According to the Wall Street Journal, Nvidia has suspended some transactions in its new financing plan. This plan aims to provide credit support to AI cloud companies in exchange for revenue sharing. Insiders say that the chip giant withdrew from the related arrangements last week but may adjust the plan in the future or incorporate it into other projects.A Nvidia spokesperson stated that the new business model aimed at the rapidly growing AI ecosystem and open computing power access is still progressing and continues to evolve due to strong demand. The plan was announced less than two months ago, intending to support the financing needs of small AI cloud companies: if customers cannot sell computing power, Nvidia can lease back the relevant computing power, acting as a guarantee buyer, thereby facilitating companies in raising funds to purchase Nvidia AI chips; Nvidia would then share cloud revenue generated by customers based on its chips, in addition to hardware sales.Nvidia stated in this week's earnings call that this model is expected to contribute billions of dollars in revenue in the medium to long term. However, recent investor scrutiny regarding its capital flow back to the AI ecosystem has increased, raising concerns that so-called circular transactions may inflate demand. Reports indicate that some employees had expressed antitrust concerns to customers; in the early stages of the plan, Nvidia also faced dissatisfaction from some potential partners due to attempts to limit chip rental targets, preferring to distribute to multiple small customers rather than a single large customer, and requiring a 50% revenue share after reaching a certain threshold.

NVIDIA's Chief Financial Officer stated that the company is introducing a revenue-sharing mechanism, which includes a "no questions asked" commitment and a minimum revenue guarantee.

On August 26, according to the Korea Herald, South Korean cryptocurrency exchange operator Dunamu has been designated by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety as a "Joint Utilization Agency for Administrative Information," becoming the first cryptocurrency exchange operator in South Korea to obtain this qualification. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety completed on-site inspections and qualification reviews in May of this year and made the designation decision this month.Dunamu plans to use this system for user identity verification (KYC), reducing the process of users repeatedly submitting proof materials by accessing relevant administrative information, thereby improving the efficiency of account opening and account verification.

According to the Netherlands National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NL), attackers are exploiting a serious authentication vulnerability CVE-2026-65400 in the macOS screen sharing feature to target Mac devices exposed to the internet. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.8, allowing attackers to bypass authentication and gain system root access without valid credentials.NCSC-NL stated that multiple reports of active exploitation have been received, with the affected devices' port 5900 being directly accessible from the internet. In the currently confirmed cases, attackers have successfully obtained root access and deployed Monero (XMR) mining programs on the infected Mac devices. Apple has recently patched the vulnerability through macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Sequoia 15.7.9, and Sonoma 14.8.9. Security Affairs reminds users who have screen sharing enabled and have not yet updated their systems to complete the upgrade as soon as possible; if updating is temporarily not possible, they should disable the screen sharing feature to avoid exposing port 5900 to the internet.

The AQAv2 stablecoin model protocol of Hyperliquid has previously received support from 19 out of 26 validators, and the relevant mechanism is expected to officially start accruing yields on August 26. Meanwhile, Circle has transferred approximately $4.4 billion USDC to Coinbase via the AQAv2 mechanism on HyperEVM, setting a record for the largest single USDC transfer on HyperEVM.If everything proceeds as planned, the yields generated by AQAv2 will begin accruing on August 26, with the first payment expected to enter the Assistance Fund on October 3. AQAv2 (Aligned Quote Asset v2) is a stablecoin mechanism announced by Hyperliquid in May this year, allowing stablecoins, including USDC, which are not exclusively issued by Hyperliquid, to qualify as "Aligned." According to public information, most of the stablecoin yields from AQAv2 will be returned to the Hyperliquid ecosystem, with 90% of the yields allocated to the relevant mechanism, and subsequently, 100% used for the buyback and destruction of HYPE tokens.Coinbase has been designated as the fund deployment party, while Circle is responsible for technical deployment, and both parties will also stake HYPE to participate in the mechanism. The mechanism previously required stablecoins to be exclusive assets of Hyperliquid, but AQAv2 has removed this restriction and will focus on the HIP-4 standardized market and the perpetual contract market operated by validators. According to relevant public disclosures, AQAv2 is expected to generate up to approximately $200 million in revenue and further enhance token value capture through the HYPE buyback and destruction mechanism.

According to The Hacker News, the Netherlands National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has warned that a recently patched severe authentication vulnerability (CVE-2026-65400, CVSS score 9.8) in Apple's macOS screen sharing component has been exploited in the wild, allowing attackers to access Macs exposed to the internet (port 5900) and implant Monero mining software without valid credentials.Apple has fixed the vulnerability with an emergency update on August 6, alongside macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Sequoia 15.7.9, and Sonoma 14.8.9, by enhancing credential verification through improved state management. The NCSC confirmed that in multiple attacks, the attackers gained root access and deployed mining software. Security researcher @osxreverser disclosed another pre-authentication vulnerability in the same component (also patched in 26.6), which allows bypassing password authentication with just the target IP, without needing a username.According to Calif, researchers developed usable attack programs for both vulnerabilities using AI in just 4 hours, demonstrating that AI is significantly shortening the time from vulnerability discovery to the development of attack code. Users are advised to update their systems immediately; if unable to update, they should disable the screen sharing feature.

The Solana ecosystem lending protocol Jupiter launched Lend v2 on Monday, allowing deposit and borrowing positions to simultaneously act as trading liquidity, enabling users to earn lending interest and exchange fee sharing from the same funds.This product introduces optional Smart Collateral and Smart Debt features, which automatically pair assets to correlated liquidity pools. When traders route exchanges through these pools, deposit users' yields can be enhanced, and borrowing costs can be offset.In correlated pools, even if one stablecoin depegs, borrowers are still protected; however, collateral providers will bear the losses of any asset. Jupiter limits this design to stablecoin trading pairs and trading pairs composed of SOL and its staked versions to mitigate correlated risks.

On July 17, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot submitted Bill No. 921 to the Senate, proposing to incorporate the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) into French law and to automatically exchange encrypted data with 48 countries that have signed related agreements.The exchanged information includes specific transactions, user names, addresses, tax identification numbers, places of residence, and the cumulative transaction value during the reporting period. EU member states have prepared to conduct relevant data exchanges based on the DAC-8 directive, which will take effect on September 30, 2027. After the bill is approved, the French government will accelerate the collection of encrypted data. A Chainalysis report indicates that by 2026, France had recorded 30 publicly known violent robberies of crypto assets; the report states that a tax official in the Paris region is suspected of selling data on high-net-worth crypto holders.
