The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined 40 partners of Aave, covering multiple layers such as TradFi/RWA, stablecoins, infrastructure, wallets, DeFi protocols, exchanges, and custody. From its early focus on the lending efficiency of crypto assets to competing for on-chain dollar liquidity after the launch of GHO, Aave seems to be defining an interest rate system for on-chain dollars. At the TradFi and RWA layer, institutions like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and JPMorgan are prominently featured, along with RWA platforms such as Centrifuge, OpenEden, and Securitize, indicating that Aave is no longer satisfied with lending native crypto assets but is attempting to meet the financing needs of real-world assets on-chain. At the stablecoin layer, partners like Circle, Tether, Ethena, Ripple, and Plasma suggest that Aave is competing for the on-chain "dollar liquidity" entry point. Whoever controls stablecoin deposits is closer to on-chain interest rate pricing power. At the infrastructure layer, partners like Chainlink, ConsenSys, Flashbots, and Mantle provide Aave with price oracles, MEV optimization, and multi-chain expansion capabilities. At the user distribution layer, wallet partners like MetaMask, Ledger, Bitget Wallet, Privy, and Turnkey are lowering the entry barriers for users; meanwhile, institutional channels like Kraken, Bybit, and Fireblocks further amplify the capital entry points. DeFi protocols such as Pendle, Maple Finance, and CoW Swap extend Aave's liquidity into fixed income, institutional lending, and trading scenarios. The recent rsETH/Kelp risk event caused Aave's TVL to drop from a peak of $44 billion to $15 billion, once again testing the risk management capabilities of this established DeFi protocol.

According to Cryptopolitan, a new type of malware called GhostClaw is targeting cryptocurrency wallets on macOS devices.This malware disguised itself as a legitimate OpenClaw CLI tool and was present in the npm registry for a week before being removed after infecting 178 developers. Once developers run the "npm install" command, a hidden script globally installs the GhostClaw package and evades detection through obfuscated configuration files. GhostClaw scans the clipboard every three seconds, capturing private keys, seed phrases, public keys, and other cryptocurrency wallet and transaction-related data.After the second stage payload is downloaded, GhostLoader scans for cryptocurrency wallet data in the Chromium browser, macOS Keychain, and system storage, clones browser sessions to gain access to logged-in wallets, and steals API Tokens that connect to AI platforms such as OpenAI and Anthropic. The stolen data is sent to the attackers via Telegram, GoFile, and command servers.

In 2025, total global gold demand (including over-the-counter transactions) surpassed 5,000 tons for the first time. Coupled with the strong trend of gold prices repeatedly breaking records throughout the year—53 new highs in total—the total value of global gold demand soared to an unprecedented $555 billion, a year-on-year increase of 45%.Overall gold demand in 2025 grew: global gold ETF holdings increased by 801 tons, marking the second-highest annual increase in history; purchases of gold bars and coins accelerated, reaching a 12-year peak. In 2025, global central bank gold purchases reached 863 tons, hitting the upper limit of the expected range; the scale of gold purchases remains at historical highs, with a wide distribution among purchasing central banks, although the pace of central bank gold purchases has slowed compared to the past three years.Against the backdrop of continuously breaking historical records in gold prices, gold jewelry demand declined in 2025, but the total value of global gold jewelry demand still grew by 18% year-on-year, reaching a record $172 billion, indicating that global consumer interest in gold jewelry has not waned. Benefiting from the sustained growth of applications related to artificial intelligence, demand for gold in technology remained stable in 2025.Looking ahead to 2026, as geopolitical tensions continue to escalate, the World Gold Council expects that gold ETFs will continue to see strong inflows, and demand for gold bars and coins will remain robust, supported by ongoing significant gold purchases by global central banks. In an environment where gold prices remain high for the long term, jewelry demand is expected to remain under pressure.

According to market news, the DeFi protocol YO Protocol experienced an abnormal Swap event on Ethereum, where users exchanged approximately $3.84 million worth of stkGHO for only about $122,000 in USDC. Analysis indicates that the incident was triggered by two overlapping factors: 1) The estimated output value submitted by the initiator was incorrect, causing the slippage protection to effectively fail; 2) The trading path was set up abnormally, passing through high-fee, low-liquidity pools, resulting in significant fee extraction and price impact. The team has now purchased GHO and re-deposited stkGHO in an attempt to remedy the situation.

According to incomplete statistics from Slow Fog Blockchain, there were a total of 200 security incidents throughout the year, resulting in losses of approximately $2.935 billion. Compared to 2024 (410 incidents, losses of about $2.013 billion), although the number of incidents has significantly decreased, the amount of losses has increased by about 46% year-on-year.From an ecological distribution perspective, Ethereum remains the most frequently attacked and severely impacted ecosystem, with losses of approximately $254 million for the year, significantly leading the proportion; BSC follows closely with related losses of about $21.93 million; Solana ranks third, with annual losses of about $17.45 million.By project track classification, DeFi projects are the most frequently attacked area: in 2025, there were a total of 126 security incidents, accounting for about 63% of the annual total, resulting in losses of approximately $649 million, a decrease of about 37% compared to 2024 (339 incidents, losses of $1.029 billion). There were only 12 incidents on trading platforms, yet they caused losses as high as $1.809 billion, with Bybit alone suffering a loss of about $1.46 billion, making it the most severe incident of the year.In terms of the reasons for the attacks, contract vulnerabilities were the main cause, with a total of 61 incidents; followed closely by hacked X accounts, with a total of 48 incidents.The report points out that with the accelerated popularization of generative AI over the past two years, attackers have also begun to incorporate it into their scams and attack chains. Compared to traditional tools, AI's capabilities in text, voice synthesis, image, and video generation have significantly reduced the cost of scams. Attacks no longer rely on crude scripts or obviously abnormal behaviors, but instead use highly realistic content, coherent interactions, and precise target selection, making it psychologically more difficult for victims to detect risks.
