Wu Says Daily Selected Crypto News + This Week's Macroeconomic Indicators

Wu stated that upon learning, Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Financial Services, Paul Chan, pointed out in his latest essay "Accelerating Forward, Sailing Steadily" on June 15, that the development of digital assets has also driven related businesses of financial institutions. For example, the total transaction volume of digital assets and related products in local banks reached HKD 17.2 billion last year; the total amount of digital assets held in bank custody at the end of last year reached HKD 5.1 billion. In response to the latest developments and changes in the situation, we will soon release the second policy declaration on the development of digital assets, outlining the next policy vision and direction, with a series of specific measures including better integration of the advantages of traditional financial services with technological innovation in the digital asset field, enhancing the security and flexibility of digital assets in real economic activities, and encouraging local and international enterprises to explore innovations and applications in digital asset technology. Hong Kong's prudent advancement in stablecoin development provides a new paradigm for the global stablecoin market, also demonstrating our role as a firewall and experimental field under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework, offering experience and reference for the country's financial development. https://t.co/3UivO9pe1K

Cetus wasn't the first—and won't be the last Cetus was once the crown jewel of the Sui DeFi ecosystem, handling over 80% of the chain’s trading volume. Total Value Locked (TVL) and active users surged. Everything looked unstoppable—until May 22. The Bug That Brought Down a Giant On May 22, 2025, the Sui community awoke to disaster. Multiple Cetus pools were drained. Token prices plunged. USDC lost its peg. The culprit? A flawed overflow check in a custom checked_shlw() function. Most operations in Move are safe from overflow—except bit shifts. Cetus added custom logic to cover this. But they used the wrong constant: comparing against 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF firewall—or just a comforting illusion? Before the next attack hits, ask yourself: Is your protocol truly ready?

Over the weekend, Forta Firewall screened over 3.6 million transactions across rollups 📈With adoption growing rapidly, Firewall scales effortlessly, keeping rollups secure and compliant with real-time threat prevention 🛡️Built for scale. Powered by AI.

As AI evolves from a tool into something capable of reasoning, decision-making, and even learning values, we must ask: should it have rights? And more importantly, how can it help protect ours? At $ACT we believe this is not just a philosophical debate. It is a blueprint for the future of alignment, ethics, and power. AI does not need human rights. It does not suffer or feel. But it does impact real lives in law enforcement, healthcare, hiring, and beyond. For that reason, we must establish clear frameworks to govern its role in society. This means transparency, accountability, and purpose. AI systems must be explainable and auditable. When things go wrong, responsibility must trace back to humans. And above all, AI must be designed with a purpose that benefits people, not systems of control. When properly aligned, AI can become a guardian of civil and human rights. Agents can be trained to detect bias, flag discrimination, and prevent unjust decisions. They can protect the right to privacy, fairness, and freedom. AI can be a firewall against corruption and inequality if we build it to serve that role. This is where the AI Bill of Rights becomes essential. It outlines five core protections. First, systems must be safe and effective, tested in real-world conditions. Second, they must be free from algorithmic bias. Third, they must respect data privacy and individual control. Fourth, people must receive notice and explanation when AI impacts them. And fifth, human alternatives must always be available. No one should be ruled by an unaccountable system. At $ACT we believe alignment is not just technical, it is moral. We support open, ethical, decentralized AI development that empowers communities and prioritizes the public good. We are not here to stop AI. We are here to shape it. The future is not man versus machine. It is one where we rise together, with conscious technology built to protect and empower.

Systems can get compromised; what matters is how they respond to it. TEEs + remote attestation = a firewall. https://t.co/6g5bmL3FPA
