White House official: Trump took the 20 per cent toll scheme very seriously

On 14 July, the United States media reported that a White House official had stated that Trump's plan to levy a 20 per cent toll on goods passing through the Strait of Hormuz was “very serious”, a plan that he had been trying to move forward for months. Trump has long been interested in levying tolls and, in April, questioned why his Government “does not” do so and threatened to charge in June if the agreement with Iran was not completed within 60 days. But Trump did not always put his ideas into practice, and until this week he refused to officially announce the plan – partly because there was opposition in his inner circle. “This has always been what he wanted to do, but someone tried to convince him to give up,” White House officials said. “It's always his instinct to him, and he's just back in his pocket.” It is not clear how this system, which is linked to the re-establishment of the Strait ' s maritime blockade, will operate and whether the United States has even consulted with the Gulf States in this regard. According to the official, the details of the plan are still being finalized。

GoPlusSecurity: Analysis of the 13 July attack, loss of approximately $270,000

GoPlusSecurity issued an analysis of the 13 July attack, which resulted in a loss of approximately $270,000. The analysis indicated that the Validateuserop function in the Sodium Smart Account Contract (ERC-4337) had a logical loophole in calling the validatesignature function for signature verification: in executing the Svalidsignturenow, the signaturer parameter was set as the address of the assailant. When the ecdsa.tryecover function failed, it was not able to roll back, but instead called the Svalaidsignature function in the attacker-controlled contract, which was finally validated。

The United States Chamber of Commerce opposes the pentagon stock buy-back and bonus restrictions

The United States Chamber of Commerce and 40 business groups sent a letter to Senate leaders requesting the removal of a clause in the Defence Authorization Bill that would restrict the use of the Pentagon contractor to repurchase shares and pay dividends. This clause requires the contractor to obtain the approval of the Ministry of Defence before conducting these operations. The Chamber of Commerce indicated that this provision would have an unprecedented impact on tens of thousands of companies working with the Pentagon and could result in the transfer of responsibility for capital allocation decisions from the corporate leadership to the Government. This provision was adopted by the Senate Armed Services Committee and is expected to be considered by the Senate this week。

Founded in 2024, the community's website describes it as “the front-line community of techno-optimists”, which aims to “transform the Internet community into a real entrepreneurship society”. The Ministry of Home Affairs of Malaysia indicated that the investigation would focus on determining the identity and nationality of the persons involved, the validity of the travel documents used and the purpose for which they entered Malaysia.

ARK Invest: With the Taifung as a clearing layer, Robinwood Chain received only 0.15% of the revenues, and the prices were unreasonable

On 14 July, Lorenzo Valente, Director-General of ARK Invest Research, stated that Robinhod Chain had a total income of approximately $8.16 million since he had been on the line, of which Arbitrum had taken 10 per cent (approximately $80,000) as an intermediate provider, while the fare as a settlement had received only $1,538, or about 0.15 per cent. The profit structure of the three main participants was approximately 89 per cent for Robinwood, 10 per cent for Arbitrum and 0.15 per cent for the Ether. Valente stated that if ETH was to be regarded as a currency, Robinhod was built here as a sign of rise; if it was to be seen as an income-generating asset, it would constitute a fall. He pointed out that Robinhod's choice was based on technological strength and customized demand, rather than a single L1 such as Solana or Sui, but that the market did not offer the right price with the Taigpo “selling the most valuable settlements at marginal cost”. In his view, a more rational allocation should be 75 per cent for Robinhod, 10 per cent for Arbitrum and 15 per cent for the Ether。
