On the evening of June 22, the U.S. Senate passed the "21st Century Housing Road Act" with an overwhelming vote of 85-5. The bill has now been sent to the House of Representatives, where it is expected to pass quickly and be signed into law by President Trump. The central bank digital currency (CBDC) ban has become a key additional clause in the bill, which will prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing central bank digital currencies (CBDC) or any substantially similar digital assets before the end of 2030, even if issued indirectly through financial institutions. The bill also explicitly exempts private stablecoins (such as USDC, USDT).

According to The Block, leaders of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives jointly released an updated version of the "21st Century Housing Road Act," confirming that the two chambers have reached a bipartisan agreement. The core content of the bill focuses on housing affordability reform, including expanding housing supply and limiting market monopolies by corporate landlords. Notably, an additional clause in the bill explicitly prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing or creating CBDCs and any "substantially similar" digital assets before December 31, 2030, a clause driven by House Republicans. The Trump administration has consistently held this position, with Treasury Secretary Mnuchin previously stating that CBDCs are "not under consideration." The bill will first undergo procedural voting in the Senate and is expected to be submitted to the House for review after Congress reconvenes, and then sent to the President for signing.

Humanity released an independent investigation report by Quantstamp, which disclosed that in the H token security incident, the attacker used tools and methods characteristic of North Korean hackers, disguising themselves as communication from the Bithumb exchange through phishing emails, inducing project directors to click on malicious attachments, thereby deploying a remote control Trojan on their devices, ultimately gaining full desktop control and wallet private keys. Subsequently, on Ethereum and BNB Chain, they launched on-chain attacks: on the Ethereum side, by stealing keys to upgrade contracts and transferring approximately 141.18 million H tokens, and on the BSC side, by taking over the ProxyAdmin contract and minting new tokens. The stolen assets were then continuously sold on Uniswap and PancakeSwap for about 8 hours, causing significant impact on liquidity and market prices.Currently, the H token contract on the Ethereum side has been frozen, the mainnet bridge remains unaffected, but the BSC deployment has been controlled by the attacker and still has minting permissions. The team is working with exchanges and security parties to advance subsequent disposal and recovery plans, while reminding users to be wary of false "compensation/claim" links, and stated that further progress will be announced through official channels.Previously, the Humanity Protocol was attacked, resulting in the leak of a private key from a member of the Humanity Foundation, leading to over 31 million dollars in funds being stolen.

According to CCTV News, the Office of the Foreign Investment Security Review Mechanism has legally made a decision to prohibit the foreign acquisition of the Manus project, requiring the parties involved to withdraw the acquisition transaction. Manus was initially developed by the Chinese company Butterfly Effect and became an overnight sensation after its release in March 2025. In June of the same year, it moved its headquarters to Singapore and ceased domestic operations, and in December 2025, it was announced by the American company Meta that it would acquire it for approximately $2 billion.Zhou Mi, a researcher at the Ministry of Commerce's Academy, stated that Manus moved the project to Singapore through funding and corporate transfer before selling it to an American company, which raises suspicions of intentionally evading regulation. If such practices are not controlled, more companies will follow suit, harming national development interests and security.Zhou Mi emphasized that China has consistently maintained an open attitude towards foreign investment but takes a cautious stance on sensitive investments involving key technologies and data security, stating that "evading regulation in a malicious manner will ultimately not achieve the intended purpose."
