The Ethereum Foundation has launched a $1 million audit subsidy program aimed at strengthening security across the crypto ecosystem while lowering costs for developers.

The initiative, in partnership with:

The Ethereum Foundation

Areta

NetherMind, and

Chainlink

is designed to help projects building on Ethereum access high-quality smart contract audits, which are often prohibitively expensive for early-stage teams. By subsidizing these reviews, the foundation hopes to reduce vulnerabilities and improve overall trust in decentralized applications.

Under the program, eligible projects can apply for financial support to cover a portion of their audit expenses. The move comes as security remains a major concern in Web3, with exploits and vulnerabilities continuing to result in significant losses across decentralized finance and other blockchain-based platforms.

Applying for a subsidy is simple:

 Apply for a subsidy via this form

 The Expert Committee reviews your application

 If selected, receive your awarded subsidy total automatically via Areta Market

Submit your request, receive quotes from providers, and kick off your audit!

The program is open to applications from all Ethereum mainnet builders, making professional security reviews accessible to projects of all sizes.

The foundation framed the effort as part of a broader push to improve infrastructure reliability and developer experience within Ethereum’s ecosystem. By easing the financial burden of audits, it aims to encourage more builders to adopt best practices early in development, rather than treating security as an afterthought.

The program also signals a shift toward more proactive ecosystem support, as the Ethereum Foundation looks to address systemic risks that have plagued the industry in recent years.

MoneyGram has revealed that it has partnered ith NALA, a leading African fintech, to power payouts across Africa via stablecoin settlements.

In an X post, MoneyGram said that it is leveraging NALA’s licensed stablecoin on-and off-ramp infrastructure, Rafiki, to accelerate payouts across both Africa and Asia.

While the CEO of NALA, Benjamin Fernandes, had mentioned the company was exploring a deal with MoneyGram in February 2026, this confirmation puts a stamp of approval on that speculation.

At that time, Benjamin said:

“Behind the scenes, the business has evolved significantly. We’re increasingly operating as stablecoin-enabled payments infrastructure improving settlement speed, reliability, and unit economics across global corridors to emerging markets across Africa and Asia.

RAFIKI, our B2B platform, is also closing some of the largest contracts in our history as more global companies (including MoneyGram etc.) look for better stablecoin rails to move money into emerging markets. Volumes are growing, corridors are expanding, and the fundamentals of the business are getting stronger each quarter.

Grateful to our incredible customers, our team across product, engineering, treasury, compliance, and operations who are building regulated, resilient infrastructure every single day.”

 

As reported by BitKE in late 2025, Rafiki is NALA’s infrastructure for on-and-offramp for stablecoins and fiat conversions for its customers.

While announcing record revenue for its payment platform, Rafiki, NALA CEO, Benjamin Fernandes, said the company will soon enable its customers to settle in local currency or stablecoins – all through one API.

Rafiki is a payment platform by NALA which enhances its remittance services across Africa. The platform powers NALA’s consumer remittance app and also global businesses looking to make direct payments into recipient’s mobile money wallets or bank accounts across Africa.

MoneyGram has likewise dabbled in crypto payouts since 2021. As reported by BitKE back in October 2021, MoneyGram partnered with the Stellar Development Foundation to enable crypto payouts in local currencies to users.

MoneyGram to Enable Crypto Payouts in Local Currencies Globally

In 2014, MoneyGram was the second largest provider of money transfers in the world. The company was operating in more than 200 countries and territories with a global network of about 347,000 agent offices as of October 2021.

The latest partnership with NALA comes at a time when stablecoin adoption hits all-time high driven by regulatory clarity across key markets and mainstream adoption.

Tether has launched a self-custodial crypto wallet that allows users to send digital assets without needing separate tokens to cover gas fees marking a major shift from its traditional role as backend infrastructure to a direct-to-consumer payments platform.

Introducing the @tether Wallet $USDT $BTC $XUAT pic.twitter.com/6yVjenvNoP

— BitKE (@BitcoinKE) April 14, 2026

The new product, dubbed tether.wallet, gives users full control over their funds by keeping private keys stored on their own devices rather than with a third party. It supports assets including

USDT

Bitcoin, and

tokenized gold (XUAT)

across multiple blockchains such as

Ethereum

Polygon and

Arbitrum, as well as

Bitcoin’s Lightning Network.

2025 RECAP | Tether (USD₮) Reports Over 500 Million Users and Over $10 Billion in Profit for 2025

A key feature of the wallet is its “gas-free” experience. Instead of requiring users to hold native blockchain tokens like ETH to pay transaction fees, the wallet allows fees to be deducted directly from the asset being sent, simplifying the user experience.

The app also replaces complex wallet addresses with human-readable usernames, reducing friction and the risk of errors when sending funds.

Tether says the launch is aimed at making digital payments as simple as messaging, particularly for users in emerging markets where access to traditional banking remains limited. The company claims its infrastructure already reaches hundreds of millions of users globally and sees the wallet as a way to extend that reach directly to individuals.

The move signals Tether’s broader push into consumer-facing financial services, positioning its stablecoin network not just as backend liquidity rails, but as a front-end payments ecosystem for everyday use.

Web3 projects lost $482 million to hacks and scams in the first quarter of 2026 with phishing and social engineering emerging as the dominant attack vectors, according to a report by blockchain security firm, Hacken.

The report recorded 43 separate incidents during the quarter with a shift away from billion-dollar “mega hacks” toward a higher number of mid-sized breaches.

Phishing-related attacks accounted for the bulk of losses at $306 million, driven largely by a single $282 million hardware wallet scam in January 2026 that made up more than 80% of the total damage.

Losses from smart contract exploits reached $86.2 million, while access control failures, including compromised private keys and cloud infrastructure breaches, contributed a further $71.9 million.

6 audited projects accounted for $37.7 million in losses – a higher average loss ($6.3 million) than unaudited projects ($4.3 million).

The quarter was also a turning point for security compliance. According to the report:

Q1 2026 is an inflection point: regulators worldwide moved from writing rules to enforcing them. The EU’s MiCA and DORA frameworks entered active enforcement.

The U.S. signed its first federal stablecoin law. Dubai restructured its entire federal crypto oversight. Singapore began enforcing Basel capital standards for crypto exposures. Across all jurisdictions, one theme dominates: regulators now demand that crypto firms demonstrate effective, ongoing security management – not paper compliance.

 

Despite the scale of losses, the quarter ranked among the lowest first-quarter totals since 2023, largely due to the absence of a major incident comparable to the $1.46 billion Bybit hack recorded in Q1 2025.

Hacken noted a growing trend in which the most costly failures are occurring outside of smart contract code instead stemming from operational weaknesses and human factors that traditional audits often fail to capture. This is because audited projects hold more value and attract more sophisticated attackers targeting vulnerabilities outside audit scope.

South Korea has fined cryptocurrency exchange Coinone about $3.5 million and ordered a three-month partial suspension of its operations over anti-money laundering (AML) failures, according to local reports.

The country’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) said the exchange violated key AML and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, including failing to properly verify around 70,000 user accounts and allowing trading activity without completed identity checks.

Coinone was also found to have violated the customer due diligence obligation under the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information in about 40,000 cases.

The Financial Services Commission uncovered 90,000 violations of the Act on Reporting and Using Specified Financial Transaction Information by Coinone.

The FIU determined that Coinone violated 30,000 cases of the transaction restriction obligation by not restricting transactions by customers whose customer verification measures had not been completed.

Regulators also found that Coinone processed 10, 113 transactions involving 16 overseas crypto platforms that were not registered with South Korean authorities, despite prior warnings.

As part of the sanctions, Coinone will be barred from onboarding new customers and restricting certain deposit and withdrawal services for three months, starting in late April 2026. Existing users will still be able to trade on the platform.

The FIU also issued an official reprimand to CEO, Cha Myung-hoon. The exchange has been given time to respond and may challenge the decision.

The enforcement action is the latest in a broader regulatory crackdown on crypto exchanges in South Korea, as authorities tighten oversight of AML compliance across the sector.

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a compensation process for victims of the OneCoin cryptocurrency fraud, marking a new phase in efforts to return funds from one of the largest scams in crypto history.

The program will distribute more than $40 million in assets seized from individuals linked to the scheme, which defrauded investors of over $4 billion globally between 2014 and 2019.

 

“Between 2014 and 2019, OneCoin’s founders sold a lie disguised as cryptocurrency, costing victims more than $4 billion worldwide,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York.

“Today’s announcement marks an important step toward returning funds to those harmed. While no recovery can fully undo the damage, our Office will continue working to seize criminal proceeds and prioritize getting money back into the hands of victims. If you believe you may be a victim of OneCoin, you may obtain a petition form online at www.onecoinremission.com.”

 

Eligible claimants include individuals who purchased OneCoin during that period and recorded a net loss. Victims must submit a petition, along with supporting documentation, by June 30, 2026, to be considered for compensation.

— BitKE (@BitcoinKE) November 4, 2025

The Justice Department said the funds come from criminal forfeitures tied to prosecutions in the Southern District of New York, where several figures involved in the scheme have already been convicted.

“The victims of the OneCoin scheme were misled and financially devastated by promises that were never real,” said Special Agent in Charge Jenifer L. Piovesan of IRS-CI.

“Alongside our law enforcement partners, we worked tirelessly to trace illicit funds and recover them for victims. This compensation process represents a critical step toward returning stolen assets to those who were deceived. IRS-CI remains steadfast in its mission to follow the money and dismantle complex financial fraud schemes like OneCoin.”

 

OneCoin, founded in 2014 by Ruja Ignatova and Karl Sebastian Greenwood, was marketed as a rival to Bitcoin but was later exposed as a fraudulent operation with no real blockchain infrastructure. The scheme attracted millions of investors worldwide before collapsing under regulatory scrutiny.

Before it collapsed, OneCoin rose to become the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Officials said the compensation process is intended to return a portion of recovered proceeds to victims though full recovery of losses remains unlikely.

 

However, the investigations to recover the remaining funds continues:

“The victim losses accrued in this case are monumental,” said Assistant Director in Charge James C. Barnacle Jr of the FBI New York Field Office.

“Misled by falsified statements and empty promises, many unknowingly depleted their savings for a fraudulent investment scheme in an emerging financial ecosystem that would never pay out. With the unwavering support from the Department of Justice, the FBI maintains its commitment to returning these stolen funds to their rightful owners.

Our office will continue its investigative pursuit of these criminal fraudsters – especially locating Ruja Ignatova, an FBI Top Ten Fugitive — alongside our partners at the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and the Southern District of New York.

Any information concerning this fugitive can be submitted online at tips.fbi.gov or via our tipline at 1-800-CALL-FBI.”

 

NB:

Neither the Remission Administrator nor the Department of Justice will ask for any payment to participate in this remission process. Please be cautious of any individual or organization claiming to represent the Remission Administrator or the federal government in this matter. If you are a victim, any communications will come directly from the Remission Administrator or from government representatives with whom you have already had contact.

Dalam memoarnya yang baru, Freedom of Money, A Memoir of Protecting Users, Resilience, and the Founding of Binance, CZ menawarkan catatan jujur tentang hari-hari awal crypto, ledakan cepat Binance, dan konsekuensi pribadi dari membangun di pusat salah satu industri yang bergerak paling cepat dalam keuangan modern.

Tersedia secara global mulai 8 April 2026 di Amazon Kindle dan Paperback, Freedom of Money melacak perjalanan CZ dari kehidupan awalnya dan jalur tidak konvensional ke dalam teknologi melalui pendirian dan pertumbuhan cepat Binance selama periode ketika industri cryptocurrency berkembang dengan kecepatan yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya.

Saat Flutterwave terus menguji beta infrastruktur stablecoin-nya dengan sekelompok pedagang terpilih, fintech terkemuka Afrika juga telah berbagi bagaimana stablecoin sebenarnya menyelesaikan tantangan dalam memindahkan uang di seluruh Afrika untuk individu dan bisnis.

Perusahaan mengatakan bahwa dengan mengamati bagaimana dolar digital bergerak di lapangan, mereka telah mampu mengungkap nuansa operasional nyata untuk menyempurnakan logika mereka untuk pembayaran akhir dan menyederhanakan pengalaman bagi pengguna baru.

 

Dalam satu kasus penggunaan, fintech telah mengungkapkan bahwa USDC, sebuah stablecoin yang diatur, digunakan untuk menyelesaikan pembayaran hampir secara instan oleh platform e-commerce yang berbasis di Inggris yang menjual bahan makanan Afrika dari pemasok di Nigeria dan Ghana.

Strategy Inc., pemegang Bitcoin publik terbesar di dunia, telah mengatakan bahwa mereka membeli 13,927 bitcoin seharga sekitar $1 miliar, meningkatkan total kepemilikannya menjadi 780,897 BTC, saat perusahaan terus menggandakan strategi investasi cryptocurrency-nya.

Pembelian dilakukan dengan harga rata-rata sekitar $71,900 per token, menurut pengajuan perusahaan, membawa total pengeluaran bitcoin perusahaan menjadi sekitar $59 miliar dengan biaya rata-rata $75,577 per koin.

Akuisisi didanai melalui hasil dari program penawaran saham perusahaan di pasar, ekuitas preferen abadi Strategy, Stretch (STRC). Pengajuan menunjukkan perusahaan menjual 10 juta saham STRC minggu lalu, menghasilkan sekitar $1 miliar dalam nilai nominal dan hasil bersih. Tidak ada saham yang dijual untuk STRF, STRK, STRD atau saham MSTR selama periode tersebut.

Jumlah startup dan UKM yang didirikan oleh orang Afrika Selatan dan beroperasi secara internasional, terutama yang terdaftar di AS, semakin banyak yang mendapati diri mereka terkunci dari sistem keuangan global secara tidak terduga, saat bank-bank tradisional memperketat kontrol kepatuhan dan mundur dari eksposur pasar yang berkembang.

Meskipun secara hukum berdomisili di AS, bisnis-bisnis ini, banyak di antaranya memiliki tim, pemasok, atau operasi di seluruh Afrika, semakin menghadapi pembatasan akun, keterlambatan pembayaran, atau penutupan total. Bagi para pendiri asal Afrika Selatan yang membangun bisnis yang kompetitif secara global, ini telah diterjemahkan menjadi gangguan operasional, peningkatan biaya, dan ketergantungan yang semakin besar pada solusi sementara yang terfragmentasi untuk memindahkan uang melintasi batas.

Seorang musisi AS telah kehilangan sekitar $420,000 dalam Bitcoin setelah menjadi korban penipuan aplikasi dompet kripto palsu.

Garrett Dutton, yang dikenal sebagai ‘G. Love,’ mengatakan bahwa ia kehilangan 5.9 BTC, yang terkumpul selama sekitar satu dekade sebagai dana pensiun setelah mengunduh aplikasi berbahaya yang menyamar sebagai Ledger Live dari App Store Apple. Aplikasi palsu tersebut memintanya untuk memasukkan frasa kata sandinya, memberikan akses langsung kepada penyerang ke dananya, yang segera dikuras ‘dalam sekejap.’

Bank Sentral Eropa (ECB) telah mendukung proposal Uni Eropa (UE) untuk memusatkan pengawasan perusahaan crypto besar di bawah regulator pasar blok tersebut, menandakan potensi pergeseran menuju pengawasan yang lebih ketat.

Dalam sebuah opini yang diterbitkan, ECB mengatakan bahwa mereka “sepenuhnya mendukung” rencana untuk menempatkan penyedia layanan aset crypto yang bersifat sistemik dan platform perdagangan besar di bawah otoritas Otoritas Sekuritas dan Pasar Eropa (ESMA), daripada regulator nasional.

Langkah tersebut akan mewakili perombakan yang paling signifikan terhadap pengawasan crypto UE sejak kerangka Pasar dalam Aset Crypto (MiCA) mulai berlaku, yang saat ini memungkinkan perusahaan yang memiliki lisensi di satu negara anggota untuk beroperasi di seluruh blok.

Michael Selig, Ketua Komisi Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditas AS (CFTC), mendorong agar agensi tersebut mempertahankan wewenang eksklusif atas pasar prediksi yang semakin memicu bentrokan dengan negara bagian AS yang ingin mengatur sektor ini.

Selig berpendapat bahwa kontrak berbasis acara, yang memungkinkan trader untuk bertaruh pada hasil seperti pemilihan, olahraga, atau indikator ekonomi, berada di bawah mandat CFTC sebagai produk derivatif, bukan perjudian, dan oleh karena itu harus diawasi di tingkat federal.

Velora, agregator pertukaran terdesentralisasi lintas rantai yang sebelumnya dikenal sebagai ParaSwap, telah memilih untuk menghentikan organisasi otonom terdesentralisasinya (DAO) dan mentransfer kontrol ke perusahaan pengembangnya, Laita Labs, setelah pemungutan suara tata kelola.

Usulan yang disebut PIP-77, disetujui dengan dukungan 65,8%, mengakhiri peran operasional DAO dan mengalihkan semua manajemen protokol, infrastruktur, dan pendapatan ke Laita Labs.

Sebagai bagian dari transisi, sekitar $415.000 dalam dana kas akan ditransfer ke perusahaan untuk menutupi biaya yang belum dibayar sementara program staking akan dihentikan dan pengguna diizinkan untuk menarik dana segera.

Bank dan perusahaan Eropa sedang mempercepat dorongan mereka ke stablecoin, beralih dari diskusi eksploratif ke pemilihan aktif mitra infrastruktur saat mereka mempersiapkan penyebaran di dunia nyata.

Menurut eksekutif industri, percakapan yang sebelumnya berfokus pada pendidikan, risiko, dan kepatuhan telah berkembang menjadi eksekusi, dengan banyak perusahaan sekarang mendapatkan persetujuan tingkat dewan dan merencanakan kasus penggunaan langsung.

Transisi ini didorong sebagian besar oleh regulasi Pasar Aset Kripto (MiCA) Uni Eropa, yang telah memperkenalkan kerangka regulasi terpadu di seluruh blok yang menggantikan aturan nasional yang terfragmentasi dan memberikan kepercayaan lebih besar kepada institusi untuk maju.

Iran menuntut agar perusahaan pelayaran membayar tol Bitcoin untuk tanker minyak yang melintasi Selat Hormuz, saat berupaya mempertahankan kontrol atas jalur air yang kritis selama gencatan senjata dua minggu yang sedang berlangsung.

Hamid Hosseini, juru bicara untuk Serikat Pengekspor Produk Minyak, Gas, dan Petrokimia Iran, mengatakan kepada Financial Times bahwa otoritas akan menilai setiap tanker untuk mengonfirmasi bahwa pembayaran Bitcoin telah dilakukan dan untuk memastikan kapal tidak mengangkut senjata.

Sistem tol BTC akan berfungsi sebagai berikut:

Akun RedotPay menyumbang sekitar 80% dari volume transaksi kartu crypto global, menyoroti peran yang semakin penting dari aset digital dalam pembayaran sehari-hari di pasar yang berkembang, menurut data industri dan analitik lalu lintas web.

Meskipun skalanya besar, platform ini tetap sebagian besar tidak terlihat di kalangan crypto barat. Data menunjukkan bahwa basis penggunanya sangat terkonsentrasi di wilayah seperti Bangladesh, India, Mesir, dan Nigeria, dengan Amerika Serikat hanya menyumbang sebagian kecil dari total lalu lintas.

Langkah Iran yang dilaporkan untuk mengenakan biaya kriptocurrency pada kapal yang melewati Selat Hormuz menandai eskalasi besar dalam cara negara-negara menggunakan aset digital untuk memaksakan kekuatan ekonomi dan geopolitik, menurut perusahaan analitik blockchain Chainalysis.

Teheran, melalui Korps Garda Revolusi Islam (IRGC), disebutkan sedang menarik biaya transit dari kapal yang menjelajahi salah satu titik rawan minyak paling kritis di dunia, yang menangani sekitar 20% aliran minyak global.

Di bawah sistem yang diusulkan, operator pengiriman harus mengajukan informasi rinci tentang kapal dan kargo sebelum menegosiasikan biaya, yang biasanya mulai sekitar $1 per barel minyak. Pembayaran diharapkan dilakukan dalam kriptocurrency atau Yuan, dengan bitcoin secara khusus disebutkan sebagai opsi, sebagian karena ketahanannya terhadap penyitaan di bawah sanksi.

Charles Schwab, sebuah perusahaan pialang global dengan hampir $12 triliun dalam aset klien, mendesak para investor untuk memikirkan kembali bagaimana mereka mendekati paparan crypto, mengatakan bahwa strategi harus didasarkan pada toleransi risiko daripada potensi pengembalian.

Dalam analisis terbaru, pialang menemukan bahwa bahkan alokasi kecil untuk aset digital dapat secara signifikan mengubah profil risiko portofolio. Paparan hanya 1% hingga 3% terhadap cryptocurrency seperti Bitcoin atau Ethereum dapat secara material meningkatkan volatilitas dan mengubah dinamika kinerja secara keseluruhan.

Bhutan telah melepaskan sekitar 70% dari kepemilikan bitcoin-nya selama 18 bulan terakhir, menurut data blockchain, dengan cadangannya turun dari sekitar 13.000 BTC pada akhir 2024 menjadi kurang dari 4.000 BTC saat ini.

Transfer terbaru, termasuk sekitar 319 BTC senilai sekitar $23 juta, adalah bagian dari pola yang lebih luas dari aliran keluar yang stabil dari dompet yang terkait dengan pemerintah dan badan investasinya, Druk Holding & Investments.

Meskipun tujuan transaksi belum secara resmi dikonfirmasi, analis menyarankan bahwa banyak dari pergerakan tersebut mungkin merupakan penjualan atau aktivitas manajemen treasury.
