ARK Investment Management has submitted a waiver application to the U.S. SEC, seeking to issue tokenized share classes for its venture capital fund, ARK Venture Fund. The SEC issued a related notice on August 24 and set September 18 as the deadline for hearing requests. The fund is a continuously offered closed-end interval fund, with total assets of $562 million as of January 31.The application proposes to establish two categories: the exchange category will be listed on national securities exchanges, while the tokenized category will record ownership through distributed ledger technology, allowing for peer-to-peer transfers between registered alternative trading systems or whitelisted wallets. Tokenized shares will be issued at net asset value, exempt from sales fees, distributed by registered brokers or fund transfer agents, and will bear the costs of trading fees and other expenses. ARK seeks relief under Sections 6(c), 18, and 17(d) of the Investment Company Act and Rules 23c-3 and 17d-1, with Dechert serving as legal counsel.The application does not specify a tokenization service provider or blockchain, only listing the categories of "tokenization agent" and "fund transfer agent" fees. Currently, BNY Mellon serves as the fund transfer agent, manager, and custodian. The ARK Venture Fund holds equity in Securitize and $10 million in convertible notes; Securitize is the transfer agent for the BlackRock BUIDL Fund. The SEC has not yet formally approved the industry's anticipated tokenization "innovation waiver" framework, and relevant rules are still being advanced.

Cronos confirmed in a post-mortem report that the attack on the lending platform Tectonic on August 30 involved $120.4 million in borrowing activities. The validators made the "difficult decision" to roll back the on-chain history, successfully recovering approximately $111.2 million (about 92% of the affected funds), while about $9.19 million flowed out before the network was paused and could not be recovered. The attacker leveraged weak DEX liquidity to inflate the price of Tectonic token TONIC by about 100 times within minutes and borrowed $120.4 million through a single transaction across nine markets. The validators paused the network about two hours later, restoring the chain to the last block before the suspicious activity, with block production resuming approximately 11 hours after the attack. The rollback involved reversing 1 hour and 54 minutes of on-chain history, totaling 10,961 blocks, with all transactions within that window being canceled, regardless of whether they were involved in the attack. Cronos stated that the alternative would have been to restart the network without restoring the previous state, which would have left the stolen assets in the hands of the attacker. This rollback closely followed Harmony's announcement of a similar plan, while Flow abandoned its rollback proposal last December due to community opposition. The validator cap for Cronos is 100, which facilitated quick coordination for the pause and restart, but also indicated that the network's finality in emergencies depends on validator consensus.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) tracked and seized over $560,000 in cryptocurrency originally intended for Hamas by combining blockchain analysis, human intelligence, and court orders. The investigation involved shared wallets, cross-chain bridges, exchanges, and stablecoin accounts. Three seizure operations occurred in March, June, and October 2025.Investigators found that multiple donation addresses associated with Hamas's military wing, Al Qassam Brigades, used the same Gas wallet to pay transaction fees, and visualized funds flowing from donation wallets to operational wallets and related infrastructure through Reactor. In the June 2025 case, funds circulated through new addresses, accounts, over-the-counter brokers, and suspected money mule accounts; in October, the network switched to one-time donation wallets and cross-chain bridges. Court orders required Tether to destroy USDT from specified addresses and to reissue equivalent assets to law enforcement wallets, while Binance was instructed to transfer the balances of three accounts.

Galaxy Research published that the attackers in the Coldcard "Wave 3" attack are still continuously transferring the stolen funds. During this phase, the attackers created 293 2-of-2 multi-signature wallets for each victim's assets. The first batch of funds was transferred across chains to Ethereum via THORChain; the latest round of transfers has begun entering the CoinJoin mixing process.Currently, the Wave 3 attackers are processing the largest amounts of stolen funds in order of the stolen amount, having sequentially transferred the funds from wallets ranked 1 to 11. The next 10 wallets that have not yet been transferred hold a total of 30.81 BTC, while wallets ranked 61 to 293 hold a total of 33.77 BTC. So far, the attackers have transferred about 45% of the stolen assets from this exploit, with funds flowing to Ethereum (via THORChain) or entering CoinJoin mixing transactions. Additionally, this fund transfer has revealed a previously unknown wallet: 58 addresses jointly spent in a 2-of-2 multi-signature format identical to that of Wave 3, and these were further transferred by the Wave 3 attackers to a jump address that funds CoinJoin.The on-chain analysis team currently marks this wallet as "cause = open," but believes it likely also belongs to Coldcard victims, which means the number of wallets involved in Wave 3 may increase to 294, raising the previously reported total amount stolen from the Coldcard vulnerability to approximately 1806 BTC. Currently, about 82% of the stolen BTC remains in addresses initially controlled by the attackers, while about 18% has been transferred, with the flow of funds indicating that it may be undergoing laundering processes.
