Keone Hon from Monad Lianchuang stated: "I feel that the lending protocol for the liquidity pool should set rate limits on the supply of assets deposited as collateral. For example, if the current supply is 100 million and the supply cap is 300 million, then in the next 10 minutes, the maximum allowed increase should be to 110 million, rather than allowing a one-time deposit of the full 200 million. In reality, no one needs to complete such a large deposit all at once.This is important because when certain exotic assets are attacked, the impact depends on the scale of the exit channels for that asset. Especially in many cases where attacks belong to infinite issuance vulnerabilities, the scale of the exit that can be made essentially determines the upper limit of the attack losses. Lending protocols are often the largest exit channels. If a smart cap is introduced, where the initial cap is slightly above the current supply and is gradually adjusted to the real cap over several hours, it would have a huge effect. With such a mechanism, rsETH depositors could have avoided about 200 million dollars in losses.This also raises a point: the asset issuers themselves should support such mechanisms. If you are issuing redeemable tokens with redemption delays, you are not worried about hackers redeeming directly from you, but you need to compress the scale of external exit paths as much as possible without affecting normal users. Therefore, a high supply cap should be seen as a risk rather than a symbol of strength. For example, the Hyperbridge DOT attack did not result in a 100 million dollar loss because there were very few exit paths; the Resolv attack loss was 24 million dollars instead of 200 million dollars because the scale of the exit path limited the loss cap. This is an obvious principle, but there are still immediately actionable measures: audit the supply caps of all assets and lower the caps when unnecessary."

The SEC released a document (34-105260) disclosing the rule change application submitted by the NYSE, intending to formally introduce a framework for trading tokenized securities.According to the proposal, the NYSE plans to add Rule 7.5, allowing eligible securities to be traded and settled in a blockchain-based tokenized form in addition to traditional forms. The relevant arrangements will operate under the DTC pilot program. The core mechanisms include: tokenized securities and traditional stocks will share the same trading code (CUSIP) and rights structure, and will be fully interchangeable; in the matching system, tokenized and traditional securities will have the same execution priority, and the order of transactions will not be affected by the different forms; trading participants can choose to settle and clear in an on-chain form through a tokenization flag, with specific processing carried out by custodians. Additionally, the NYSE also plans to simultaneously modify order sorting, routing, and clearing rules to accommodate the trading process of tokenized securities, ensuring seamless integration with the existing market structure.From a market perspective, this proposal signifies that traditional U.S. securities exchanges are officially exploring the introduction of blockchain technology into the core trading and settlement systems. If approved, it could become an important milestone for on-chain securities entering mainstream financial infrastructure.
