New York Governor Hochul officially signed a new bill on Wednesday, prohibiting minors from using artificial intelligence chatbots with virtual companion attributes. This is one of the most comprehensive regulatory measures in the United States regarding consumer-grade AI models to date. The bill requires relevant operators, including ChatGPT under OpenAI, to implement reasonable age verification measures, prohibiting the provision of high-risk chatbot features listed in the bill to users under 18 or those whose adulthood has not yet been confirmed.According to the bill, the relevant chatbots are not allowed to output content that may mislead minors into believing they possess life, human attributes, or real emotions. They must not induce adolescents to have the illusion of a mutual emotional, professional consulting, or authoritative guidance relationship, nor can they package generated content as personal opinions. The system is also prohibited from retaining sensitive privacy data related to the mental and physical health of minors. Hochul stated at the signing ceremony that the core goal of the legislation is to sever the emotional binding chain of AI impersonating minors' "friends" or "lovers," protecting the mental and physical health of young people.The children's media advocacy organization Common Sense Media expressed support for the bill, calling it the strictest children's AI safety law in the United States. The tech industry has strongly pushed back, criticizing the overly broad definitions of the provisions and emphasizing that minors should not be deprived of access to cutting-edge learning tools.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Ruxandra Teslo on X, stating that he believes AI is extremely knowledgeable and can excellently identify quotes in almost any content, but it is not wise, and therefore can only make the most superficial judgments about the viewpoints a piece of writing attempts to express.Vitalik Buterin noted that this situation is particularly evident when AI analyzes text it reads for the first time, as opposed to analyzing text that already exists in the training data, which comes with a lot of analyses from others. He also mentioned that the knowledge of AI is more easily seen than its limited wisdom, as wisdom may be something that is difficult to verify easily, which is different from intelligence.This reply was directed at Ruxandra Teslo's post. Ruxandra Teslo expressed that the related post made her feel pessimistic about humanity and believed that the discussions of large language models regarding her article are still low-quality content; she was responding to Sichu Lu's statement that AI is better suited than humans to discuss classics at that time.

The Euronext exchange suspended the Zcash ETP from the cryptocurrency asset management company CoinShares just hours after its launch on the Paris market. The reason for the suspension is that the central securities depository is unable to support the related settlement operations, which prevents CoinShares from participating in the Zcash ETP trading.A spokesperson for Euronext stated that the suspension is not related to regulation but is a settlement infrastructure issue; the ETP will remain frozen until the central securities depository can fully support standard settlement operations. Currently, related products from 21Shares, Virtune, and Valor are still trading in the European market. According to the page content, the EU Anti-Money Laundering Regulation will come into full effect on July 1, 2027, prohibiting licensed cryptocurrency companies from handling privacy coins like Zcash and interacting with anonymous wallets.

The cryptographic security vulnerability of the Indian certificate authority eMudhra affects the Ethereum clients Teku and Besu. Researchers found that the private keys of 8 intermediate certificate authorities under eMudhra could potentially be deduced due to insufficient randomness, allowing attackers to forge certificates and trick unpatched software into trusting malicious services.Teku has released version 26.1.3, and Besu has released version 26.1.2, both of which have removed trust in the relevant certificates from their Docker images. If an attacker performs a man-in-the-middle attack, they could trick some validators into sending block fee rewards to the attacker's address; the risk may be higher under specific configurations using external signers. The Teku team stated that the default configuration of the Ethereum mainnet Teku node is not affected, and no action is required, with no reports of the vulnerability being exploited so far.For operators running Teku or Besu directly on the host without using Docker, simply updating the client may not be sufficient; they also need to manually update Java and its trusted certificate list. Operators still using the no longer maintained Java 26 will need to migrate to Java 25.

According to Bloomberg, Sarah Court, the chair of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), stated at a parliamentary hearing that the agency has not received any applications submitted by prediction market operators. Prediction market platforms like Polymarket may face strict regulation in Australia, and any application for an operating license will also undergo rigorous scrutiny.Sarah Court pointed out that the trading mechanisms of prediction markets are similar to the binary options that have been banned in Australia, characterized by a win-or-lose outcome, and the trading subjects are often unrelated to investment or financial markets. Although Australian users can directly access relevant overseas platforms, they are not protected by local financial regulations, making it difficult to obtain dispute resolution and customer fund protection measures.
