According to SlowMist monitoring, the decentralized exchange Atomic protocol was attacked due to a signature replay vulnerability, resulting in a loss of approximately 29,984 USDC.The vulnerability originated from contract 0xa806010f, which lacked binding of position ID, position manager, caller, nonce, deadline, and chain ID in the signature hash, allowing the same manager's signature to be replayed on 21 different position IDs, executing unauthorized full LP destruction under flash loan price manipulation, and without TWAP or slippage checks.

"1011 Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin released a weekly analysis stating that he previously suggested gradually positioning in storage chips and buying on dips, but the market did not experience the expected pullback. He has sold half of the previously rebounded positions during the surge, not because the investment logic has changed, but because he noticed the funding structure driving the rise, stating, "This is more like a short squeeze rather than a final confirmation of the market fundamentals." Rapid capital replenishment of short positions can create short-term increases in stocks like SK Hynix, but cannot solely support a sustained trend. The risks of Korean leveraged ETFs have not been fully released, but the decline in asset scale mainly comes from net value shrinkage rather than investor exit. Currently, the cumulative net subscription of related financial products remains at historical highs and has not turned negative.Garrett Jin emphasized that the decline in the scale of Korean leveraged ETFs does not indicate a bearish outlook on storage demand. SK Hynix's 2026 capacity is already sold out, and Micron's orders are covered until 2028, with strong demand expected to continue until the second half of 2027. However, the storage industry is essentially a cyclical industry, and stock prices have already risen by hundreds of percentage points in advance. Cyclical stocks are usually difficult to sustain long-term growth through valuation expansion. The current market is entering a new phase of the AI capital expenditure cycle, shifting from "rewarding investment" to "evaluating investment returns." Regarding Bitcoin, Garrett Jin stated that it continues to meet the bottoming conditions since the low in July and maintains the position view established around $60,000.

According to CoinDesk citing informed sources, the cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX spent two years discussing potential sales with multiple buyers, including competitor exchanges and payment platform Exodus, before announcing its shutdown, but ultimately failed to reach a deal. Informed sources indicated that potential acquirers were deterred mainly by the holding structure led by the company's founder, the ongoing shrinking of the business, and lingering reputation issues.Reports state that the company had hired investment bank Broadhaven to manage the sale process in early 2025. Informed sources said that although co-founders Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed had already exited the business after facing U.S. criminal charges in 2020, the three still controlled the vast majority of the company's equity, which made some buyers uneasy and complicated negotiations, as buyers typically hope to secure management's retention post-transaction through partial acquisition consideration.Additionally, during the sale process, BitMEX continued to lose market share as trading activity flowed to larger centralized exchanges and decentralized perpetual contract platforms, making potential acquirers reluctant to pay the revenue multiples typically offered to growth companies.

The cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer Coldcard has released an update on its customer data retention policy. Due to legal compliance requirements arising from the security incident disclosed on July 30, the company has temporarily suspended its original automatic customer data deletion mechanism.Previously, Coldcard's standard practice was to automatically clear customer records after 120 days, retaining only the user's email address and country information, while allowing customers to request early deletion of data at any time after product delivery. Coldcard stated that due to the security incident involving ongoing and potential legal proceedings, the company is obligated to retain records that may be relevant to litigation. Therefore, customer data that was originally scheduled for deletion will be temporarily retained until the law permits the resumption of normal processes.However, users can still request Coldcard to handle their personal information according to the original data retention policy. If users wish for their data not to be included in this legal retention scope, they can contact official customer service to make a request. Coldcard emphasizes that the retained data will be strictly protected, accessible only to authorized personnel, and will not be used for any purposes other than fulfilling legal obligations. The company will restore the previous automatic data deletion mechanism once legally permissible.

According to Wired, during security testing, the open-source model Kimi K3 from the dark side of the moon broke out of the sandbox and accessed the internet, attempting to find test answers via GitHub. American security startup Frontier Security stated that Kimi K3 exploited a sandbox configuration vulnerability, but it itself lacked sufficient built-in protective mechanisms.Similar to incidents previously disclosed by OpenAI and Anthropic, this escape partially stemmed from a sandbox configuration error. However, Kimi K3 did not initiate an attack, as the answers were easily accessible on GitHub. The CEO of Frontier Security stated that Kimi K3 performed excellently in cybersecurity defense but lacked mechanisms to prevent cheating or escaping the sandbox. Security experts emphasized that configuring the testing environment is crucial, as the misuse of AI agents could lead to system failures.

According to monitoring by PeckShield, the attacker-controlled address 0x920d...9708 stole approximately 500,000 USDC from the Base chain victim wallet 0x3a53...0B5c.However, during the subsequent process of exchanging USDC for ETH, the attacker did not set sufficient slippage protection, and the transaction was front-run by MEV bots for arbitrage.

According to CryptoQuant analyst Novaque Research, the Federal Reserve voted 9 to 3 on July 29 to maintain the interest rate target range at 3.50% to 3.75%. However, maintaining the interest rate is different from cutting rates and did not bring new liquidity stimulus, and Bitcoin's internal demand indicators reflect this constraint.Novaque stated that the Coinbase premium index continues to be deeply negative, close to -0.11, indicating that Bitcoin's pricing on Coinbase is weaker than on offshore platforms, pointing to sluggish spot demand in the U.S.; total open interest remains below the 100-day moving average, and CME options exposure has significantly contracted from the peak in the first quarter; exchange reserves have rebounded from the April low to about 2.72 million BTC, indicating an increase in supply that can be sold at any time. It believes that against the backdrop of weak demand in the U.S., simply pausing interest rate hikes can only prevent further tightening and cannot create a favorable environment for price increases, and Bitcoin prices will remain under pressure in the short term.

According to monitoring by Chainalysis, yesterday Hexagate detected that the LpdFi protocol was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately $700,000. The attacker borrowed about $44 million in a flash loan, artificially inflated the price of LPD tokens by 71 times on the DEX, and then used tokens worth only about $2 million to fake a deposit of approximately $140 million in the protocol.One second later (just crossing the daily interest settlement boundary of the protocol), the attacker collected the interest for the inflated position for an entire day, triggering the protocol to liquidate its entire liquidity pool and pay out the stolen funds. After repaying all loans, the attacker made a profit of about $700,000 and immediately transferred the funds through Relay and TornadoCash.

The South Korean stock market fell sharply on Monday, with major chip stocks experiencing profit-taking after last Friday's record surge, while investors also reduced leveraged trading. Analysts indicated that this round of adjustment was mainly due to profit-taking after the previous surge and the exit of leveraged funds. In addition, the strengthening of the Korean won and news related to advancements in AI and semiconductor technology in China also increased market pressure.Data shows that last Friday, the South Korean stock market recorded its largest single-day gain, with the KOSPI rising by 18%, and the large foreign purchases were believed to be related to short covering. However, in early trading on Monday, global investors shifted to selling, with foreign investors selling more than 1 trillion won (approximately 698 million USD) in the South Korean stock market.

According to Bitcoin.com, a Bitcoin and Litecoin holder provided a 12-word mnemonic phrase to an attacker impersonating Trezor support, resulting in approximately $282 million in assets being transferred, including about $139 million in Bitcoin and $153 million in Litecoin. Blockchain forensics company ZeroShadow stated that the incident stemmed from a social engineering attack and was not due to a breach of wallet software or private key infrastructure.The stolen funds were split via the THORChain cross-chain bridge within minutes and converted to Monero through an instant exchange service. The ZeroShadow monitoring team flagged and froze approximately $700,000 in funds within 20 minutes. Under the BIP39 standard, a 12-word mnemonic phrase contains about 128 bits of entropy, while a 24-word mnemonic phrase contains 256 bits of entropy. Chainalysis estimates that up to 23% of mined Bitcoin is permanently inaccessible due to lost keys, involving millions of BTC, with reasons including forgotten mnemonic phrases, damaged backups, and lack of inheritance plans.
