According to Digital Asset, Park Soo-young, a member of the Korean National Power Party, criticized the government's plan to tax virtual asset gains, stating that it is "a threat of a tax bomb if one does not invest in the domestic stock market," and demanded an immediate withdrawal.Member Park Soo-young stated on her YouTube channel: "I hope this punitive tax plan that puts 13 million digital asset users in danger can be withdrawn immediately." She added, "This does not mean that people will invest in domestic stocks; on the contrary, it will only accelerate the outflow of national wealth." She cited that approximately 124 trillion won flowed into overseas digital asset exchanges from January to September last year.

According to monitoring by The Data Nerd, a certain whale held 40,000 ETH a week ago, and 2 hours ago withdrew 50,000 ETH from Binance and immediately staked it, increasing the holding size to 90,000 ETH, worth approximately $170 million.

According to CoinDesk, U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune officially submitted a procedural motion for the Clarity Act after an all-night voting session on Saturday morning, initiating the first procedural voting process for the bill in the Senate. This move makes it possible for the Clarity Act to enter procedural voting immediately after the September recess, but the bill has already missed the voting window before the August recess, and passing in September still faces challenges.The Clarity Act requires at least 60 votes in support, and currently needs the backing of at least 10 Democratic senators, but there are still disagreements over the ethical clause that prohibits senior government officials (including President Trump) from participating in cryptocurrency projects. Bipartisan senators have submitted a revised proposal to the White House, but it has been on hold for at least a week without a response. Additionally, controversies surrounding illegal financial protections and stablecoin earnings remain unresolved. If the procedural vote fails in September, the chances of the Clarity Act passing this year will be extremely slim, and the new Congress in 2027 will need to reintroduce the legislation.

According to Decrypt, the Bitcoin payment processing project BTCPay Server has warned users of a serious vulnerability in its servers that is currently under active attack. Attackers may exploit this vulnerability to gain unauthorized access and cause financial loss. Administrators are required to upgrade to version 2.4.2 immediately and confirm that the server footer shows the update is complete.If an upgrade cannot be performed in a timely manner, the official recommendation is for users to temporarily shut down BTCPay Server to prevent further attacks. Additionally, BTCPay Server advises users to change any potentially exposed macaroons credentials, recreate the macaroons.db file, and refresh the authentication strings for other Lightning Network backends.

According to Jinshi reports, UN Secretary-General António Guterres called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Gulf region at the United Nations headquarters in New York, urging the full restoration of international navigation rights and freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz, the Strait of Mandeb, and surrounding areas, and to resolve disputes through diplomatic means.Guterres pointed out that the military escalation in the Gulf region has been ongoing for six months, affecting global stability, leading to a contraction in trade and disruptions in energy markets.

According to Jinshi reports, on July 31, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning responded at a regular press conference to reports about the possibility of the United States taking military action against Cuba. Mao Ning stated that China has repeatedly clarified its position, and the U.S. should immediately stop threatening Cuba with force and cease its unilateral blockade and sanctions against Cuba. China will continue to support Cuba in maintaining its national sovereignty and oppose foreign interference.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Senate on Thursday to pass the Clarity Act, stating that the House of Representatives passed the bill over a year ago, and staff from the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees have since engaged in thousands of hours of bipartisan negotiations on the revisions. Bessent stated that the bill will strengthen consumer protections and anti-money laundering requirements, and provide regulatory certainty for digital assets. He also mentioned that the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act provisions in the Clarity Act will protect decentralized software developers, clarifying that they are not subject to the registration requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act.Bessent criticized Senate Democrats for delaying the vote for political reasons, stating that the relevant vote will determine whether the U.S. continues to maintain its global leadership in digital assets. At the end of his post, he quoted Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto: "If you don't believe me or don't understand, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry." The Clarity Act aims to establish a federal framework for the U.S. digital asset market and allocate regulatory responsibilities for digital assets to the SEC and CFTC, with most crypto assets typically falling under CFTC jurisdiction. Senate Majority Leader John Thune recently stated that the bill is not expected to pass the Senate before the August recess.

According to a report by The Information citing informed sources, a Shanghai state-owned company whose name has not been disclosed has begun producing domestically-made immersion DUV lithography machines, planning to manufacture about 5 units this year and increase to about 20 units by 2027. The first batch of equipment will be delivered to major foundries such as SMIC, Hua Hong Semiconductor, and ChangXin Technology, but the equipment still needs to undergo verification for accuracy, stability, and production line compatibility, a process that may take several months or even longer.Currently, most components of the equipment come from domestic sources, but some key parts still rely on Japan, and the performance and manufacturing quality lag behind ASML. In comparison, ASML is set to deliver about 131 immersion DUV lithography machines as early as 2025. Although domestic equipment has made the leap from prototype testing to small-scale production, there is still a significant gap before it can replace ASML on a large scale. Previously, Reuters reported that the U.S. is considering tightening restrictions on the export of lithography equipment to China and on maintenance services in China, and the delivery of domestic equipment coincides with this backdrop.

The cross-chain interoperability platform Relay Protocol has issued a warning, stating that since the launch of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Robinhood Chain based on Arbitrum on July 1, a large number of honeypot scam tokens have emerged. After users purchase these tokens, they automatically disappear from their wallets, and the funds cannot be recovered. Relay Protocol clarified that this is not due to a breach of wallet infrastructure; users' private keys and other assets remain secure, and the malicious logic exists only within the scam token contracts themselves.The typical operation of honeypot tokens allows users to buy in but prevents selling through hard-coded rules, or automatically transfers funds to the attacker's wallet. Some users have reported that a certain token contract uses hidden storage mappings to bypass standard ERC-20 security checks to steal assets.Relay Protocol stated that it is blocking discovered scam tokens and verifying safe tokens, advising users to only trade tokens verified by trusted sources, to verify contract addresses before trading, and to test with small amounts of funds first. The platform pointed out that attracting scammers in the early stages of a new chain launch is not an issue unique to Robinhood Chain; similar situations have occurred with other L1 and L2 chains upon their launch.

According to Jinshi, U.S. President Trump stated that the Supreme Court remanded the case regarding the qualifications of Federal Reserve Board member Cook to a lower court solely on procedural grounds. He emphasized that appropriate action would be taken immediately to ensure that those who have committed misconduct do not continue to make decisions on significant matters concerning the welfare of the United States.

Taiko posted on platform X that it has confirmed the chain state verification mechanism of Taiko has been compromised, and the security assumptions of all cross-chain bridges deployed on Taiko are no longer reliable.Taiko is coordinating with the security committee and ecosystem partners to control the situation, suspend affected systems, and take technical and legal action. Taiko strongly advises all users to immediately withdraw funds from all cross-chain bridges deployed on Taiko.Taiko urgently requests all centralized exchanges to suspend TAIKO token deposits until further notice. The attacker's address has been disclosed. Previously, it was reported that the Taiko ERC20 Vault was attacked, resulting in losses exceeding $1 million.

According to Jinshi reports, the United States and Iran announced an immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. The United States will fully end its maritime blockade against Iran within 30 days.

The advisory committee of cryptographic experts led by Coinbase has released a report stating that Bitcoin should immediately begin preparing for potential quantum computing attacks. However, the committee did not take a clear stance on whether to freeze the millions of Bitcoins that could potentially be stolen by quantum computing in the future.It is reported that the committee members include several leading experts, such as Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, who believe that the current focus of the debate is not on how to introduce quantum-resistant signature technology, but rather on how to handle the Bitcoins that have not been migrated for a long time. One viewpoint calls for setting a deadline, after which the existing ECDSA and Schnorr signature schemes for Bitcoin will cease to be supported, and un-migrated assets will be frozen to prevent future quantum attackers from acquiring large amounts of BTC and impacting the market. Another viewpoint argues that this amounts to asset confiscation, contradicting Bitcoin's core principles of "immutability and user complete control of assets," and could set a precedent for freezing assets in the future due to regulatory pressure.The Coinbase advisory committee pointed out that the aforementioned proposals are not mutually exclusive and can be combined, but it refused to take a position on the issue of "whether to freeze legacy BTC," believing that the final decision should be governed by the Bitcoin community. At the same time, it emphasized two points: first, the technical development of quantum-resistant signature migration should be initiated immediately and should not wait for the governance debate to conclude; second, it is necessary to clearly communicate risk information to users to avoid long-term uncertainty affecting the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Trump stated that the upcoming U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding requires the immediate restoration of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz without charging tolls, and gradually granting sanctions exemptions based on Iran's compliance. The agreement aims to extend the ceasefire for 60 days, covering Lebanon, and advance nuclear negotiations during this period.Reports indicate that the U.S. and Iran have reached an agreement on the text of the agreement, but it still requires final approval. The memorandum includes a framework for addressing Iran's enriched uranium stockpile issue, with Iran committing not to seek nuclear weapons; related nuclear arrangements still need to be implemented through subsequent, more detailed agreements.Additionally, the agreement requires the Strait of Hormuz to restore pre-war shipping levels within 30 days. In exchange, the U.S. will lift relevant blockade measures and allow Iran to resume oil exports within a certain timeframe. If Iran continues to comply and demonstrates "good faith" in subsequent negotiations, the scope of sanctions exemptions will be further expanded.

According to Decrypt, the Coinbase Quantum Advisory Board released a report calling for blockchain developers to immediately begin preparations for quantum migration, warning that unresolved issues with abandoned and vulnerable tokens could become one of the biggest challenges for Bitcoin.The report estimates that approximately 7 million Bitcoins are vulnerable to future quantum attacks due to public key exposure and address reuse. Although there are currently no quantum computers capable of breaking blockchain encryption, the likelihood of relevant quantum computers emerging as early as 2030 is high.The report proposes three handling options for tokens that have not migrated to quantum-safe addresses: permanently freeze or destroy them after a set deadline; take no action and let users decide; or adopt a compromise measure, such as limiting the number of vulnerable tokens that can be moved per block, or allowing users to pre-commit to migration.The Ethereum Foundation has formed a team to coordinate the post-quantum security transition, and Vitalik Buterin developed a quantum upgrade roadmap in February. The Stellar Development Foundation announced a roadmap for user migration to quantum-safe encryption on Tuesday.

Gate Direct IPO's first project officially launches SpaceX, providing users with a new option to participate in globally popular IPO investment opportunities. Through the Gate platform, users submit intention applications and receive corresponding spot stocks after the company officially lists, achieving a seamless connection from IPO application to stock trading. Compared to traditional IPO processes, Gate Direct IPO significantly lowers the participation threshold, eliminating the need for complex cross-border account openings and multi-platform operations. After the company completes its IPO, the platform will distribute stocks directly to users' spot stock accounts after the company officially goes public, realizing an investment experience of "immediate allocation upon listing, stocks delivered directly to accounts."As one of the most watched commercial space companies globally, SpaceX has long attracted attention from the capital market due to its reusable rockets, Starlink satellite internet, and future space economy layout. After the IPO allocation ends, stocks will be directly distributed to Gate stock accounts on June 12, allowing users to hold and trade real U.S. stocks without needing to open additional accounts. This launch also marks Gate's further integration of the complete investment chain from Pre-IPO, IPO to stock trading, providing users with more efficient and convenient global asset allocation services.
