Recently, there has been a significant price deviation of fiat currency-pegged stablecoins in South Korean virtual asset exchanges. The Japanese yen stablecoin JPYC surged to four times its benchmark price after its listing, the euro stablecoin EURC skyrocketed over 400% in a single day on Bithumb, and the US dollar stablecoin PYUSD also showed a noticeable premium.Analysis suggests that the aforementioned fluctuations are due to insufficient circulation in the early listing phase combined with concentrated buying, unrelated to the issuer's asset preparation. Industry experts point out that relying solely on reserves cannot prevent price distortions in the secondary market, calling for the establishment of initial circulation guarantees, market maker (MM) and liquidity provider (LP) mechanisms during the design phase of the original Korean won stablecoin system, as well as the introduction of measures such as public disclosure of price deviation rates and restrictions on market orders.

Slow Fog's Yuxian stated on platform X that the Bitget theft incident has a wide spread, involves a huge amount of money, and the related funds were quickly linked to North Korean hackers. Institutions such as Circle and Tether have promptly assisted in freezing the related funds, with Circle freezing the USDC held by the hackers.Regarding THORChain, Yuxian pointed out that when THORChain previously experienced a theft incident, it also quickly intervened in its so-called "decentralized" platform; however, in response to this major security incident in the industry, it claimed "decentralization and non-interference" and compared itself to Bitcoin and Ethereum, while continuing to earn fees from the hackers' large cross-chain transactions.He stated that decentralization should not just be a slogan; after a major security incident occurs, the key is to distinguish which issues need to be collectively addressed by the industry. He also believes that platforms like THORChain should not be easily compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum, as there are significant differences in the degree of decentralization and mechanisms of different systems.

He introduced that CoinEx has implemented an MPC-based dual-signature scheme for its hot wallet to eliminate single points of failure.Yang Haibo mentioned that the relevant infrastructure is split into business systems and wallet systems, operated by completely independent teams, each holding one private key.

The team spent over a year transforming the vast majority of nearly 300 chains supported by CoinEx one by one.

The first three portfolio tokens are constructed based on BlackRock's customized portfolio strategies for Ondo, allowing qualified investors in eligible jurisdictions outside the United States to gain relevant economic exposure through a single token.Traditionally, diversified, professionally constructed investment strategies typically required access through brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures.
