Alabama has become the second U.S. state to grant Decentralized Unincorporated Nonprofit Associations (DUNAs) legal status, following Wyoming. Governor Kay Ivey has signed a bill that recognizes qualified DUNAs, which must have at least 100 members and be established for a common nonprofit purpose.

In a statement on the X platform regarding the recent attack on Drift Protocol, Adams argued that if an administrator key can drain all funds, the project is fundamentally "CeFi," and the DeFi brand would lose its meaning otherwise. He emphasized that all versions of Uniswap are designed without such administrator keys capable of emptying funds. This comes after Chaos Labs founder Omer Goldberg pointed out that Drift Protocol's signature key granted complete control over market creation, oracle distribution, and withdrawal limits, lacking time-lock, multi-signature, or delay mechanisms. The attacker reportedly stole funds in approximately 10 seconds.

This initiative aims to establish guiding principles for determining if state regulatory frameworks for stablecoins are "substantially similar" to the federal regulatory framework. Under this proposed framework, stablecoin issuers with less than $10 billion in issuance could opt for state-level regulation. However, these state systems would need to meet or exceed federal standards in core areas such as reserves, disclosures, risk management, and regulatory authority, and demonstrate robust enforcement capabilities. Stablecoin issuers that do not meet these criteria or fail to seek certification will be subject to federal oversight.

Yinchuan City's Xingqing District People's Court recently disclosed a case involving a dispute over virtual currency entrusted investment. The plaintiff had entrusted funds to another party for virtual currency investment and had initially received dividends. However, when the plaintiff urgently needed funds and requested the return of their principal, the request was unsuccessful, leading to a lawsuit. Through judicial mediation, one of the defendants ultimately returned the investment principal, and a settlement was reached. The court also issued a reminder that, according to relevant judicial interpretations, if a virtual currency entrusted investment contract was signed after the "September 4th Notice" in 2017, the contract may be deemed invalid by the People's Court due to the illegality of the agency matter. In such cases, the losses will be shared according to the degree of fault of each party.

BlockSec Phalcon has detected a suspected price manipulation attack on the LML/USDT staking protocol on the BSC chain, with estimated losses of approximately $950,000. The exploit reportedly capitalized on a pricing vulnerability within the protocol's reward calculation mechanism. Attackers allegedly inflated the price of LML through manipulative trading, then utilized controlled staked addresses to claim rewards. Subsequently, these rewards were liquidated at the artificially inflated price for profit. Phalcon's analysis indicates the core issue stemmed from a discrepancy between the reward settlement price and the real-time execution price, enabling the arbitrage opportunity through price manipulation and reverse trading.

This shift is fueling the rise of a new crypto ecosystem characterized by pay-per-use models and a strong emphasis on stablecoins. AI agents are proving instrumental in driving cross-chain payments, tokenization of assets, and sophisticated asset management. To effectively integrate these capabilities, the industry will require deep collaboration with card networks on payment infrastructure, trust mechanisms, and risk management protocols. A "agent-first" approach is becoming essential in product design, though stakeholders are urged to temper excessive optimism and confront the inherent challenges in scaling these solutions for widespread adoption.
