BlockBeats reported that on October 7, a crypto wallet fraud tool targeting the TON network announced that it would stop service and guide users to another cryptocurrency fraud tool.

Web3 security agency Scam Sniffer shared a screenshot showing that a crypto wallet fraud tool based on TON issued a closure announcement. The wallet fraud tool claimed that the lack of "big households" or "whales" in the TON community was detrimental to its business. The hackers wrote: "Since TON has no whales and the community is small, we will shut down the service."

The wallet fraud tool then guided users to assets that defrauded the Bitcoin network, and said that if users like to steal on TON, they will also like to operate on the Bitcoin network.

The hacker also promoted another service and made it clear that the TON-based fraud tool would not return. Blockaid co-founder Raz Niv mentioned that more and more hackers are becoming interested in the TON ecosystem because the value of assets transferred by TON is very high. Some scams also use TON's transfer comment function to disguise the true purpose of the signature, tricking users into signing false transactions and stealing their assets.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up

Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately

On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
