New York AG Sues Coinbase, Gemini Over Alleged State Law Violations

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Coinbase and Gemini, alleging their prediction markets violate state gambling laws. The complaint argues these platforms operate as unlicensed gambling activities since outcomes rely on chance, not skill. Both companies are also accused of allowing users under 21, the legal age for mobile sports betting in New York. The suit seeks restitution for customers, repayment of illegal profits, civil penalties, and restrictions on marketing, including a ban on promoting services on college campuses. Following the news, Coinbase's stock fell roughly 10%, while Gemini's dropped about 4%.

Crypto Extortion Hits Strait Of Hormuz As Scammers Exploit Shipping Crisis

An emerging crypto extortion scam is targeting shipping companies with vessels stranded near the Strait of Hormuz, according to maritime risk firm Marisks. Criminals posing as Iranian security officials are sending fraudulent messages offering safe passage in exchange for transit fees paid in Bitcoin or Tether. The scam exploits desperation amid the ongoing regional conflict, which has severely restricted movement through the critical waterway. Victims are instructed to submit documents and pay a cryptocurrency fee to secure transit. However, the messages are not from Iranian authorities. Paying could not only result in financial loss but also potentially violate international sanctions, as any crypto transfer linked to Iranian entities may be considered material support. Legal risks remain even if companies are defrauded. The scheme appears to capitalize on earlier reports that Iran was considering a real crypto-based toll system.

MIT Researcher Proposes New Path To Make Bitcoin Quantum-Safe

MIT Digital Currency Initiative director Neha Narula proposes a practical, staged approach to make Bitcoin quantum-safe. She argues that Bitcoin should immediately implement low-risk defenses through a soft fork, rather than waiting for full consensus on more complex issues. Her recommended solution involves deploying a post-quantum output type like P2MR (BIP 360) along with a new quantum-resistant signature opcode. This would allow users to securely migrate their funds to quantum-resistant addresses, provided they avoid address exposure. While this doesn’t resolve all challenges—such as how to handle inactive or lost coins—Narula emphasizes that immediate action reduces risk and provides time to gather data before a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges. She dismisses alternative proposals as impractical for broad use and acknowledges tradeoffs, such as reduced privacy efficiency, but insists progress shouldn’t be delayed by unresolved governance debates.

What To Know About This Week’s CLARITY Act Push—And Why Mid-May Is Now Key

After months of delay, the Senate is approaching a decisive moment for the CLARITY Act, with mid-May emerging as a critical timeframe. Pressure from traditional banking groups, particularly concerning stablecoin yield restrictions, is causing potential delays. Banking associations are urging members to voice concerns to key negotiators like Senator Thom Tillis. Although a recent compromise largely satisfied the crypto industry, unresolved issues remain, including ethics and DeFi provisions. The markup could be postponed until after the Senate's recess, pending further negotiations.

Coinbase Launches Crypto-Backed USDC Loans For UK Users In Latest Expansion

Coinbase has expanded its crypto-backed USDC lending service to UK residents, allowing them to use Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Coinbase Wrapped Staked Ether (cbETH) as collateral. Powered by the on-chain protocol Morpho on the Base network, the service enables users to borrow up to $5 million in USDC without selling their crypto holdings. Collateral is locked in a smart contract until the loan is repaid, with liquidation triggered if the loan-to-value ratio exceeds a threshold. This follows the service’s successful US launch, where originations surpassed $2.17 billion. The move is part of Coinbase’s broader expansion in the UK, including savings accounts and DEX trading, and aligns with its efforts to integrate crypto into traditional finance, such as recently offering crypto-backed mortgages.
