The founder of DefiLlama, 0xngmi, announced the launch of a new off-chain proof/verification service, which will be used to verify and audit off-chain data, including information such as bank account balances, to help projects achieve reliable verification of real-world assets and other off-chain data.

According to on-chain data monitoring, the Humanity Protocol ($H) Foundation's related addresses have completed the planned token transfers, involving a "3:10" structured hedging profit-taking plan aimed at early investors, with a token scale exceeding 540 million. According to the previously announced schedule, the related tokens will officially enter the unlocking process on June 25, marking that the plan has completed the preparatory work for payment and has entered the formal performance stage.Previously, Humanity Protocol underwent a series of ecological recovery processes due to a hacking incident, including promoting a 1:1 exchange of new and old tokens for real holding users on exchanges, and implementing KYC and AML compliance verification for the abnormal on-chain issuance chips generated after the attack to reduce market circulation risks. The timely advancement of this unlocking plan is seen as an important progress node for the project in fulfilling commitments to investors and restoring ecological order after the security incident.Humanity Protocol mainly focuses on AI identity verification and Web3 identity infrastructure. As the demand for AI agents, real-person verification, anti-witch attacks, and on-chain identity applications continues to grow, this sector still has long-term development potential. If Humanity Protocol can continue to promote product and application implementation after completing token migration and ecological recovery, its subsequent performance will still attract market attention.

According to reports from Blue Whale Technology, the next-generation Doubao AI phone, jointly promoted by ZTE and ByteDance, may be delayed from its originally expected release in the second quarter due to issues with the filing and certification process. Sources reveal that the phone needs to pass both the large model filing with the Cyberspace Administration and the network access certification with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology; currently, the product is still in the second application filing stage. If the approval goes smoothly, the new device is expected to be launched as early as July to August this year.In terms of the supply chain, the screen supplier for the next-generation Doubao phone has been changed from Shentianma to BOE, the battery will use Desay battery and ATL cells, and the manufacturing will be handled by Zhongnuo Communications, a subsidiary of Furui Electronics. Additionally, reports indicate that this product mainly adopts a technical route that deeply integrates large models into the underlying operating system, but it currently faces ecological barriers due to the lack of data access permissions from leading platforms like Tencent and Alibaba when implementing system-level agent cross-application calls.

DefiLlama data shows that the second quarter of 2026 has become the most active period for recorded cryptocurrency hacking attacks, with a total of 83 independent attack incidents, setting a historical high.

Cross-chain bridges were the largest source of losses, with related attacks resulting in approximately $351 million stolen.Earlier this month, Humanity Protocol lost $36 million, Aztec Connect's passive smart contracts faced two attacks, each resulting in losses of about $2.1 million, and the decentralized exchange Raydium experienced a $1.3 million attack in June.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) of India has submitted a charge sheet to the PMLA special court in Dwarka, New Delhi, formally accusing Chirag Tomar and his accomplices of participating in a cryptocurrency phishing scam worth approximately $20 million. Investigations reveal that the gang executed attacks by hijacking SEO related to a counterfeit "Coinbase Pro" phishing website, luring users to input account information and further deceiving them into providing 2FA verification, thereby remotely transferring the victims' crypto assets. The funds were subsequently split into thousands of wallets and laundered through P2P transactions with local trading platforms. The case is coordinated with U.S. federal law enforcement actions.Previously, Tomar was arrested by the FBI in the U.S. and sentenced to 60 months in prison for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The Indian ED stated that it has obtained key evidence through international judicial cooperation and has frozen 129 bank accounts related to the case and assets amounting to approximately 645.5 million rupees, with the involved funds and properties undergoing further recovery and forfeiture procedures.

According to The Block, the U.S. SEC has filed a lawsuit in the federal court in Houston, accusing Nathan Fuller, a resident of Cypress, Texas, of operating a cryptocurrency scam project involving up to $12.3 million, which used fraudulent artificial intelligence trading bots to defraud investors.Nathan Fuller told investors that his proprietary AI-based bot could automatically scan cryptocurrency trading platforms, capturing small price gaps through high-frequency arbitrage, and promised returns of 40% to 50% within 30 to 45 days. Some investors were even told they could receive guaranteed returns of over 100% within 21 days.The SEC stated that Nathan Fuller, founder and sole member of Privvy Investments LLC, raised these funds from approximately 150 investors located in nine states and two foreign countries between October 2022 and mid-2024. He also conducted business under the alias "Gateway Digital Investments."It is alleged that only about 3% of the funds were actually used for cryptocurrency trading, while Fuller personally siphoned off at least $6.2 million and paid approximately $5.5 million to early investors in a manner similar to a Ponzi scheme.

According to Cryptopolitan, cybersecurity analysts have discovered a new type of fileless remote access trojan (RAT) named RemotePE. It is believed that the cybercrime organization Lazarus Group, associated with North Korea, is using this trojan to attack banks and cryptocurrency companies. The trojan operates entirely in memory, making it difficult for traditional antivirus and forensic tools to detect. Attackers impersonate trading company employees via Telegram, using forged Calendly and Picktime links for social engineering attacks. The malware is loaded in a three-stage chain through DPAPILoader, RemotePELoader, and RemotePE, with the entire process avoiding contact with the file system, utilizing process hollowing, anti-analysis checks, and encrypted C2 communication to evade detection.This malware was first discovered in September 2025. In the first four months of 2026, the Lazarus organization has stolen approximately $577 million in cryptocurrency assets, accounting for 76% of the total global cryptocurrency theft. Since 2017, the organization has accumulated a total theft amount of $6 billion.

On the occasion of Bitcoin Pizza Day in 2026, Bitget launched a global branding campaign titled "Flip the Slice," centered around a music short film called "The Infinite Flip." The short film humorously transforms the voices of skeptics into a part of community culture expression, continuing the spirit and narrative tension of Bitcoin Pizza Day.The film portrays the development of the crypto industry through various cartoon characters. Each time the outside world shouts "crypto is dead," the characters reappear with a "resurrection dance," symbolizing the crypto industry's rebirth from doubt and lows. Through this dark humor and the repeatedly "flipping" narrative style, the short film aims to convey the spirit of "crypto is not dead, it flips and is reborn" to the crypto community.Bitget's Chief Marketing Officer Ignacio Aguirre Franco stated that Bitcoin has been declared "dead" hundreds of times, but in this short film, the critics' arguments become plot points rather than conclusions. By flipping these narratives with humor and fun, each "death" serves as a prologue to the resurgence of the crypto world.As part of the overall Pizza Festival activities, Bitget's "Pizza Box Resume Project" will print selected Web3 youth resumes on pizza boxes and deliver them to industry partners in various regions, transforming classic crypto culture memes into career pathways for young people. This initiative also continues the core direction of Blockchain4Youth, which is to help young people establish a connection path from knowledge acquisition and skill demonstration to integration into the industry ecosystem.
