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.

Libbitcoin developer @evoskuil stated that the latest version of Libbitcoin Server can complete the initial block download of a Bitcoin full node in 55 minutes and perform full verification. This speed improvement comes from a new GPU-based signature verification system that runs in parallel with conventional script verification, rather than as a separate step.The software does not pause execution to verify each ECDSA and Schnorr signature; instead, it captures signature checks, batches them, and processes them via GPU while the remaining verification continues. @evoskuil indicated that this method achieves about a 99.5% signature capture rate without blocking verification, thus eliminating the need for a second verification. If a batch signature check fails, the software traces it back to the corresponding block and marks that block as invalid. He also mentioned that this design can batch process an almost arbitrary number of signatures, keeping the GPU ahead of the remaining verification process and significantly shortening the full node synchronization time.

Zilliqa stated that there is a serious random number generation vulnerability in the Zilliqa Ledger application, affecting the Schnorr signatures of native non-EVM Zilliqa transactions. Attackers can recover the signer's private key from the biased temporary random numbers using only publicly available on-chain data.Any account that has signed and broadcasted about 5 or more native transactions through the Zilliqa Ledger application should be considered compromised. Since the related signatures are permanently recorded on the chain, subsequent updates to the application cannot eliminate the risk, and the affected private keys must be deactivated. EVM transactions and development tools such as zilliqa-js, gozilliqa-sdk, and pyzil are not affected.The vulnerability arises from the application selecting the wrong 32 bytes when copying the random number, retaining 8 bytes of zero padding and losing 8 bytes of entropy, resulting in each random number having a maximum of 64 bits fixed to zero. Attackers can use 5 or more affected signatures to recover the private key within seconds using ordinary hardware. Zilliqa observed suspected active exploitation on July 19 and confirmed the root cause on July 21.Zilliqa has suspended native transactions to prevent further loss of funds and is preparing a revised application with Ledger. However, the revised version cannot protect the exposed keys, and affected users should not transfer assets on their own but wait for the official announcement of a coordinated disposal plan.

Gate gStocks' tokenized securities service has undergone a comprehensive upgrade, officially launching five major financial functions: collateralized borrowing, idle asset management, unified accounts, leveraged trading, and stock dividends, further expanding the integrated application scenarios of stock assets from trading, yield management to liquidity management.Currently, gStocks supports over 58 global tokenized securities, covering various assets such as U.S. stocks, Korean stocks, unlisted equity, and ETFs, and employs a 1:1 native stock reserve mechanism to provide users with a transparent and trustworthy asset holding experience. At the same time, gStocks supports 24/7 trading with a minimum investment of 1 USDT, lowering the participation threshold. After this functional upgrade, users can release liquidity through collateralized borrowing without having to sell their held gStocks assets; idle stock assets can also participate in yield management through idle asset management. In addition, gStocks has deeply integrated into the Gate unified account system, supporting tokenized stock assets as trading collateral and providing features such as leveraged trading, long and short strategies, and stock dividends, further enhancing asset utilization efficiency.

According to South Korean media Maeil Business, data from the Financial Supervisory Service of Korea shows that during the first phase of the CBDC pilot project led by the Bank of Korea, financial authorities did not conduct any independent security verification, and only the participating banks conducted their own pre-security reviews.Before the project launched, only an IT vulnerability self-assessment was conducted for the participating banks, executed by the Financial Security Institute, SK Shields, and self-inspection teams from Woori Bank and NongHyup Bank, forming an evaluation model of "self-check by the regulated entities." The central bank acknowledged external doubts about the security of the deposit tokens in the pilot result report and responded that the pre-review was sufficient, but critics pointed out that this explanation was a self-assessment and not an independent third-party verification.

According to Cointelegraph, Japanese logistics company AZ-COM Maruwa Holdings plans to use the JPYC stablecoin to make payments to approximately 2,300 business partners, potentially becoming the first large-scale enterprise in Japan to use the yen stablecoin JPYC. This stablecoin will be used to pay transportation contractors (including truck drivers) fees and compensation.Since JPYC does not charge transfer fees, using the stablecoin allows for faster and more frequent payments. AZ-COM Maruwa is also considering establishing a partnership with JPYC and plans to invest over 1 billion yen (approximately 6.2 million USD). AZ-COM Maruwa is a medium-sized Japanese logistics company, with major clients including Amazon Japan.

According to a report by CCTV Finance, Wei Liang, Vice President of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, stated that the daily Token call volume in our country has surged from about 100 billion at the beginning of 2024 to 140 trillion by the end of March 2026, an increase of over a thousand times.Intelligent agents are giving rise to a brand new economic form, known as the "Token economy." Token, in Chinese, is called 词元, and it is an important unit for large models to process information and measure model invocation costs. Its growth rate is the most intuitive barometer of industrial development.In the era of intelligent agents, a single user command may trigger multiple rounds of model calls and resource consumption, directly driving an explosion in demand for artificial intelligence computing power. With the large-scale application of intelligent agents, a series of new models surrounding Token measurement, scheduling, pricing, and trading are beginning to take shape.

According to FinanceFeeds, security researchers have discovered an information-stealing malware targeting macOS devices that is attacking cryptocurrency users. This malware can hijack Telegram Desktop sessions, steal passwords and wallet databases, further controlling user accounts and stealing digital assets. Currently affected wallets and applications include software wallets like Exodus, Atomic, Electrum, Wasabi, and Monero.The malware is capable of extracting sensitive information from macOS Keychain, Safari Cookies, Apple Notes, Telegram Desktop, and multiple cryptocurrency wallet-related databases, including login credentials, authenticated session files, wallet data, and browser extension information. Security analysis points out that the danger of this attack chain lies in its reliance not on a single wallet vulnerability, but on collecting various types of data from the device, linking device intrusion, account takeover, wallet cracking, and mnemonic phrase theft together. Among these, Telegram Desktop sessions have become a key target.Attackers can copy authenticated Telegram local session data and restore the login on another Mac device without needing to enter a phone number, verification code, or Telegram two-factor authentication password. This means that Telegram 2FA cannot provide complete protection in this attack scenario, as the attacker is not performing a new login but is exploiting an already trusted local session. For cryptocurrency users, the risks are further amplified. Since Telegram is widely used for exchange customer service, project communities, OTC trading, and wallet communication, once attackers gain access to user session permissions, they could impersonate the victim, read private chats, locate asset information, and even spread malicious links to contacts.
