According to official news, OKX, in collaboration with Elliptic, SlowMist, and OttoSec, has released the "Web3 Security and Risk Control Report for the First Half of 2026." The report points out that the focus of Web3 attacks is gradually shifting from smart contract code to more complex scenarios such as signature processes, user devices, operational infrastructure, and AI Agents.Data shows that in the first half of 2026, the OKX risk control system intercepted over 5.7 million high-risk transactions, including approximately 2.41 million transactions related to hacking and theft, about 1.48 million transactions related to phishing, and around 990,000 transactions related to fraud. The OKX Web3 on-chain intelligence label library currently has over 1 billion labels, covering more than 420 chains, and has integrated capabilities such as address screening, transaction monitoring, and sanction address control into infrastructures like DEX and Exchange OS.In addition, in terms of user protection, OKX has intercepted over 7 million visits to risky websites, completed over 200,000 device risk assessments, identified over 60,000 high-risk apps, and intercepted or alerted on over 4 million high-risk signature operations.

A report jointly released by the Bitcoin collateral lending platform CoinRabbit and the computing power platform GoMining points out that managing Bitcoin is more important than mining it. As the block reward drops to 3.125 BTC and the overall network difficulty approaches historical highs, low electricity prices and high uptime only constitute a survival baseline. What truly differentiates mining companies is the method of handling Bitcoin after it is mined.The report suggests that mining companies are shifting from direct sales to collateralized lending to cover recurring expenses such as electricity, custody, and labor. This approach retains exposure to holding Bitcoin while generating cash flow, avoids taxable sales, and preserves the deduction space for operating expenses. The trade-off is that mining companies simultaneously bear the dual risks of price and liquidation when Bitcoin prices decline.Jeremy Dreier, Chief Business Development Officer of GoMining, stated that the miners who can succeed after the halving are those who operate efficiently and have set aside cash in advance for this purpose. The current decline in Bitcoin prices has actually lowered the cost of increasing computing power, creating a window of opportunity for investing in expanding mining machines.

According to South Korean media outlet Chosun Ilbo, Morgan Stanley was not selected as the sole lead underwriter for SK Hynix's American Depositary Receipts (ADR) listing. The transaction size is approximately $26.5 billion (about 40 trillion Korean won), making it the largest IPO for foreign capital in the U.S. The commission, calculated at a 0.5% underwriting fee rate, is about $130 million. The final underwriting syndicate consists of Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase. Industry insiders generally believe that Morgan Stanley's exclusion is related to its repeated issuance of bearish reports on South Korean semiconductors.The report's author is Korean-American Managing Director Shawn Kim, who has repeatedly downgraded the stock ratings of memory stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron in research reports published in 2017, 2021, 2024, and on June 6 of this year, with the 2021 report titled "Memory, Winter is Coming." Additionally, Morgan Stanley has recently faced setbacks in South Korea: as a co-underwriter for the SpaceX IPO, Korea's Mirae Asset applied for $1.14 billion in subscriptions but received zero allocation; the sale of IGIS Asset Management, promoted in conjunction with Goldman Sachs, also ended in failure. Morgan Stanley's largest shareholder is Japan's Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group (MUFG), which holds approximately 24% of the shares.

According to the Bitwise "Q3 2026 Staking Report," Q2 2026 presents a divergent pattern of "increased on-chain activity and decreased fee revenue," with the core driving factor being various protocols actively reducing block space costs.In terms of core data across chains, Ethereum's active staking volume reached a historic high of 40.2 million ETH (accounting for 33% of the total supply), while network revenue decreased by 51% year-on-year to $64 million, although it rebounded in ETH terms quarter-on-quarter; Solana's Q2 Real Economic Value (REV) dropped to $51 million, significantly down from the peak of $812 million in Q1 2025, but non-voting transaction volume reached 9.8 billion, maintaining resilience in on-chain activity; Hyperliquid's Q2 total protocol revenue was $174.8 million, with perpetual contract trading volume reaching $65.2 billion, and the proportion of non-crypto assets (commodities, stock indices, etc.) rose to 32%; Avalanche C chain's transaction volume grew approximately fourfold year-on-year to 236 million transactions, but network revenue plummeted due to a significant drop in fees, leaving only $330,000; NEAR saw a dramatic 75% drop in on-chain transaction volume to 77.7 million transactions due to the collapse of Kai-Ching application activity, but the Intents execution layer generated fees approximately 68 times that of the base chain.In terms of institutional adoption, BlackRock launched an Ethereum staking ETF (ETHB), Coinbase and Circle each staked 500,000 HYPE, and Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale successively launched HYPE spot ETFs. Additionally, the stablecoin payment chain Tempo, incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, processed $386 million in transfers in its first quarter, while the global payroll platform Deel distributed approximately $30 million to 7,200 contractors through this chain.

According to the latest episode of the Gatecast podcast, Gate founder and CEO Dr. Han shared his thoughts on the future of AI, Web3, and the cryptocurrency industry in an interview themed "The Future of AI, Web3, and the Cryptocurrency Industry."Dr. Han stated that the way users will interact with cryptocurrency products will undergo profound changes due to AI in the future. Currently, the cryptocurrency market has millions of assets and tens of thousands of DApps, and the high cost of choice and usage barriers limit user entry. However, AI is expected to become an important gateway connecting users with the Web3 ecosystem. When discussing the combination of AI and trading, Dr. Han mentioned that AI can help users efficiently acquire information, analyze market signals, and assist in decision-making, but it still cannot completely replace human judgment. "AI + human intelligence" will become a more effective approach in the future.Dr. Han also pointed out that Gate is continuously utilizing AI to optimize product experiences, reducing users' learning costs through intelligent tools, and encouraging more users to enter the Web3 world. Currently, Gate is building an AI product system around the Intelligent Web3 strategy, which includes Gate AI, GateClaw, and Gate for AI Agent, accelerating the integration of AI technology into the trading ecosystem. In the future, Gate will further lower the barriers to using Web3 through intelligent products and services, enhance user experience, and drive more users into an open and intelligent Web3 world.

In a leaked internal conversation from the DeepSeek investor conference, DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng elaborated on his core views regarding the development of the domestic AI computing power industry and ecosystem. He stated that the current domestic AI chip replacement is facing a historic opportunity, with no compatibility barriers in hardware and ecosystem, and that NVIDIA cannot block the replacement process. The only current issue is insufficient production capacity, and it is expected that within a year, the market's perception of domestic chips as "unusable and poor-performing" can be reversed.He pointed out that NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem moat is rapidly collapsing, and multiple industry transformations combined with export controls have opened a development window for domestic AI chips. He revealed that DeepSeek has partnered with Huawei to obtain 16,000 950 cards to run the ecosystem, and Huawei's 950 super nodes can completely replace NVIDIA's GB200 and GB300 in terms of performance and price, showing an optimistic attitude towards the development of the domestic computing power industry.
