According to Odaily, SlowMist founder Yu Xian posted on X platform stating that compared to the case of the FomoPeek App poisoning and stealing crypto on iPhone, he recommends paying more attention to the case of the food delivery App ComeCome using a similar method to poison and steal crypto. Some seemingly normal apps may cause users to fall victim to poisoning after use, and this situation occurs on iPhone; users are advised to update to the latest iOS version promptly, as iPad and Mac may also be affected.
Odaily: Hong Kong's Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christopher Hui, stated at a press conference on the financial development measures of the Hong Kong SAR's first five-year plan for economic and social development and the Chief Executive's 2026 Policy Address that digital assets and fintech are new growth engines for Hong Kong. Digital bonds issued in Hong Kong account for approximately 50% of the global share. The tokenization of Exchange Fund Bills will be piloted before the end of 2026, and the Central Moneymarkets Unit (CMU) will establish a digital asset platform within 2026 to provide one-stop services including digital bond issuance and settlement.
In terms of regulation and market development, measures include improving the virtual asset licensing regime, enhancing the regulatory framework for tokenized investment products, promoting the trading of regulated stablecoins on licensed platforms, and encouraging the expansion of application scenarios for compliant stablecoins.
Odaily News — Tom Lee, chairman of Ethereum treasury company Bitmine, said in an interview that even if the CLARITY Act fails to pass, the crypto market may still continue to rise, as market demand matters more than any single piece of legislation. The CLARITY Act was originally intended to establish a clearer regulatory framework for the crypto industry and give the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) more clearly defined regulatory responsibilities; even if the bill fails, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the CFTC will continue to serve as the main federal regulators of the crypto industry.
Tom Lee also pointed to prediction markets and sports markets as examples, saying these sectors have continued to grow despite regulatory uncertainty.
Odaily News: Lu Lei, Deputy Governor of the People's Bank of China, delivered a speech at the China-ASEAN Financial Cooperation and Development Forum on the theme of "Deepening China-ASEAN Cooperation in Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector." He stated that the current generation of AI technologies, represented by large models and intelligent agents, serves as an important tool for empowering financial services while also introducing new types of risks such as algorithmic black boxes and model hallucinations. "In particular, AI can learn and assess the underlying logic of human behavior, but humans find it difficult to penetrate the internal decision-making processes of AI. This 'asymmetric understanding' between humans and AI may pose deep-seated challenges to the financial industry and highlights the importance of security governance," Lu Lei said. He expressed willingness to strengthen cooperation with ASEAN countries to jointly assess new financial risks derived from AI technology, exchange practical experience in model lifecycle management and algorithm risk prevention and control, improve security protection systems adapted to digital and intelligent development, and build a strong security barrier for "AI + Finance."
