⚖️ Trump Directs Federal Program to Disrupt Crypto Scam Networks
A new White House memorandum directs the creation of a federally supervised program allowing vetted U.S. companies to actively disrupt foreign criminal networks behind crypto fraud.
The move comes as FBI data shows internet-crime losses reached $20.877 billion in 2025, with cryptocurrency-related complaints accounting for $11.37 billion — more than half of total reported losses.
The program would give private-sector firms a sanctioned role in countering foreign cybercrime operations, marking a shift toward public-private cooperation in tackling crypto fraud at the network level.
🔐 Trezor User Data Exposed in Second Breach in Two Weeks
Nearly 14,000 Trezor hardware wallet holders face a security risk after hackers stole their personal details in a data breach — the second attack targeting cold storage users within two weeks.
The compromised data includes personal information belonging to Trezor customers. While hardware wallets store crypto offline and are considered among the most secure options, the breach affects user data held by the company, not funds stored on the devices themselves.
The incident marks the second such attack on cold storage wallet users in a fortnight, raising the profile of data security risks beyond on-chain threats — particularly phishing campaigns that can follow exposure of customer identity information.
⚖️ SEC set to unveil tokenized stock rules as soon as Friday
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing a regulatory framework for tokenized stocks, with an announcement potentially coming as soon as Friday.
If confirmed, the move would mark one of the most significant regulatory developments for the crypto industry this year, bringing on-chain representations of equities under formal SEC oversight for the first time.
📈 Goldman Sachs Acquires Neos for $2.25B, Adding Crypto ETFs
Goldman Sachs has agreed to acquire Neos Investments for up to $2.25 billion, expanding its asset management arm into crypto ETF products.
The deal adds three Bitcoin and Ethereum options-income ETFs to Goldman's portfolio, with those funds collectively managing more than $1.1 billion in assets.
The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has signaled it is "open for business" for crypto companies seeking federal bank charters, with top crypto firms already receiving conditional approval from the federal banking regulator.
The move marks a significant shift in the regulatory posture toward crypto-native institutions, allowing qualifying firms to pursue full federal banking licenses rather than relying solely on state-level money transmission frameworks.
🔐 Coreum XRPL Bridge Drained of 200,000 XRP in Exploit
The Coreum XRPL Bridge was exploited for approximately 200,000 XRP — roughly $200,000 — after an attacker abused a flaw in the bridge's deposit verification process.
The exploit allowed the attacker to create fake deposit transactions that were never actually executed on-chain, draining 99.7% of the bridge's XRP reserve. The vulnerability stemmed from insufficient validation of deposit events before the bridge credited funds.
The Coreum team has since acknowledged the breach. The incident adds to a growing list of cross-chain bridge exploits, which remain one of the most targeted attack surfaces in the DeFi ecosystem.
