According to Decrypt, the cross-chain bridge protocol Allbridge has suspended its Core protocol due to a flash loan attack, with the attacker having stolen approximately $1.65 million in assets from the Solana stablecoin liquidity pool.According to analysis by blockchain security firms PeckShield and CertiK, the attacker borrowed $1.12 million in flash loan funds through the Solana lending protocol Kamino, and then manipulated the price mechanism within the Allbridge pool through multiple stablecoin exchange operations to exchange assets at a low price, subsequently transferring the funds across chains to an Ethereum address.During the attack, the attacker exchanged several thousand dollars in USDT to obtain approximately $2.24 million in USDC, and then bridged the funds to Ethereum for further dispersal. It is currently unclear whether some of the funds can still be recovered.Allbridge stated that the team has suspended the Core protocol for security reasons and has requested affected liquidity providers to withdraw their funds immediately. Due to the attack causing an imbalance in the liquidity pool, some traders profited from arbitrage opportunities. Allbridge has called on relevant users to return their profits, stating that the funds will be used to compensate affected LPs.The team indicated that there is no further risk to user funds at this time and will release a detailed incident analysis report after completing the investigation, while also planning to relaunch the Core protocol after removing the liquidity pool. This is the second time Allbridge has encountered a similar flash loan attack. In April 2023, the protocol's BNB Chain liquidity pool suffered a loss of approximately $573,000 due to a similar vulnerability, after which the project team stated that they had recovered most of the funds and adjusted the liquidity calculation mechanism.

The core project of the TRON ecosystem, JustLend DAO, has completed four consecutive rounds of efficient buyback and burn plans. Over 17% of the total supply of $JST has been permanently removed from circulation, marking a milestone in the deflationary process. All funds for this round were raised in compliance with the established mechanisms approved by the community and were fully transparent on-chain, with burn data verifiable at any time.As the cornerstone of the TRON DeFi ecosystem, JustLend DAO will continue to optimize the buyback and burn mechanism, advancing the continuous deflation of the token economic model as the market evolves, and building a more solid long-term value expectation for JST holders.

According to Digital Asset, officials from the Korean National Tax Service have proposed legislative suggestions, believing it is necessary to amend the Criminal Procedure Act to allow for the seizure of virtual assets held by individuals. Individual ownership of digital assets refers to the situation where the private key is directly held by the individual, without the need to entrust a third party for custody or disposal.In June of this year, four individuals, including Zhang Xiyuan, the head of the National Tax Service investigation team, published a paper titled "Limitations and Legislative Review of Self-Protecting Virtual Asset Seizure Execution" in the journal "Criminal Policy Research" of the Korean Institute of Criminology and Justice. The paper explains that separate regulations must be established for the requirements and procedures for transferring to a public wallet or obtaining control. The paper first points out that when a suspect or owner holds access means such as a private key, the search warrant must clearly specify the following: the type and quantity of digital assets to be seized; verified addresses; addresses to be transferred; methods of transfer; and storage methods after the transfer. Furthermore, due to the risks of theft associated with transferring assets to wallets managed by a single entity, the paper proposes a method for transferring to a joint address managed by both the court and investigative agencies.

According to market news, Goldman Sachs reported on July 18 that the Dark Side of the Moon released the Kimi K3 model, with 28 trillion parameters, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol on the Arena.ai programming leaderboard, reaching a new high for Chinese models with an API pricing of $2.3 per million tokens. Two days after the release, Zhiyu fell by 28%, MiniMax dropped by 16%, the Nasdaq 100 index futures fell by more than 1.8%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has cumulatively dropped by more than 18% from its peak.Goldman Sachs believes that Kimi K3 marks a turning point: a Chinese laboratory that cannot match the largest pre-trained computing power in the West has rapidly narrowed the gap with top American models through architectural innovation and reinforcement learning, proving that "scaling" is no longer the only winning path. Goldman Sachs warns that the "era of computing power expansion" may be coming to an end, and the investment logic for AI infrastructure built around "the more computing power, the better" needs to be rewritten. Goldman Sachs maintains a buy rating on MiniMax and a neutral rating on Zhiyu. Future attention will focus on the intensive release of 20-50 trillion parameter models such as Zhiyu GLM, Alibaba Qwen, and MiniMax M3 Pro.

According to official news, Kimi stated that in the past 48 hours, the demand for Kimi K3 has exceeded expectations, and GPU resources are nearing the current capacity limit. To ensure the experience of existing subscription users, the platform has temporarily suspended new subscriptions, and current subscribed users will not be affected. Kimi mentioned that it is working to expand computing power as soon as possible and will gradually open new subscription slots in batches.Meanwhile, the platform will split the membership system into two types of plans in the future: one for Kimi members on the Kimi web portal, App, and Work, and the other for Kimi Code members focused on programming workflows, to more accurately match computing resources and maintain service stability.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the Bitcoin bear market has lasted for about 9 months, affecting both short-term and long-term holders. The cost basis of short-term holders has fallen below that of long-term holders and has been confirmed for 3 days, triggering a "bear market nearing its end" signal. This indicator excludes BTC held for more than 7 years when calculating the cost basis of long-term holders to more accurately reflect the economically active long-term positions.Darkfost emphasized that this signal does not mean the bear market is immediately over, nor does it indicate that the market bottom has been established; rather, it suggests that the market may be entering the final phase of the bear market, during which adopting a dollar-cost averaging strategy may be more reasonable. He stated that if the cost basis of short-term holders subsequently breaks back above the cost basis of long-term holders, it can be seen as a confirmation signal for the beginning of a bull market phase and can serve as a reference for ending dollar-cost averaging. Currently, the cost basis of short-term holders has fallen from $112,500 to $69,000.

According to a report by The Defiant, data from Token Terminal shows that the on-chain trading activity of tokenized stocks and their use in lending and collateralization are both on the rise, but they still account for a small proportion of the overall DeFi market. Specifically, the on-chain spot DEX for tokenized stocks has reached a cumulative trading volume of $1.8 billion over the past 90 days, while the lending market has a deposit scale of approximately $23 million.In detail, on-chain trading volume is mainly concentrated on BNB Chain and Solana, accounting for 47.3% and 45.5% of the trading volume over the past 90 days, respectively; by asset classification, tokens tracking QQQ and SPY account for 40.5% and 40.4% of the total trading volume. In terms of lending collateral, xStocks accounts for 86.5% of the issuer's share, Solana accounts for 85.5% of the on-chain share, and Kamino accounts for 82.6% of the protocol share.The report also points out that compared to Uniswap's monthly trading volume of approximately $45 billion and xStocks' TVL of about $330 million, the current scale of tokenized stocks in terms of both trading and collateral usage is still at a low base.

JustLend DAO has completed the fourth $JST buyback and burn as planned. This round has cumulatively burned over 355 million tokens, corresponding to 3.59% of the total supply, with a market value exceeding 34.59 million USD.As of now, the cumulative burn progress of JST has reached 17.29% of the total supply, approaching the 20% mark. The funds come from the buyback of protocol revenue in the second quarter and the accumulation of historical stability fees from USDJ. With the implementation of this round of deflation, the market circulation of JST has further contracted, validating the long-term value logic driven by protocol revenue, and solidifying the foundation for the continued prosperity of the community ecosystem.

According to The Block, Bernstein pointed out in its latest research report that the perpetual contract structure originating from the cryptocurrency market has first entered the AI computing power market. The Architect AX exchange, registered in Bermuda and not regulated by the CFTC, has launched GPU computing power perpetual contracts, which are anchored to spot prices through funding rates, a mechanism that directly originates from the cryptocurrency market. The cash-settled computing power futures from CME and ICE are still awaiting CFTC review, with a launch expected by the end of 2026.In addition, the CFTC-regulated prediction market platform Kalshi has previously launched prediction contracts linked to GPU rental prices and introduced the computing power pricing curves for B200, H200, and A100 chips on July 14, with the B200 quoted at $5.41 and a historical peak of $7.39.Bernstein noted that unused GPU computing power cannot be stored, and hedging is the only way to bear price risk. However, the current market liquidity is still dominated by speculative funds, and the difficulty in constructing computing power benchmark indices is also a major bottleneck in market development.

JustLend DAO has successfully executed the fourth $JST token buyback and burn plan based on the community-approved burn plan proposal.This time, a total of 355,021,530.97 JST was burned, which includes 248,357,799 JST from the buyback and burn in the second quarter of 2026, as well as approximately 106,663,731.97 JST from the historical stability fee accumulation of USDJ.Thus, the JST deflationary mechanism continues to advance steadily, becoming a systematic project driven by real protocol revenue and executed transparently on-chain. This burn further reduces the circulating supply of JST in the market, reflecting the community's strong consensus on the long-term value of the token economic model and injecting stronger confidence into the sustainable development of the ecosystem.

According to the official announcement, Bitget has added 22 US stock tokens (rToken) that support weekend trading, including rMRNA (Moderna), rAMAT (Applied Materials), rORCL (Oracle), and other underlying assets. After this update, the number of stock tokens that the platform supports for weekend trading has increased to 61.During the US stock market's off-hours, the platform will generate weekend continuous trading prices based on Friday's closing price, market maker quotes, and market expectations. This feature supports limit orders and take-profit/stop-loss settings. To prevent abnormal fluctuations, the system has a protection limit of approximately ±20% for weekend limit orders.It is reported that the rTokens, identified by the letter r + stock code (for example, Nvidia is rNVDA), are issued by Reality, a licensed RWA protocol under Bitget, and are directly connected to global liquidity pools such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange through collaboration with the compliant broker Alpaca. Their features include: 1:1 reserves of underlying assets held by licensed custodians, stock dividends distributed in token form at a 1:1 ratio, corporate actions such as stock splits and consolidations mirrored in real-time, and positions that can serve as joint collateral for unified accounts and U-based contracts, allowing users to flexibly manage funds while holding global stock assets.
