Slow Fog released a threat intelligence report stating that they recently received user feedback about a GitHub repository named sol-live, which disguises itself as a Solidity interview practice project. However, it hides commands in the .vscode/settings.json file to download and execute remote scripts, which may trigger malicious payloads when users start the project with custom terminal configurations.Slow Fog's analysis shows that the related malicious payloads can collect browser login databases, wallet extension storage, and macOS Keychain files. They also have the capability to scan and upload local files, execute remote commands, provide interactive Shell access, and monitor the clipboard. In macOS and Linux environments, the malicious terminal configuration must be actively initiated by the user to execute; the attack chain on Windows has not been confirmed due to issues with quote handling.

Digital Asset co-founder and CEO Yuval Rooz stated at the Token2049 conference in Singapore that the crypto industry should leverage the current regulatory environment to accelerate institutional adoption, believing that the widespread use of blockchain will make it harder for future governments to reverse industry progress. He compared this opportunity to Uber and Airbnb, stating that both companies had established themselves before policymakers effectively restricted them, saying, "By the time people react and decide to legislate against these companies, it will be too late."Rooz indicated that the industry should ensure blockchain is widely used so that no matter what happens in 2028, "there is no turning back." The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for November 7, 2028, which may bring changes in government and regulatory priorities. This statement comes in the context of the CLARITY Act failing to advance in the Senate procedural vote in September, while the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have been advancing crypto regulation based on existing authority.In the same Token2049 panel discussion, Binance co-CEO Richard Teng expressed hope that the CLARITY Act could still become law, believing that legislation could prevent regulatory backtracking and encourage institutional entry, calling the possibility of reversing current progress the industry's "greatest fear." Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson stated that legislation would provide greater certainty, but the industry should not rely on the passage of the CLARITY Act, as the SEC and CFTC are already working to provide regulatory clarity to sustain innovation and institutional adoption.

Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi commented on the controversy surrounding the Zcash development fund, stating that the Zcash community has positioned itself as "the crypto version of Bitcoin" and has refused to continue adding more features to the protocol. To become a reliable store of value, Zcash ultimately needs to achieve protocol finality, but it still needs to advance Tachyon, quantum resistance, and comprehensive formal verification required to address AI network attacks, making it unsuitable for finality in the next one to two years.The development fund has played a necessary role during the phase of lacking private funding to support Zcash development, and under current rules, it will expire in 2028. However, as the price of ZEC has surged significantly, the scale of the fund has expanded by an order of magnitude; once the fund exceeds 100 million dollars, it will inevitably move towards institutionalization and face the risk of the allocation mechanism being politicized.He advocates for the continued retention of the development fund at this stage to complete the remaining technical work before protocol finality, but this round should be the last round of the development fund. Once Zcash meets the conditions for finality, the fund should gradually wind down rather than continue seeking new funding projects; future development needs can be spontaneously funded by holders and ecosystem supporters, similar to Bitcoin.In terms of governance, Haseeb does not support voting solely by token holders, believing that a store of value asset requires policy predictability, and pure token governance is too volatile. He supports limited participation by holders and believes that committee governance, while flawed, may be a more feasible solution. Haseeb also disclosed that Dragonfly holds ZEC and that he himself is a ZODL investor, but ZODL will not directly benefit from the development fund.

Garrett Jin stated in the latest weekly report that Bitcoin failed to break through the key resistance of $82,500 after reaching a high of $82,300 last week, and has returned to the consolidation range, indicating that the current consolidation is not yet over, and the market may not have completed half of the entire adjustment process.In the short term, spot demand has weakened, and supply remains heavy above $82,000. The risk-reward ratio for chasing prices higher or shorting on a pullback within the current range is poor.

"1011 Insider Whale" agent Garrett Jin stated that the long-term consolidation period has just begun, and in order to rise, we need more Bitcoin to trade within the current price range.

Cryptocurrency trader Garrett (@garrettbullish) stated that if the market further consolidates at the beginning of the week while Bitcoin's dominance continues to rise, he will be more bullish.

Jiang Zhuoer released a historical cycle comparison chart of Bitcoin on platform X, stating that if the low point of this cycle is around $57,800, based on historical cycle trends, the current market adjustment in terms of magnitude and duration is already quite close to the previous three cycles, and a large number of investors may currently be in a "missed out" state.Jiang Zhuoer mentioned that as the market continues to consolidate and fluctuate, the anxiety of investors missing out on the market (FOMO) may gradually intensify. Once capital flows back in, the space for further market decline may be limited. He believes that the subsequent trend may reference the "golden pit" in the market at the end of 2021, at which point a brief buying opportunity during a pullback may arise.
