According to CoinDesk, blockchain analysis company Chainalysis has released a new methodological proposal aimed at establishing a unified on-chain fund tracking standard framework for law enforcement agencies and investigators, to identify address clusters and determine their possible control relationships.The proposal defines the on-chain analysis structure in the form of "ontology," focusing on systematically breaking down the currently unstandardized concept of "cluster" in the industry into wallet segments and functional roles, and describing on-chain relationships through a two-layer structure: the first layer defines the transaction graph structure, and the second layer assesses inference confidence.Chainalysis stated that the framework aims to enhance the interpretability and legal applicability of on-chain forensic methods, and is designed and validated based on its practical experience in relevant cases within the U.S. Department of Justice, including the analytical application in the mixing service Bitcoin Fog case.The company's Chief Scientist Jacob Illum pointed out that the goal of the proposal is to answer "on what evidence basis can these addresses be considered to belong to the same entity," while emphasizing that on-chain analysis itself cannot directly identify the ultimate user identity and still requires legal investigative methods combined with centralized entities such as exchanges.Chainalysis indicated that the standard proposal is currently open for discussion within the industry, hoping to promote the formation of more unified technical specifications for on-chain analysis methods in the fields of law enforcement and compliance.

According to Reuters, the Austrian government has proposed that the EU consider bringing the AI company Anthropic into its territory to address the U.S. restrictions on foreign users accessing advanced AI models.In an open letter to the EU Commissioner for Technology, Austrian Secretary of State for Digitalization Alexander Proell called on the EU to jointly explore Anthropic's strategic layout and participation in Europe, and to provide it with legal protection, market access, and capital support. He emphasized that Europe must ensure it is not excluded from major technological innovations and strive to become the architect of the technological future rather than a passive recipient.It is reported that the European Commission proposed relevant legislation earlier this month aimed at boosting the local cloud computing, AI, and semiconductor industries to reduce dependence on U.S. tech giants. Currently, Anthropic has not responded to this proposal.

Members of the management team of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) and CSA Operator Aerugo published a systematic explanation of EF's mission. Aerugo stated that EF's core mission is to ensure that Ethereum becomes and continues to be a truly permissionless sovereign infrastructure: censorship-resistant, capture-resistant, open-source, private, and secure, capable of supporting large-scale trustless coordination.He emphasized that EF's focus is on eliminating extraction and capture risks that may arise at the protocol layer of Ethereum, particularly the two core challenges of MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) issues and the lack of default privacy. Aerugo described MEV as "the main battleground of the next cypherpunk war," and pointed out that "a public ledger without serious default privacy is a monitoring infrastructure with settlement guarantees."In addition, EF will move some of its work out of the foundation through spin-offs in the future, but will maintain strict standards for external funding. The recent departure of some personnel is part of normal organizational adjustments, and EF will handle it in a dignified manner without making personnel issues public.

According to the Nikkei Asia report, the Japanese government recently announced plans to achieve over 370 trillion yen (approximately 15.59 trillion yuan) in public-private joint investment in 17 strategic areas by fiscal year 2040. Among these, approximately 10.5 trillion yen (about 442.3 billion yuan) will be specifically allocated to the field of physical AI.It is reported that the Japanese government expects physical AI technology to play a key role in scenarios such as industrial automation, unmanned transportation, and infrastructure inspections, to alleviate the labor shortage caused by the intensifying aging population and the imbalance between labor supply and demand, thereby comprehensively enhancing productivity. In addition, to mitigate the potential risks of high-performance artificial intelligence, Japan also announced a new AI policy draft last week, planning to further strengthen relevant threat control and safety assessment mechanisms.

According to Crowdfund Insider, MetaMask has launched an address poisoning attack detection feature to identify scam addresses that are highly similar to addresses with which users have interacted in the past. Address poisoning attacks refer to when attackers send small amounts of tokens to a user's wallet, causing disguised addresses to appear in transaction records, leading users to mistakenly copy and transfer funds later. In recent years, address poisoning attacks have surged. According to security data from Blockaid, over 65.4 million such incidents occurred between January 2025 and February 2026.The new feature in MetaMask will automatically compare addresses pasted by users with historical interaction addresses. If it detects that the first and last characters are the same but the characters in between are different, it will display a blocking reminder during the transfer process. MetaMask has also improved the way addresses are displayed, showing more characters to reduce the possibility of confusion. This feature is now available on MetaMask Mobile and the browser extension.

The WeChat public account of the Chinese prosecutor published an article titled "Research on Foreign-Related Cases | Key Points for Cross-Border Electronic Evidence Collection in Virtual Currency Money Laundering Crimes," which pointed out that when handling virtual currency money laundering cases, one should use the virtual currency wallet address as a breakthrough point, apply blockchain technology to analyze on-chain data characteristics and the flow of funds, and identify money laundering activities conducted through virtual currencies to achieve precise strikes.The article proposed that the evidence collection model should be built around two core proof elements: identity relevance and transaction relevance, establishing a "domestic evidence collection as the basis, cross-border evidence collection as a supplement" approach, and standardizing the applicable boundaries of unilateral evidence collection and bilateral judicial assistance to enhance the efficiency of cross-border evidence collection.For third-party entities such as exchanges, wallet service providers, and payment channels, the article suggested establishing "elemental" retrieval standards, focusing on obtaining KYC information and change records, login logs, device and IP information, two-factor authentication records, deposit and withdrawal records, on-chain addresses, transaction hashes, as well as risk control and freezing records, to establish the relationship of "address---account---natural person."
