According to BBX data, the global competition between crypto compliance infrastructure and traditional financial capital entered a heated stage yesterday, with brokerage giants and old money on Wall Street clashing over the advancement of legislation. The core dynamics are as follows:Coinbase receives CFTC 16-page no-action letter authorization: Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: $COIN) officially announced that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has issued a 16-page "no-action letter" to its subsidiary CFM. This authorizes CFM to officially offer perpetual contracts and options for "digital commodities" such as BTC, ETH, SOL, and DOGE to U.S. institutional clients through the foreign exchange Deribit FZE, which it previously acquired for $2.9 billion. The letter also allows clients to directly transfer digital assets and stablecoins to Deribit FZE as collateral.Dimon publicly declares war on the CLARITY Act: Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: $JPM), publicly expressed strong opposition to the CLARITY Act currently advancing in the Senate during a Fox Business program.

He formed a coalition with the American Bankers Association, publicly committing to "fight to the end" against this legislation.

The Zama legal team has intervened and is isolating the flagged address, and will restore access for all unaffected participants as soon as possible.

According to SlowMist monitoring, the ONTR token contract has an access control vulnerability due to the onlyOwner modifier, resulting in a loss of 49.4801 WETH, worth approximately $98,000. The attacker (0xe806...b760) exploited this vulnerability by calling transferOwnership() to set the attacker contract as the owner when the owner was address(0) through permission checks, then called desertJasper() to add hidden balances to the queue, and subsequently called glenFlash() to execute ashBud(), directly increasing the address balance by 1e30 basic units without increasing the totalSupply. The attacker transferred the inflated tokens to PancakePair (0xd46d...83fd) and exchanged them for WETH through swap().

According to data from Dune Analytics, the payment-specific Layer 1 blockchain Tempo, incubated by Stripe, has processed 3.9 million transactions across 177,000 addresses since its mainnet launch on March 18. Its native TIP-20 stablecoin standard currently supports a circulating supply of over $25 million, covering multiple issuers and yield-bearing token variants. The TIP-20 standard is implemented through precompiled contracts rather than ERC-20 contracts, making the stablecoin native to the Tempo protocol, allowing issuers to utilize programmable strategies including transfer rules, whitelists, and fee logic.The distribution of stablecoin supply spans multiple issuers, with pathUSD leading at $8.2 million, followed by USDB, USDT0, and USDC.e and EURC.e bridged through Stargate, each holding between $4.5 million and $5.5 million in circulation. The Tempo architecture supports direct payment of Gas fees in stablecoins, eliminating the need for a native token. Tempo has been fully indexed by Dune Analytics, allowing for direct comparison with stablecoin data from major blockchains such as Tron, Solana, and Ethereum.

According to CoinDesk, European stablecoin issuer StablR has suspended the minting and redemption of USDR and EURR due to a hacker attack, and has requested exchanges to stop trading and deposits/withdrawals of the two currencies. The attacker exploited a vulnerability in its Ethereum 1-of-3 multi-signature wallet with a low threshold, compromised a single private key, added themselves as an administrator, and removed the original signers, resulting in the over-issuance of approximately 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR, valued at approximately $13.5 million at the pegged price, with actual cashing out around $2.8 million.The incident led to both stablecoins being under-collateralized, no longer meeting the MiCA requirement of a 1:1 full reserve. USDR briefly depegged but recovered to about $0.994, while EURR fell to about $0.548. StablR stated that it has initiated an investigation and will report to the Maltese regulators and relevant authorities.
