Microsoft Threat Intelligence posted on the X platform that a cluster of compromised websites has been found using ClickFix and EtherHiding technologies to spread malware, with attacks targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices worldwide every day.Attackers inject Base64 encoded JavaScript to connect to the BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway, obtaining the next stage instructions stored by smart contracts. Since the contract content can only be modified by the deployer's wallet, traditional takedown methods are difficult to counter. The attack deceives users into opening a run dialog box with fake verification codes, pasting clipboard content, and executing commands from the attacker, while also involving the abuse of various system tools such as conhost, cmd, PowerShell, and mshta, as well as command obfuscation techniques. Successful execution may lead to credential exposure, persistence establishment, lateral movement, and even ransomware attacks.Microsoft recommends that enterprises enable Defender's multi-layer protection, restrict command line tools, enable PowerShell script logging, and remind users not to paste commands from unknown sources into the run window or terminal for execution.

According to Daum, the South Korean stock market has recently experienced increased volatility, with investors' risk appetite significantly cooling, and funds are flowing back from the stock market to safer assets such as banks. Due to adjustments in the semiconductor sector and stricter regulations on leveraged investments, the funds waiting to be invested in the South Korean stock market are rapidly withdrawing, leading to a phenomenon of "reverse capital migration."Data shows that by the end of July, the balance of time deposits at the five major banks in South Korea (KB Kookmin, Shinhan, Hana, Woori, NH Nonghyup) reached 973.49 trillion won, an increase of 24.09 trillion won compared to the end of the previous month, marking the largest monthly increase this year.There has also been a noticeable contraction in funds around the stock market. Data from the Korea Financial Investment Association shows that the deposits in investors' securities accounts (funds waiting to be invested in stock trading) reached a historical high of 139.69 trillion won on June 4, but had fallen to 107.20 trillion won by July 28, a decrease of over 32 trillion won in less than two months. The balance of credit trading financing, which represents the scale of market financing transactions, also dropped to 33.19 trillion won during the same period, down approximately 4.5 trillion won from the peak of 37.72 trillion won recorded on July 2, a decrease of about 12%.

According to The Block, the Japanese listed company Metaplanet has acquired Siiibo Securities, which holds a type of financial product business license, and is authorized to design and sell securities in Japan.Research firm Benchmark pointed out that the market generally views this acquisition of approximately 2.1 billion yen (about 13 million USD) as a small-scale expansion. However, Metaplanet actually plans to use this as a basis to issue Bitcoin collateralized bonds called "Bitbonds" with an annualized interest rate of about 4% to 6%, and subsequently migrate to the blockchain and settle through stablecoins, gradually forming a secondary market. Metaplanet aims to allow companies wishing to adopt a Bitcoin balance sheet strategy to issue bonds on its platform to purchase BTC, and under the "Project Nova" roadmap, to create a new type of financial institution centered around Bitcoin. Currently, the company holds approximately 43,000 BTC, making it the third largest Bitcoin treasury among publicly listed companies globally.

The Ethereum staking protocol Lido stated on platform X that the stETH Rebase has been completed as expected, and the missed ETH earnings due to insufficient calculations have been compensated, corresponding to an annual percentage rate (APR) of approximately 2.29%. At the same time, the protocol's oracle has been updated and passed the audit, with the new version improving report processing speed and helping to quickly identify the cause of similar issues in the future.Regarding the abnormal earnings calculation that occurred, Lido stated that contributors are currently conducting a root cause analysis, and more investigation details will be announced on the official forum and social media platforms. Throughout the entire incident, user funds have not faced any risk. The preliminary judgment is that the issue may stem from a special edge case: a validator in a pending deposit state was omitted from the earnings report, resulting in some staking earnings not being included in the calculations. Lido stated that a complete post-mortem report will be released in the coming days to further explain the cause of the issue, corrective measures, and subsequent improvement plans.

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated that, given the short-selling interest in SATA tokens has increased by about 1 million shares in the past 30 days, and the borrowing cost has currently reached about a 70% annualized rate, the company is seeking market feedback to explore whether it should suspend the strategy of issuing new SATA tokens at a fixed price of $100, instead allowing the market to determine its liquidation price.Cole pointed out that although $100 remains the target price, some investors believe that Strive will continue to issue additional tokens at that price point, thereby creating an invisible ceiling. Retaining issuance flexibility will increase the risks and costs of short-selling SATA, and while it may exacerbate market volatility in the short term, it aims to reduce long-term volatility and curb speculative short-selling.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau jointly announced that the first phase review on promoting the further application of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) in Hong Kong's fixed income market has been completed.The review results indicate that the current legal and regulatory environment in Hong Kong is sufficiently flexible to support the issuance of tokenized bonds. The three batches of iconic tokenized bonds issued by the Hong Kong government and the increasing number of corporate issuances (including those from issuers in Asia and the Middle East) are the best evidence of this. The next phase will involve a review of the legislation to promote the broader application of DLT in the fixed income market and the digital asset sector, including allowing the electronic execution of tokenized bond issuance documents and exploring concepts such as "custody" and "transfer" of tokenized fixed income products.

It offers an actively managed short-duration corporate bond portfolio, with a current yield of approximately 7%.Unlike most tokenized products on the market, Baillie Gifford's Head of Digital Assets Theo Golden emphasized that BAGEY is not a traditional fund wrapped in a token shell, but rather a fund issued directly on-chain, with the blockchain itself serving as the rights registry, allowing investors to directly hold shares and enjoy direct recourse.BNY will provide tokenization and wallet infrastructure for the fund, with NatWest acting as the custodian. The Global Head of Investor Solutions at BNY stated that this issuance marks the transition of tokenization from concept to real application, as regulated fund structures evolve towards a more digital and interconnected market.
