Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has been advised to “enjoy life and give up the scamming” in a heated social media back-and-forth with BlockTower founder Ari Paul. The spat began when Paul responded to an X post by Zhao that challenged The Wall Street Journal’s claim that “As part of Zhao’s plea deal, he agreed to give evidence on (Tron founder Justin) Sun to prosecutors.” In the post, Zhao said, “WSJ (The Wall Street Journal) is really TRYING here. They seem to have forgotten who went to prison and who didn’t. “People who become gov witnesses don’t go to prison. They are protected. “ I heard someone paid WSJ employees to smear me .” However, Paul pointed out, “You (Zhao) didn’t get 25+ years for money laundering and terrorism financing charges and stealing customer assets because DoJ wanted your dirt on everyone else in crypto, and didn’t want you vanishing in Dubai with $60b of customer asse...

US President Donald Trump has rescinded a rule that would have required decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols to report all transactions to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), often referred to as the DeFi broker rule. Trump formally killed the rule by signing a resolution on April 10, marking the first time a pro-crypto measure has cleared the US Senate. DeFi Broker Rule Resolution Quickly Found Its Way To Congress  The rule was introduced by the Biden administration during the final days of the former President’s occupancy at the White House.  It was scheduled to come into effect in 2027, and would have expanded the tax authority’s existing reporting requirements to include DeFi platforms. The resolution to kill the bill quickly made its way into Congress. It was passed out of the House Ways and Means Committee on Feb. 25, with the House passing the resolution on March 11. Representative Mike Carey, who backed the bill to scrap the DeFi broker rule, said ...

The market destruction caused by Donald Trump’s recent economic measures was temporarily lessened when various X accounts and news networks jumped on an apparently fake headline about a 90-day pause in tariffs. Various headlines claimed that National Economic Council Advisor Kevin Hassett said Trump was considering a 90-day pause in tariffs — except for on China. However, the information wasn’t true, and the White House eventually described the claim to CNBC as “ fake news .” Where did the story come from? “Walter Bloomberg,” the pseudonymous X user who uses the handle @DeItaone, was one of the major accounts who posted this claim, stating it was originally sourced from Reuters. Strangely, Reuters public reporting seems to reference a CNBC chyron.  Some who were watching CNBC, however, claim that the hosts were confused by the apparent news, and it didn’t seem to come from its reporting. CNBC was able to reach...

The chief executive of the world’s largest stablecoin issuer is reportedly looking to receive an audit from one of the biggest accounting firms in the world. According to a new report by Reuters, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says the company is in talks with one of the Big Four accounting firms – KPMG, Deloitte, EY and PwC – to receive an audit of its reserves, though no specific group was named. Tether says it holds dollar-denominated reserves for each USDT token it creates and an audit would help improve the transparency of said reserves, which are currently subject to quarterly reports rather than full-on audits. Ardoino told Reuters that getting a full audit is a “top priority” for Tether, a task he says will be easier to achieve under President Donald Trump, who recently signed an executive order to establish a crypto strategic reserve. “It’s our top priority. Now we are living in a landscape where it’s actually feasible… If...

Zoth, a real-world asset (RWA) restaking layer, has been hacked for $8.4 million of staked USD0++ after someone tampered with its proxy contract.  X user @0xtroll first spotted the exploit today. Blockchain security analyst Cyvers deduced that somebody using a suspicious address was able to tweak Zoth’s “USD0PPSubVaultUpgradeable” contract.  The hacker then withdrew $8.45 million worth of USD0++ before swapping it for DAI and back into ether (ETH), where 4,223 ETH (worth $8.29 million) currently sits. SlowMist Security Alert We have detected that @zothdotio has been exploited, likely due to a leakage of Admin privileges, resulting in the logic contract being tampered with and replaced by a malicious contract.
