Stablecoin war erupts as Circle fails to freeze hacked Drift funds: What's going on?

Solana’s stablecoin usage across its DeFi ecosystem could be gearing up for a structural change as Tether openly challenges Circle’s USDC dominance. 

The catalyst? Circle’s inaction in freezing the $285 million in stolen funds from the Solana-based Drift decentralized protocol. 

While most of the funds, $232 million, were in USDC, Circle failed to freeze the funds, sparking backlash. 

Now, Drift’s $150 million recovery plan is mostly backed by Tether. Additionally, the protocol will ditch USDC for USDT. 

Interestingly, Solana’s leadership is backing the move. Lily Liu, president of Solana Foundation, hailed USDT as the “original and most liquid stablecoin.”

A six-month investigation backed by the  has revealed a serious security threat — over 100 individuals linked to North Korea secretly working داخل Web3 companies using fake identities.
The research, conducted under the Ketman Project, tracked suspicious GitHub activity and developer behavior, alerting 53 crypto teams that may have unknowingly hired these operatives.
🚨 What’s alarming?
These weren’t unskilled hackers. Many had real development experience and contributed to major DeFi protocols — blending in seamlessly for years.
🧠 How did they infiltrate?
Fake but credible developer profiles
Remote hiring via LinkedIn & interviews
Long-term GitHub contributions to build trust
Social engineering instead of complex hacks
🔗 Bigger picture:
Investigators linked these activities to the notorious , a state-backed group responsible for some of the largest crypto hacks in history — with an estimated $7B stolen since 2017.
⚠️ Key insight:
Most of these attacks weren’t technically advanced — just persistent. As blockchain investigator ZachXBT noted, “they’re not sophisticated, they’re relentless.”
🛡️ Red flags to watch:
Reused avatars or GitHub metadata
Mismatched system language vs claimed identity
Multiple accounts with overlapping behavior
Suspicious activity during screen sharing
This is a wake-up call for Web3:
The biggest vulnerability isn’t always the code — sometimes, it’s the people behind it.

Tokenization does not automatically make hard-to-trade assets liquid, industry executives said at Paris Blockchain Week, pushing back on the idea that putting private credit, real estate or other illiquid products onchain will by itself create active secondary markets.

Claim1,200 USDT in the Monthly Creation Challenge

Polkadot (DOT) remains one of the few Layer-0 blockchain networks focused on interoperability. Its architecture allows multiple blockchains to operate together while sharing security.

Recent changes to tokenomics and infrastructure, including Agile Coretime and a supply cap update in March 2026, have altered the network’s economic model. These developments shape expectations for DOT’s price outlook through 2030.

What Is Polkadot?
Polkadot is designed as a multi-chain network. It uses a central Relay Chain to connect independent blockchains called parachains.

This structure allows:

Cross-chain communication
Shared security across networks
Parallel transaction processing

Gate Research flags 5x ETFs as tactical, not buy-and-hold

Gate Research says leveraged crypto ETFs now sit at the center of liquidity and short-term trading strategies on centralized exchanges, but warns their daily reset makes them unsuitable as long-term holdings in volatile markets.

Summary

Gate Research finds leveraged crypto ETFs work best as short-term tactical tools, not long-term investments.

Simulations show 5x products can lose more than 90% of value in 60 days in choppy markets due to "volatility decay."

Strategies using 5x tokens like ETH5S with volume breakout signals and hard time stops show a 67% win rate in backtests.

The latest report from Gate Research argues that leveraged products such as 5x long and inverse tokens are best used in tightly defined, short-duration trades built around "right-side" entries, volume-driven momentum breakouts and strict stop-loss rules.

Founding partner at Castle Island Ventures Nic Carter has laid out what he sees as three plausible paths for Bitcoin as the industry moves toward post-quantum cryptography: freeze vulnerable early coins, leave them untouched and accept the consequences, or pursue a legal “salvage” process that avoids a protocol-level confiscation.

The debate matters because, in Carter’s framing, roughly 1.7 million BTC in old pay-to-pubkey outputs could become exposed if Bitcoin eventually deprecates elliptic curve signatures and a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrives.

The Third Option In Bitcoin’s Satoshi Coin Battle
In a post on X, Carter argued that the Overton window around quantum risk has shifted quickly. What was recently treated as a fringe concern, he wrote, is now increasingly being discussed as an eventual engineering and governance problem for Bitcoin itself. “The thing about the PQ transition is, it’s impossible as a Bitcoiner to claim that this protocol is cutting edge technology if Bitcoin, a monetary system predicated entirely on cryptography, is a laggard,” he wrote, adding that betting the fate of the network on the hope that the technology does not advance would be both reckless and embarrassing.

From there, Carter sketched the upgrade path he expects. After a soft fork, Bitcoin would likely move through an intermediate phase in which users could sign with existing ECC-based schemes or with new post-quantum signatures. Eventually, he wrote, legacy signatures such as ECDSA and Schnorr would be disallowed entirely. That transition, in his telling, is the easy part. The harder question comes later: what to do with coins that never migrate.

He framed that dispute as a clash between two camps already taking shape. On one side are institutions, custodians, exchanges, and fiduciaries that would view a freeze of non-migrated

Ekaterina Bogatyreva

Utexo, a Bitcoin-native settlement layer for stablecoin payments, announced a collaboration with x402 to add USDT support to the x402 payment protocol. The update enables real-time transactions between autonomous systems with settlement speeds of up to 50 milliseconds.

x402, an open protocol for embedding payments into HTTP requests, allows applications and APIs to process transactions using the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status. The model removes the need for user accounts or pre-funded balances, enabling direct, on-demand payments between services.

Utexo, a provider of low-latency confidential payment infrastructure, focuses on secure and fast execution for machine-driven transactions. In April 2026, the company joined the Linux Foundation, a global organization supporting open-source development.

The integration targets use cases where software systems transact independently. These include API payments, access to data services, and coordination between platforms without manual input.

Anthropic CEO to meet top Trump aide today amid Pentagon dispute



Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is set to enter the West Wing on Friday for a meeting with White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, in what could mark a turning point in the company’s dispute with the Pentagon over its advanced AI systems, Axios reported.

The Trump administration is weighing the significance of Anthropic’s Claude model, Mythos, a new frontier AI model focused on cybersecurity.

Mythos is seen as highly advanced and potentially capable of breaching cybersecurity defenses. The AI system, unveiled earlier this month, can scan software, detect serious security flaws, and even figure out how those flaws could be exploited, often with minimal human input.

The latest development comes as Anthropic continues its lawsuit against the Pentagon after being blacklisted for refusing to allow unrestricted use of its AI.

Anthropic had drawn two firm lines. Its models would not be used for mass domestic surveillance. And they would not power fully autonomous weapons systems. These have been core to the company’s identity since its founding in 2021, when a group of researchers left OpenAI specifically because they believed AI development needed stronger ethical boundaries.

After the Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic, the company filed suit. A federal appeals court rejected its initial bid to block the blacklist, but the legal battle continues.

Meanwhile, Anthropic pivoted to a parallel political strategy, hiring Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with deep ties to Trump’s inner circle.

Despite the legal standoff, multiple US agencies including elements of the intelligence community and CISA are already testing Mythos, with additional interest from Treasury.

The new model demonstrates the ability to identify zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers. The Treasur
