Odaily News: BIND Group, a bank holding group managing over $2 billion in assets, is developing a stablecoin pegged to the Argentine peso through its virtual asset service provider BEN, offering programmable money services to institutions. BIND Group has also announced a partnership with Circle to provide institutional-grade payment and treasury management services for BEN clients that meet local regulatory requirements. Petersen Group is also advancing a second peso-pegged stablecoin initiative through a subsidiary, with support from crypto-as-a-service company Lirium. The product, named DIPE, has already published a whitepaper; Lirium provides related solutions for Banco Galicia and Brubank. The above projects are being pursued by companies supported by banking groups, rather than being directly offered by the banking groups themselves. The Central Bank of Argentina has prohibited private banks from offering crypto-related services to clients since May 2022. These products are primarily aimed at institutional use cases, including treasury management, payments triggered by on-chain events, and secured credit management. In March, Argentina's securities regulator classified the peso-pegged stablecoin ARGT as a security, noting that it had not been issued in compliance with regulations.

On September 30 at 16:00 (UTC+8), while processing funding rates for the BEN contract, the Gate exchange erroneously confused the BEN stock and the BEN perpetual contract due to a naming conflict. It incorrectly issued a funding fee of 0.33 u to the BEN perpetual contract, which was priced at only 0.000585 u. This triggered a thousand-fold catastrophic liquidation for short positions, leaving some users' sub-accounts with a principal of 1,000 u but an outstanding debt to Gate exceeding 1,000,000 u. In response, Gate's official customer service stated: Regarding the BEN contract matter, we have completed an immediate investigation. An anomaly occurred during the funding rate processing for the BEN contract due to an asset identification issue stemming from identical names, affecting approximately 200 accounts. Immediate corrective actions were taken upon discovery, and the resulting balance display issues are being progressively resolved. Users will incur absolutely no losses, which will be fully covered by Gate. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service.
