According to SlowMist monitoring, the decentralized finance protocol Lien Finance suffered an attack. The attacker exploited a smart contract vulnerability to mint unbacked bond tokens and stole approximately $542,000 worth of USDC. Leveraging this vulnerability, the attacker successfully minted new, non-anomalous BondTokens without burning the corresponding input bonds. Subsequently, the attacker exchanged the tokens for USDC via a pre-authorized address, ultimately transferring approximately 542,144.63 USDC from the victim's address. Analysis indicates that the incident was essentially caused by a verification flaw in the bond token exchange logic, which allowed the attacker to bypass asset collateral constraints and mint unsupported assets.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated in an Axios interview that distillation (AI learning from other AI) is the foundation of intelligence, that it is good that AI can learn, and that smarter AI is also safer. He predicts that in the coming years, 99% of internet content may be generated by AI, and AI systems will continuously distill knowledge and intelligence from other AI. Previously, there was controversy in the industry over whether open-source models should be allowed to distill closed-source models; Jensen Huang's statement supports open learning paths.
the long-awaited digital asset regulatory bill, the CLARITY Act, has hit a snag in its advancement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated that the Senate is not expected to pass the bill before the August recess.The CLARITY Act aims to establish a clearer regulatory framework for digital assets, promoting the integration of blockchain and crypto assets into the mainstream financial system. Previously, the bill had undergone multiple rounds of negotiations between the crypto industry and opposing forces, such as the banking sector, and was once considered close to passage.However, recent controversy surrounding conflicts of interest related to President Donald Trump and his family's involvement in crypto projects has emerged as a new obstacle. Democrats are demanding the inclusion of ethical clauses in the bill that would restrict government officials from profiting from crypto transactions, a stance Republicans have previously opposed. Prediction market data indicates that the probability of the CLARITY Act passing this year has significantly declined. Polymarket data shows that as of Friday, the probability stood at approximately 37%, well below the over 80% level seen earlier this spring.Crypto policy organizations and industry insiders believe the current delay is largely influenced by the political dynamics of the U.S. midterm elections. Ron Hammond, Head of Policy and Advocacy at Wintermute, stated that the votes to support the bill may still exist, but "election politics are louder." He suggested that a window for advancing the bill could still emerge after the November elections.Analysts point out that if Congress needs to prioritize major issues such as government funding and national defense before the end of its current term, the CLARITY Act could be further marginalized. As the U.S. political landscape may shift following the midterm elections, the outlook for crypto regulatory legislation remains highly uncertain. (Fortune)

According to Cointelegraph, BitMEX was sued in a class-action lawsuit by BKX Services Inc. and David Namdar in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 24. The plaintiffs allege that BitMEX's internal trading team used privileged access during server freezes to illegally obtain customer Bitcoin collateral by manipulating the forced liquidation mechanism. The two plaintiffs suffered a combined loss of 622.66 BTC (BKX lost at least 305.81 BTC, and Namdar lost over 316.85 BTC). The plaintiffs demand the return of the seized Bitcoin and seek compensatory and punitive damages, representing U.S. users who purchased BTC swap products since July 23, 2018. Notably, the lawsuit was filed on the same day as the announcement of BitMEX's closure—BitMEX's parent company HDR Global Trading announced it will cease services on September 23 and has stopped accepting new user registrations. Following the announcement, the price of its BMEX token plummeted by approximately 90%.
OdailyOdailyOdaily News: The Wisconsin Election Commission has stated that residents who purchase contracts related to a specific election on Kalshi or Polymarket may lose their eligibility to vote in that same election. The Commission also noted that knowingly voting without being eligible could constitute a Class I felony. The Commission unanimously approved a legal memorandum regarding prediction markets during a meeting on July 9, and issued a statewide notice on Tuesday. The restrictions apply only to the corresponding election and do not automatically affect a trader's voting eligibility in other unrelated elections. Benjamin Freeman, Head of Election Business at Kalshi, stated that the guidance is "clearly unconstitutional and unlawful," adding that the company has hundreds of thousands of users in Wisconsin alone. Robert DeNault, Head of Enforcement and Legal Counsel at Kalshi, said that election markets certified by the CFTC and offered on federally regulated exchanges are legal. A spokesperson for Polymarket stated that the company would respond to the Commission's claims through appropriate legal proceedings. Both companies argue that their products are tradable financial contracts, not gambling.
The PPP Prediction Market Tool monitors that in the Polymarket prediction event "When will the US and Iran achieve a two-week ceasefire," the probability for August 14 is currently 34%, down 1% in a week; the probability for August 31 is currently 51%, down 3% in a week.According to the resolution rules, if at any point between the market creation and the specified deadline (Eastern Time 23:59), there begins a consecutive 14-day period during which the US does not conduct qualifying military actions against Iran, the market will resolve to "Yes." Qualifying military actions refer to airstrikes or surface-to-surface missile attacks initiated by the US that directly strike targets within Iranian territory.It is reported that the US military has conducted strikes against Iranian military targets for the 13th consecutive night, and Iran has rejected the ceasefire proposal put forward by Trump. Neither side has yet signaled de-escalation in the short term. However, according to sources close to the matter, Trump has become increasingly frustrated with the protracted war, while his advisors worry that the conflict has driven up prices, hurt approval ratings, and resulted in the deaths of over a dozen US soldiers. This continues to drain the political capital of the Trump administration and could further impact the Republican Party's prospects in the midterm elections.Join the PPP Signal Push Community, stay ahead and seize the opportunity.

According to TechFlow Research, Bank of America's July 22 report pointed out that NVIDIA and AMD are engaged in a battle for definition in the Agent CPU field. NVIDIA unveiled the Vera CPU architecture last week, featuring 88 custom ARM cores and 1.2TB/s memory bandwidth, arguing that single-core performance determines agent response speed, emphasizing "faster". AMD responded at Thursday's AI Day, stating that its EPYC 9965 rack-level throughput in a 100kW deployment is already 2.4 times that of Vera, arguing that concurrent throughput determines production-grade AI efficiency, emphasizing "more". BofA believes the underlying thread of the x86 vs ARM battle is equally critical; the decades of optimization barriers of x86 in the enterprise software stack cannot be replaced overnight. BofA expects AMD will redefine metrics rather than compete on benchmarks; the real winner is the one that can get the industry to accept its framework. BofA maintains Buy ratings for NVIDIA and AMD, with price targets of $350 and $620 respectively, believing this is not a zero-sum game, both can win, just via different paths.
