The Korean Tax Tribunal recently made a re-investigation ruling on a dispute regarding the gift tax on Bitcoin. The case involves whether transferring Bitcoin through a spouse's overseas exchange account constitutes a gift, which has attracted widespread attention in the cryptocurrency tax community. The case shows that taxpayer A transferred 67 Bitcoins stored in a personal hardware cold wallet (Ledger) to avoid direct transfer to a domestic exchange due to the Travel Rule regulatory restrictions in South Korea, using spouse B's overseas exchange account for the transfer. The entire process took only 2 to 8 minutes, after which the Bitcoins were sold to purchase real estate.The tax authorities determined that this action constituted a gift between spouses and imposed a gift tax on A. A appealed, claiming that the Bitcoins were personal assets held since before 2014 and submitted a memorandum of understanding signed with the spouse—where it was agreed that if the Bitcoins appreciated, real estate would be purchased, and 13 Bitcoins would be gifted to the spouse as compensation. A argued that determining it as a gift solely based on the brief passage of funds through the spouse's account was a qualitative error.After review, the Tax Tribunal found that A failed to adequately submit key evidence such as the memorandum of understanding, gift contract, and photos of the hardware wallet during the tax investigation, leading to flaws in the investigation process. At the same time, the distribution method of 67 Bitcoins transferred to A's account and 13 Bitcoins retained under the spouse's name was consistent with A's statements. Based on this, the Tribunal ruled that a new investigation must be conducted regarding the actual ownership of the hardware wallet and the substantive ownership of the digital assets. This case is seen as a landmark case in South Korea's cryptocurrency tax practice, directly addressing the challenges of determining ownership of cold wallet assets and the tax classification of cross-account transfers.

According to Slow Fog's disclosure, a new variant of Shai-Hulud Hades has been found attacking PyPI. The malicious package drops a .pth file that executes automatically when Python starts, and checks if Bun is installed locally; if not installed, it downloads the official Bun binary from GitHub Releases, and then executes a multi-layer obfuscated JavaScript payload to steal credentials from GitHub, npm, AWS, and cloud services.Slow Fog stated that this variant uses the same RSA public key and infrastructure as previous Shai-Hulud attacks, and has capabilities such as encrypted exfiltration, persistence, CI/CD injection, and GitHub Actions injection.

Members of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank and President of the Deutsche Bundesbank, Joachim Nagel, stated in a speech at the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany that the introduction of euro-denominated stablecoins could provide low-cost cross-border payment services for individuals and businesses, while addressing the dollarization risks posed by dollar stablecoins.Joachim Nagel pointed out that if domestic currencies are replaced by dollar stablecoins, it would be equivalent to the dollarization of the relevant economies, which could severely undermine the effectiveness of domestic monetary policy and European sovereignty. Currently, the European Central Bank is assessing the possibility of using distributed ledger technology for non-central bank currencies, including tokenized deposits and euro stablecoins, and plans to launch a digital euro by 2029. In addition, the European Central Bank is also developing a wholesale CBDC to allow participants in financial markets to execute programmable transactions.

Binance founder CZ posted on social media, "Some people spreading FUD have now started to openly spread rumors, even from accounts claiming to have 500,000+ followers.I don't know the owner of this account, nor do I remember when I blocked him, but it seems that blocking him was quite reasonable. I have never sent such messages to anyone. I will try to minimize the time spent debunking this FUD, as there are more important things to do.The so-called 'fake lawyer letter' that circulated yesterday also spread for a while. I thought it was so obviously fake that it didn't need clarification, yet I still saw some so-called new media sharing the images while also writing reports. If there are still people in this era who can't distinguish obvious PS or AI-generated fake news/fake documents, they are likely to end up poor. (Sorry, that was a bit blunt.)"

The prediction market platform Polymarket has faced widespread criticism in the crypto and media circles for posting false information on its official X account. Investor DCinvestor stated that he has unfollowed Polymarket's official account, not due to the product itself, but because of its frequent posting of a large amount of false information presented as "breaking news," which severely misleads users.Media personality Rachel Karten also pointed out that the Polymarket official account "often publishes completely fabricated news," a phenomenon that is "very strange."One of the focal points of the controversy is a tweet labeled "JUST IN," where Polymarket claimed that Jeff Bezos suggested Generation Z entrepreneurs should first work at real-world companies like McDonald's or Palantir before considering entrepreneurship. Subsequently, Jeff Bezos himself directly replied to deny this, stating, "No. I'm not sure why Polymarket would make this up."The incident has raised questions about the credibility of Polymarket's information and its content review mechanisms. In the context of the growing influence of prediction markets, the behavior of the official account posting false information is seen as potentially misleading to user decisions and market sentiment.

According to Aastocks, Lu Zhihong, a member of the Hong Kong Stablecoin Review Tribunal and the Web3 Development Group, stated that currently, Hong Kong only allows fiat-collateralized stablecoins backed by legal tender. Applicants must have a capital scale of at least HKD 25 million to ensure sufficient financial strength to operate and manage market risks. The issuer's fiat funds must be invested in highly liquid, low-risk assets to ensure that the stablecoin's value can be reliably supported, and they must also undergo independent audits to provide compliance proof to regulatory authorities.

ChainCatcher news, analyst Eye posted on the X platform revealing the Bunni hacker. She stated that this hacker has attacked 14 protocols including Equilibria, BSX, DFX Finance, and Curve, and in many cases, after launching attacks, she would deplete the entire liquidity of various protocols, leading to their collapse. This hacker acts recklessly and ruthlessly, mocking the futures of many people, including users' funds and the funds of various teams.Eye pointed out that this attacker has extensive connections in the crypto industry and is linked to venture capital firms. She believes she is untouchable due to her alibi, and she has thousands of online aliases. It is time for her to pay the price. Previously, it was reported that the decentralized trading protocol Bunni announced today its official shutdown due to security vulnerabilities and insufficient funds.

ChainCatcher news, the DEX project Bunni based on Uniswap V4 has recently announced its shutdown. Bunni stated: "The recent exploit incident has forced the development of Bunni to come to a standstill. To safely restart, just the costs for auditing and monitoring would require six to seven figures------a sum we currently cannot afford. Additionally, restoring Bunni to its pre-exploit state will require months of development and business expansion efforts, which is also something we cannot bear. Therefore, we have decided to shut down Bunni."Furthermore, Bunni also stated that the remaining treasury assets will be distributed to holders of BUNNI, LIT, and veBUNNI. The confirmation of the legal process is still ongoing, and specific distribution details will be announced once the legal process is finalized. Team members will not participate in this snapshot distribution. Previously, it was reported that Bunni lost approximately $2.3 million after being hacked.

ChainCatcher news, another security incident has occurred in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. The exchange Bunni, built on Uniswap, has been hacked, resulting in a loss of $8.4 million. According to the official Bunni website, the application aims to "maximize the profits of liquidity providers under all market conditions," but today's loss is contrary to that goal.Previously, according to the crypto security auditing firm BlockSec Phalcon (@Phalcon_xyz), a suspicious transaction targeting the Bunni protocol (@bunni_xyz) contract was detected on the Ethereum network, causing a loss of approximately $2.3 million. About two hours later, the Bunni team acknowledged the incident and suspended their contracts across all networks. Subsequently, more auditing firms got involved in the investigation and found that in addition to the $2.3 million loss on the Ethereum network, there was also a loss of $6 million on the Unichain network, bringing the total loss to $8.4 million.The attack appears to be related to a precision vulnerability in the platform's "liquidity allocation function" curve. The hacker manipulated this function through carefully designed transaction sizes, leading to errors in the rebalancing calculations, which incorrectly computed the shares each liquidity provider should hold. The hacker repeated this process to extract excess LP tokens, draining Bunni's liquidity pool.Although Bunni's codebase had been audited by well-known security firms such as Trail of Bits and Cyfrin, and there were "serious" issues reported, it remains unclear whether this attack fell within the scope of those audit reports.
