Japanese Prime Minister: To strengthen support for startups and continuously advance the development of Japan's Web3 innovation ecosystem.

Token Pocket Chief Business Officer Michael posted that the seed phrase of Robinhood’s founder was leaked during his live stream. Hackers gained control over the address, then used it and associated addresses to purchase large volumes of the meme coin $1, prompting thousands of investors to follow suit. This drove the token’s market cap from roughly $500,000 to $14 million in a short period. The $1 token’s price then plummeted, with its trading volume hitting around $20 million in just two hours. After the relevant address was frozen, hackers quickly moved to BNB Chain (BSC), issued new tokens using that address and its associated addresses, created trading hype through wash trading, and eventually dumped the tokens to cash out. Robinhood’s RPC has frozen the address, with nodes refusing to include transactions from it, making transfers and trading impossible.

Fundstrat co-founder and Bitmine chairman Tom Lee said in a speech at WebX 2026 that Ethereum is at a critical juncture similar to the second-stage growth phase entered by Amazon, NVIDIA, and JPMorgan Chase. He believes Ethereum will follow a similar trajectory. Since its launch, ETH has gone through the ICO boom and the NFT boom, hitting an all-time high of $4,866. In 2025, driven by the approval of spot ETFs and the rapid popularization of stablecoins, it rebounded to $4,955 at one point. Now, the price has fallen to around $1,732, a phase Lee defines as "market capitulation at the bottom". Future growth of ETH 2.0 will rest on four pillars: a new Ethereum Foundation governance structure, Agentic AI, a settlement layer for the financial system, and ETH becoming a true "currency". Lee noted that Wall Street institutions are expanding their footprint in the Ethereum ecosystem, and these large firms' ongoing construction of Layer 2 networks signals that the entire traditional financial system is gradually migrating to the Ethereum ecosystem. Bitmine initially planned to hold 5% of the total global ETH supply over five years, but has now achieved 95% of that target in just 12 months. Currently, the company holds a total of 5.74 million ETH, accounting for approximately 4.8% of the total ETH supply, of which around 4.87 million ETH (about 85%) is staked.

According to a report by Procuratorial Daily, researchers from the Yuhu District People's Procuratorate of Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, and the Faculty of Law of Xiangtan University have co-authored an article proposing a systematic solution to the regulatory dilemmas in criminal law for money laundering crimes involving virtual currencies. The article notes that current judicial practice faces three core challenges: behavioral characterization, evidence collection, and recovery of illicit funds and loss compensation. First, Article 191 of China’s Criminal Law, which defines the crime of money laundering, still limits predicate offenses to seven categories, leading to a large number of cases being charged only with the crime of concealing and disguising criminal proceeds. Second, tools such as mixers, privacy coins, and cross-chain transfers fragment the evidence chain, making it difficult for traditional investigation methods to trace the source. Third, conflicts in the legal status of virtual currencies, gaps in procedural rules, and cross-border cooperation barriers hinder the enforcement of illicit fund recovery. In response, the authors put forward targeted suggestions: For the behavioral characterization dilemma, shift from passive identification to active review at the judicial level, and activate the guiding function of procuratorial supervision and assessment standards at the supervisory level. For the evidence verification dilemma, establish adaptive authentication and review standards for electronic evidence, build a tiered standard of proof and reasonable presumption rules, and explore the authorization and standardized application of technical investigation measures. For the illicit fund recovery and loss compensation dilemma, establish a national-level cross-departmental collaborative disposal mechanism, and actively participate in and lead the construction of international rules and cooperation platforms.
