About 1,200 small and medium-sized enterprises have joined the Japan National Business Enterprise Pension Fund (located in Okayama City), which plans to start investing in cryptocurrencies in the fiscal year 2026. There have been some cases of Japanese companies investing in crypto assets, but it is still relatively rare for domestic pension funds to participate directly in crypto investments.The fund plans to allocate about 1% of its total assets to cryptocurrencies and will do so indirectly by investing in passive funds managed by large hedge funds that include various crypto assets. In terms of asset allocation, its structure for the fiscal year 2025 is: 80% yen, 15% US dollars, and 5% other currencies. In the fiscal year 2026, it plans to adjust to: a reduction of yen to 70%, an addition of 10% allocation to developed country currencies, and the remaining 5% allocated to emerging market currencies, gold, and crypto assets.The main purpose of this adjustment is to diversify exchange rate risk. The fund's executive director, Ai Kuchi, stated that the status of the US dollar as a global benchmark currency may be weakening, which is why they decided to reduce their holdings in US dollars. At the same time, he pointed out that the correlation between Bitcoin and the US dollar index is almost zero, making it a tool for hedging against currency depreciation risk and enhancing the portfolio's ability to withstand inflation.

According to ET News, the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) experiment in South Korea is advancing to a new stage, which will achieve integration with the actual account systems of commercial banks.

According to monitoring by Blockaid, Taiko's ERC20 Vault on Ethereum was attacked, resulting in losses exceeding 1 million dollars. The root of the vulnerability lies in the flawed verification of source signal proofs in Taiko's cross-chain bridge, where the constructed message proof was accepted as valid on Ethereum L1 without the corresponding legitimate MessageSent event on Taiko's source chain, allowing attackers to register and extract fraudulent cross-chain messages, thereby unauthorizedly releasing assets from the ERC20 Vault.

The Zodiac team released a security incident analysis report regarding the impact on the Zodiac Roles Modifier, disclosing that the root cause of the vulnerability lies in a flaw in the ERC-1271 transaction signature verification logic: the system only determines the validity of the signature based on the returned "magic value" without verifying whether the call itself was successful, which may disguise a failed verification as a valid signature, bypassing the module authentication mechanism.

The leaders of the G7 countries issued a statement at the G7 summit held in Évian-les-Bains, France, once again calling for a joint effort to combat North Korea's cryptocurrency theft and cybercrime. United Nations security researchers have linked North Korea's cryptocurrency theft to the funding of the country's weapons program.Previously, attacks suspected to be related to North Korean hackers included a $285 million attack on Drift Protocol in April and a $36 million breach of Humanity Protocol in June. According to Chainalysis data, North Korean hackers have stolen at least $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, bringing their total historical theft to at least $6.75 billion.

The Ministry of Commerce and seven other departments officially released the "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Development of 'Artificial Intelligence + Consumption'," proposing 17 specific measures around five major areas: commodity consumption, service consumption, business innovation, and promotion guarantees. The aim is to address structural bottlenecks on both the supply and demand sides, promoting the accelerated integration of artificial intelligence technology into households and businesses.The "Opinions" clearly state that in the commodity sector, the supply of smart terminals will be expanded, a new track for humanoid robot consumption will be established, and a "people, vehicles, homes" full-scene interactive ecosystem will be created. It also promotes the deep integration of AI with cutting-edge technologies such as brain-machine interfaces and augmented reality. In the service sector, the focus will be on five major scenarios: home care, elderly care, and cultural tourism, researching the inclusion of smart homes in the "good housing" construction guidelines, and equipping elderly care institutions with smart nursing and rehabilitation robots. Furthermore, the "Opinions" also plan to embed AI technology in retail, e-commerce, and logistics to enhance circulation efficiency, and propose the establishment of "Artificial Intelligence + Consumption" aggregation areas and experience centers, requiring close alignment with existing consumption promotion policies such as "trade-in for new" for digital products, thereby shifting the logic of consumption growth in our country from reliance on external stimuli to gradual empowerment through technology.

According to the latest "2026 Artificial Intelligence Status Report" released by Sensor Tower, as users migrate between different AI assistants, ChatGPT's global market share fell below 50% for the first time at the end of May this year, dropping to 46.4%.

According to CryptoSlate, the U.S. Congress is pushing to rebuild the Department of Justice's cryptocurrency crime task force. Previously, the Department of Justice disbanded the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Team in April 2025 and stopped its "law enforcement as regulation" strategy targeting the cryptocurrency industry. The new bill was proposed by Representatives Lance Gooden and Josh Gottheimer, aiming to establish a federal cryptocurrency theft task force within the Department of Justice, responsible for coordinating investigations and prosecutions of cases involving cryptocurrency theft, hacking, fraud, and more.The task force's responsibilities include developing best practices for evidence collection, digital evidence analysis, asset tracking, and victim outreach, providing technical assistance and training to state and local law enforcement agencies, and coordinating international cross-border case cooperation. The bill explicitly excludes the cryptocurrency market, financial institutions, and financial products from the task force's regulatory scope, without changing the existing regulatory framework and criminal law. An FBI report indicates that in 2025, there were 181,565 complaints involving cryptocurrency, with reported losses exceeding $11 billion. The bill has not yet clarified details regarding funding, staffing, and victim response mechanisms.

According to Fortune, Mastercard has announced a new protocol called Agent Pay for AI, allowing AI agents to make payments and conduct small transfers among themselves— for example, automatically paying when an AI agent retrieves data from a website in segments. The protocol stores the permissions granted to AI agents by humans on the blockchain, initially using the Polygon network to ensure transparency and verifiability, allowing multiple parties to verify whether the agents are acting as instructed.Companies like Adyen, Coinbase, and Cloudflare are collaborating with Mastercard to develop this protocol. Mastercard's Chief Product Officer Jorn Lambert stated that this protocol will not become a major source of revenue in the short term, but it is expected to develop into a significant new market over the next five years.Giants like Visa, Stripe, Coinbase, and Google are actively laying out AI payment protocols, jointly promoting the future of "machine-to-machine payments" and AI chatbots dominating e-commerce transactions; however, the current volume of agent-based payments remains relatively small.

According to The Block, Starknet has launched the zero-knowledge privacy framework STRK20, which provides balance shielding and private transfer capabilities for any ERC20 asset on the network, and has first been implemented on strkBTC.This framework allows developers to introduce privacy features for scenarios such as transfers, exchanges, lending, staking, payments, and donations without the need to build a separate privacy system.STRK20 embeds a "shielding" mode in the asset path, rather than using a traditional mixer structure, while introducing a viewing key mechanism that selectively discloses specific wallet information only upon receiving legally valid requests, balancing privacy protection and compliance requirements.StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson believes that such ZK privacy solutions are expected to make regulatory investigations more precise and reduce the collateral impact on a large number of wallets.
