SEC Plans to Launch Tokenized Stock "Innovation Exemption," Allowing 24/7 On-Chain Trading of Stocks Like Apple
Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plans to unveil two crypto-related initiatives in the coming days, while Congress's CLARITY Act remains stalled at least until September. The SEC is expected to propose "Regulation Crypto" at a public meeting on Friday, allowing projects to raise funds through token sales without completing full securities registration. The SEC also plans to introduce an "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks, with details potentially released on Friday. The exemption would allow tokenized versions of stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia to trade on the blockchain 24/7, with support for fractional trading and near-instant settlement. Such tokens typically track the economic exposure of the underlying stock but do not carry voting rights or dividend entitlements. The initiative falls under SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's "Project Crypto" agenda, with Robinhood Chain, Solana, and Base all having advanced related on-chain markets. (Decrypt)

Wintermute: RWA Could Become a New Liquidity Channel for the Next Crypto Bull Run
Odaily News: Wintermute posted on X that the crypto market has rebounded over the past two weeks, with ETF inflows turning positive and stablecoin issuance stabilizing. However, to usher in a full new cycle, the market still needs new sources of capital. Historically, VC and ICO funding in 2017-2018, stablecoins in 2020-2021, and ETFs and digital asset treasury companies in 2024-2025 have all accelerated bull market cycles. RWA could become the next major liquidity channel. Data shows that stablecoin supply grew by over $120 billion within a single year; ETFs recorded cumulative net inflows of $63 billion, while digital asset treasury companies accumulated over $115 billion in holdings.In comparison, RWA attracted approximately $16 billion in capital over the past 12 months—only about one-tenth of the peak scale seen from ETFs and treasury companies in the previous cycle. However, the value of on-chain tokenized assets has roughly doubled within a year to over $30 billion, and this growth continued even during periods of stablecoin supply contraction.Wintermute believes that RWA capital initially flows into traditional assets such as Apple stock and U.S. Treasury funds, rather than directly into crypto assets. But once these funds enter the blockchain, the friction involved in rotating toward Bitcoin, altcoins, and DeFi is expected to decrease significantly. As the regulatory framework gradually becomes clearer and tokenized Treasuries and funds begin gaining acceptance as collateral on trading platforms and within DeFi, RWA could drive a market cycle that unfolds at a more moderate pace and lasts longer.

Stock offering size expanded to $20 billion, with Intel institutional demand reportedly exceeding $100 billion
Odaily News: Citrini analyst jukan posted on X platform, stating that GF Securities Overseas Electronics Newsletter reiterated its Buy rating on Intel with a $136 price target, and believes this stock offering sends a positive signal. The report expects Intel's foundry business to break even in Q4 2027, with margin leverage effects fully reflected by 2028. Yield rates and external customer expansion—especially progress with Apple—are advancing steadily, and the EMIB customer base is also expanding, with customers including Google and AWS. Intel has secured support from substrate supplier Unimicron and will produce silicon capacitors internally. The report raised Intel's expected EPS for 2026 and 2027 by 3% and 1% respectively, maintaining the $136 price target after accounting for dilution effects. Intel expanded its stock offering from the initially planned $15 billion to $20 billion, with institutional demand reportedly exceeding $100 billion. The offering price was $95, and the overallotment option has been fully exercised. CEO Lip-Bu Tan and his family subscribed approximately $12 million at the offering price, which the report believes reflects management's confidence in the company and may support capital expenditure for fiscal year 2027. The report states that Intel reiterated its foundry business will achieve breakeven by the end of 2027; if delayed to 2028, the primary reason would be increased demand for additional investment. The report maintains its previous assessment, expecting 18A yield of approximately 80% in Q2 2026, with CWF already entering the capacity ramp-up phase. External customer collaboration continues to advance, with Apple's 14A high-volume manufacturing being particularly notable. The report raised Intel's back-end business revenue expectations for fiscal years 2027 and 2028 to $1.1 billion and $7 billion respectively, citing improved visibility into AWS Trainium3 adopting EMIB-T in 2027, as well as Google's Humufish and Triggerfish entering production expansion phases from H2 2027 to 2028. The report also expects that AWS and Microsoft ASIC products may adopt EMIB in 2028.

SlowMist: iOS Safari DarkSword Attack Can Steal Wallet Inputs, Zero-Click Trigger with Six-Vulnerability Chain
Odaily News, According to a disclosure by the SlowMist security team, they have detected an attack campaign disguised as a free VPS service, specifically targeting iPhone Safari browsers running iOS versions 18.4 to 18.6.2. The attackers exploited a chain of six vulnerabilities codenamed DarkSword to form a complete attack sequence, covering WebKit remote code execution, sandbox escape, and kernel read/write operations. This allows them to access app container files and keychain data without user awareness, and record keyboard inputs while wallets such as imToken, TokenPocket, or TronLink are in the foreground.The SlowMist team stated that all six aforementioned vulnerabilities have been patched by Apple, and the current attack constitutes reuse of an n-day vulnerability chain. Merely visiting a malicious page does not directly prove that mnemonic phrases or private keys have been stolen, and device forensics is still required for confirmation. iOS/iPadOS users are advised to upgrade their systems to version 18.7.3 or 26.3 and above as soon as possible.
Hackers Exploit macOS Screen Sharing Vulnerability to Gain Root Access and Mine Monero
Odaily News: The Dutch National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has reported that attackers are exploiting a vulnerability in Apple's macOS Screen Sharing feature to take control of devices and install Monero mining programs. Multiple systems with port 5900 exposed to the internet have been compromised, with attackers gaining root access. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-65400, has a severity score of 7.1 out of 10. It stems from a state management error in the authentication process, allowing remote attackers to bypass login verification without valid credentials. Public proof-of-concept code has already been circulated. Apple has addressed the issue in macOS Sequoia 15.7.9, Sonoma 14.8.9, and Tahoe 26.6.1. The NCSC advises users to update their systems promptly and avoid exposing the Screen Sharing service directly to the internet. (Decrypt)

OpenAI Countersues Apple Over Trade Secret Lawsuit: Using Lawsuits to Hinder AI Hardware Competition, Vulnerabilities in Its Own Information Management
According to TechCrunch, OpenAI is countering Apple's lawsuit over alleged trade secret leaks, claiming that Apple's own information security management and employee offboarding processes have vulnerabilities, and that it cannot prove the relevant information constitutes protected trade secrets. Apple previously accused OpenAI of obtaining hardware-related secrets through former employees who joined OpenAI from Apple, and requested the court to expedite the evidence discovery process. In its latest legal filings, OpenAI stated that Apple allows employees to use personal iCloud accounts to process work materials and did not revoke access rights in a timely manner after employees departed. OpenAI states that Apple did not clearly specify the concrete trade secrets alleged to be stolen, but merely referred generally to information such as product development processes, supply chains, and testing. OpenAI argues that Apple's current lawsuit is primarily intended to restrict its development in the AI hardware sector, and denies that the company needs or uses Apple trade secrets. The dispute between the two parties centers on employee mobility, intellectual property protection, and competition in the AI hardware sector.
