According to CoinDesk, Ethereum developers have fixed a vulnerability in the Glamsterdam upgrade that could allow operators to withdraw ETH intended for new validators from the staking service. The fix changed the handling rules for validator deposits and was merged on Monday, after developers had rejected the modification a week earlier.Researcher avsetsin discovered that if an operator first registers as a builder with a specific public key, and the staking service subsequently deposits ETH using the same key to activate the validator, the draft rules would credit both deposits to the builder. Avsetsin stated that this is a conditional code discovery and not a confirmed real-time exploit; existing checks can prevent the attack, and there are currently no reports of losses. The new rules treat deposits as sorted by withdrawal receipts, ensuring that validator deposits still belong to the validators.Glamsterdam has been running on the Sepolia testnet, but the launch on the Hoodi testnet has been delayed, with a new date to be determined before the mainnet launch.

According to Dune data, the nominal trading volume of cryptocurrency-related event contracts on Kalshi and Polymarket reached $2.7 billion last week, setting a new historical high. Among them, Bitcoin short-term fluctuation contracts were particularly active, with Kalshi's 15-minute Bitcoin price prediction contracts seeing single transaction volumes exceeding $1 million. Some traders even used trading bots to seize opportunities just seconds before the contracts expired.Currently, cryptocurrency has become the second largest trading category on the two platforms, second only to sports. Cryptocurrency trading platforms such as Coinbase, Crypto.com, Gemini, and Kraken are expanding their businesses by applying for relevant licenses or collaborating with prediction markets. Meanwhile, the decline in spot trading volume on centralized exchanges has also prompted crypto platforms to seek business diversification. However, as multiple states in the U.S. have raised legal challenges against sports prediction contracts, the direction of related regulations may also impact industry development.

The venture capital firm a16z published comments from co-founder Marc Andreessen on X regarding open-source AI. Marc Andreessen: If the only way for children to learn AI is to work at one or two companies, it would be hard for parents to accept.He also stated that in an open-source world, every child can understand how the relevant technology works. Without open-source, AI will inevitably be concentrated in one or two companies, or even directly in the hands of the government.Marc Andreessen also used the analogy of "government sushi," asking people to imagine "government AI," and stated that open-source is a safeguard to ensure this scenario does not become a reality in the future.

According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase's European policy director Katie Harries wrote that the proposed cryptocurrency asset regulatory rules by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) may require regulated platforms to execute customer orders only on trading venues authorized by the FCA, thereby restricting users' access to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols through compliant platforms.Since decentralized protocols typically do not have entities that can apply for regulatory authorization, the relevant rules may lead to regulated platforms being unable to provide DeFi access services, effectively creating a ban. The related cryptocurrency regulatory system is expected to be implemented starting October 25, 2027.

U.S. President Trump will emphasize his administration's actions against overseas cryptocurrency fraud at a cybercrime prevention event at the White House on Wednesday. According to Reuters citing White House officials, these overseas criminal networks lure Americans into participating in fraudulent cryptocurrency investments. Trump and cabinet members plan to point out that the government has shut down multiple fraudulent cryptocurrency investment websites and is working to close down online impersonation scams. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Attorney General Todd Blanche are expected to attend.The event follows an executive order from March this year, where Trump instructed the Department of Justice to prioritize identifying and prosecuting cyber fraudsters, followed by a memorandum requiring the Department of Homeland Security to collaborate with private companies to monitor foreign criminal hacker organizations. FBI data shows that in 2025, over 1 million cyber fraud complaints were submitted by the American public, a 17% increase from 2024, with record losses. Cryptocurrency fraud accounted for more than half of the losses, with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center recording 181,565 cryptocurrency-related complaints, resulting in losses of $11.366 billion, with cryptocurrency investment fraud causing $7.2 billion in losses.Most of the fraud activities trace back to organized crime groups in Southeast Asia, involving Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, where criminals exploit trafficking victims as forced labor in scam operations. Americans aged 60 and above bear the heaviest losses, with cryptocurrency-related losses reaching $4.43 billion. Cryptocurrency ATM fraud caused losses of $389 million, a 58% increase from 2024; secondary scams targeting previous victims caused an additional $1.4 billion in losses. The FBI's "Operation Upgrade" notified 3,780 victims suffering from cryptocurrency investment fraud in 2025, estimated to recover $225.8 million.

The French Ministry of Finance, the Financial Markets Authority (AMF), the French Central Bank, and the Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) jointly proposed amendments to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), requiring cryptocurrency platforms to take responsibility for customer losses when they actively provide access to DeFi protocols without reviewing the protocols or ignoring known security risks.The French side proposed that platforms review relevant protocols before providing DeFi access and continuously monitor for vulnerabilities and suspicious activities, while also supporting the certification of protocols and smart contracts. These requirements will apply comprehensively to significant Crypto Asset Service Providers (CASP), with smaller platforms subject to proportionately adjusted obligations. France also proposed transferring the regulatory authority of significant CASPs from national regulators to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) and lowering the current EU daily active user threshold of 15 million. Additionally, France suggested re-examining the category of Asset-Referenced Tokens (ART) and adjusting the Electronic Money Token (EMT) framework to cover multi-currency stablecoins.
