According to Newsfile, Zhibao Technology (NASDAQ: ZBAO) has signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with multi-asset liquid restaking protocol Bedrock to jointly explore the following three areas: 1. On-chain stock tokenization: Exploring the native issuance of its SEC-registered Class A common shares on public blockchains at the transfer agent level as real-world asset (RWA) equity, while retaining full voting rights, dividend rights, and shareholder privileges; 2. Bitcoin treasury yield generation: Evaluating the partial deployment of the company's 2,380 BTC holdings into Bedrock's liquid restaking infrastructure (uniBTC), integrated with a Chainlink-compatible proof of reserves mechanism; 3. DeFi compliance integration: Developing a KYC/AML/sanctions screening framework to enable tokenized shares to interact with issuer-approved decentralized applications, achieving continuous 7×24-hour settlement. Additionally, Zhibao plans to leverage its AI-driven insurtech platform and reinsurance subsidiary to provide embedded insurance solutions for custody, smart contract, and oracle risks within the liquid restaking ecosystem. The framework agreement is currently non-binding, with a formal contract expected to be executed within the next 12 months. Final implementation remains contingent upon meeting compliance requirements from the US SEC, Nasdaq, and relevant Chinese regulatory authorities.

Odaily News: According to Bitcoin News monitoring, the Lightning Development Kit (LDK) has released a security update fixing vulnerabilities that could allow malicious nodes to steal funds. The most severe vulnerability involves Lightning channel reconnection. According to Bitcoin Optech, malicious nodes could falsely claim they did not receive previously confirmed channel updates. The vulnerable LDK software could then sign conflicting commitment transactions without properly recording the relevant transactions, allowing attackers to reclaim Bitcoin after forwarding payments are completed. LDK versions 0.2.7 and 0.1.13 have fixed this vulnerability. As of the reviewed disclosure information, no confirmed losses caused by these specific vulnerabilities have been found.

PaperTrade posted on X stating that trading volume in the first 6 hours after launch exceeded stock market trading volume; one day after launch, PaperTrade has become a trading platform supporting 1000x leverage, with liquidity pool (LP) size reaching $5 million and $25 million in rewards distributed to staking users.In response to community concerns about the fair launch mechanism and BTC/ETH market manipulation, PaperTrade stated that due to the need to prevent frontend congestion and spam request attacks, small orders cannot enjoy exactly the same priority as large orders, and the team has maximized fairness within these constraints. Some users exploiting the Hyperliquid BBO mechanism to manipulate BTC/ETH was not an oversight in mechanism design, but rather resulted from opening a higher OI cap during the initial launch period to alleviate queuing pressure. As traffic has declined, the team has begun tightening position limits at both the on-chain and relay levels to reduce the profit space for manipulation.PaperTrade added that no system can completely eliminate manipulation, and the goal is to make attacks nearly unprofitable through parameter adjustments, noting that in the relevant incidents, some users ultimately returned most of their profits to the platform due to persistent manipulation attempts.
Odaily reports, according to monitoring by Bitcoin News, @0xJohannes stated that a Ledger hardware wallet purchased from an official European reseller several weeks ago was found to contain an unauthorized spy implant device. Suspicious wiring not present in genuine Ledger hardware was discovered inside the device, indicating it may have been physically tampered with before being sold. The implant appears to be an older version, as newer versions typically conceal the components behind the screen. Funds in the affected device have not been stolen thus far. Suspected cases have currently been reported in Asia, South America, and Europe. If the original secure element remains intact, Ledger's Genuine Check software cannot detect unauthorized physical modifications.

Whether the ban will be lifted in the future depends on economic conditions, and the relevant topic may be discussed during a second Milei term.Despite the ban remaining in place, Argentine banking groups are advancing institutional stablecoin projects through independent entities, aimed at programmable money, treasury management, payments triggered by on-chain events, and collateralized credit management.In the 12 months ending June 30, cryptocurrency transaction value in Argentina exceeded $88.5 billion, making it the second-largest crypto hub in Latin America.

the State Tax Inspectorate of Lithuania has updated the user reporting procedures for crypto asset service providers. Through Order No. VA-63, it has clarified the reporting scope and operational standards, aligning the country's rules with the EU's DAC8 and the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF).The new rules require regulated crypto asset service providers and local crypto operators to enhance customer due diligence, collect user identity, transaction records, and tax residency information, and maintain records of customer identification numbers, transaction logs, and account balances. Entities that have already completed registration and reporting obligations in other EU member states may be exempt from duplicate reporting in Lithuania.Full operational reporting across the EU will begin on January 1, 2026, with data collected by platforms in 2026 to be automatically exchanged among member state tax authorities starting mid-2027. The new rules do not change Lithuania's virtual asset capital gains tax rate, but relevant institutions will need to update their client onboarding processes and back-end systems.Starting March 2, certain transactions involving electronic money tokens (EMTs) will require additional payment service authorization, including transferring EMTs on behalf of clients and operating custodial wallets that support third-party transfers; exchanges between EMTs and exchanges between EMTs and fiat currency are not automatically classified as payment services.
