large brokers must implement the new authentication measures immediately. The SFC emphasized that if internal control deficiencies within an institution lead to customer losses, relevant parties will be held accountable.
Gate issued an announcement regarding the recent "user asset theft incident," sharing internal comprehensive verification results, analysis of the incident's cause, and progress on subsequent handling. Regarding the verification process and key facts, the announcement stated that after comprehensive verification, materials submitted by the applicant at the time, including account information, real-name information, transaction records, Alipay screen recordings, etc., matched the account completely. According to analysis by the technical team, Alipay screen recordings can only be made by the customer themselves or someone with access to the customer's Alipay account. Alipay possesses an extremely strict real-time risk control system; logging into Alipay on a different device will mandate multi-factor authentication. This indicates a situation involving serious leakage of customer information or device compromise. Regarding the Gate platform audit mechanism, the announcement stated that the Company's security unbinding audit mechanism strictly executes the four-fold verification process of "Multi-channel advance notification + System risk control preliminary screening + Manual multi-layer review + Time protection," and never has nor will it approve any security item change application based on a single material alone. Gate always takes information security and customer data protection as the Company's core management requirements. The issue of internal information leakage mentioned by some parties does not exist. Regarding fund recovery and subsequent handling, the announcement stated that Gate processed the matter with the highest priority immediately after the incident occurred, coordinating security, compliance, legal, business, and other teams to carry out on-chain analysis and asset tracking and freezing. It continues to coordinate with third-party institutions such as Tether to advance fund freezing. Subsequently, it will also actively cooperate with judicial authorities in investigations and data collection. Any substantive progress will be communicated immediately.
According to Fortune, DeFi asset management and risk analysis company Gauntlet completed a $125 million financing round, exclusively invested by Japanese financial group SBI Holdings. The financing was completed in June this year, and the specific valuation was not disclosed. This is Gauntlet's largest financing round since its establishment in 2018, far exceeding its $24 million Series B round in 2022 led by Ribbit Capital at a $1 billion valuation. Gauntlet was founded by former Wall Street quantitative trader Tarun Chitra. It initially focused on providing stress testing and vulnerability analysis services for DeFi protocols. Later, as the DAO governance model waned, it gradually transitioned to a "treasury curation" business—assessing yield strategy risks through quantitative analysis to help institutional investors manage digital asset allocation. Currently, its clients include asset management giant Apollo, Coinbase, and stablecoin issuer Circle.

According to The Block, BNB Chain is building a new Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for agent trading, targeting transaction pre-confirmation in under 50 milliseconds, and suppressing MEV behaviors such as sandwich attacks by eliminating the public mempool (adopting the TxStream mechanism). The new chain will also reserve block space for oracles, liquidations, and cross-chain bridges via PriorityLane, with a designed throughput target exceeding 100,000 TPS, and supporting sub-second block finality. This chain will become the fourth chain in the BNB Chain ecosystem, connected to BNB Smart Chain via a native bridge, with BSC serving as the settlement hub. The testnet is planned to launch at the end of 2026, and the mainnet is expected to deploy in early 2027.
BNB Chain is developing a new Layer 1 blockchain designed for Agentic Trading, releasing the first detailed architectural information after months of research and development. According to BNB Chain's disclosed technical roadmap for the second half of 2026, the new chain will run in parallel with the existing BNB Chain ecosystem, targeting transaction preconfirmation times of less than 50 milliseconds. The goal is to deliver an execution experience close to that of centralized exchanges (CEX) while retaining the advantages of on-chain self-custody and transparency.In terms of technical architecture, the new chain will remove the traditional public mempool and introduce a transaction transmission mechanism called "TxStream," which directly sends transactions to block producers to reduce latency and minimize MEV extraction behaviors such as sandwich attacks.

Odaily Zcash's native token ZEC rose over 12% on Tuesday after the team responsible for developing its privacy pool said it is nearing completion of a mathematical proof to confirm that there are no undetectable counterfeit minting vulnerabilities in the latest Zcash shielded pool.The verification work, driven by Project Tachyon, is aimed at Zcash's upcoming Ironwood shielded pool. Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox stated that the project is on the verge of producing a mathematical proof, with the goal of proving that the latest Zcash privacy pool has no undetectable minting vulnerabilities.This development follows the disclosure last month of a serious counterfeit vulnerability in the Zcash Orchard shielded pool. At the time, the flaw sparked market concerns about the potential for undiscoverable, hidden inflation risks within Zcash's privacy system, causing ZEC to drop by over 40% within two days.Developers say that with the help of AI-assisted formal verification, proof work that previously might have taken years has now been compressed to a few weeks. The news pushed ZEC back above $500, its highest level since early June. (The Block)
Odaily, on-chain security firm Specter has released preliminary findings on the BONK DAO governance attack. After tracing on-chain fund flows, significant suspicions have emerged: the Realms founder, an address associated with Crypto Notte, shows signs of capital flow interaction with the suspected attacker's wallet.According to the review, the attacker published a malicious governance proposal on June 30. The proposal required 1% of the total BONK circulating supply in voting power to pass. Between July 4 and 5, the attacker acquired sufficient voting weight by purchasing tokens through exchanges and borrowing from Marginfi, totaling approximately $4 million, thereby pushing forward and executing the governance attack.
the Zcash development team announced plans to introduce formal verification through the upcoming new privacy pool Ironwood, using mathematical proof methods to eliminate the risk of "Undetectable Counterfeiting."Previously, although the vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool has been fixed and there is no evidence of exploitation, the community decided to launch a completely new Ironwood shielded pool and perform comprehensive formal verification on its protocol, as it is theoretically impossible to confirm through on-chain history whether covert counterfeiting has occurred.
