The regulatory agency claimed that Bitkub subsequently replenished the stolen assets before October 31, 2021, but the daily net capital flow reports submitted from May 10 to October 30, 2021, did not accurately reflect the reduction in assets.Bitkub stated on the X platform that the case stems from disclosure decisions made after the cyber attack in May 2021 and is not an act of fraud.

Bitkub was established in 2018 and is one of Thailand's major cryptocurrency exchanges. Bitkub's parent company is considering a potential initial public offering, including the possibility of listing in Hong Kong.

Pendle co-founder TN and Head of Growth Dan reviewed the developments in the first half of 2026 during the latest community meeting and announced the roadmap for the second half of the year. The team stated that in the first half, Pendle's ecosystem focused on building fixed income infrastructure, with Pendle V2 continuing to solidify its position as an on-chain fixed income protocol, while Boros made initial progress in the on-chain interest rate derivatives market.Data shows that Pendle V2 had an average daily TVL of approximately $1.3 billion in the first half of the year, with 9 out of the 11 major markets on the platform adopting real-world assets (RWA) as collateral, reflecting that institutional funds are continuously flowing into the RWA sector. Additionally, Pendle has launched on the Monad network and within less than a month became one of the top five protocols by TVL on that network, with a locked amount of approximately $150 million. In terms of protocol upgrades, Pendle has completed the migration from vePENDLE to sPENDLE, with about 36% of PENDLE currently staked, of which 93% of stakers have not yet unstaked.

Another core product, Boros, has surpassed $14 billion in cumulative trading volume within less than a year since its launch, with the number of users increasing by 50% since the beginning of the year. It has also introduced four-legged arbitrage strategies, acceptance of block trades, and a funding rate data dashboard to meet professional trading needs. Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, Pendle will focus on advancing curation infrastructure, allowing external teams to create PT/YT markets, and promoting PT assets as collateral for lending protocols; at the same time, it will collaborate with partners like Morpho to launch Pendle-branded yield vaults, expanding distribution channels for fixed income products. In terms of institutional business, the team is working with several RWA issuers in New York, planning to introduce tokenized ETFs, single bonds, and other on-chain yield products to Pendle, creating a platform for institutional RWA yield discovery and distribution.
