Welcome to CoinRank Daily Data Report. In this column series, CoinRank will provide important daily cryptocurrency data news, allowing readers to quickly understand the latest developments in the cryptocurrency market.
Clawdbot gateway exposed, hundreds of API keys and private chat logs vulnerable to attack
SlowMist’s Chief Information Security Officer, 23pds, issued a warning stating that the Clawdbot gateway is exposed, with hundreds of API keys and private chat logs vulnerable to attack. Unauthenticated instances are exposed online, and multiple code flaws exist that could lead to credential theft and remote code execution.
The surge in gold and silver prices has masked the strengthening fundamentals of cryptocurrencies
Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee posted on the X platform, stating, “The parabolic surge in gold and silver is masking the continued strengthening of the intrinsic fundamentals of cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum and Bitcoin.
As emphasized at the Davos 2026 forum, financial institutions have clearly identified Ethereum and smart blockchain platforms as the foundation for building their future financial infrastructure.
When fundamentals show an ‘upward climb,’ it’s only a matter of time before prices rise accordingly.”
The decline in stablecoin market capitalization indicates that funds are flowing into gold and silver, rather than Bitcoin
Crypto analytics platform Santiment points out that the total market capitalization of stablecoins has decreased by $2.24 billion in the past 10 days, potentially indicating an outflow of funds from the crypto ecosystem or delaying market recovery.
The agency analyzes that this capital appears to have shifted to traditional safe-haven assets such as gold and silver, driving their prices to new highs, while Bitcoin, the overall crypto market, and stablecoin market capitalization have seen a correction.
Santiment stated that the decline in stablecoin market capitalization reflects investors converting to fiat currency rather than preparing to buy on dips, while increased demand for precious metals indicates a market shift towards safe-haven assets.
Historical data shows that strong recovery in the crypto market often begins with a rebound in stablecoin market capitalization, signifying new capital inflows and restored confidence.
Prior to this, altcoins and other risk assets may continue to face pressure. While Bitcoin has been relatively resilient, the shrinking supply of stablecoins will still limit overall upside potential.
The scalability hierarchy of blockchain consists of computation, data, and state
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explained the scalability hierarchy of blockchain as computation, data, and state. He stated that computation is relatively the easiest to scale, achievable through parallel processing, requiring “hints” from block builders, or directly replacing large amounts of computation with proofs.
Data resides in the intermediate layer. If data availability is guaranteed, this requirement cannot be circumvented, but it can be split using techniques such as sharding and erasure coding (e.g., PeerDAS), allowing for graceful degradation (e.g., a node can still produce blocks of 1/10th the size even with only 1/10 of the data capacity).
State is the most difficult to extend. To ensure the verifiability of a single transaction, the complete state must be obtained. If the state is replaced with a tree and only the root hash is retained, updating the root still requires the complete state. Although methods for splitting the state exist, these methods typically involve architectural changes and lack general applicability.
Therefore, he concludes that if a solution can replace state with data, or data with computation, without introducing new centralized risks, it should, in principle, be seriously considered.
