According to GoPlus Security, a piece of malware named Infiniti Stealer is targeting Mac users' cryptocurrency wallets and sensitive credentials through a "ClickFix" social engineering attack method.The attackers forge a highly realistic Cloudflare CAPTCHA page to lure users into opening the terminal and manually pasting malicious commands. After executing the command, the script removes the macOS quarantine attribute and silently writes subsequent payloads to the /tmp directory. The final payload is a native macOS binary compiled with Nuitka, significantly increasing the difficulty of detection by security tools. Once deployed, Infiniti Stealer can steal Chromium / Firefox browser credentials, macOS Keychain, cryptocurrency wallets, and developer key files (such as .env files), and it has sandbox detection and delayed execution capabilities to evade tracking.

According to on-chain analyst @MorenoDV_ in a post on CryptoQuant, the long-term holders (LTH) of BTC are approaching a critical turning point in their adjusted net unrealized profit (NUPL), but the market bottom signal has not yet been triggered.Since the peak on October 6, 2025, LTH profitability has sharply compressed from 58% to 3% over 142 days, reflecting a significant deterioration in investor sentiment and holding structure. However, LTH-NUPL is currently still slightly above zero and has not entered the comprehensive liquidation range necessary for historically forming a market bottom.Analysts point out that true market bottoms in history have formed after LTH holdings have fully turned into losses. The current environment is closer to the late-cycle pressure phase rather than complete liquidation. It is recommended to focus on signals where LTH-NUPL continues to fall below zero, accompanied by long-term compression of price and volatility, as this condition has historically been highly correlated with asymmetric entry opportunities.

According to Forbes, Plume's legal advisor B. Salman Banaei testified before Congress, strongly urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to expedite the development of tokenization rules while advancing the full ATS (Alternative Trading System) registration for DeFi protocols, rather than relying solely on "innovation exemptions."Banaei criticized the SEC for "putting all its eggs in one basket with innovation exemptions," calling this approach "foolish," and warned that setting volume and product limitations would fail to attract large institutions, "because they will not invest resources in an infrastructure that may not exist in two or three years." He also suggested that the SEC seek feedback on the current incompatibilities in the rules and develop permanent solutions.Plume was approved by the SEC in October 2025 to become a registered transfer agent, capable of handling shareholder records, transfers, and dividends for on-chain tokenized securities, and is currently awaiting a FINRA broker-dealer license. Banaei pointed out that there are only 10 months left in the current SEC leadership window, and action must be taken quickly to promote the development of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

According to GMGN data, the Meme coin WhiteWhale on the Solana chain has plummeted by about 50%, with a current market value of $12 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $5.4 million.The well-known trader The White Whale announced that he is officially stepping down from his leadership role in WhiteWhale and has permanently locked 500 million WhiteWhale tokens in one go today, valued at about $13 million at the time of locking. The main reason for his departure is a family crisis, coupled with the community's ongoing demands to "do more to pump the price," which has left him feeling exhausted and gradually losing enthusiasm for cryptocurrency. This Meme coin was initially created by fans using the well-known trader The White Whale's avatar on X and Hyperliquid, and was later taken over by The White Whale, who aggressively accumulated it.ChainCatcher reminds users that trading Meme coins is highly volatile, largely dependent on market sentiment and speculative hype, and has no actual value or use case, so investors should be aware of the risks.

According to a security alert released by GoPlus Security, Silverfort security researchers discovered a serious vulnerability in OpenClaw's skill repository ClawHub. Attackers can bypass all protective mechanisms by calling the internal function downloads:increment, allowing them to inflate the download count to over 20,000 in just a few minutes with a single curl request, thereby pushing malicious skills to the top of search rankings and enticing users or AI Agents to install them automatically.Once the malicious skill is running, it can steal sensitive data such as cryptocurrency wallets and API keys. The vulnerability has been patched within 24 hours. GoPlus advises users that a high download count does not equal safety and recommends using AgentGuard for security scanning and protection.

According to the official blog, Plume Network's General Counsel Salman Banaei stated at a hearing held by the U.S. House Financial Services Committee that tokenized securities should not be viewed as a completely new asset class, nor should new rules or exemptions be created for them.He argued that regulation should be driven by the economic nature and risks of financial products, rather than the technology used, and thus should incorporate new technological realities into the existing regulatory framework through targeted amendments to current regulations.Salman pointed out that utilizing public blockchains and on-chain compliance tools (such as Plume's built-in protocol-level anti-money laundering screening) can significantly enhance market transparency, reduce costs, and decrease reliance on intermediaries while maintaining or even exceeding existing regulatory standards.Finally, Salman issued a warning: the competition for global tokenized infrastructure is accelerating, with regions like Hong Kong, Singapore, and the UAE actively positioning themselves. If the U.S. falls behind in regulation due to policy uncertainty, it risks losing its leadership position in the digital transformation of global capital markets, allowing this strategic opportunity to shift to foreign competitors with different geopolitical objectives.
