U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis released an updated draft of the CLARITY Act, which aims to require digital commodity exchanges, brokers, and dealers to segregate customer assets and prohibit the use of customer funds and assets as the platform's own property.The draft also aims to classify digital commodities held by the platform on behalf of customers as "customer property" in bankruptcy liquidation proceedings, reducing the risk of users being classified as general unsecured creditors.

According to official news, OKX, in collaboration with Elliptic, SlowMist, and OttoSec, has released the "Web3 Security and Risk Control Report for the First Half of 2026." The report points out that the focus of Web3 attacks is gradually shifting from smart contract code to more complex scenarios such as signature processes, user devices, operational infrastructure, and AI Agents.Data shows that in the first half of 2026, the OKX risk control system intercepted over 5.7 million high-risk transactions, including approximately 2.41 million transactions related to hacking and theft, about 1.48 million transactions related to phishing, and around 990,000 transactions related to fraud. The OKX Web3 on-chain intelligence label library currently has over 1 billion labels, covering more than 420 chains, and has integrated capabilities such as address screening, transaction monitoring, and sanction address control into infrastructures like DEX and Exchange OS.In addition, in terms of user protection, OKX has intercepted over 7 million visits to risky websites, completed over 200,000 device risk assessments, identified over 60,000 high-risk apps, and intercepted or alerted on over 4 million high-risk signature operations. The report also introduces the "risk control pre-positioning" design in scenarios such as Exchange OS, Outcomes, RWA, and Agentic Wallet.

According to Jinshi reports, World Bank Chief Economist Gill stated that the global economy is only "a few months" away from the worst-case scenario, at which point global growth will slow to 1.3%, and inflation is expected to rise to 4.5%.

According to Gate Ventures' latest weekly report, influenced by the escalation of geopolitical risks and changes in the AI competitive landscape, all three major U.S. stock indices fell last week, energy prices rose significantly, and the trends of safe-haven assets like gold and U.S. Treasuries diverged. The cryptocurrency market continued its structural trend, with Bitcoin and Ethereum rising by 1.5% and 3.6%, respectively, while both spot BTC and ETH ETFs maintained net inflows.In terms of industry development, regulation and real-world applications continued to be the focus this week. Japanese convenience store giant Lawson, in collaboration with Netstars, is advancing a stablecoin payment pilot, further promoting the use of stablecoins in everyday consumption scenarios; South Korea plans to officially incorporate digital assets into its national asset management framework and explore the tokenization of government bonds and state-owned assets, with the construction of RWA infrastructure continuing to accelerate. In Europe, after the transition period of MiCA ended, the total number of licensed institutions increased to 294, although the number of new licenses has slowed down, institutional participation remains strong.In terms of investment and financing, the cryptocurrency industry recorded a total of 16 financing events last week, highly concentrated in the infrastructure sector: among them, Alpaca completed a $135 million financing to enhance tokenized securities and AI financial infrastructure; Flex completed a $70 million financing to further expand its stablecoin cross-border payment network, continuously confirming the capital market's long-term optimism towards digital financial infrastructure. Gate Ventures believes that as the global regulatory framework gradually improves and the integration of traditional finance and blockchain deepens, the digital asset ecosystem is expected to enter a more mature and diverse development stage.

OneKey founder Wang Yishi (@ohyishi) posted on the X platform to remind that, in addition to screenshots possibly being recorded, third-party input methods may also continuously read the user's clipboard content. These actions could lead to the leakage of sensitive information such as mnemonic phrases.Several netizens subsequently commented that after opening Pinduoduo without saving images or only copying relevant content, the platform's recommendation page displayed product information highly related to the previous screen content or clipboard content, raising doubts about the app's behavior of reading the screen or clipboard.However, the related claims currently mainly come from user tests and feedback on social platforms, and there has not yet been an official public response from Pinduoduo.

Glassnode Chief Research Analyst CryptoVizArt stated that the cost basis distribution heatmap for short-term holders shows that during Bitcoin's rebound from $57,000, a new round of chips transferred to new buyers occurred in the $62,000 to $65,000 range.He believes this structure has two sides. On one hand, buyers are actively accumulating during the upward process, which may form a new cost basis support, providing conditions for Bitcoin to further test levels of $66,000 and above. On the other hand, this round of chip accumulation is more concentrated at the tail end of a local rebound. If Bitcoin cannot effectively break through $66,000, the risk of the market forming a phase top will increase. $66,000 is a key short-term position for judging the above two scenarios.

The founder of Slow Fog, Yu Xian, retweeted a tweet on the X platform regarding the potential poisoning attack risks of Claude Code and published an analysis of the poisoning attack details targeting Grok Build CLI and Claude Code CLI.It pointed out that the security mechanisms of Grok Build CLI are not unified, with different code paths having different trust assumptions, creating gaps that serve as channels for attackers. Attackers may execute arbitrary commands through malicious project configuration files without the user's knowledge, thereby stealing API keys, cloud credentials, or controlling local devices.Researchers constructed a testing environment and found that on Mac systems, if Claude Code is affected, executing specific test commands can trigger the local calculator to launch, proving the existence of potential command execution risks.If the attack is successful, attackers may further steal API keys from AI services like Claude and OpenAI, resulting in account cost losses, gain access to servers and data by obtaining cloud service credentials from AWS, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, modify code repositories to implant backdoors, and use local devices as jump points to attack corporate internal networks. It is reported that the related vulnerabilities have existed for a year.

According to Gate's market data, on Friday, the three major U.S. stock indexes opened lower, with technology stocks declining across the board. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell more than 20% from its historical closing high, likely confirming entry into a bear market.SK Hynix's ADR fell below the issuance price of $149 for the first time, and SpaceX's stock price dropped 38% from its peak, with a market value evaporating by about $1 trillion. AMD fell over 7%, Intel dropped over 6%, and TSMC declined over 5%. Analysts pointed out that the continued pullback in chip stocks is influenced by a shift in funding styles and a change in market preferences, while Federal Reserve Chairman Waller's dissatisfaction with inflation has increased market expectations for interest rate hikes.

According to Jinshi reports, gold prices have fallen below $4,000 per ounce and are expected to record a weekly decline of over 3%. The escalating hostilities between the United States and Iran have heightened market concerns, with rising energy prices potentially keeping inflation elevated and prompting the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates.Soojin Kim, an analyst at Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, stated that recent price trends indicate that the market is placing greater emphasis on the possibility that U.S. interest rates will remain high for a longer period, rather than the traditional safe-haven demand for gold.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve's Logan stated that the downside risks to employment have diminished, while inflation risks are mainly focused on the upside.

According to Bitcoin Magazine, a report from NYDIG shows that Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30% this year, performing the worst among various assets, lagging behind U.S. Treasury bonds, silver, and the Swiss franc. The report points out that the current slump is due to supply mechanisms rather than risk sentiment, and the timing and structure of the pullback in 2025-2026 are increasingly resembling the adjustment years of 2014, 2018, and 2022. If the 2022 model is fully replicated, the cycle low could be around $38,000-$39,000.However, Bitcoin experienced its lowest volatility year on record in 2025, and some analysts believe this year's pullback may be shallower than in previous bear markets. In Q2 2026, the rolling correlation between Bitcoin and gold increased, with both assets facing sell-offs, and the "devaluation trade" losing momentum. Bitwise stated last week that despite Bitcoin being in the deepest and longest slump since the last bear market, the fundamentals have laid the groundwork for a rapid recovery. NYDIG referred to the CLARITY Act as "the most important forward-looking catalyst for the digital asset industry."

Ripple's Co-Head of Global Public Policy and Government Affairs, Lauren Belive, stated that opposing the CLARITY Act is not against the crypto industry, but rather against consumers, as it will leave crypto holders exposed to bad actors exploiting regulatory arbitrage. Belive noted that the U.S. digital asset market already exists, but federal rules to protect consumers have not kept pace. She pointed out that the regulatory gap that led to the FTX collapse and customer fund losses still exists.Belive stated that the CLARITY Act would grant the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) clear joint jurisdiction over the digital asset market and require tokens to undergo regulatory oversight before entering the market. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer and President of the National Cryptocurrency Association, Stuart Alderoty, stated that opposing the CLARITY Act would allow the current unregulated status to continue, which would be exploited by bad actors.

The chairman of AMLA pointed out that the large-scale migration of users after the transition period of MiCA may bring compliance pressure to EU crypto service providers, and AMLA will strengthen regulatory coordination.

According to Jinshi reports, Federal Reserve Governor Cook stated that there is reason to believe that inflation will continue to cool, but tariffs, conflicts in the Middle East, and investments in artificial intelligence may lead to sustained price pressures, and there are still related risks.

According to Jinshi, renowned economist Nouriel Roubini warned that inflation remains the biggest risk facing the market. Factors driving inflation include geopolitical tensions, de-globalization, and increased government spending. He stated that if the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) reaches 5% - 6%, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond could be "close to" 8%, which would be the highest level since 1994, a significant increase from the current level of about 4.58%.
