Michael Selig, the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, stated at the CFTC's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington that imagining a refrigerator autonomously purchasing groceries with funds from staked ETH, or even issuing its own Memecoin, "is no longer science fiction." He believes that when AI agents can hold assets and execute trades autonomously, regulators must make adjustments.Selig pointed out that the CFTC's regulatory framework is built around executing specific financial functions concerning "identifiable market participants," but autonomous software is raising questions about how these rules apply. He proposed that if AI agents identify trading opportunities and execute trades for users, their developers may need to register, who is responsible when the agent goes out of control, how regulators know for whom the agent is trading, and whether a new type of "Know Your Agent" rule, referred to as KYA, is necessary.Selig also mentioned that AI could provide smaller traders and businesses with risk management capabilities that were previously only available to large institutions, but greater autonomy also brings new risks: agents may react unexpectedly to market conditions, agents using similar models may exhibit correlated trading behaviors, and the speed of autonomous trading could complicate market regulation and risk management. Animoca Brands Chairman Yat Siu recently expressed similar concerns to Cointelegraph; Coinbase launched Agentic Wallets in February, and Binance introduced AI Agent Skills in March, allowing agents to trade within user-defined parameters or provide spot order tools.

Sony-supported Ethereum Layer 2 network Soneium plans to issue its native token $SONEIUM to connect entertainment creators, intellectual property holders, builders, fans, and investors. The plan was announced on October 26, 2026, with the core focus on tokenizing intellectual property, covering products such as royalty-backed assets, entertainment investments, and automated revenue sharing. The network is developed by Sony's blockchain division, Sony Block Solutions Labs.Soneium states that tokenizing intellectual property is used to represent the future economic value of creative works on-chain, allowing creators to raise funds from fans and investors and share commercial profits through automated revenue sharing. The related tokens can represent creators, studios, or individual works, taking the form of collectibles for fan activities or fungible tokens circulating within the intellectual property economy.The Soneium Portal is positioned as an entry point for the discovery, issuance, and investment of intellectual property, with royalties automatically paid through smart contracts. IP Vault aims to support royalty-backed assets and provide indirect participation in opportunities such as music catalog funds; IP Bonds will be supported by the entertainment business.The first projects focus on Asian pop culture, with partners including Super State Holdings and DayOneDream's WAVIST platform. The former starts with the character Moriusa, while the latter targets concert business royalties through WAVIST, involving artists such as BTOB and Lee Chae-yeon.The Soneium mainnet will go live on January 14, 2025, based on Optimism's OP Stack, with transaction fees paid in ETH, and the stablecoin USDSC has been used for settlement. It hosts over 250 applications, with approximately $9.38 million locked in the applications. Sony invested $13 million in early 2025 to infrastructure partner Startale Labs.

Due to the ChainSecurity report revealing compatibility and security issues with EIP-8037 and certain smart contracts, core developers decided last week to postpone the Hoodi testnet upgrade to Glamsterdam. The issues identified so far include: the remaining Gas during transaction execution may increase, leading to underflow in some Gas counting logic and triggering rollbacks, or causing code paths that should not be executed to be triggered, making the transaction appear successful. Additionally, some contracts may underestimate usage due to the inability to correctly calculate Gas consumption during calls.ChainSecurity previously stated that 13 real cases have been identified and they are responsibly disclosing this information to the affected projects. Toni Wahrstätter mentioned that this week they will further investigate the relevant contracts and assess subsequent solutions, which may require collaboration among application developers, core developers, auditors, and node operators. In the worst-case scenario, adjustments to the protocol specifications may be necessary. He reminded application developers and auditors to check the compatibility of contracts with EIP-8037 and EIP-8038 and to report issues in a timely manner.

The smartphone teardown organization iFixit released a teardown report for Apple's foldable phone iPhone Duo, indicating that screen failures may be related to the hinge. According to Caixin, this model has received a large amount of negative feedback after its launch, with some consumers reporting cracks in the inner screen after just a few days or even hours of use. iFixit stated that many users reported failures that seem to be concentrated near the lower middle part of the right half of the screen.iFixit constructed a 3D model of the hinge by scanning, teardown videos, and studying Apple's patents. One possibility is that the central support rod fails to retract properly when the phone is closed, applying excessive pressure on the screen; another possibility is that the curved guide rail that directs the hinge movement is higher than the surrounding components during the folding process, and if it does not move as expected, it may interfere with the screen. iFixit has not determined the final cause of the failure, but the failure area bears similarities to the internal geometry of the hinge.The report states that the hinge consists of gears, springs, and interconnected metal joints, featuring a teardrop design, and Apple also uses a curved guide rail to control joint movement. iFixit gave the iPhone Duo a repairability score of 5 out of 10, stating that it may be the easiest foldable screen phone to repair. Due to the use of clips instead of relying entirely on adhesives, the frame around the inner screen is removable without damage, and the outer screen is also relatively easy to detach.

The National Information Security Vulnerability Sharing Platform (CNVD) released a security announcement titled "Analysis and Repair Suggestions for PHP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability," in which it supports affected users to closely monitor official information, download and update to the latest version through official channels. Users who are temporarily unable to update can take measures to reduce certain attack vectors, mitigate vulnerability threats, and continuously monitor for abnormal PHP process exits, abnormal system command calls, unfamiliar process creations, and abnormal file writes, while retaining logs for traceability analysis.In its protection recommendations, CNVD stated that information system operating units should further strengthen security protection, comprehensively sort out their network assets, and reduce the public exposure of information systems according to the principle of not connecting to the internet unless necessary. Operating units that are currently unable to repair should take temporary response measures such as network isolation, network access restrictions, and taking unnecessary business systems offline.
