Coinbase CEO: No fees for listing, all assets evaluated according to unified standards. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on the X platform, stating that they have received numerous questions regarding how and why assets are listed on Coinbase. They have developed a guide to more transparently explain how everything works. Listing is completely free and metrics-based, with all assets evaluated according to unified standards.
According to the Coinbase Digital Asset Listing Process Guide, the application time for listing can vary significantly, from a few hours to several months, depending on factors such as the complexity of the asset and the completeness of the submission. A complete and well-prepared application is crucial for an effective review, which typically follows the following steps: application submission, business evaluation, core review, communication with the issuer, and approval. Shibarium Bridge Suffers $2.4 Million in "Sophisticated" Flash Loan Attack. The Shibarium Bridge, connecting the Layer 2 network Shibarium with Ethereum, was the target of a flash loan attack on Friday, resulting in the theft of approximately $2.4 million in ETH and Shiba Inu tokens. As a result, Shiba Inu developers have restricted some activity on the network.
The attacker borrowed 4.6 million BONE (Shibarium's governance token, down 16.32%) through a flash loan and appears to have gained control of 10 of the 12 validator signing keys, giving them a two-thirds majority. The attacker then used this privilege to withdraw approximately 224.57 ETH and 92.6 billion Shiba Inu tokens from the Shibarium Bridge contract and transferred the funds to their own address. The total value of these funds is currently approximately $2.4 million.
In response to the attack, Shiba Inu Coin developers suspended staking and unstaking functionality on the network, effectively freezing borrowed BONE tokens (which were already in a delayed unstaking period), thus preventing the attacker from further network manipulation. Furthermore, the attacker obtained approximately $700,000 in K9 (KNINE) tokens (associated with K9 Finance). When the attacker attempted to sell the KNINE, the K9 Finance DAO intervened and blacklisted the attacker's wallet address, preventing the tokens from being sold.

▌U.S. lawmakers plan to include a bill on sanctions against Russia in a government appropriations bill
According to foreign media reports, two U.S. lawmakers who have pushed for tough sanctions against Russia said on Saturday that they would urge their colleagues to bundle a tough sanctions bill against Russia with legislation that must be passed to ensure the operation of the federal government this week. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham and Representative Brian Fitzpatrick have been pushing for months for a bill that would impose sanctions on Russia if it refuses to negotiate a peace agreement with Ukraine, including secondary sanctions on countries that purchase Russian oil. Because Trump is cautious about sanctions on Russia and prefers to impose tariffs on goods from India, leaders of the House and Senate have not yet put the bill to a vote. This must-pass government appropriations bill, known as a "continuing resolution" (CR), provides the sponsors with a way to pass the bill.

▌Director of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the Central Bank: The measurement framework of the digital RMB should be upgraded
According to The Paper, Mu Changchun, director of the Digital Currency Research Institute of the People's Bank of China, said at the 2025Inclusion·Bund Conference Fintech New Applications and Central Bank Digital Currency Innovation and Development Insights Forum that in order to ensure that the money supply is consistent with economic growth and price expectations, and at the same time enhance the enthusiasm of commercial banks and users, the measurement framework of the digital RMB should be upgraded. At the same time, through business and technical features such as currency strings and a global unified ledger, better monetary services should be provided for the development of the real economy. Web3 Executive: The "Endgame" of US Dollar Stablecoins Is the End of Transaction Symbols. Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Helius, a remote procedure call (RPC) node provider, stated that stablecoins pegged to the US dollar will eventually move away from using separate transaction symbols. Exchanges will then consolidate different stablecoins in their backends, presenting only the "USD" option to users.
Mutaz noted that the competition surrounding Hyperliquid's US dollar stablecoin (USDH), as well as proposals from multiple companies promising to return 100% of their profits to Hyperliquid, indicate that the stablecoin sector has entered a phase of "commoditization."
Muttaz further added that he expects more companies to issue their own stablecoins, while many existing stablecoin issuers will also begin developing proprietary payment chains. This trend could lead to liquidity fragmentation, trapping funds within separate ecosystems and preventing them from flowing freely. The Ethereum Foundation has released an end-to-end privacy roadmap, encompassing private writes, reads, and proofs. The Ethereum Foundation's "Privacy and Scaling Exploration" team has been renamed the "Ethereum Privacy Guardians" and released a roadmap outlining current progress toward building comprehensive end-to-end privacy on the blockchain. The roadmap focuses on three key areas: private writes, private reads, and private proofs, with the goal of making private on-chain operations accessible, affordable, and compliant on Ethereum.
Private Writes: Bringing the cost and convenience of private on-chain operations to parity with public operations;
Private Reads: Enabling data to be read from the blockchain without revealing identity or intent;
Private Proving: Making the generation and verification of proofs fast, private, and easily accessible.

Can quantum computers really crack Bitcoin? Bitcoin uses the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, an encryption algorithm developed by the US National Security Agency (NSA). SHA-256 protects against brute-force attacks on the Bitcoin network, as decryption using existing hardware could take decades. However, a new threat to SHA-256 is quantum computing, a computational method that exploits the principles of quantum physics and is far faster than traditional computing. Fundamentally, quantum computing utilizes quantum bits (qubits), which can exist in a variety of states. This contradicts binary (traditional) computing, which uses binary bits (1s and 0s). In 1994, mathematician Peter Shor proposed an algorithm that enables quantum computers to solve complex algorithms in seconds, while conventional hardware would take decades. Quantum computing combined with Shor's algorithm could break Bitcoin's cryptography as we know it. When creating a crypto wallet, two important items are generated: a private key and a public key. The private key is a secret code, similar to a password, that must be kept secure. The public key is derived from the private key, and the wallet address (similar to a bank account number) is derived from the public key. The private key acts like a master password that controls the crypto wallet. Using this private key, the wallet can create multiple public keys, each of which generates a wallet address. While deriving a public key from a private key is simple, deriving the private key from the public key is extremely difficult—nearly impossible—which ensures the wallet's security. Quantum computing is believed to be able to reverse this process, deriving the private key from the public key. There are concerns that this could cause many Bitcoin holders (especially whales and Satoshi-era wallets) to lose their funds.
