Resolv Says No Assets Lost After USR Stablecoin Exploit

boss

Resolv Labs moved Sunday to reassure users after an exploit hit the issuance mechanics of its USR stablecoin, knocking the token off its dollar peg and prompting decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols with exposure to move quickly to contain any fallout. Cointelegraph reported earlier Sunday that an attacker exploited USR’s minting mechanics, creating tens of millions of unbacked tokens and dumping them through DeFi pools, which broke the stablecoin’s peg and prompted Resolv to pause protocol functions as it assessed the damage. The token dropped as low as $0.14 (86% below…

Crypto, Fintechs Race to Own Stablecoin Settlement Rails

boss

Stablecoin issuers and fintech-linked firms are launching payment-focused blockchains as they try to control more of the settlement infrastructure behind US digital-dollar transfers. Some stablecoin issuers and fintech-linked companies are building a new wave of blockchain networks designed for institutional payment flows rather than the broader token issuance and smart-contract activity associated with general-purpose layer-1 networks, according to Delphi Digital. These include stablecoin giant Tether-backed Plasma, a public L1 network optimized for cross-border USDt (USDT) transactions, which launched on mainnet on Sept. 25, 2025 after it raised $24 million in…

US Stablecoin Yield Ban May See Others Step Up: Ledger Exec

boss

A block on stablecoin yield payments in the US will likely prompt other countries to step up and offer the option, according to Takatoshi Shibayama, Asia-Pacific lead at crypto wallet company Ledger.  Shibayama told Cointelegraph that if a wider ban on stablecoin yields is enacted in the US, it “definitely opens up a conversation” between institutions, stablecoin issuers and regulators overseas about how to respond. He said countries such as Australia have given stablecoin issuers a regulatory carve-out, but most stablecoins, even outside of the US, are “not providing yields…

Stablecoin Regulatory Uncertainty Could Put Banks at a Disadvantage: Expert

boss

Regulatory uncertainty around stablecoins could place traditional banks at a greater disadvantage than crypto companies, according to Colin Butler, executive vice president of capital markets at Mega Matrix. Butler said financial institutions have already invested heavily in digital asset infrastructure but remain unable to deploy it fully while lawmakers debate how stablecoins should be classified. “Their general counsels are telling their boards that you cannot justify the capital expenditure until you know whether stablecoins will be treated as deposits, securities, or a distinct payment instrument,” he told Cointelegraph.
