PeckShield said the previously flagged fund movement involving a LayerZero Executor wallet was not the result of an attack. According to the security firm, the activity was part of a normal operational adjustment. PeckShield also said user funds were not at risk. The update clarifies earlier monitoring around the wallet movement and frames it as routine operational handling rather than a security incident.

Economist and longtime Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff said holders may soon regret not selling Bitcoin above $60,000. He also said that while he regrets not buying Bitcoin earlier, he still would not buy the asset even if its price fell to $20,000. On July 15, Bitcoin briefly reached $65,005. Schiff has also recently targeted Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, saying its reserve of about 840,000 BTC could lead to "bigger" losses under a monetization plan. The comments add to Schiff’s latest round of criticism as Bitcoin trades near the mid-$60,000 range.

Samsung Electronics is considering outsourcing the backend design work for the I/O die used in Google’s 10th-generation 2nm TPU, code-named “Icefish,” according to a post on X by Citrini analyst jukan. The analyst said Samsung has already asked design solution partners about their requirements. The TPU is intended to run Google’s AI models, including Gemini, and is reportedly being co-developed by Google and MediaTek, with mass production planned as early as 2028. The chip is described as having two parts: a compute processor and an I/O die. The compute processor is expected to be manufactured by TSMC on a 1.4nm process, while the I/O die would be made by Samsung on 2nm. The post also said Samsung has recently added Anthropic and DeepX as 2nm customers alongside Google and Tesla. ADTechnology, Gaonchips, and Alphachips were named as possible outsourcing candidates, with each linked to separate 2nm or AI-related business plans.

Taiwan is set to implement its first dedicated law for food delivery workers on July 21, 2026, after years of debate over pay, safety, and platform accountability. The new legislation, formally titled the Delivery Worker Rights Protection and Delivery Platform Management Act, sets a minimum payment of NT$45 per order, requires stacked orders to be priced separately, mandates insurance coverage by platforms, and forces companies to disclose how dispatching and compensation systems work. It applies to roughly 150,000 delivery workers across Taiwan. The law also changes how suspensions are handled. Platforms will need to explain account bans, bear the burden of proof, offer an appeal channel, and set up an independent review group that includes union representatives. At the same time, platforms must provide group accident insurance, liability insurance, and cover premiums for occupational accident insurance before riders can be dispatched. Still, the legislation leaves the most disputed issue unresolved: whether delivery workers should be treated as contractors or employees. Labor groups argue that by allowing minimum protections within a contractor framework, the law may reinforce contractor status rather than move workers into formal employment. Consumer groups and platforms are also focused on cost. Questions over possible delivery fee increases, and market talk of higher charges or matching fees, have added fresh tension just days before the law takes effect.

On-chain researcher clemh59 said Robinhood Chain brought in 492,793 new addresses within 11 days of launch, but only 1.7% of those addresses had any prior DeFi interaction when matched against user datasets from major protocols including AAVE, Morpho, Ethena and Pendle. That figure sits far below the 20.6% historical low baseline cited for other protocols, a gap of 12 times. A separate review of 11,272 active addresses over seven days showed user activity clustering around speculative and trading use cases. hood.fun, a memecoin launchpad, drew 2,171 wallets, while Uniswap drew 1,658. NFT minting involved 156 wallets. Morpho, described as the chain’s only lending market, recorded zero active wallets in the sample. The data also pointed to concentration across balances and activity. Median wallet holdings were just $8.2, while 112 addresses accounted for about half of total trading volume. DefiLlama listed the chain’s TVL at $119 million, yet the entire lending book contained only seven wallets, with two of them holding 99.7% of the capital. Analysts said Robinhood Chain appears to have onboarded real new users, but so far most remain focused on memecoin speculation rather than DeFi use.
