After a record month of crypto exploits, Anthropic opened Claude Security to public beta. The tool scans codebases for high-severity vulnerabilities including injection flaws, authentication bypasses, and logic errors that pattern-matching scanners typically miss.

Unlike traditional tools, it runs an adversarial verification pass on its own results before surfacing them, reducing false positives without requiring a rule update.

Every suggested fix requires human review before deployment. Available now for Claude Enterprise, Team and Max coming soon.

This collaboration allows U.S.-listed issuers to issue equity securities in tokenized form. The new structure is built around Issuer-Sponsored Tokens, ISTs, which can exist as part of a company’s capital alongside traditional shares.

The key point is that these are not synthetic or derivative tokens wrapped around shares. ISTs are representing direct equity ownership in token form, without changing the underlying equity or relying on a separate instrument.

For shareholders, the potential benefit is a more digital-native ownership experience. Investors could hold tokenized equity in a wallet, consolidate digital holdings, and still receive issuer communications and corporate action flows directly.

This week was heavy on payment infrastructure, legacy players and crypto-native ones moving in the same direction. Plus an exploit, a recovery, and a few structural shifts worth noting.

MEGA lists today at 11:00 AM UTC, with listings across major venues including Coinbase, Binance, Upbit, OKX and others.

With a current pre-market price near $0.18–$0.19 and implied FDV around $1.8B–$1.9B, MEGA enters price discovery as one of the highest-valued Layer 2, now backed by a live app ecosystem.

RWA adoption is becoming measurable on-chain, and Plume stands out as the largest network by number of RWA holders. Its 257K+ holder base highlights growing demand for accessible real-world asset exposure, not just institutional-scale tokenization.

According to Blockaid, the Wasabi deployer EOA was used to grant an attacker-controlled helper contract admin access. The attacker then upgraded the protocol’s UUPS contracts, including the perp vaults, to a malicious implementation.

Wasabi is a platform for leveraged trading using pooled on-chain liquidity. It allows users to borrow funds from shared vaults to amplify exposure, similar to perpetual-style trading.

Pump fun has introduced Charity Coins, a new feature designed to let creators redirect fees to charitable causes. The launch comes through an exclusive integration with Donate gg, which enables secure and compliant donations to more than 10,000 charities.

The feature aims to reduce uncertainty around manual creator fee donations, including issues related to trader trust, PVP behavior, and potential tax complications.

Coin admins can now choose a charity as a fee recipient through creator fee settings on the Pump fun app or website. Donate gg will process the donation and handle the transfer to the selected charity.

Sweat Economy, a move-to-earn project on NEAR, was hit by an active exploit, with the attacker reportedly controlling up to 17.7B SWEAT tokens and draining around $2.5M.

What is known so far. The attacker used a custom Rust-based drainer contract to move funds through Ref Finance, swapping part of the assets into NEAR and USDC before splitting them across multiple addresses.

Security firm Blockaid issued a public alert during the exploit, while onchain monitors warned the drained amount could represent a major share of circulating liquidity, creating direct pressure on token supply and market stability. 

No official figures have been confirmed by the team so far.
