According to OneKey's Chinese Twitter account, the OneKey team clarified that the random number vulnerability implicated in the recent "Milk Sad" incident does not affect the security of mnemonics and private keys in OneKey's software and hardware wallets. The vulnerability stems from Libbitcoin Explorer (bx) version 3.x, which uses a pseudo-random number generator based on the system time and the Mersenne Twister-32 algorithm. This seed space is limited to 2³² bits, allowing attackers to derive private keys through prediction or brute force. This vulnerability affects some older versions of Trust Wallet and all products using bx 3.x or older versions of Trust Wallet Core. OneKey stated that its hardware wallets utilize an EAL6+ security chip with a built-in TRNG true random number generator; older devices have also passed SP800-22 and FIPS140-2 entropy testing. The software wallet uses a system-level CSPRNG entropy source to generate random numbers, complying with cryptographic standards. The team emphasized that users are advised to use hardware wallets to manage their assets and should not import mnemonics generated by software wallets into hardware wallets to ensure maximum security.

According to Chainalysis' "2025 Crypto Geography Report," Europe's overall crypto transaction volume, after a pullback in mid-2024, peaked at $234 billion in December of the same year and continued to grow into the first half of 2025, demonstrating a mature market landscape characterized by both institutional activity and retail adoption. The report shows that Russia leapt to the top of Europe with $376.3 billion in transaction volume, followed by the UK ($273.2 billion) and Germany ($219.4 billion). Germany saw a 54% year-over-year increase, benefiting from the implementation of MiCA regulations and the entry of financial institutions. Poland and Ukraine saw increases of 51% and 52%, respectively, highlighting the activeness of private remittances and grassroots adoption. In the ten months since MiCA's implementation, Europe has transitioned from fragmented regulation to a unified framework. Circle's Euro stablecoin, EURC, saw 2727% growth during this period, replacing USDT as the dominant regulated stablecoin. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) currently has 15 registered e-money token issuers, managing a total of 25 single-currency stablecoins. The report notes that the European market exhibits a paradoxical trend of "larger size, faster growth," indicating that the crypto ecosystem is in the accelerating S-curve phase, with network effects driving continued expansion in mature markets. The UK market, on the other hand, is shifting towards DeFi platforms, with retail funds flowing into DEXs, while institutions still prefer centralized trading venues. Overall, the European crypto ecosystem is entering a new phase of balancing regulation and innovation: MiCA has fostered the localization of stablecoins, DeFi usage has surged, and institutional participation has deepened, steadily elevating Europe's position in the global crypto ecosystem.

Odaily Planet Daily reported that on-chain data analyst Murphy shared market chip distribution based on the UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD). Compared to yesterday's data, URPD saw an increase of 53,000 BTC around $104,700, approaching the "extreme retracement range of $98,000 to $104,000," prompting traders looking to buy the dip to capitalize. Yesterday's data showed a sell-off at the high $117,000 level, with a new, significant column forming at $112,000. This indicates a significant amount of capital is bottom-fishing here, with a total accumulation of 614,000 BTC, currently the highest column in the overall chip structure. If BTC continues to fluctuate downward, based on the current chip structure, Murphy predicts that "the extreme retracement range will be between $98,000 and $104,000. Of course, the actual situation will be influenced by macroeconomic policies, market sentiment, and unforeseen black swan events."
