Microsoft flags ClickFix malware using BNB Chain to fetch attack instructions

Microsoft has warned of ClickFix attacks using BNB Chain smart contracts to infect thousands of devices every day.　　According to Microsoft Threat Intelligence, a cluster of compromised websites has been using ClickFix lures together with the EtherHiding technique to deliver malware, with campaigns targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices worldwide each day.　　Microsoft Threat Intelligence has identified a cluster of compromised websites displaying ClickFix lures and using EtherHiding, a technique associated with the ClearFake campaign.　　An injected Base64-encoded JavaScript contacts a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway to query a smart… pic.twitter.com/FOivGuUxVV　　— Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) August 6, 2026　　The security team said attackers inject Base64-encoded JavaScript into compromised websites. Instead of retrieving payload instructions from a traditional server, the script connects to a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway and queries a smart contract previously linked to the ClearFake campaign.　　Because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed the contract can modify its contents, the instructions remain difficult to remove using conventional takedown or sinkholing methods.　　Microsoft said victims are shown a fake CAPTCHA asking them to verify they are human.

Anthony Scaramucci Predicts Invisible Crypto Adoption

SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci believes cryptocurrency is approaching a stage where mainstream users will interact with blockchain technology without even realizing it.　　Digital Currencies　　The prominent Bitcoin advocate claims that cryptos success will depend on whether or not the underlying technology will manage to become practically invisible to customers.　　An X user claimed that normal people would never use crypto, which is rather common sentiment. In response, Scaramucci countered that ordinary users “will soon use crypto/blockchain without even realizing it.”　　Many developers see a future where crypto infrastructure quietly powers payments, identity systems, loyalty programs, tokenized assets, and so on. However, it remains to be seen whether or not crypto will be able to offer the same level of convenience.　　Mirroring internet evolution　　This concept has become increasingly popular among industry executives in recent years. Several major crypto firms have changed their focus toward improving user experience by abstracting away technical complexities. The goal is to make blockchain as seamless as internet protocols that billions of people use daily, without even a basic level of understanding of how these processes work.　　Digital Currencies　　The idea of “invisible crypto” mirrors the evolution of the internet itself. Most people today rely on technologies such as TCP/IP, HTTPS, or cloud

A bitcoin pattern taking shape right now could send prices soaring to $76,000

SummaryBitcoins price is tracing out a potential bullish inverse head-and-shoulders patter on the daily chart.Prices could rise to $76,000 if the pattern is triggered.The pattern isnt confirmed yet. Chart reading remains subjective, and the Clarity Act uncertainty is a reason to watch for renewed weakness below the 50-day average.　　Bitcoins recent price action has been unremarkable and boring, the kind that sends traders looking for excitement elsewhere.　　But look closer, through a technical analysts lens, and the token appears to be hammering out a bullish pattern, which, if confirmed, could suggest a rally to $76,000.　　That pattern is the popular inverse head-and-shoulders (Hs daily chart: a low near $60,000 in early June formed the left shoulder, a deeper trough near $57,700 in late June or early July marked the head, and the recent bounce from around $62,500 formed the right shoulder. Each trough was followed by a rebound toward a similar resistance zone.

Bitcoin whales load up on $1.2 billion in BTC as ETFs attract $750 million

The U.S.-listed spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds have pulled in $754.69 million in investor funds this week, according to data source SoSoValue. That puts these funds on track for their best week since April.　　“The clearest shift has come in institutional flows,” Liya Kalchev, Analyst at Nexo, said, explaining the ETF inflows.　　“Spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in more than half a billion dollars so far in August, with inflows building through the week and Wednesday alone contributing over $240 million — a sharp reversal from June, when the funds recorded their worst month on record,” Kalchev added.　　Note that despite the on-chain and ETF accumulation, BTCs spot price has not yet been able to chalk out a meaningful rally. That, according to Kalchev, is a telltale sign of the kind of buyer stepping into the market right now.　　“That the reversal has not yet lifted price meaningfully is itself informative: some desks argue the marginal buyer looks more tactical than convicted, and that a genuine recovery narrative likely needs a decisive close above $65,000 to take hold,” Kalchev explained.　　BTCs price chart patterns point to a potential for a notable price rally. At the same time, the fact that the U.S. Senate is unlikely to

Bitget explores licensed crypto presence in Bhutan

Bitget has signed an agreement with Bhutan‘s Gelephu Mindfulness City Authority to explore establishing a licensed local operation, as the crypto exchange seeks a foothold in the country’s developing digital asset sector.　　The agreement could pave the way for Bitget to establish a legal presence and prepare its application for a relevant financial services license in GMC, a $100 billion autonomous economic zone backed in part by Bhutans national Bitcoin reserves that aims to create high-value roles in finance, tech and wellness.　　“GMC is the emerging hotbed for digital finance, and Bitget looks forward to contributing exchange experience, infrastructure knowledge and local talent development as this ecosystem grows,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget.　　Last week, GMC appointed Canadian digital-asset manager 3iQ to manage a mandate backed by part of its Bitcoin treasury.　　Under the partnership, 3iQ will manage an undisclosed portion of the Bitcoin allocated to support Gelephus development. The company will also establish a long-term presence in the city, invest in local talent and provide training and knowledge transfer.

Japan FSA asks crypto exchanges to impose withdrawal delays to fight scams

Japans financial regulator has asked crypto exchanges to introduce withdrawal delays and other safeguards as authorities respond to increasingly sophisticated scams involving digital assets.　　On Thursday, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) said it had jointly requested the measures with the National Police Agency amid growing losses among crypto exchange users and cases where funds obtained through fraudulent schemes are being transferred to exchange accounts.　　The request calls on exchanges to restrict crypto withdrawals for a specified period after customers deposit fiat currency or purchase digital assets. Platforms were also asked to require users to pre-register crypto withdrawal addresses and impose a waiting period before newly added addresses can be used.　　The request was submitted to the Japan Virtual and Crypto Assets Exchange Association, the countrys self-regulatory body for crypto exchanges.　　Other proposed safeguards include customer-specific withdrawal limits, stronger transaction and access-environment monitoring, phishing-resistant multifactor authentication and checks to ensure that the name of a bank remitter matches the crypto account holders name.　　The measures are not binding rules. The FSA said exchanges should determine how to implement these based on their operations, services and exposure to misuse.

Sui targets 2027 mainnet rollout for native quantum safe account authentication

Sui has added two NIST-approved post-quantum signature schemes to its blockchain roadmap as it prepares optional quantum-safe accounts and vaults for future network upgrades.　　According to Suis latest announcement, the blockchain plans to introduce ML-DSA-65 as a native signature scheme for regular accounts and SLH-DSA-SHA2-128s for high-value smart contract vaults, giving users an optional way to protect accounts against future quantum computing risks without replacing their recovery phrases or moving assets.　　Learn more: https://t.co/2BEGG4pr4d　　— Sui (@SuiNetwork) August 6, 2026　　The rollout comes as blockchain developers and infrastructure providers increasingly prepare for the possibility that future quantum computers could break todays public-key cryptography.　　Unlike traditional systems where public keys often remain hidden until needed, Sui said blockchain accounts expose public keys onchain once transactions occur, allowing attackers to collect them years before practical quantum computers exist.　　The network warned that such “harvest-now-forge-later” attacks do not require quantum hardware today because attackers can simply archive exposed public keys and wait until sufficiently capable machines become available.　　Citing research from Google Quantum AI published in March 2026, Sui said recovering a private key from an exposed public key could eventually take minutes on a fault-tolerant quantum computer using fewer than 500,000 physical qubits.　　Sui also pointed to changing government timelines
