A newly disclosed set of Zoom vulnerabilities has shown how attackers could take control of another meeting participants device without any action from the victim, creating a fresh security risk for crypto users who have repeatedly been targeted through video calls.　　SummaryA Security said a researcher used fewer than 20 AI prompts to find three Zoom vulnerabilities and build a working exploit in under 24 hours.The Zoomsday attack could take control of a meeting participants device without requiring any action from the victim.Crypto users face added risk as hackers have previously used compromised Zoom meetings to steal wallet data and other sensitive information.Zoom released fixes between June 22 and July 20, but users on older versions still need to update their apps.　　According to Israeli cybersecurity firm A Security, a researcher used fewer than 20 prompts with publicly available artificial intelligence models to uncover the flaws and build a working attack in less than 24 hours.

BitGo Q2 revenue rises 80% to $4.3B as loss hits $19M

BitGo Holdings reported $4.33 billion in second quarter revenue on Aug. 12, up 79.6% from $2.41 billion a year earlier, as digital asset sales and its stablecoin business expanded.　　SummaryBitGos revenue rose 79.6% year over year to $4.33 billion, led by digital asset sales.Net loss reached $19 million, reversing $38.3 million profit, partly reflecting digital asset valuation swings.Client count grew 26% to 5,833 while normalized platform assets reached $65.2 billion during quarter.Stablecoin-as-a-Service revenue increased 148% to $38.8 million, while staking revenue fell 28.8% year over year.CFO Ed Reginelli will resign September 15, while BitGo conducts a formal search for successor.　　The company nevertheless recorded a $19 million net loss, compared with $38.3 million in net income a year earlier, according to its release.

Blockchain Association urges review of Custodia Banks master account denial

The Blockchain Association has backed Custodia Bank‘s Supreme Court petition challenging the Federal Reserve’s refusal to grant the Wyoming-chartered digital asset bank direct access to its payment system.　　According to a Wednesday amicus filing, the Blockchain Association asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review whether regional Federal Reserve Banks can deny master accounts to state-chartered institutions that are legally eligible to request access.　　The dispute centers on the authority regional Fed banks have when deciding which institutions can connect directly to central bank payment infrastructure. Custodia has argued that the Monetary Control Act requires the Fed to make its payment services available to eligible nonmember depository institutions, while lower courts have ruled that regional Reserve Banks retain discretion over whether to approve an application.　　In its filing, the industry group warned that allowing that discretion to stand could affect state-chartered banks serving lawful industries that federal regulators may view unfavorably.　　“No lawful industry should be excluded from essential banking services through regulatory pressure or unchecked administrative discretion,” the association said in an accompanying X thread.　　The group added that the case concerns whether “lawful digital asset businesses can compete on equal footing” when seeking access to financial infrastructure.　　Blockchain Association says Custodia Bank case could affect

2026: The Crypto Industry’s “Compliance Elimination Tournament” Begins — Who Will Pass, and Who Will

In 2026, the crypto industry entered the largest regulatory “encirclement” in its history.　　On July 1, the European Union‘s MiCA transition period officially ended. The world’s first unified crypto regulatory framework fully came into effect. Among the tens of thousands of crypto service providers operating in Europe, only around 280 successfully obtained MiCA authorization.　　Less than two months later, on August 14, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will hold an open meeting to vote on whether to formally propose a crypto asset regulatory framework known as “Regulation Crypto.”　　This is not a coincidence. Hong Kong, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and other major global markets have almost simultaneously drawn their regulatory lines. The “Wild West” era of crypto is coming to an end, and the industrys “compliance elimination tournament” has officially begun.　　As regulation moves from the “Wild West” to “Wall Street,” the real survival game begins.　　For any centralized exchange (CEX), 2026 offers only three paths:　　Obtain a license, wait in line for one, or shut down.　　There is no longer an option to “wait and see.”　　Lets examine who is passing the test, who is struggling, and who has already been eliminated in this regulatory storm.Global Regulatory Landscape: One World

Bitwise CIO sees crypto valuations doubling on token revenue

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan argued on Aug. 12 that crypto valuations outside Bitcoin could rise sharply as more protocols connect revenue generated by network activity to their native tokens.　　SummaryBitwise CIO Matt Hougan says stronger revenue capture could help crypto valuations double or more.Hyperliquid routes roughly 99% of fee revenue toward HYPE purchases through its Assistance Fund mechanism.Uniswap governance has funded about 7.5 million UNI burns through protocol fees since December 2025.Aaves first ten months of buybacks acquired over 205,000 AAVE using $42 million in allocations.SEC commissioners will consider tailored crypto offering rules at an open meeting scheduled for Friday.　　In a memo, Hougan pointed to Hyperliquid, Uniswap, Aave, Pump.fun and Lighter as examples of projects using fees or other protocol revenue to finance token purchases or burns. He expects more DeFi applications and layer 1 networks to adopt similar structures over the next 12 to 24 months.　　His strongest forecast was explicitly conditional.
