Ivan Chebeskov, Deputy Minister of Finance of Russia, stated that the ministry does not wish to allow dollar-denominated stablecoins to circulate in the Russian market.Chebeskov pointed out that issuers of foreign stablecoins like USDT and USDC have the capability to freeze wallet assets held by users. Once such wallets engage in transactions with platforms licensed by the Central Bank of Russia, the risk of asset freezes for holders will significantly increase. He revealed that dollar stablecoins held by Russian legal entities have previously been frozen by issuers, while no similar incidents have occurred with Bitcoin and Ethereum due to the lack of relevant technical means.The Russian Finance Ministry believes it is necessary to establish a regulatory framework specifically for stablecoins, prioritize supporting the development of stablecoins pegged to the ruble and currencies of friendly nations, and grant the Central Bank of Russia the authority to adjust the list of related assets.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted that he is deeply grateful for the long-standing funding and multifaceted support provided by the Ethereum Foundation (EF), but he specifically clarified that Uniswap was not incubated by the EF; rather, he participated as an external grant recipient with close personal ties to the EF. Previously, EF Chair Aya Miyaguchi and co-founder Vitalik Buterin publicly shared their views on the EF’s future direction. Miyaguchi noted that one reason for proposing the EF’s mission framework at the end of last year was the growing deviation in technical discussions.
According to The Block, the DeFi lending protocol Radiant Capital has announced it will officially cease operations. The protocol suffered a hack in October 2024, losing approximately $51 million; the attacker gained unauthorized access by deploying backdoor contracts on Arbitrum and BNB Chain. Earlier in 2024, the protocol had also been hit by a flash loan attack, resulting in a loss of roughly 1,900 ETH (approximately $4.5 million). After 18 months of recovery efforts, Radiant Capital stated that it has neither recovered a significant portion of the stolen funds nor secured new financing, declaring that “the DAO has no viable path forward.” The protocol will now enter a “maintenance mode”: its frontend and smart contracts remain accessible, allowing users to withdraw funds, repay loans, and manage positions. Any funds recovered in the future will be returned to affected users.

Odaily reports: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced at the GTC conference in Taipei that the company has selected China's Unitree as its first humanoid robot AI platform partner for universities and research institutions. Together, they will launch the Isaac GR00T reference design, accelerating the arrival of the "Physical AI" era.The platform deeply integrates Unitree's H2 humanoid robot (approximately 1.8 meters tall, weighing 68 kg) with Nvidia's Jetson Thor computing platform, Blackwell GPU, Isaac GR00T model, and simulation software. It is also equipped with Singapore-based Sharpa's dexterous hand. The platform is open to top global research institutions, with the first batch including Stanford, ETH Zurich, UCSD, and Ai2. Jensen Huang emphasized that this initiative aims to lower the barrier to entry for humanoid robot development by providing an out-of-the-box, full-stack development environment. He believes that "Physical AI" will be the next wave following generative AI, with a long-term market size potentially reaching tens of trillions of dollars.The upgraded version, the H2 Plus, is expected to be available and open for general sale in October 2026. Notably, Unitree is planning an IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's Sci-Tech Innovation Board (STAR Market), aiming to raise 4.2 billion yuan. Over 40% of its revenue comes from overseas, highlighting its significant global presence. (Techstartups)
Aave has published a post-mortem of the April 18 rsETH incident, stating that the rsETH LayerZero V2 cross-chain bridge of liquid staking protocol Kelp accepted a forged message during a cross-chain transfer from Unichain to Ethereum. This caused the adapter on the Ethereum side to release 116,500 rsETH without a corresponding burn on the Unichain side. Aave stated that the attack occurred on a third-party cross-chain bridge infrastructure. However, the attacker deposited the stolen rsETH into 8 Aave V3 positions, borrowing 82,650 WETH and 821 wstETH, which impacted the Aave market.Aave stated that the attacker's rsETH on Arbitrum has now been burned. The LayerZero OFT adapter has replenished 116,131.72 rsETH in 5 batches, and the asset backing for rsETH has been fully restored. The affected WETH and rsETH markets have returned to normal.
Blockaid disclosed on X that the Alephium TokenBridge Ethereum cross-chain bridge was attacked. The attacker compromised three out of four Guardian private keys, forged a Verified Action Approval (VAA) message, and executed the attack within approximately seven minutes, stealing roughly $815,000 worth of assets. During the attack, the attacker minted 13.76 million Wrapped ALPH tokens out of thin air—exceeding the pre-attack circulating supply by over 100%—and simultaneously unlocked and withdrew assets including USDT, USDC, WBTC, and WETH from the custody pool. As of now, the attacker’s address still holds approximately $815,000 in stolen assets and 13.76 million uncollateralized Wrapped ALPH tokens; the largest anomalous transaction involved the out-of-thin-air minting of 13.76 million Wrapped ALPH tokens.
