Odaily reports, according to monitoring by Bitcoin News, @0xJohannes stated that a Ledger hardware wallet purchased from an official European reseller several weeks ago was found to contain an unauthorized spy implant device. Suspicious wiring not present in genuine Ledger hardware was discovered inside the device, indicating it may have been physically tampered with before being sold. The implant appears to be an older version, as newer versions typically conceal the components behind the screen. Funds in the affected device have not been stolen thus far. Suspected cases have currently been reported in Asia, South America, and Europe. If the original secure element remains intact, Ledger's Genuine Check software cannot detect unauthorized physical modifications.
Odaily reports: Zcash full-node development team Zakura has stated that the network is expected to introduce a quantum-resistant signature opcode in January, enabling hash-based signatures for transparent payments. Zcash's transparent payments publicly display transaction information, while shielded payments hide the sender, receiver, and amount.The proposal combines address rotation with private information retrieval, allowing wallets to switch to a new address after each transaction and reduce public key exposure risk through WOTS hash-based fallback signatures. The Vizor wallet launched its private query feature this week, allowing users to enable it for testing in the settings.Zakura's proposal currently only covers Zcash transparent payments, and the network has not yet confirmed the activation time for the opcode. Ethereum researcher Justin Drake has warned that AI-driven mathematical breakthroughs could crack the relevant signatures in months rather than years; Vitalik Buterin believes it is possible that cryptographic technology could be broken within the next two years.

NEAR Protocol announced that NEAR accounts now support the post-quantum ML-DSA signature scheme, enabling users to complete key upgrades without any asset migration. Meanwhile, the NEAR One team is advancing the NEP-655 proposal, which derives implicit accounts via an initial state hash, storing assets behind the hash so that no public keys or key hashes are exposed on-chain. It is currently live on the testnet and expected to launch on the mainnet within weeks. Additionally, the team is designing NEAR Intents Wallet Contracts that support custom signature extensions (including ML-DSA and hash-based schemes), and developing a NEAR-based Q-day recovery registry for external chains that have not yet deployed PQ keys, allowing users to submit recovery keys in a rotatable hash format. NEAR noted that its quantum-safe design philosophy was integrated into its architecture planning as early as 2018.
Odaily News: South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance recently issued a preliminary administrative notice of proposed amendments to CARF-related regulations, which would require South Korean crypto asset service providers to retain addresses of external personal wallets, overseas wallets, and other addresses involved in transactions for 6 years. For transactions using crypto assets to purchase goods or services, when a single transaction reaches $50,000 or more, both the receiving merchant and the paying customer will be included in the reporting scope.The adjustments are intended to align with the implementation of the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) on January 1, 2027. South Korea has also identified 55 participating jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Japan, Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, and the UAE, among others; the United States is currently participating in information exchange through a bilateral agreement pathway.

Odaily News: Crypto information platform Decrypt has launched Decrypt Money Accounts on Solana. Account balances are denominated in USDT and can be used across products including Earn, Swaps, Predictions, and Perps. The platform covers gas and rent fees through fee-payer co-signing, so users do not need to hold SOL or handle network fees.The account uses a self-custody model. Decrypt does not hold users' private keys and cannot execute transactions on their behalf. Users can deposit funds through multiple payment methods. A private key export feature is expected to be available shortly, after which accounts can be connected to any Solana wallet software.Cross-chain operations are handled at the platform's underlying layer. For example, Myriad Predictions markets settle on BNB Chain, yet users can still trade using the same Solana USDT balance without bridging or switching networks. Existing Myriad Wallet users can use the service directly without migration.Decrypt Money Accounts will serve as the underlying channel for The Information Exchange, connecting Decrypt, Myriad, and the upcoming MYR. The platform will subsequently expand prediction markets into instruments such as spot, perpetual futures, and structured event products. (Decrypt)

This version is reproducible and can be verified through signatures from 4 independent signers; the team recommends that users download and verify the file before transferring it to an air-gapped computer. The official v1.0.0 release is still pending completion of candidate version testing.
