Bitget announced a strategic partnership with the crypto data intelligence platform Market Prophit to jointly launch an AI-driven social trading tool. This feature is based on Market Prophit's AI engine, which performs real-time scans of vast data on platform X and combines it with the historical market prediction performance of relevant accounts to provide a comprehensive score, helping users more efficiently identify high-quality trading signals and execute strategies directly on the platform.The tool supports a two-way trading mechanism, allowing users to automatically follow high-quality social trading accounts or to take reverse positions on accounts with significant long-term prediction deviations. By transforming unstructured social media sentiment into systematic, executable trading strategies, it further enhances the complete decision-making chain from information capture and signal filtering to one-click trading.Igor Gonta, CEO of Market Prophit, stated that price fluctuations in the crypto market are often highly correlated with social media sentiment. This collaboration aims to convert complex and dispersed market sentiment into quantifiable, tradable standardized indicators, providing users with more systematic trading references to help them capture a wider range of strategic opportunities in a volatile market.

According to CertiK senior blockchain investigator Natalie Newson, real-time deepfakes, phishing, supply chain attacks, and cross-chain vulnerabilities will be the main sources of crypto hacking attacks.To date, the industry has lost over $600 million due to hacking attacks, including the $293 million vulnerability incident at Kelp DAO and the $280 million theft incident at Drift Protocol, both of which are related to North Korean hacker groups. Newson warned that the accelerated development of AI will make attack methods more complex, including more realistic deepfakes, autonomous attack agents, and "agent AI" that can automatically scan for vulnerabilities in smart contracts, but AI can also serve as a defense tool. CertiK advises investors to verify the authenticity of URLs and use cold wallets to store assets to reduce risk.

At the "Crypto 2026: From Cryptocurrency to Smart Economy" themed forum held in Hong Kong, Dr. Daxue Wang, CFO of Lotus Technology Inc., delivered a keynote speech titled "Crypto Links to the Physical Industry, Smart Mobility Running on the Chain."Dr. Daxue Wang stated that smart mobility is the pioneering carrier of the smart economy. Lotus, a luxury electric vehicle brand with a 78-year history, has been listed on NASDAQ and is actively exploring the deep integration of crypto technology with the physical industry. He proposed three major integration directions:First, safeguarding data value by utilizing the immutable nature of blockchain and privacy computing, allowing users to have absolute control over their personal data, achieving credible data circulation and value flow. Second, releasing asset value by exploring efficient circulation and fair trading of assets such as vehicle sales, brand value, autonomous driving technology patents, and global sales networks through RWA, while promoting credible traceability of carbon assets in green mobility. Third, co-creating ecological value by recording data on driving, charging, and maintenance through on-chain smart nodes, allowing users to upgrade from "car owners" to "participants in the brand ecosystem" through on-chain rights confirmation.Dr. Daxue Wang pointed out that the current challenges include compliance implementation, technology adaptation, and ecological co-construction, but the opportunities lie in open cooperation, promoting smart mobility as a practical landing scenario of the smart economy. Lotus hopes to work hand in hand with the crypto ecosystem to realize the vision of "from buying a Lotus car to sharing the growth value of Lotus technology."

This new regulation marks a shift in South Korea's cryptocurrency risk control system from industry self-regulation to a national unified standard.
