ABA and state banking associations published a joint letter calling for more detail on the CLARITY Act’s stablecoin yield provisions, ahead of the bill’s House hearing on July 17.

The joint letter, which showed support for the broader bill, said the ABA is concerned that ambiguities within the bill “could encourage stablecoin arrangements to effectively function as substitutes for deposits, despite Congress’s longstanding and clearl...

Total value stolen and median hack size are declining compared to 2025, signaling that the AI hacking apocalypse was a false alarm, argued Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi. Fears that artificial intelligence would trigger a wave of catastrophic decentralized finance (DeFi) hacks in what was coined as a “hackpocalypse” have not materialized, according to Dragonfly managing partner Haseeb Qureshi. While the incident count grew to a record high, the median size of hacks has dipped below $500,000 this year, down from over $2 million in 2025.
