Coinbase announced that it has obtained a UK investment services license (MiFID) and will provide traditional financial product trading services to UK users in the future. Institutional and professional traders will be able to trade perpetual contracts for cryptocurrencies, stocks, and commodities, while retail users will be able to trade stocks on the Coinbase platform for the first time.Coinbase stated that this license will form a regulatory framework together with its existing UK electronic money license and cryptocurrency asset registration qualifications, marking the largest expansion of product capabilities since the company entered the UK market, and will further advance its "Everything Exchange" strategy. In the future, the platform will gradually support services such as stablecoin payments, savings, lending, and tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

Court documents from New York State show that William Wood and Thomas Bush have sued entities related to Polymarket and CEO Shayne Coplan, accusing them of incorrect settlement in the "Will Strategy sell Bitcoin before May 31, 2026?" market.The lawsuit states that the 8-K filing submitted by Strategy to the SEC disclosed the sale of 32 BTC during the relevant period, sufficient to prove that the market should settle as "Yes," but Polymarket ultimately determined it to be "No," and was accused of subsequently issuing a "clarification" that changed the criteria for judgment.

The security analysis platform GoPlus tweeted regarding the incident where "a user exchanged approximately 1126 ETH (about 2.01 million USD) for 5776 LIT (about 14,000 USD) on Uniswap, resulting in a loss of nearly 2 million USD." The core reason for this incident was not a sandwich attack, but rather backrunner arbitrage within the same block. The routing contract injected a large amount of WETH into a liquidity-poor AVAIL/WETH trading pool, causing the user to buy AVAIL at a severely deviated market price (about 120 times the reasonable price). Subsequently, within the same block, the backrunner executed a reverse trade on the pool with a minimal amount of AVAIL at the real price, withdrawing approximately 1072 WETH, and paid most of it (about 1018 ETH) as builder payment to Titan Builder.

According to community user @CG_BRC20, the Alkanes protocol has a serious BUG that allows for unlimited token issuance.A certain address just exploited the BUG, generating an additional 100 million DIESEL out of thin air. The official Espo flow browser and Subfrost interface cannot display the assets, and users holding this asset should be aware of the risks.It is reported that the Alkanes official TG group administrator has temporarily stated that the funds are safe.

According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, multiple reports indicate that the centralized cryptocurrency exchange AscendEX (formerly Bitmax) has recently delayed or failed to process users' withdrawal requests for several days or even weeks, yet the platform continues to accept user deposits.As early as the initial warning on June 26, ZachXBT pointed out that, after reviewing on-chain data from Arkham and TRM, several known hot wallets of AscendEX (covering EVM, Tron, and Solana networks) severely lack major market cap tokens such as ETH, USDT, and SOL, indicating that the platform is likely facing a serious liquidity crisis.The latest situation shows that, in the 9 days since the first warning, the official X account of AscendEX has remained inactive, and the platform's co-founder George (Jing) Cao has not responded to inquiries from users with large amounts of trapped funds. Currently, ZachXBT strongly advises users unable to withdraw their funds to report to law enforcement and regulatory agencies in their respective countries or regions as soon as possible.It is reported that AscendEX was founded by George (Jing) Cao and Ariel Ling in 2018. In December 2021, the platform was attacked by the hacker group Lazarus Group, resulting in approximately $78 million in asset losses.

According to Coin Bureau, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino explained the reason why USDT has not applied for the EU MiCA license, stating that the regulation is "very dangerous for stablecoins."He mentioned that MiCA could force issuers to keep 60% of their reserves in uninsured cash deposits at small European banks, which may not be able to handle large-scale redemptions. Ardoino believes the legislation is "poorly considered" and stated that "skipping MiCA is to protect Tether's over 400 million users."

JUST officially released the GasFree monthly data report for June. The data shows that the GasFree feature launched by TRON is becoming the preferred solution for convenient on-chain transfers. This feature significantly simplifies the transfer process, allowing users to pay transaction fees directly with USDT in their wallets, breaking the traditional limitation of "having to hold TRX in advance," and significantly lowering the threshold for on-chain interactions. In June, GasFree performed impressively, processing a total of 719,270 transactions, with a total transfer amount reaching 11.45 billion USD, serving over 359,000 users cumulatively. Driven by real application scenarios, GasFree is promoting ecological growth with solid data.

According to Decrypt, the Dutch Public Prosecution Service has applied to the Rotterdam court to declare the cryptocurrency platform Knaken and its affiliated payment institution Stichting Knaken Payments bankrupt, stating that this move is in the "public interest."Knaken has ceased operations since early June, leaving approximately 30,000 users unable to withdraw funds from the platform. The prosecution stated that the platform did not obtain the license required by the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM), and the liquidation process lacks orderly management, having stopped payments to customers and allegedly advised users not to file compensation claims.Meanwhile, the Dutch Financial Intelligence and Investigation Service (FIOD) has launched a criminal investigation and searched relevant locations on Monday, seizing laptops, mobile phones, and some company assets, with no arrests made so far. If the court approves the bankruptcy application, the court-appointed bankruptcy administrator will take over the company's assets and be responsible for determining the repayment arrangements for customers and other creditors.

According to The Block, Sovright (the nonprofit successor organization related to Electric Coin Company for Zcash development) has officially released a wallet recovery tool named "Argos," aimed at helping early Zcash users recover funds that have been "stuck" due to the discontinuation of the old version of ZEC Wallet Lite in 2022.Sovright's Executive Board Chair Michelle Lai stated that Argos can recover affected assets as long as users still hold the old wallet mnemonic phrases, but since it only involves specific shielded addresses, the scale of the impact cannot be precisely estimated. However, it is estimated that the "amount is considerable," primarily concentrated among early long-term holders.She referred to the issue as a "technical pitfall" that the community has long failed to address, which, although not prominent, continues to erode user trust. Sovright currently consists of only three core members, all from the former Bootstrap system. The team is also testing a privacy-focused Zcash mining pool to reduce hash power centralization and enhance network decentralization.The governance structure of the organization has undergone significant adjustments, with Electric Coin Company employees collectively leaving to establish a new entity, Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL), which has received support from institutions such as Paradigm and a16z, focusing on the development of Zcash-related products.Sovright emphasizes that there is no antagonistic relationship with ZODL and states that it will continue to focus on solving "long-standing issues" in the Zcash ecosystem, including key pain points such as wallet usability and infrastructure stability.

Blockchain intelligence company AMLBot's monitoring data shows that recently Polymarket users on the Polygon network had approximately $3.1 million PUSD stolen due to a front-end malicious script intrusion.The attackers implanted a malicious script that induced users to sign authorization transactions (involving EIP-7702 delegated execution), resulting in the users' wallets being emptied. The stolen funds were then converted to USDC.e through Relay, bridged to Ethereum, and ultimately exchanged for ETH, which was concentrated in a designated address. Currently, about 1891.9 ETH is distributed across three new wallets.AMLBot pointed out that this attack is similar to the incident involving the 2024 1inch web application, where a wallet theft script was implanted in the Lottie Player library, both cases involved third-party scripts being compromised, leading to front-end contamination.

Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi released the latest update on the theft incident, stating that the team has completed the final balance snapshot of affected users' assets. Previously, multiple snapshots were continuously recorded during the incident response as a basis for subsequent asset recovery and verification.SecondFi stated that the engineering and security teams are advancing the asset recovery plan, with the expectation that asset returns could begin in about two weeks. One week will be used to reach a feasible technical solution, and one week will be used for testing and review, with specific timing potentially adjusted as progress is made. The platform will resume operations only after passing a comprehensive security review. Currently, users only need to submit support requests through the official website ticketing system, with no additional actions required.

According to the "2026 Anti-Fraud Report" jointly released by Bitget and SlowMist, as digital finance continues to expand into stocks, tokenized assets, and AI tools, cross-asset trading is gradually becoming an important trend for users participating in the market. The proportion of users engaging in cross-asset allocation has increased from less than 1% in mid-2025 to over 10% in May 2026.The report points out that fraudulent methods are evolving from single attacks to complex attack chains, integrating AI-generated content, deepfakes, voice cloning, and multi-channel social engineering. From July 2025 to June 2026, Bitget's security system intercepted over 150 million malicious requests, identified more than 13,000 high-risk malicious IPs, and assisted users in recovering approximately $32.3 million related to security incidents and fraudulent activities.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that this year marks the third Anti-Fraud Month event, and Bitget will continue to launch security education content, risk identification guides, and industry collaboration activities to help users enhance their ability to identify and protect against AI fraud, phishing attacks, and multi-asset scenario scams.

According to Cointelegraph, a study based on 857,000 active users of Polymarket shows that about 60% of users who placed their first bets during the World Cup had never interacted with blockchain protocols before.Alvin Kan, Chief Operating Officer of Bitget Wallet, stated that prediction markets have changed the traditional logic for crypto users to get involved—users no longer need to understand blockchain technology first, but can participate directly because they have opinions on real-world events. This has made prediction markets a new entry point for some users into the crypto space.Data shows that the trading volume of Polymarket's World Cup champion contracts has exceeded $3.1 billion, with sports contracts contributing over $4.9 billion in trading volume to Polymarket in the past 30 days, and reaching $8.5 billion on Kalshi, becoming the main trading category on both platforms.

On-chain security analyst Specter stated that a phishing attack suspected to target Polymarket users is currently occurring, with total losses amounting to approximately $2.94 million.According to its monitoring, attackers have transferred funds from more than 11 victim wallets holding PUSD, converting the stolen assets into ETH, while reminding users to be cautious of phishing risks and stating that the incident is still under ongoing investigation.

Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi stated that it has identified the root cause of the recent security incident and has deployed patches for the unaffected wallets, and will soon resume normal operations. SecondFi disclosed that there were a total of 4 incidents of funds being transferred out, of which 3 were carried out by external attackers, resulting in approximately 16 million ADA being transferred from 374 addresses. To reduce further losses during the ongoing attacks, SecondFi initiated an emergency transfer, moving approximately 129 million ADA to an independent third-party custodian for safekeeping, and has hired an external accounting firm for a special audit to facilitate subsequent verification and return assets to the affected addresses. SecondFi advises affected users to submit claims through the official support page and currently not to import their mnemonic phrases into other Cardano wallets, as the security risk occurs at the address and signature level.

a16z crypto Paul Cafiero stated that the technology and cryptocurrency industries are entering the "Show Me" era, where the previous model of gaining market recognition through vision, white papers, tokens, and team backgrounds is failing. With regulatory scrutiny, incidents involving bad actors in the industry, the large-scale entry of traditional financial institutions, and the rapid deployment of AI products, the external audience's tolerance for "stories" has significantly decreased.He believes that after institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton entered the cryptocurrency and tokenization space, the threshold for serious projects in the industry has been raised. Project teams now need to demonstrate real data, on-chain transaction volume, active users, revenue, retention, deployed integrations, and verifiable partnerships. He stated that in 2021, it might have been possible to impress the market with 80% vision and 20% facts, but now that ratio has reversed.

Bitget's "Fastest Gold Buying Challenge" has officially concluded. During the event, users voluntarily recorded and uploaded the entire process from opening the app to completing the XAUUSD gold CFD transaction, with the fastest record set by users at 4 seconds.From the platform data, it can be seen that the market demand for gold is expanding simultaneously. As the situation between the U.S. and Iran fluctuates between tension and easing, risk-averse sentiment continues to support gold prices. Bitget's daily CFD trading volume has surpassed $10 billion, with XAUUSD accounting for over 80% of that. The structural concentration of trading volume reflects users' preferences during times of increasing macro uncertainty.
