The Chief Information Security Officer of Slow Fog, 23pds, posted on the X platform that curl recently fixed 18 security vulnerabilities, involving issues such as authentication bypass, memory safety, and host verification, among which one libcurl vulnerability has existed for about 25 years. The risks are not limited to the curl command line but also widely affect applications, SDKs, containers, firmware, gateways, and CI/CD environments that rely on libcurl. It is recommended to upgrade curl/libcurl as soon as possible and check for the use of old versions of libcurl, especially paying attention to mTLS, proxy authentication, and connection reuse scenarios.

The cross-chain protocol Axelar Network released a statement regarding the recent security incident related to Secret Network, stating that there is a misunderstanding within the community about the event. Both Axelar and the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) were not attacked or compromised. The affected token smart contracts were neither developed, deployed, nor maintained by Axelar, and Axelar's firewall mechanism also prevented the impact from spreading to other chains.It is reported that the exploited contract is a forked version based on CW20-ICS20, but the developers removed two core security checks, resulting in an "infinite minting" vulnerability. By deleting the verification mechanisms originally used to prevent such issues, this fork altered the original trust model of the contract and did not undergo a new security audit.Axelar Network explained that anyone can deploy contracts for cross-chain asset wrapping through IBC, and similar contracts have also been used to wrap tokens from other chains into Secret Network. However, the Secret side fork version in this incident has vulnerabilities due to the removal of key security checks. This incident is not a unique logical flaw, nor is it an issue with the IBC protocol itself, but rather a security risk introduced by modifications to third-party contracts.

According to Jinshi reports, HSBC analysts pointed out in a report that the current exchange rate of the dollar is below the level implied by the market's expectations for U.S. interest rates. As recent market expectations have shifted from rate cuts to potential rate hikes, the dollar's response has been relatively limited. They believe this may reflect the loose financial environment in the U.S. and the market's expectations for a resolution to the Middle East conflict. If the Federal Reserve fails to support rate hike expectations in next week's meeting, the dollar "may be in trouble."

AI Smart Routing and Infrastructure Network DGrid AI officially announces the launch of its AI inference API integrated with the x402 payment protocol. This API seamlessly merges payment logic with AI model invocation for the first time, allowing developers and AI Agents to complete authorization, inference, and payment within a single API request lifecycle without managing cumbersome API Keys or requiring centralized account pre-funding.It is reported that this API currently supports BNB Chain (BSC) as the underlying settlement network. With the micropayment features of the x402 protocol, the system can achieve extremely low-friction on-chain real-time settlement while ensuring that invocation costs remain absolutely controllable. Additionally, this API supports streaming responses and real-time usage feedback while being compatible with mainstream AI invocation methods, making it suitable for various application scenarios, including model selection for AI Agents, inference billing, intelligent agents, and multi-task execution.DGrid states that this initiative aims to completely break the prepaid barriers of traditional large model invocation and provide a programmable underlying payment infrastructure for building a fully automated AI Agent economy (machine-to-machine transactions).

According to Jinshi Data, Christopher Wong, a strategist at OCBC Bank in Singapore, stated that as people expect the Middle East conflict to ease and the strength of the dollar has weakened, the safe-haven demand for gold has begun to re-emerge. This further proves that gold has not lost its appeal as a safe-haven asset. It was once pushed out of the market by the dollar, and now that pressure is easing.In the short term, gold prices may continue to be influenced by expectations of the Federal Reserve's policy path, the movement of the dollar, and changes in the geopolitical situation. However, this rebound indicates that price declines may still find support unless real yields rise significantly.
