Odaily News: The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stated that tokenization is expected to reduce costs in market infrastructure links such as issuance, trading, transfer, settlement, and ownership records, while enhancing transparency and liquidity. The SEC today approved a temporary, conditional "Innovation Exemption," allowing tokenized stocks to conduct limited trading on certain on-chain venues—Tokenized Securities Trading Venues (TSVs).
It is reported that qualifying TSVs can conduct approved trading through automated market makers and liquidity pools, but must meet requirements including public disclosure, trading transparency, circuit breaker coordination, record-keeping, and technical safeguards, while being subject to limits on the number of ticker symbols and trading volume. The SEC stated that this move aims to observe the operations of on-chain trading venues and market participants, providing a data basis for formulating long-term regulatory rules in the future.

Odaily News: Bob Edwards, Chief Investment Officer of Edwards Asset Management, said that now that the Federal Reserve's rate hike has landed, the stock market can move forward. He stated: "The Fed has given the market enough certainty, and stocks can resume their rally against the backdrop of a persistent 'wall of worry.' The post-Fed-meeting stock decline is an overreaction and represents an opportunity worth buying on dips. When stock prices fall but corporate prospects have not deteriorated to a corresponding degree, this is typically a classic buy signal. We are currently encouraging clients to increase equity allocations, with a focus on valuation, revenue growth, balance sheet condition, and sustainable cash flow." (CLS)

Odaily reports: Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis has released a report stating that hackers are increasingly leveraging open-source artificial intelligence (AI) to implant malware control instructions into on-chain transactions and smart contracts, with such cases surging approximately 440% in less than a year. Data shows that these incidents have risen from roughly 2 per day to approximately 11 per day. Attackers write malicious instructions on-chain to manipulate infected devices into stealing passwords and funds, and redirect assets to designated wallets; since on-chain records cannot be deleted, defense and interception are becoming increasingly difficult.
The report notes that state-sponsored hackers from countries such as North Korea and Iran have become the primary drivers of such activity. Open-source models support local independent operation and modification, allowing them to directly bypass cloud-based defenses. However, the public and transparent nature of blockchain also leaves critical evidence for tracing attack infrastructure. (Bloomberg)
