The cybersecurity agency Moonlock Lab reports that crypto hackers have recently upgraded their "ClickFix" attack method, beginning to impersonate venture capital firms to contact target users through social platforms and lure them into executing malicious code to steal crypto assets.Attackers disguise themselves as fake venture capital firms such as SolidBit, MegaBit, and Lumax Capital, sending collaboration invitations via LinkedIn and guiding victims to fake Zoom or Google Meet meeting links. The pages embed a fake Cloudflare "I am not a robot" verification button, which, when clicked, copies malicious commands to the clipboard and tricks users into pasting and executing them in the terminal, thus completing the attack. Researchers point out that this method circumvents traditional security mechanisms by "making victims execute commands themselves."Meanwhile, hackers are also hijacking browser extensions to carry out attacks. John Tuckner, founder of cybersecurity company Annex Security, revealed that the Chrome extension QuickLens, after changing ownership on February 1, released a new version containing malicious scripts two weeks later, triggering ClickFix attacks and stealing user data. The extension had about 7,000 users and has since been removed from the store. Reports indicate that the hijacked extension scans crypto wallet data and mnemonic phrases, and scrapes Gmail content, YouTube channel data, and web login or payment information.

According to Cointelegraph, hackers are using the "ClickFix" attack method to steal cryptocurrencies, with the latest two attacks involving impersonating venture capital firms and hijacking browser extensions.Cybersecurity company Moonlock Lab reports that scammers impersonate fake VCs such as SolidBit, MegaBit, and Lumax Capital, contacting users via LinkedIn to offer collaboration opportunities, then directing them to click on fake Zoom and Google Meet links. After clicking the link, users are led to a page with a forged Cloudflare "I'm not a robot" verification box; clicking this box copies malicious commands to the clipboard and prompts users to open a terminal to paste the so-called verification code, thus executing the attack.Moonlock Lab points out that this method turns victims into execution mechanisms, bypassing defenses in the security industry. Meanwhile, hackers are also spreading malware by hijacking the Chrome extension QuickLens. This extension allows users to run Google Lens searches directly in the browser, and after ownership was transferred, the new version contains malicious scripts that can initiate ClickFix attacks and steal information.The extension has about 7,000 users, and once hijacked, it searches for cryptocurrency wallet data and recovery phrases to steal funds, as well as scraping Gmail inbox content, YouTube channel data, and login credentials or payment information entered in web forms. The extension has been removed from the Chrome Web Store. The ClickFix technique has been popular among hackers since last year, forcing victims to manually execute malicious payloads, affecting thousands of businesses and multiple industries worldwide.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post proposing several ideas for optimizing democracy and decentralized governance using AI and personal LLMs (large language models). He believes that "AI directly as government" is dystopian, but mechanisms such as personal governance agents, public participation dialogue agents, and AI-enhanced suggestion/prediction markets can alleviate the issues of insufficient human attention and expertise in governance like DAOs. Vitalik also suggested introducing technologies such as multi-party secure computation, TEE, or encrypted circuits in decentralized decision-making scenarios involving sensitive information, allowing personal LLMs to participate in judgments within a "black box," while emphasizing the need to use zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party privacy computing tools to enhance participant anonymity and content privacy protection.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform responding to "why Wall Street always misunderstands or underestimates Coinbase." He stated that there is a clear trend of differentiation among traditional financial institutions regarding the crypto industry, with some leading financial institutions actively embracing crypto assets. Currently, five globally systemically important banks (GSIBs) have begun collaborating with Coinbase, while about half of large financial institutions are accelerating their involvement in crypto business and hiring related talent.As regulatory clarity gradually improves, the acceptance of the crypto industry by traditional finance continues to rise. However, at the same time, some institutions remain cautious or even resistant. These institutions have long built their career paths on the traditional financial system, and therefore are naturally skeptical of the structural disruptions brought by crypto. Similar to how the taxi industry faced Uber, the hotel industry faced Airbnb, and the aerospace industry faced SpaceX, cryptocurrencies are directly disrupting Wall Street, so it is not surprising that some people on Wall Street misunderstand cryptocurrencies/Coinbase.Additionally, Brian Armstrong revealed Coinbase's performance data, including a 156% year-over-year increase in total trading volume by 2025 and a doubling of market share, a threefold growth in the scale of assets under custody on the platform over three years, and currently 12 products with annualized revenue exceeding $100 million. Investors should focus on the company's long-term execution capabilities and business performance records, rather than solely relying on analyst model predictions. Furthermore, since GAAP net profit includes unrealized gains and losses from the company's held crypto assets, adjusted net profit better reflects the true operational status.

According to GMGN monitoring, the market capitalization of the Meme coin WhiteWhale on the Solana chain has recently continued to rise, briefly surpassing 100 million USD, currently priced at approximately 0.105 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 25%. This rise may be attributed to the recent personal purchases made by the token's prototype figure, The White Whale (associated address ECyvt...).Today, The White Whale has purchased over 2.39 million tokens of the same name, valued at about 200,000 USD, and subsequently consolidated the tokens into its main address (EBxg...). Currently, this main address holds approximately 56 million USD worth of tokens, accounting for 56% of the total supply of this Meme coin, with an unrealized profit of 17.7 million USD (30%), and an average purchase price of about 0.0213 USD, with no sales made yet.This Meme coin was initially created on October 13, 2025, on pump.fun by fans using the profile of the well-known trader The White Whale ("X:TheWhiteWhaleV2") on X and Hyperliquid.

The Executive Director of the U.S. Presidential Advisory Committee on Digital Assets, Patrick Witt, stated that the White House will not accept provisions in the cryptocurrency market structure legislation that directly target President Trump or his family's digital asset businesses, as such content has been clearly marked as a "red line."Witt mentioned that the anti-corruption or ethical provisions previously proposed by some Democratic lawmakers are "completely unacceptable," emphasizing that the core of the bill is the regulation of the cryptocurrency market, not ethical scrutiny. He expressed hope that the Democratic side could propose a more "reasonable and negotiable" version to advance the legislation.Witt also pointed out that the current primary goal of the White House is to facilitate a bill that can be submitted for the President's signature, while seeking a compromise amid the disagreements between the banking sector and the cryptocurrency industry regarding stablecoin revenues. However, he also admitted that the Democratic demand to restrict government officials and their families from participating in the cryptocurrency industry remains one of the main obstacles to advancing the legislation.

The founder of Equation News, Vida, stated in a post on his personal channel that he personally holds over $100 million in cash, but "earning an extra $10,000 still makes him very happy."At the same time, Vida mentioned that his asset management style is centered around caution and drawdown control, viewing asset size as a game ranking. He achieves wealth growth by pursuing thousands of small victories and scientific management. Vida pointed out that while the amount of a single transaction can reach millions of dollars, it only represents a small proportion of his total net worth, and he holds a negative attitude towards high-leverage speculative behavior.
