According to PANews, a North Korean developer has reportedly gained elevated access to the Keeper-Wallet codebase of the Waves Protocol. The account, identified as 'AhegaoXXX,' has been pushing updates to a dormant codebase since May 2025. This account is linked to a North Korean IT outsourcing organization. A code review revealed that one of the updates included a feature that could send wallet logs and runtime errors to an external database, potentially compromising mnemonic phrases and private keys. Although this branch has not been merged, the attacker managed to publish six outdated malicious NPM packages by controlling the account of former Waves engineer Maxim Smolyakov. Security reports indicate that this incident marks a shift in North Korean hackers' tactics from ordinary outsourcing infiltration to direct control of codebases. It is recommended that development teams enhance supply chain defenses, including auditing contributor permissions, cleaning up dormant accounts, and monitoring repository redirects. While the number of affected software downloads remains low, Waves users updating Keeper-Wallet face the risk of credential leaks.

According to PANews, the Pacific island nation of Nauru has enacted legislation to establish the Crypto and Virtual Asset Authority (CRVAA), tasked with overseeing cryptocurrencies, digital banking, and Web3 innovations. The new law categorizes cryptocurrencies as commodities rather than securities, excluding payment tokens from investment contract definitions. The regulations encompass exchange operations, ICOs, NFTs, lending, and DeFi services, while also supervising stablecoin issuance and cross-border payments. Nauru's President David Adeang stated that the initiative aims to position the country as a digital asset hub in Oceania and enhance economic resilience through diversified revenue streams. Previously, Nauru permitted cryptocurrency trading but lacked specific regulatory measures. Covering an area of 21 square kilometers and home to approximately 12,500 people, Nauru is the world's third smallest nation.

According to Odaily, research by Fidelity Digital Assets reveals that the growth rate of Bitcoin's 'ancient supply,' which has remained unmoved for over ten years, now exceeds the daily new production. Since April 2024, an average of 566 BTC has been added daily to the ten-year holding category, surpassing the miners' daily addition of 450 BTC. The proportion of Bitcoin held for over ten years constitutes 17% of the total circulating supply, approximately 3.4 million BTC, valued at $360 billion. Of this, 33% is held by Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, while some Bitcoin may be permanently lost. Following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, there was a decrease in the ten-year holding on 10% of trading days, indicating market volatility's impact on long-term holders' behavior. Currently, 27 publicly listed companies hold over 800,000 BTC. Fidelity predicts that if companies with 1,000 BTC or more continue to retain Bitcoin on their balance sheets, the 'ancient' Bitcoin supply could exceed 30% of the circulating supply by 2035.

According to PANews, the current state of the crypto primary market is perceived as being in a crisis, with several key issues highlighted by industry insiders. Firstly, the narrative surrounding crypto has become meaningless, with a casino culture taking precedence. The concern is not just the slow delivery of technological narratives but the complete abandonment of narrative packaging in favor of a meme-driven casino culture. Previously, the slow delivery of technology narratives was seen as a long-term endeavor, supported by initial VC funding and transparent project development. However, the market has shifted to a game of community operations and financial speculation, with trading opportunities measured in minutes. This shift away from technology narratives has amplified the risks of meme trading, making the market more perilous for most participants. Secondly, there is an accelerated loss of developers and a stagnation in technological innovation. Data indicates a nearly 30% decline in active crypto developers on GitHub from last year's peak, while AI and traditional tech companies are aggressively recruiting engineers. As major tech companies like OpenAI, Google, and Meta compete for talent in the AI sector, the crypto industry's narrative of 'disrupting the internet' struggles to retain developers. After several build cycles, developers are experiencing a rapid decline in innovation enthusiasm, with few significant breakthroughs from zero to one. Concepts like Restaking, Intent, and AI Agent have gained attention, but practical applications remain scarce. Lastly, the crypto market is facing a lack of external attraction, leading to its marginalization. The appeal of crypto to external funds and talent is waning, with the real secondary altcoin season occurring in the U.S. stock AI market and primary innovation in the web2AI sector. Crypto's allure to traditional VCs and top talent is diminishing, and it is often labeled as speculative. Despite the introduction of ETFs bringing institutional funds, this recognition is more at the financial tool level, with Wall Street's inflow seen as asset allocation rather than a direct link to the altcoin market. The discussion raises questions about the unique value that crypto can offer beyond decentralization, especially as traditional financial institutions embrace the market through stablecoins and ETFs. While the situation appears bleak, there is hope that a genuine solution may emerge in the near future, with optimism serving as the best support.

According to Odaily, Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' shared his views on the X platform, expressing a lack of concern for the spot prices of gold and silver. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of the quantity of gold and silver he possesses. Similarly, he applies this perspective to Bitcoin, focusing on the amount he owns rather than its current price. Kiyosaki revealed that he began purchasing Bitcoin when it was valued at $6,000 and forecasts that its price could reach $1 million per coin by 2030. He believes that the quantity of gold, silver, and Bitcoin one holds is crucial for future wealth, suggesting that traditional currency, which he refers to as 'fake money,' is unreliable.
