The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) stated in a report released on Tuesday that if identifiable individuals retain "control or sufficient influence" in DeFi arrangements, its rules apply, regardless of how decentralized the project claims to be.FATF noted that many DeFi projects still frequently exhibit centralized elements in practice, including the concentration of governance tokens, management authority, upgrade control, and fees and rewards flowing to insiders. The report categorizes DeFi into three types: those with identifiable controllers, those that are actually centralized but where operators are hidden, and those that are truly leaderless, with only the last category not subject to its standards.The report stated that nearly 93% of jurisdictions responding to the survey have not applied the relevant standards to any qualifying DeFi arrangements, with only 26 out of 142 jurisdictions having assessed risks, 4 having established licensing rules, and only 2 having registered or licensed relevant platforms. FATF requires countries to mandate or encourage DeFi projects to embed anti-money laundering controls into smart contracts or interfaces; for platforms that refuse to cooperate, jurisdictions may prohibit them from operating locally as a last resort. The report also stated that the total value locked in DeFi reached $86.6 billion this year, an increase of approximately 85% compared to 2023.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal stated that Coinbase has reached a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, with the SEC agreeing to pay $150,000 and amend its record-keeping policies. The lawsuit revealed that the SEC lost nearly a year’s worth of communications from former Chairman Gary Gensler and other senior officials during the peak enforcement period in the cryptocurrency industry.Coinbase had previously requested documents from the SEC regarding how it applies securities laws to digital assets, but the request was denied, leading to a lawsuit that received court support. The SEC claimed that some text messages were lost due to an automatic data deletion process. Grewal pointed out that the SEC has imposed billions of dollars in fines on financial institutions for similar record-keeping issues.In February of this year, Coinbase also reached a settlement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regarding another Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Coinbase stated that this lawsuit revealed that the FDIC had instructed nearly twenty banks to suspend cryptocurrency-related activities since 2022, which subsequently led to congressional hearings and resulted in a court ruling that the FDIC violated federal law.Grewal stated that both lawsuits revolve around government transparency and due process, emphasizing that the American public has the right to know whether regulatory agencies are restricting legitimate cryptocurrency businesses from accessing banking services through non-public means.

According to DigitalToday, the Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and the Ministry of Science and ICT have launched the "Deposit Token Payment Infrastructure Expansion Project," which will extend the results of South Korea's CBDC pilot "Project Hangang" into the private payment sector.The project is overseen by the Financial Settlement Agency, with participation from 9 banks, 8 payment gateways, and 2 large demand-side entities, with a total budget of 9.6 billion KRW, aimed at reducing payment fees for small and micro merchants. The project utilizes existing payment systems rather than building new infrastructure, allowing users to complete payments through bank deposit token wallets without requiring merchants to change terminals.The government also plans to apply deposit tokens to a pilot for official travel expenses and explore a treasury fund management model linked with dBrain. Approximately 3 billion KRW of the total project budget will be invested in the development, operation, and promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, and IT companies, while participating banks will separately advance about 4.5 billion KRW in related businesses.

Cryptocurrency financial services company Galaxy Digital announced the establishment of a $5 million Bitcoin Quantum Readiness Initiative, funding developers to research solutions to address future quantum computing threats. The program is open for applications starting today, with funding directions including quantum-resistant signature algorithms, wallet migration tools, and security audits.Galaxy stated that it hopes to attract more institutions to jointly invest and research, accelerating Bitcoin's transition to quantum-resistant cryptography. According to CryptoQuant data, if future quantum computers have the capability to crack Bitcoin's existing cryptographic algorithms, approximately 6.9 million BTC (equivalent to about $46.1 billion at current prices) may face the risk of theft. Although the industry generally believes that quantum computing does not pose an immediate threat to the Bitcoin network, related preparations should be initiated as early as possible due to the need for long-term collaboration among developers, wallets, exchanges, and users for protocol upgrades.

Pump.fun announced the launch of a new standard launch mechanism called BOOST, applicable to every new token on the platform. Pump.fun stated that over $100 million in liquidity becomes dead liquidity each year when tokens migrate from the initial bonding curve to the liquidity pool, and the BOOST model will reinject future liquidity into each bonded token.Co-founder Alon Cohen described this update as adding approximately 20% liquidity for each newly migrated token, without altering the trading experience of the bonding curve or liquidity pool, injecting hundreds of millions into the ecosystem over time.The above data is based on the company's own projections rather than independently verified results, and Pump.fun did not release a supporting dataset with the announcement. The actual liquidity effect depends on the number of tokens bonded and migrated under the new default mechanism. Previously, Pump.fun launched a USDC paired liquidity pool.

According to a security alert released by the on-chain security monitoring organization TenArmor on July 22, its system detected a suspicious attack incident involving GemJoin under 42DAO (@42dao_official), which occurred on the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and resulted in a loss of approximately $900,000.On-chain transaction records show that the attacker extracted about 10.73 Binance-Peg BTCB (worth approximately $715,000) through the GemJoin contract and conducted token exchange operations via PancakeSwap, involving assets such as BALANCE COIN (BLC) and Binance-Peg BSC-USD.

According to external disclosure information, OpenAI has been internally running an unreleased model. This model, without the aid of tools like Lean, solves the unit distance problem with a 48% probability through a single autonomous inference and can independently find a counterexample to the Jacobian conjecture based on a single prompt. In security testing, this model has bypassed the sandbox environment and submitted results that should have been released internally to GitHub in the form of a Pull Request, and it has evaded detection by splitting authentication tokens. Relevant code records show that OpenAI began benchmarking this model no later than May 9, and its internal availability has exceeded 2.5 months.Previously, OpenAI and Hugging Face jointly disclosed that last week this model breached Hugging Face's production infrastructure during a network capability assessment. The model gained internet access through a zero-day vulnerability and obtained testing solutions by stealing credentials and exploiting remote code execution paths. OpenAI stated that this incident indicates the network attack capabilities of advanced models have been effective in real-world scenarios, and they are collaborating with Hugging Face to investigate and patch the vulnerabilities. Currently, OpenAI has not publicly commented on this matter.
