The post Yala’s Bitcoin-Backed Stablecoin YU Loses Dollar Peg After Exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The team has said that they are collaborating with SlowMist, a blockchain security startup, and other security partners in their investigation into the hack. Moreover, the team assured users that their assets would be secure and that no other protocol functionalities would be impacted. After a precipitous “attempted attack” early Sunday caused Yala’s Bitcoin-backed stablecoin YU to crash below $0.2046, it has been unable to recover its dollar peg. In an X post, the Yala crew verified the occurrence and said it “briefly impacted YU’s peg.” Additionally, the team has said that they are collaborating with SlowMist, a blockchain security startup, and other security partners in their investigation into the hack. The team wrote in their latest post on X: “Update: All funds are safe. Bitcoin deposited to Yala remains self-custodial or in vaults, with none lost. We’ve identified issues and, as a precaution, paused some product features. Please wait for our green light before re-engaging.” To make things even more stable, Yala has turned off the Convert and Bridge functions. In a subsequent post, the team assured users that their assets would be secure and that no other protocol functionalities would be impacted. Damages Not Disclosed Yet Whether or whether the hack was successful and caused damages was not disclosed by the Yala team. Nevertheless, according to Lookonchain, a blockchain analytics company, the perpetrator took use of the Yala protocol by creating 120 million YU tokens on Polygon (MATIC), and then trading 7.7 million YU for 7.7,000,000 USDC on Solana and Ethereum. According to Lookonchain, the hacker has subsequently split the USDC into 1,501 ETH and sent the money to several wallets. An further 90 million YU are still unbridged on Polygon, and the attacker still has 22.29 million YU on Solana and Ethereum.

Damages Not Disclosed Yet

Whether or whether the hack was successful and caused damages was not disclosed by the Yala team. Nevertheless, according to Lookonchain, a blockchain analytics company, the perpetrator took use of the Yala protocol by creating 120 million YU tokens on Polygon (MATIC), and then trading 7.7 million YU for 7.7,000,000 USDC on Solana and Ethereum.

According to Lookonchain, the hacker has subsequently split the USDC into 1,501 ETH and sent the money to several wallets. An further 90 million YU are still unbridged on Polygon, and the attacker still has 22.29 million YU on Solana and Ethereum.

A $1 peg is intended to be maintained by YU, which is supported by overcollateralized Bitcoin reserves. Despite the project’s $119 million market cap, DEX Screener reports that its Ethereum pool only has $340,000 in USDC liquidity. After falling to a low of $0.2046, YU recovered and was trading at $0.917. But since then, the stablecoin has been under scrutiny and has been unable to regain its peg.

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation

Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation

The post Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hoskinson confirmed for Senate roundtable on U.S. crypto regulation and market structure. Key topics include SEC vs CFTC oversight split, DeFi regulation, and securities rules. Critics call the roundtable slow, citing Trump’s 2025 executive order as faster. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has confirmed that he will attend the Senate Banking Committee roundtable on crypto market structure legislation.  Hoskinson left a hint about his attendance on X while highlighting Journalist Eleanor Terrett’s latest post about the event. Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.  Related: Senate Draft Bill Gains Experts’ Praise for Strongest Developer Protections in Crypto Law Notably, the upcoming roundtable between US legislators and crypto industry leaders is a continuation of the process of regularising cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation.
