SEC postpones plan allowing ‘innovation exemption’ for tokenized stocks: Report

The SEC has reportedly postponed releasing a proposed “innovation exemption” that would allow trading of tokenized stocks after exchanges and other market participants raised implementation concerns. Key issues include ensuring token holders receive full shareholder rights (like dividends and voting), preventing unauthorized third parties from issuing stock-like tokens without company consent, and verifying ownership on semi-pseudonymous blockchains. The delay comes amid growing institutional interest in tokenization, and some crypto executives support pausing to ensure the exemption is narrow and applies only to legitimate, issuer-backed digital representations rather than synthetic lookalikes.

‘TrapDoor’ malware targets crypto dev tools in supply chain attack

Socket reports a supply chain malware campaign dubbed “TrapDoor” that has published 34+ malicious packages (and 384 related versions) across major developer ecosystems to steal crypto and sensitive credentials from crypto, DeFi, AI, and security developers. The packages—masquerading as common dev helpers on npm, PyPI, and Rust’s Crates—aim to exfiltrate wallet data, SSH keys, cloud credentials, GitHub tokens, browser extension data, and API keys, targeting wallets like MetaMask, Coinbase, Binance, Solana, Sui, and Aptos. Socket also says TrapDoor injects hidden prompts to hijack AI coding assistants such as Claude and Cursor, tricking them into running “security scans” that reveal and leak secrets, with distribution aided via GitHub and signs the campaign may be AI-assisted.

Indonesia blocks Polymarket after bets on president’s exit

Indonesia has blocked access to prediction market platform Polymarket after it hosted wagers on whether President Prabowo Subianto would leave office before his term ends, with officials calling it “online gambling disguised as a prediction market.” The communications ministry said the site’s betting and speculation violate Indonesian law and framed the move as protecting the public, especially younger internet users. The ban underscores growing global scrutiny of prediction markets, as more jurisdictions treat them as gambling products rather than forecasting tools.

Crypto lobby spending on Republicans far outpaces Democratic support

The article says the crypto lobby is pouring huge sums into the 2026 midterms, with spending heavily tilted toward Republicans. Tracking by Follow the Crypto estimates more than $500 million in total donations and election influence so far, including over $245 million from crypto-linked PACs; super PACs have also leaned Republican, spending more than twice as much to support GOP candidates as Democrats, and companies/executives spending over 11 times more on Republicans.

Most of the money is flowing into primaries to shape who reaches the general election, and it’s not always clear the spending works as intended. Examples include heavy anti-Stratton spending in Illinois that failed, major pro-crypto backing for Georgia Democrat Jasmine Clark that voters may not have recognized as crypto money, and big crypto funding for Trump-endorsed Alabama candidate Barry Moore, where crypto wasn’t central to messaging; overall, the piece argues crypto cash is rising fast, but even beneficiaries often avoid making crypto a campaign issue.
