⚖️ New York AG pursues $1.37B from NovaTech crypto fraud founders

New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking $1.37 billion from the founders of NovaTech, a crypto platform accused of running a Ponzi scheme, after the couple fled the United States.

NovaTech's platform took in $1.16 billion from investors but traded only a fraction of those funds. James has already secured nearly $6 million in settlements from four promoters tied to NovaTech and the related AWS Mining fraud schemes. The AG is now asking a court to order the remaining $1.37 billion in payments from the companies' founders directly.

The case is among the larger state-level enforcement actions targeting crypto fraud, underscoring continued regulatory pressure on platforms that misrepresent trading activity to investors.

🔷 Ethereum delays Glamsterdam testnet over smart contract security risk

Ethereum developers have canceled the planned Hoodi testnet activation of the Glamsterdam upgrade after security researchers flagged a vulnerability in the proposed gas rule changes.

ChainSecurity identified 13 real-world smart contracts potentially affected by the new gas mechanics, which researchers showed could allow contracts to permanently record failed operations — an unintended behavior. The firm is coordinating responsible disclosure with the affected projects.

The Hoodi activation, originally scheduled for Monday, has been postponed while developers assess the risk. No revised launch date has been announced.

🔐 Coldcard Maker Coinkite Sued Over $140M Bitcoin Theft

A class action lawsuit filed September 11, 2026, targets Coinkite, manufacturer of the Coldcard hardware wallet, after a five-year-old security flaw allegedly allowed attackers to drain more than $140 million in Bitcoin from customer wallets.

The suit claims Coldcard devices generated predictable seed phrases — recovery sequences that should be cryptographically random — leaving users exposed to theft. Predictable recovery phrases can allow attackers to reconstruct private keys and sweep funds without physical access to the device.

The case highlights longstanding concerns about the security assumptions users place in hardware wallets, which are widely marketed as the safest method of self-custody for digital assets.

⚖️ OCC finalizes GENIUS Act stablecoin rules, effective January 2027

The U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has finalized regulations implementing the GENIUS Act, becoming the first federal regulator to complete stablecoin rules under the law. The final rule takes effect January 18, 2027.

The framework establishes federal requirements covering reserve backing, redemptions, and risk management for payment stablecoin issuers. Notably, the OCC rejected a proposed safe harbor — meaning existing stablecoin reward programs, including those from Coinbase and PayPal, will face case-by-case scrutiny rather than automatic approval. The OCC also issued waiver guidance explaining how an existing issuer can continue minting while an application is pending, though the application window has not yet opened.

The rule was finalized on October 21, 2026, giving companies roughly three months to prepare for compliance under the new federal stablecoin regime.

🔷 Ethereum Staking Hits Record 43.8M ETH as Yields Decline

Ethereum closed Q3 with a record 43.8 million ETH staked, even as staking yields fell across major proof-of-stake networks, according to a new Bitwise report.

The yield compression reflects the growing volume of capital competing for staking rewards — a structural consequence of rising participation. Meanwhile, tokenized stocks and traditional-market trading gained momentum on Solana, Hyperliquid, and Robinhood Chain, pointing to on-chain equities as an emerging narrative in crypto infrastructure.

The Bitwise findings highlight a dual trend: deepening commitment to Ethereum's consensus layer alongside a shift in speculative and yield-seeking activity toward newer venues.
