According to the "Procuratorial Daily," Lin, Zeng, and Dai conspired to use virtual currency trading as a pretext. During the trading process, they secretly filmed the victim's digital wallet private key and, after the virtual currency was credited, secretly logged into the victim's wallet to reverse the transaction, transferring the related virtual currency back to their controlled accounts. The three committed the crime three times, causing the victim a total economic loss of 660,000 yuan.The first-instance court held that in the absence of a clear judicial interpretation regarding the valuation method of virtual currency and sentencing standards, it was inappropriate to directly determine the amount involved as particularly huge based on the victim's purchase amount of 660,000 yuan. Therefore, they sentenced the three based on "other serious circumstances," imposing prison terms ranging from eight years to five years and six months, along with fines. The Hanyang District Procuratorate of Wuhan City in Hubei Province subsequently filed an appeal, which was supported by the Wuhan City Procuratorate.The prosecution argued that the first-instance court applied the law incorrectly and imposed an excessively light sentence. Prosecutor Dai Wentao of the Wuhan City Procuratorate stated that in the case where the victim had a clear loss amount to refer to, it was contradictory and legally erroneous to claim that the value of virtual currency could not be determined. In judicial practice, using the resale price and transaction price as the basis for determining the amount of theft has become mainstream, and determining the value of virtual currency based on the actual cost paid by the victim has factual, legal, and practical basis.The Intermediate Court of Wuhan accepted the prosecution's opinion in the second instance, revoked the corresponding content of the original judgment, and changed the determination of the theft amount to particularly huge. It sentenced the principal offender Lin to ten years and six months in prison for theft, and sentenced the accomplices Zeng and Dai to eight years in prison each, along with fines.

SlowMist has issued a security alert, detecting an active npm supply chain attack targeting @redhat-cloud-services related packages. Currently, over 31 packages have been confirmed affected, with a weekly download volume of approximately 116,000 times, and stolen credentials exist in more than 300 GitHub repositories. This attack method is highly similar to the previous "Shai-Hulud" npm attack, including credential theft, creation of malicious repositories, and automated secret leakage. New suspicious repositories continue to emerge, indicating that the attack is still ongoing, and developers are still being continuously infected.Potential harms include: theft of GitHub/npm tokens, leakage of AWS/GCP/Azure cloud credentials, collection of SSH keys and Kubernetes secrets, leakage of local environment and wallet data, creation of malicious repositories and persistence operations, and even potentially destructive actions after tokens are revoked. It is recommended to immediately remove or downgrade affected @redhat-cloud-services package versions, conduct a comprehensive audit of CI/CD workflows and dependency installations, rotate all GitHub, npm, cloud service, SSH, and wallet-related keys, retain logs, and rebuild exposed developer machines or Runners from clean images while maintaining a high level of vigilance.

According to The Defiant, approximately $220 million of unfrozen funds from the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge attack has been almost entirely laundered by hackers. On-chain analyst Arkham Intelligence tracking shows that only about $1.7 million remains in the original attacker's wallet. This hacker is linked to North Korea and previously launched a $292 million cross-chain bridge attack on LayerZero in April.Funds were transferred using privacy tools such as THORChain, Wasabi, Tornado Cash, and Umbra. The approximately $71 million in Ethereum frozen by the Arbitrum security council on April 20 is currently the only recoverable portion. A report released by LayerZero on May 18 attributed the attack to the North Korean group TraderTraitor. Kelp has recovered approximately 116,000 rsETH by migrating to Chainlink CCIP and the DeFi United program, while the Aave security module absorbed about $190 million in bad debt.

According to The Block, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) announced that its "Project Agorá" tokenization prototype has successfully verified the feasibility of atomic settlement for cross-border wholesale transactions. The prototype employs a layered architecture, utilizing tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits to achieve "all or nothing" transaction chain execution across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, while allowing central banks to retain operational autonomy.Legal analysis shows that finality of settlement can be achieved in all seven participating jurisdictions, and privacy protection can also be ensured within a compliant framework. The project is jointly initiated by the BIS and the International Financial Association, with participation from seven central banks including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Bank of England, the Bank of France, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of Korea, the Bank of Mexico, and the Swiss National Bank, as well as over 40 private financial institutions. In the next phase, the Bank of Canada will officially join as the eighth central bank member, and the project will advance to the real value testing stage, further expanding private sector participation.

Analyst Murphy stated that by observing the "short-term capital on-chain activity weight" (i.e., the proportion of the dollar value represented by short-term chip turnover) as an on-chain indicator, we can assess the current BTC market status. This indicator reflects the latest short-term trading behaviors such as speculation, arbitrage, profit-taking, or panic selling. Currently, this weight has dropped to historically low levels, appearing only in the bottom regions of bear markets over the past 15 years, indicating a significant cooling of short-term turnover, with economic value shifting towards long-term chip accumulation. The market is characterized by low volatility, consolidation, or clear bottom features.The analyst judges that based on this, the current market may be in one of three stages: bear market bottom; secondary bottom, which may still have one last drop; or consolidation before the bull market starts. However, under rational judgment, the pre-bull consolidation can be temporarily ruled out. It is currently not recommended to fully bet on a single scenario; a diversified position strategy is advised to cope with different outcomes, as the relative position of the long-term trend has indicated that Bitcoin is near the bottom.

The TON Network expansion project TAC has disclosed that a security incident occurred with the TON-TAC asset bridge on May 11. Four days later, approximately 80% of the affected assets have been returned. TAC today released a post-incident analysis report detailing the events. The root cause of the vulnerability was a lack of a single verification in the sorter software: the attacker deployed a counterfeit Jetton wallet on TON, and the sorter accepted the counterfeit tokens because it did not verify the code hash of the sender's wallet. The total loss was approximately $2.86 million, involving USDT, BLUM, and tsTON. Following a public appeal, about 90% of the assets were returned to the multi-signature address controlled by TAC on May 14, with the remaining 10% retained by the attacker.The cross-chain bridge remains paused, awaiting independent review of the repaired sorter software by the auditing party and TON partners. Cross-chain operations will resume once the verification of the repaired software is completed and the gap is filled with recovered assets and TAC Foundation token reserves. Due to the need for multi-party coordination, a precise timeline cannot be provided. The remaining funding gap will be filled by the TAC Foundation treasury, ensuring that users and protocols incur no financial losses. TAC reminds users that official updates are only published through this account and Telegram, and any unsolicited "recovery" or "support" private messages are scams.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England (BOE) jointly launched a public consultation on Monday, seeking industry input on the regulation, infrastructure, and market practices of tokenized wholesale financial markets in the UK. This consultation is part of the UK's digital finance market strategy, focusing on tokenized securities and post-trade infrastructure, covering areas such as prudential regulation, tokenized collateral, and settlement tools. Regulators stated that there are significant opportunities in the post-trade processes and collateral management areas for tokenization. The consultation targets banks, investment firms, asset management institutions, central securities depositories (CSD), central counterparty clearing houses (CCP), trading platforms, fintech companies, and others. The current scope mainly involves tokenized bonds, stocks, and fund shares, with potential future expansion. Market participants can submit feedback by July 3. The FCA and the Bank of England plan to publish a feedback document in the summer of 2026 and launch a roadmap for the development of the digital wholesale market within the year.Meanwhile, UK regulators are advancing the "digital securities sandbox" program, with 16 companies having passed the first phase of review and currently testing the issuance, trading, and settlement of tokenized securities. Additionally, the Bank of England has separately released a consultation document on extending the operating hours of the RTGS and CHAPS systems, planning to gradually move towards a near 7×24 hour operating model, with the goal of launching synchronized settlement services by 2028 to support tokenized assets as collateral for central bank operations and central counterparty use.
