According to French media reports, on the morning of April 20 local time, a malicious "targeted robbery of crypto assets" occurred in Ploudalmézeau, France: two masked gunmen broke into a residence, controlling and binding a family of five (including two children and two elderly individuals) for several hours, ultimately coercing the victims to transfer approximately 700,000 euros worth of cryptocurrency.The incident took place in a residential community in broad daylight, and the suspects were clearly "well-prepared," having a thorough understanding of the victims' crypto asset holdings. Police initially determined that this case represents a typical new crime model of "offline violence + on-chain transfer," where personal threats are used to forcibly obtain private keys or transfer authorizations.It is noteworthy that the family members of the victims were engaged in work related to the crypto industry, which may have been a significant reason for this targeted crime. The case is still under investigation, and the suspects have not yet been arrested.This incident once again highlights that, against the backdrop of the increasing popularity of crypto assets, "physical world attacks" (such as kidnapping and home invasion) are becoming new security risk points, and personal asset security is no longer limited to on-chain protection.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore has released a consultation document proposing to establish a more friendly regulatory capital guideline for the treatment of crypto assets on permissionless blockchains before implementing the Basel capital requirements for crypto assets.It is reported that the Basel capital requirements for crypto assets categorize them into two groups. The first group involves tokenized traditional assets and stablecoins, which are subject to lower capital requirements.The second group involves crypto assets that do not meet the above conditions. The Monetary Authority of Singapore intends to abandon the practice of categorizing all crypto assets on permissionless blockchains as part of the second group, allowing them to be classified as first group crypto assets with lower risk weights and more lenient prudential requirements, provided they meet a series of principled requirements. Specifically, for banks registered in Singapore, the risk exposure of permissionless blockchain crypto assets classified as first group crypto assets must not exceed 2% of the bank's Tier 1 capital, and if the issuance creates liabilities at the bank level, the issuance scale must not exceed 5% of Tier 1 capital.

The State Duma of Russia (the lower house of parliament) has passed the "Digital Currency and Digital Rights Bill" in the first reading, marking a key step towards the legalization of cryptocurrency assets in the country.According to the bill, the Bank of Russia will become the core regulatory body for the cryptocurrency market, responsible for issuing licenses, approving or prohibiting related transactions, and defining the legality of transactions. The bill proposes to classify cryptocurrencies as "property," but explicitly prohibits their use as a means of payment domestically, with the ruble remaining the only legal tender. However, in the context of Western sanctions, cryptocurrency assets can be used for cross-border trade settlements, including service payments, intellectual property transfers, and other scenarios.In addition, the bill allows Russian residents to legally invest in cryptocurrency assets through licensed institutions, but will implement a tiered investor system, setting testing and annual investment limits for ordinary investors (with a suggested cap of 300,000 rubles). Initially, only high-market-cap mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum will be allowed for trading, with a whitelist established by the central bank. The bill is expected to be formally passed and come into effect by July 2026 at the latest. However, some lawmakers and banking industry figures have criticized the overly strict regulations, which may affect market activity and even lead to funds remaining in the gray market. At the same time, accompanying legislation is also proposed to introduce criminal penalties, with a maximum sentence of 7 years in prison for illegal cryptocurrency trading.

According to the official announcement from Volo, a security vulnerability incident occurred with the BTCFi and LST protocols on the Sui network, resulting in approximately $3.5 million in assets (including WBTC, XAUm, and USDC) being stolen from three specific Vaults.After the incident, the team immediately notified the Sui Foundation and ecological partners, and froze all Vaults to prevent further losses. Volo stated that this vulnerability only involved three Vaults, and the remaining Vaults do not have the same attack vector, with approximately $28 million in TVL assets remaining safe. The official emphasized that they will bear the loss themselves and will not pass the loss onto users, and will release a complete post-incident report and remediation plan after the investigation is completed.

According to CoinDesk, the legislative process for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate has been delayed by several months, but there is still a path for advancement under a tight legislative schedule.Insiders indicate that the originally planned advancement of the bill is now basically hopeless, with the earliest possible entry into the Senate committee review stage being in May. If the Senate vote can be completed before July, the bill still has a chance to be enacted by 2026. However, analysts point out that given the limited legislative time window and the intertwining of multiple political issues, the probability of the bill passing in 2026 is about 50%, and there is a risk of further delays or even being shelved if significant disagreements arise later.

According to on-chain analyst Specter (@SpecterAnalyst), the North Korean hacker group TraderTraitor began laundering stolen funds from KelpDAO early this morning Beijing time, just three hours after the Arbitrum Council froze 30.7 ETH (approximately $71 million).The attackers split the remaining funds into three wallets, holding approximately 25,000 ETH (about $57.6 million), 25,700 ETH (about $59.2 million), and 25,000 ETH (about $57.9 million), with the third wallet immediately starting the laundering process, currently holding about 3,800 ETH (approximately $8 million). The funds are primarily being bridged to the Bitcoin network via THORChain, with about 99% of the funds flowing through this protocol, causing THORChain's trading volume to surge to $211 million that day, more than ten times its 30-day average, generating approximately $189,000 in fees.During this laundering process, the funds were also mixed with illicit proceeds from the BTC Turk (2025) and Bybit (2025) hacking incidents, with related funds currently tracked on the Bitcoin network totaling approximately 442 BTC (about $33 million), and the entire laundering process has utilized over 400 addresses.

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Waller: (Regarding whether to incorporate digital assets into the financial system) Digital assets are already a part of our financial industry.

According to Cointelegraph, DefiLlama data shows that there have been 518 hacking incidents in the crypto space over the past 10 years, with total losses exceeding $17 billion, a significant portion of which is related to private key leaks, phishing, and other credential-based attacks.As smart contract security continues to improve, attackers are increasingly turning to wallet security, signature infrastructure, development tools, and user operations. Recently, the rsETH cross-chain bridge of Kelp DAO was attacked, resulting in approximately 116,500 rsETH being stolen, valued at about $290 million to $293 million at the time.

According to on-chain analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), the Kelp DAO attacker transferred 50,700 ETH to 2 new addresses, worth $118 million.

ChainCatcher reported live that Tang Bo, Assistant Dean of the Financial Research Institute at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Fei Si, Partner at King & Wood Mallesons, Diao Zhi Hai, Head of International Wealth Management at China International Capital Corporation, and Gavin Wang, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of SNZ Holding & SNZ Capital, jointly attended the HK Web3 Feastival roundtable discussion, sharing insights on "from asset registration" to "on-chain issuance," bridging the last mile of RWA cross-border compliance.Fei Si pointed out that the so-called "from asset registration to on-chain issuance" essentially establishes a replicable, sustainable, and legally compliant channel for "domestic assets, overseas issuance." He believes that the most critical aspect at this stage is to first establish a solid transaction structure and top-level product design, clarifying whether the product is classified as equity or debt, as this will directly determine the corresponding regulatory authorities, communication methods, and subsequent legal document arrangements.Diao Zhi Hai approached the issue from the practical perspective of traditional financial institutions, stating that the biggest challenge currently is not a single isolated pain point, but how to systematically connect multiple compliance nodes to form a truly implementable closed-loop mechanism. He indicated that RWA cross-border projects involve not only financial regulation but also data cross-border, cybersecurity, foreign exchange management, and other departmental collaborations. Therefore, it is essential to examine whether the underlying assets can be clearly defined and mapped on-chain, who qualifies as the issuer and controlling entity, and whether the non-financial regulatory requirements throughout the process have been incorporated into the plan.Gavin Wang entered the discussion from the investment and market demand perspective, emphasizing that the global trend of asset tokenization is certain, and that high-quality Chinese assets are still significantly undervalued overseas. This means that as long as the cross-border compliance path is opened, market demand genuinely exists. He believes that investment institutions are most concerned with whether the entire project has clear compliance boundaries and marketability: red lines cannot be crossed, and gray areas must be approached with caution. What is truly worth investing in are those asset types with clearer regulatory expectations that investors can more easily understand and accept. In the long term, he is optimistic about two types of Chinese cross-border RWA targets: one type is large, high-quality Chinese assets that are easily understood by overseas investors, and the other type includes high-end manufacturing, robotics, AI, and pharmaceutical pipelines that are still undervalued overseas but possess global competitiveness.

The Japan Securities Clearing Corporation (JSCC), a clearing institution under the Japan Exchange Group, has partnered with Mizuho Bank, Nomura Securities, and Digital Asset to launch a proof-of-concept trial aimed at exploring the use of blockchain technology for collateral management of Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs).According to a joint statement released on Monday, the trial will integrate existing systems from multiple institutions through the Canton Network to test the on-chain transfer and management of JGBs. This initiative aims to assess the feasibility of achieving real-time collateral trading while ensuring compliance with relevant financial instruments and trading laws. The trial will also investigate cross-border use cases involving clearinghouses, institutional investors, and other market participants.JSCC stated that this trial is part of a broader initiative under the Financial Services Agency's "Payment Innovation Project." As overseas markets like the United States make progress in testing similar infrastructures, advancing JGBs collateral management has become an "urgent priority." Previously, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) in the U.S. launched a pilot to tokenize U.S. Treasury securities, and South Korea is also conducting related tests.

According to GMGN data, the market capitalization of the ETH chain meme coin ASTEROID has surpassed a new high of 200 million USD, currently reported at 196 million USD, with a daily increase of over 48%.ChainCatcher reminds users that meme coin prices are highly volatile, and investors should be aware of the risks.

ChainCatcher reported live that Franklin Bi, partner at Pantera Capital, Mykolas Majauskas, senior policy director at Bybit, and Zeng Yuchao, managing director at Futu Group, jointly attended the HK Web3 Feastival roundtable to share "From the Ground Up to the Entry Point: The Path of Crypto Assets to Mainstream Finance."Zeng Yuchao introduced that Futu is the largest retail brokerage in Hong Kong, with a market share of over 50%. In January this year, it obtained the VATP license, and last month removed all additional conditions to achieve full integration of securities brokerage and crypto trading. Last year, Futu collaborated with Huaxia Fund to issue a tokenized money market fund, allowing T+0 same-day subscriptions and redemptions. In terms of AI, Futu has launched the Agent skill feature, enabling users to set strategies through natural language and execute trades automatically. He believes that in the future, there will be a transformation from graphical interfaces to AI interfaces.Mykolas Majauskas pointed out that companies currently complaining about regulation will miss this honeymoon period in the future, as larger-scale regulation is on the way. He analyzed global regulatory differences: Europe leads with MiCA, the U.S. supports private issuance, China supports government digital currency, and Hong Kong serves as a tokenization gateway. He warned that many native crypto companies claim to disrupt traditional finance but are actually being acquired by traditional institutions. He believes the fundamental change in AI is at the front end: users only need to express their intentions, and AI autonomously decides to execute strategies. Bybit is building a one-stop financial platform that integrates IBAN, cards, payments, and investments. He believes many traditional wealth management companies will be eliminated because they have historically made you feel wealthy rather than truly helping you accumulate wealth.Franklin Bi stated that blockchain is the perfect technology for building financial systems for AI Agents. When Agents choose between traditional accounts and stablecoins, they are opting for stablecoins, marking the beginning of an exponential trend.
