Bitget has officially launched the 2026 Global Anti-Fraud Month in June, with the theme "More Assets, Stronger Protection: Safely Navigating the Multi-Asset Era". As crypto assets, tokenized stocks, AI-related products, and others converge on the same platform, the security challenges users face have far surpassed those of the single-asset era. This marks the third consecutive year Bitget has initiated this security campaign, aiming to help users enhance risk awareness in the multi-asset era.According to Interpol data, financial fraud related to the global multi-asset market caused losses exceeding $442 billion in 2025. As tokenized financial products accelerate their entry into mainstream trading environments, fraudulent methods have expanded from traditional phishing and SMS impersonation to new scenarios like AI-generated scams, identity manipulation, and malicious smart contracts. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that as financial systems become more interconnected, it is necessary to help users better identify risks.During the Anti-Fraud Month, Bitget will release a series of security educational articles and video content, delving into new fraud trends in the AI and RWA sectors. In the later phase of the campaign, it will collaborate with on-chain security agencies, RWA institutions, and AI industry partners to publish joint anti-fraud reports on multi-asset trading and AI financial risks, further expanding the reach of user protection and risk education.
According to The Block, Base—the Ethereum Layer 2 network operated by Coinbase—has officially activated the Azul upgrade on its mainnet. This marks Base’s first independent network upgrade following its separation from the Optimism Superchain. The Azul upgrade introduces a multi-proof system that combines TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) proofs with zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, reducing the shortest possible withdrawal finalization time to just one day. Both proof types can independently confirm proposals; in case of conflict, permissionless ZK proofs override TEE proofs—further enhancing the network’s censorship resistance. Additionally, Azul integrates Base into a single execution client, <code>base-reth-node</code>, and introduces a new consensus client, <code>base-consensus</code>, built on OP Kona. Following the upgrade, the number of empty blocks has plummeted from approximately 200 per day to roughly 2 per day, and the network has achieved a sustained peak throughput of 5,000 transactions per second.
Decentralized USDD announced that its yield-bearing token, sUSDD, has officially launched on Pendle’s Ethereum-chain 91-day fixed-yield market—marking another breakthrough for USDD in DeFi yield scenarios and capital efficiency strategies.

During the campaign, YT users can share over $300,000 in incentives; combined with Pendle’s official 30% exclusive reward, participants also stand a chance to receive random TRX airdrops. The official team stated that it will continue exploring diversified yield opportunities to effectively meet market liquidity demand and further integrate USDD deeply into the mainstream DeFi ecosystem.

Odaily Odaily News: A recent report released by Gate Research Institute, titled "Research and Backtesting Analysis of BTC Trading Framework Based on Multi-Agent LLM," points out that compared to a single LLM directly generating trading signals, the Multi-Agent LLM architecture more closely mirrors the research and investment process of real financial institutions. By leveraging collaboration and debate among analysts, researchers, traders, and risk control teams, it enhances the transparency and risk control capabilities of trading decisions. The research, based on the TradingAgents framework, constructs an AI trading system applicable to the crypto scenario for the BTC market, introducing multiple agent roles such as technical analysis, news analysis, sentiment analysis, and macro/on-chain analysis.Using BTC/USDT 1-hour data, the study conducted historical backtesting of the TradingAgents-BTC strategy. The results show that the strategy achieved a total return of +20.25% during the testing period, significantly outperforming the Buy & Hold strategy's -7.89% over the same period. Furthermore, its maximum drawdown was controlled at -17.41%, lower than the Buy & Hold's -27.06%. The research suggests that during periods of consolidation and decline, the multi-agent framework can reduce some risk exposure through Sell/Underweight and Flat states, and re-enter long positions during market rebounds, thereby improving overall risk-adjusted returns.The report indicates that the Multi-Agent LLM framework shows certain application potential in crypto trading scenarios. However, the current backtesting period covers only about three months, and 1-hour level trading may still be affected by transaction fees, slippage, and signal latency. Future work requires further validation of the strategy's stability and generalization capabilities over longer historical periods, different market conditions, and across a wider range of asset classes.

LayerZero Labs posted on platform X, stating that the internal RPC used by LayerZero Labs had been attacked by the Lazarus Group over the past three weeks, compromising the true source of its DVN (Decentralized Verifier Network). Meanwhile, external RPC providers experienced DDoS attacks. The incident affected 0.14% of applications and approximately 0.36% of asset value. LayerZero Labs stated that assets are currently secure, and over $9 billion in funds have been bridged through the protocol since April 19.In response to the security risk, LayerZero Labs has ceased providing services for its DVN in a 1/1 configuration. Default configurations for all pathways will migrate to a multi-DVN model of at least 3/3 or 5/5 signatures. Additionally, regarding an incident from three years ago where a multi-sig holder mistakenly used a hardware wallet for personal transactions, LayerZero Labs has removed that signer and replaced the wallet, while developing a custom OneSig multi-sig system. LayerZero Labs advises developers to lock configurations to avoid reliance on default settings and plans to launch an asset management platform, Console, to enhance security monitoring.

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.
