Odaily News, Web3 security company CertiK has released its "2026 State of Digital Asset Regulation" report, systematically reviewing global regulatory trends. The report indicates that as of April 2026, regulatory frameworks in major jurisdictions such as the United States, the European Union, Hong Kong SAR, and Singapore have been largely established, and the industry is entering a phase of comprehensive compliance.The report shows that anti-money laundering (AML) enforcement has replaced securities classification as the primary regulatory risk. In the first half of 2025, global AML-related fines exceeded $900 million, making transaction monitoring capabilities a core compliance requirement. Meanwhile, smart contract security audits are evolving from industry best practices into access conditions, becoming a prerequisite for license approval and token listings. Additionally, global stablecoin regulatory frameworks are converging, with principles such as full reserve backing and licensed issuance becoming widespread, though cross-jurisdictional regulatory differences still pose compliance challenges.The report states that with regulatory convergence and strengthened enforcement, the industry has entered an "era of strong compliance." CertiK indicated that the core challenge for enterprises is shifting from "whether to comply" to "how to quickly build and implement compliance capabilities." Multi-jurisdictional licensing, AML investment, and continuous security audits are becoming fundamental entry requirements for institutional development.

Axelar Network stated that the hacker attack and theft of funds undermine users’ overall trust in blockchain systems and slow down the adoption of the global ledger it envisions. Axelar expressed its support for the LayerZero team in navigating this difficult situation and rebuilding trust. Regarding this approximately $290 million attack, Axelar emphasized that—pending final forensic findings—the incident once again highlights the need for multi-layered security in cross-chain bridge construction. This includes ensuring operational security for bridge operators, validators, and validating nodes; providing proper incentives and training; and removing validators whose technical capabilities are not adequately demonstrated. Additionally, operators must be sufficiently numerous, structurally heterogeneous, diverse, and geographically distributed to prevent ultimate control by a single entity.

Odaily News Google DeepMind has released Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6, positioned as a high-level reasoning model for robots. Compared to its predecessor ER 1.5 and Gemini 3.0 Flash, it shows significant improvements in spatial reasoning and multi-view understanding. The model is now available to developers via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. The core upgrades include three key capabilities:1. Enhanced pointing accuracy: Can be used for precise object detection, counting, spatial relationship reasoning (e.g., "point to all objects that can fit into the blue cup"), and motion trajectory planning. It can also correctly refuse to point to objects that do not exist in the scene.2. Multi-view success detection: Robots can now integrate views from multiple camera feeds to determine if a task is completed, maintaining accuracy even in occluded or dynamic environments.3. New instrument reading capability: Can interpret various industrial instruments such as circular pressure gauges, vertical level indicators, and digital displays. It achieves step-by-step reasoning through agentic vision (visual reasoning + code execution): first zooming in on detail areas, then calculating proportions and intervals via pointing and code, and finally combining world knowledge to derive the reading.
