Web3 security company CertiK has released the "Skynet North Korea Cyber Threat Report." The data shows that since 2016, North Korean hacker groups have plundered approximately $6.75 billion in digital assets. In 2025 alone, the losses from thefts they orchestrated reached as high as $2.06 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of the total losses in the global cryptocurrency industry for the entire year (including the $1.5 billion Bybit theft case). As of early 2026, this threat trend continues, with losses accounting for about 55%.The report emphasizes that the attack patterns of North Korean hackers have undergone a fundamental shift, evolving from simple code vulnerability exploitation to a national-level attack system that combines social engineering, deep supply chain attacks, and "physical infiltration." In the recent Drift protocol incident, attackers even spent six months lurking at offline industry conferences, establishing trust through real funds and interpersonal interactions before executing their attack.CertiK security experts warn that in the face of such systemic attacks, simple technical defenses have become weak. Cryptocurrency institutions urgently need to fully implement a "zero trust" hiring model, strengthen third-party supply chains, establish fund circuit breaker mechanisms, and collaborate with professional security organizations to build a comprehensive lifecycle defense system covering code audits, round-the-clock risk monitoring, and on-chain anti-money laundering/KYT (Know Your Transaction) fund tracking.

According to informed sources, Payward, the parent company of the cryptocurrency platform Kraken, is conducting a new round of capital financing at a valuation of $20 billion, to which Kraken declined to comment.The company has recently significantly increased its merger and acquisition spending—acquiring the stablecoin-focused payment company Reap for $600 million and the digital asset derivatives platform Bitnomial for $550 million, both transactions conducted at a $20 billion valuation.Its largest transaction was the $1.5 billion acquisition of the U.S. retail futures platform and CFTC-registered futures commission merchant NinjaTrader in 2025, which provided Kraken with a significant foothold in the U.S. derivatives market.Regarding IPO progress, Payward secretly submitted an S-1 registration statement draft to the U.S. SEC on November 19, 2025. Although reports in March 2026 indicated that the company paused its IPO plans due to unfavorable market conditions, sources stated that the company still intends to go public, but may wait for market improvements.At last week's Consensus conference in Miami, Payward co-CEO Arjun Sethi stated that the trading platform is "80% ready" for an IPO.Additionally, Deutsche Börse (DB1) purchased approximately 1.5% of Payward's shares for $200 million through a secondary share sale in April 2026, valuing Payward at $13.3 billion (lower than the previous financing round's valuation of about $20 billion).In November 2025, Kraken completed an $800 million financing in two tranches to push traditional financial products onto the blockchain, with investors including Jane Street, DRW Venture Capital, and Tribe Capital. Subsequently, Citadel Securities also made a strategic investment of $200 million at a $20 billion valuation.

The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 40 partners of Aave, covering multiple layers such as TradFi/RWA, stablecoins, infrastructure, wallets, DeFi protocols, exchanges, and custody. From its early focus on the lending efficiency of crypto assets to competing for on-chain dollar liquidity after the launch of GHO, Aave seems to be defining an interest rate system for on-chain dollars. At the TradFi and RWA layer, institutions like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and JPMorgan are prominently featured, along with RWA platforms such as Centrifuge, OpenEden, and Securitize, indicating that Aave is no longer satisfied with lending native crypto assets but is attempting to meet the financing needs of real-world assets on-chain. At the stablecoin layer, partners like Circle, Tether, Ethena, Ripple, and Plasma suggest that Aave is competing for the on-chain "dollar liquidity" entry point. Whoever controls stablecoin deposits is closer to on-chain interest rate pricing power. At the infrastructure layer, partners like Chainlink, ConsenSys, Flashbots, and Mantle provide Aave with price oracles, MEV optimization, and multi-chain expansion capabilities. At the user distribution layer, wallet partners like MetaMask, Ledger, Bitget Wallet, Privy, and Turnkey are lowering the entry barriers for users; meanwhile, institutional channels like Kraken, Bybit, and Fireblocks further amplify the capital entry points. DeFi protocols such as Pendle, Maple Finance, and CoW Swap extend Aave's liquidity into fixed income, institutional lending, and trading scenarios. The recent rsETH/Kelp risk event caused Aave's TVL to drop from a peak of $44 billion to $15 billion, once again testing the risk management capabilities of this established DeFi protocol.

According to Fortune, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared his views at the Sequoia Capital AI Summit, noting significant generational differences in how users of different ages utilize ChatGPT. He stated that older users tend to use ChatGPT as a substitute for Google Search, while those in their twenties and thirties use it as a life advisor, and college students use it as a deeply integrated daily operating system.In the U.S., over one-third of young people aged 18 to 24 frequently use ChatGPT, leveraging its conversational memory feature for emotional advice, workplace negotiations, medical consultations, and even major life decisions. Sequoia Capital made its first investment in OpenAI in 2021, when the company was valued at $140 billion; after significant private equity financing, its current valuation has reached $852 billion.
