Today's cryptocurrency update: Blockchain security company SlowMist warns of five emerging cryptocurrency attack methods in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is considering new token listing standards that could lower regulatory barriers for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds, and Deutsche Bank plans to launch cryptocurrency custody services in 2026.
According to a report from blockchain security company SlowMist, cryptocurrency users faced an increase in "psychological manipulation" attacks in the second quarter, with hackers devising advanced and creative methods to attempt to steal cryptocurrencies.
Lisa, the head of operations at SlowMist, stated in the company's second-quarter MistTrack report on stolen funds analysis that while there has not been a noticeable advancement in hacking techniques, scams have become more complex, with an increase in fake browser extensions, tampered hardware wallets, and social engineering attacks.
"We have seen a clear shift from purely on-chain attacks to off-chain entry points—browser extensions, social media accounts, authentication processes, and user behavior are all becoming common attack surfaces," Lisa said.
Reports indicate that the SEC is exploring a simplified listing structure for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which would automate a significant portion of the approval process.
According to cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett, under the proposed reforms, ETF issuers may bypass the 19b-4 application document, which is the form entities submit to the SEC before listing financial products on exchanges.
Instead, issuers would submit SEC Form S-1, the initial registration application for listing, and wait 75 days. If the SEC does not oppose the application, the issuer can freely list the ETF, reducing back-and-forth communication between fund management companies and regulators.
Terrett noted that the details of the proposal, including the qualification standards for cryptocurrencies to meet the fast-track process, have not yet been confirmed by issuers and regulators.
The approval of cryptocurrency ETFs is a hot topic, as altcoin ETFs listed in the U.S. could attract new capital into the altcoin market, potentially triggering a sustained altcoin rebound or altcoin season.
Reports indicate that Germany's largest bank, Deutsche Bank, plans to allow its clients to store cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) next year.
According to Bloomberg on Tuesday, Deutsche Bank plans to launch digital asset custody services in 2026 in collaboration with the technology department of Austrian cryptocurrency exchange Bitpanda.
Bloomberg cited informed sources stating that the development of cryptocurrency custody services will also involve Swiss technology provider Taurus, supported by Deutsche Bank.
If confirmed, Deutsche Bank's latest plan would mark the bank's latest attempt to enter the cryptocurrency storage market since revealing such ambitions in 2020.
In early June, Sabih Behzad, head of digital assets at Deutsche Bank, stated that the bank is considering entering the stablecoin market, including issuing its own stablecoin or joining stablecoin projects.
"We certainly see the momentum of stablecoins and the regulatory support environment, especially in the U.S.," Behzad said, adding:
Additionally, reports indicate that Deutsche Bank is also evaluating whether to develop its own tokenized deposit solution for payments.
