According to The Block, Ledger's security research team Donjon has discovered a vulnerability in the secure boot chain of MediaTek processors, allowing attackers to extract encryption keys via USB connection before the operating system loads, provided they have physical access to the phone. This could enable them to decrypt device storage and obtain the device PIN code and encrypted wallet mnemonic within approximately 45 seconds.In proof-of-concept tests, the vulnerability successfully extracted sensitive data from wallet applications such as Trust Wallet, Kraken Wallet, and Phantom. Researchers indicate that this vulnerability may affect about 25% of Android phones, involving models that use MediaTek chips and Trustonic's Trusted Execution Environment. Ledger's Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet stated that smartphones were never designed to be vaults. Although the vulnerability can be patched, it highlights the inherent risks of storing keys on non-secure devices, and users are advised to update security patches as soon as possible.According to data from TRM Labs, over 80% of the $2.1 billion in stolen crypto assets in the first half of 2025 stemmed from infrastructure attacks such as private key theft, mnemonic theft, and front-end hijacking. Chainalysis data shows that losses from crypto asset theft exceeded $3.41 billion in 2024, with the proportion of stolen personal wallets rising from 7.3% in 2022 to 44% in 2024.

After establishing relationships via WhatsApp, Telegram, and other platforms, they were guided to invest in an exclusive Ethereum project purportedly backed by physical gold. In practice, victims were instructed to transfer ETH to an intermediary wallet, which was then converted to USDT and transferred to a non-custodial wallet to conceal the source and ownership of the funds.

Matrixport's analysis states that since October, the price of Bitcoin on Coinbase has consistently been lower than on other global exchanges, creating a noticeable discount. Although this price difference is somewhat influenced by fluctuations in USDT prices, the long-term discount still reflects a more pronounced selling tendency among investors on the Coinbase platform.The imbalance in capital flows from the U.S. market may be one of the important reasons for the continued pressure on the market in recent months. However, when the price of Bitcoin briefly fell to around $60,000, the discount began to narrow and has now basically returned to neutral levels. We previously mentioned that this kind of correction often indicates that most of the selling pressure has been gradually absorbed by the market, and the trading status of Bitcoin is expected to improve accordingly.Recent price trends seem to confirm this judgment. Despite ongoing geopolitical risks and the overall weak performance of risk assets, Bitcoin's overall trend remains relatively robust. This may indicate that the earlier phase of heavy selling pressure is gradually coming to an end, and the market environment is expected to see marginal improvements.

As the Middle East conflict leads to flight cancellations and logistics disruptions, a large amount of gold stranded in Dubai is being sold at a noticeable discount.Insiders reveal that due to exceptionally high transportation and insurance costs, and the inability to guarantee timely delivery, many buyers have suspended new procurement orders. As a result, under the pressure of indefinitely bearing storage and capital costs, traders have started selling gold at discounts of up to $30 per ounce below the London benchmark price.Sources say that although some gold has been loaded onto flights leaving Dubai since the middle of this week, as of Friday, many batches of gold remain stranded. The UAE, especially Dubai, is a significant global hub for gold refining and trading, exporting gold to various parts of Asia and serving as an important transit point for gold to Switzerland, the UK, and several African countries. Due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, some airspace in the UAE has been closed; meanwhile, the military strikes by the US and Israel against Iran have entered their seventh day, with no signs of an end in sight.

HyperEVM's native non-custodial lending protocol HypurrFi stated on platform X that there is a "rounding error" vulnerability in versions prior to Aave V3 3.5. Under specific conditions, an attacker could extract underlying tokens by repeatedly executing supply/extract and borrow/repay loop operations.The affected markets are XAUT0 and UBTC in HypurrFi Pooled. Currently, user funds are not at risk. To ensure safety, related markets have suspended new supply and lending operations, while withdrawal and repayment functions remain operational, and other markets are running normally. HypurrFi added that it quickly identified the issue on-chain through its internal monitoring system and promptly froze the affected markets. They are also collaborating with other Aave deployers and security researchers to address the issue and have invited other Aave fork projects to reach out for more security information.

Coinbase shareholder Kevin Meehan filed a derivative lawsuit on behalf of the company, accusing CEO Brian Armstrong and other executives of making misleading statements between April 2021 and June 2023, failing to adequately disclose the risks of customer asset custody, the securities law risks of token listings, and anti-money laundering compliance deficiencies. The lawsuit also names Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam, Chief Operating Officer Paul Grewal, and President and Chief Operating Officer Emilie Choi.The complaint states that the Coinbase user agreement describes custodial wallet assets as "assets held by the company on behalf of customers," but does not disclose that these assets may be included in the bankruptcy estate if the company goes bankrupt, potentially leaving retail users as ordinary unsecured creditors. Meanwhile, the company claims that the token listing review process can "ensure that no securities appear on the platform," yet some tokens still face securities risks.

Bloomberg ETF senior analyst Eric Balchunas posted on the X platform that Bitcoin ETFs have attracted another $500 million in inflows, with 10 out of 11 U.S. Bitcoin ETFs being favored by investors. Additionally, since the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, Bitcoin has risen about 12%, while gold has seen a decline during the same period. This performance has sparked discussions in the market about the safe-haven properties of both assets.Eric Balchunas further stated that it is relatively rare for Bitcoin to strengthen while gold declines in the context of rising geopolitical uncertainty, prompting some investors to rethink the roles of traditional "safe-haven assets" and "digital gold." This raises the question of whether gold has failed to act as a safe haven in the current environment, or conversely, whether Bitcoin is gradually taking on some of the functions of a safe-haven asset. However, there remains a long-term divide in the market, with some analysts believing that gold is still the primary safe-haven asset during traditional crises, while Bitcoin's market performance tends to be more volatile.
