SEC Exempts AI Data Center ABS from Core Regulatory Requirements, Further Opening Financing Channels for Tech Companies
According to Bloomberg, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently issued an internal letter explicitly exempting asset-backed securities (ABS) related to AI data centers from core investor protection regulations introduced after the 2008 financial crisis, including the "risk retention" clause requiring issuers to retain a portion of the debt. The SEC determined that data centers are not financial assets that liquidate over time, therefore securities linked to them should not be subject to the same regulatory constraints as ABS related to auto loans or mortgages. Although this move does not constitute a formal rule change, since companies had previously voluntarily complied with relevant regulations out of compliance prudence, the substantive impact cannot be underestimated. In terms of market size, the annual issuance volume of data center ABS has surged from $2.4 billion in 2020 to $15.5 billion in 2025, growing more than sixfold in five years, and is expected to hit a new record high in 2026.

Federal Reserve Rate Decision Preview: Inflation Concerns and Policy Divergence Take Center Stage
Odaily News Tim Duy, Chief US Economist at SGH Macro Advisors, said that the recent appearance of multiple Fed officials casting dissenting votes on rate decisions has become more common over the past few years. Especially during periods when the economy faces multiple pressures and the policy path is unclear, strong disagreements among officials are likely, leading to more dissenting votes.Regarding the upcoming release of the Fed's meeting minutes, Duy believes the market's core focus will be on how widespread officials' concerns about inflation truly are. He noted that at the time, inflation was clearly running above the Fed's target, and policymakers worried that inflation would not quickly return to target levels. Meanwhile, the labor market was seen as having stabilized, which led some officials to strongly believe the Fed should raise rates to curb inflationary pressures. As a result, the market will closely watch how many Fed officials share this assessment, and whether concerns about inflation have formed a broader consensus within the decision-making ranks. The degree of divergence among officials over the policy path will also serve as an important clue for judging the future direction of interest rates.
Hyperliquid Policy Center Announces Support for SEC's Proposal to Repeal "Trade-Through Rule"
Odaily News - Hyperliquid Policy Center announced that it has recently submitted a joint comment letter with Douro Labs to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), supporting the SEC's proposal to rescind Rule 611 of Regulation NMS (the "Trade-Through Rule") and calling on regulators to establish a clearer Best Execution regulatory framework for on-chain markets.The Hyperliquid Policy Center believes that the current Trade-Through Rule is built on traditional securities market structures and is clearly incompatible with blockchain-native trading models. HPC and Douro Labs put forward three recommendations in their joint comment letter:First, they support the SEC in rescinding the Trade-Through Rule. The two companies argue that this rule relies on a traditional quote system that cannot accurately reflect the on-chain trading environment, and its continued application could hinder the development of on-chain financial markets.Second, the SEC should establish clear best execution guidance for on-chain trading. On-chain markets feature new factors that do not exist in traditional markets, such as quote-less trading, 24/7 operation, blockchain network fees, and MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). Brokers need clearer regulatory standards to ensure they can execute trades on behalf of clients.Third, the regulatory framework should be principles-based and recognize independent price reference mechanisms. HPC and Douro Labs suggest that when the traditional NBBO cannot cover on-chain markets, the SEC should recognize independent price reference data formed through transparent, manipulation-resistant mechanisms. For example, the Pyth Network, which Douro Labs helped build, provides price oracle services for on-chain markets by aggregating real-time data supplied by exchanges and market participants.

朝鲜黑客组织 Kimsuky将 AI 武器化，针对加密货币领域发动更隐蔽网络攻击
According to Bitcoin.com, cybersecurity company Genians Security Center released an analysis report stating that the North Korean Reconnaissance General Bureau-affiliated hacker group Kimsuky is building and testing an AI-centric cyberattack tool suite.

Since early 2026, Kimsuky has used high-quality documents created by generative AI for spear-phishing attacks targeting the virtual assets, financial investment, and game development sectors; AI-generated professional documents have significantly reduced the effectiveness of traditional phishing email identification. The attack vector consists of ZIP archives disguised as legitimate documents, containing malicious LNK files that can silently execute PowerShell commands in the background after being triggered.

US Department of Commerce Evaluates Kimi K3, Claims U.S. Still Leads, But Report Notes Test Was Not Fully Equivalent
the U.S. Department of Commerce's AI Standards and Innovation Center, in collaboration with the UK AI Safety Institute, tested the cyber attack capabilities of Kimi K3, emphasizing that "the United States still leads."However, the value of the evaluation is debated due to limitations in the testing scope. Due to hosting environment constraints, Kimi K3 only participated in partial testing, with its overall cyber capabilities estimated primarily based on 41 exploit benchmarks. In contrast, other models underwent more comprehensive testing, resulting in a larger margin of error for Kimi K3's results.In the exploit testing, Kimi K3 scored approximately 32%, higher than GLM-5.2's 24%, but lower than the average of approximately 76% for leading U.S. models. In a simulated attack chain test, Kimi K3 completed an average of 17 out of 32 steps in the attack chain and successfully breached the network once in 10 attempts, while U.S. frontier models completed an average of 28.5 steps.The report notes that Kimi K3 already possesses a certain level of autonomous attack capability, and its security guardrails did not prevent the model from developing exploits or executing attacks. However, the report also emphasizes that the testing scope was limited.
