With the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) officially coming into full effect on July 1, 2026, it marks the beginning of a new era of unified regulation in the European digital asset market. As the global regulatory framework continues to improve, stablecoin payments are evolving from a focus on "pure efficiency" to "compliance, transparency, and trust," accelerating their transformation into core infrastructure for enterprise-level payments.As a provider of enterprise-level stablecoin payment infrastructure, WasabiCard consistently practices a "compliance first" development philosophy. By continuously strengthening core risk control capabilities such as AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer), and KYB (Know Your Business), it is committed to building a secure, transparent, and sustainable foundation for global payments.As stablecoins rapidly penetrate core business scenarios such as enterprise treasury management, cross-border payments, and B2B settlements, compliance capability has become the primary consideration for enterprises when choosing payment channels. In the future, WasabiCard will leverage its core capabilities of "global issuance, stablecoin payments, global remittance, and fund distribution" to deeply integrate a comprehensive compliance system with business scenarios, helping global enterprises confidently navigate the evolving regulatory environment and significantly enhance the security and compliance efficiency of their global operations.

According to The Block, the mGLOBAL security token launched by Midas has been integrated into the Aave institutional lending market Aave Horizon, allowing holders to use mGLOBAL as collateral to borrow USDC while retaining full exposure to the underlying assets.mGLOBAL tracks the Global Diversified Alternative Debt short-duration private credit portfolio managed by Fasanara Capital, which includes trade receivables and digital invoices among its underlying assets. mGLOBAL is issued by a bankruptcy-remote entity under a Luxembourg asset securitization vehicle, with net asset value calculated monthly by JTC Luxembourg.Redemption is achieved through Midas's Open Liquidity Architecture, combining 10% internal liquidity on Aave, credit lines, and OTC networks, enabling atomic redemption and destruction without the need to reserve large amounts of idle cash.

The global stablecoin payment infrastructure platform WasabiCard has been featured in a special report by Forbes, which discusses the challenges faced by stablecoin payments in becoming mainstream applications and includes an interview with WasabiCard co-founder and CEO Ray Yang. The report points out that as stablecoin applications gradually extend from crypto trading to real business scenarios such as corporate payments and cross-border settlements, the underlying payment infrastructure is becoming a key driver of industry development.In the interview, Ray Yang stated: "At this stage, the development of stablecoin payments still faces dual challenges in technology and regulation. From a technical perspective, the core issue is no longer the transfer of funds itself; rather, the key lies in licensing qualifications, compliance systems, risk management capabilities, and banking network capabilities."Ray Yang further pointed out that the key to achieving large-scale commercialization of stablecoin payments does not lie in the payment capability itself, but in whether a global infrastructure can be built to connect digital assets with the traditional financial system. As a global stablecoin payment infrastructure platform, WasabiCard continues to focus on the global payment network, compliance systems, and enterprise-level payment capabilities, committed to promoting the widespread application of stablecoins in real business scenarios.This special report by Forbes reflects the ongoing attention of international mainstream financial media to the development trends of stablecoin payment infrastructure and indirectly highlights the growing importance of compliance and the value of building scalable global payment networks in the market.

Wasabi Protocol released a security incident update, stating that attackers exploited a configuration vulnerability in the Spring Boot Actuator within its AWS infrastructure to steal the private keys controlling EVM smart contracts, resulting in the theft of approximately $4.8 million in user funds and $900,000 in protocol treasury funds, with total losses amounting to about $5.7 million.The attack chain began with a public server used for analysis, whose Actuator heap dump was not properly password protected, allowing attackers to obtain credentials for another server and ultimately gain control of the smart contract private keys. This incident only affected EVM deployments, including certain treasuries on Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain, while Solana deployments and Prop AMM were not affected.There has not yet been a final update on the user compensation plan, but "ensuring all affected users are compensated" remains the team's top priority, and updates on the investigation progress will be released in the Discord community in the future.

According to on-chain analyst Specter, the attacker of the Wasabi protocol has transferred all stolen funds into Tornado Cash, completing a centralized mixing operation of approximately $5.9 million in assets.On-chain analysis shows that this attacker and a suspected North Korean-related hacker organization (DPRK) have recently continued to use Tornado Cash to launder stolen funds, including those from KelpDAO and LayerZero, exhibiting a multi-stage complex flow of funds.A typical money laundering path includes: funds first entering the Wasabi Mixer for initial mixing and withdrawal, then cross-chain flowing back to Ethereum, re-entering Tornado Cash for deep mixing, withdrawing to a new wallet, and dispersing to multiple addresses. New tokens are deployed in the new wallets, liquidity is guided to buy and extract liquidity assets, and then cross-chain to the Tron (USDT) system, where funds briefly stay before flowing to OTC-related wallets. On-chain security analysis indicates that this model has become a high-frequency attack money laundering template recently, presenting a combination structure of "mixing + cross-chain + tokenization + OTC exit."Industry security personnel remind that such attacks have shifted from simple theft to systematic engineered money laundering paths, significantly increasing the difficulty of tracking.

Wasabi Protocol announced a security incident update on platform X, stating that users can now safely interact with the protocol contracts to withdraw remaining funds.The team stated that they are doing their utmost behind the scenes to advance the relevant processing work, but due to the incident still being under ongoing investigation, they are currently unable to disclose more details. They will update the community on the latest progress as soon as conditions permit.

Wasabi Protocol stated that Wasabi's contracts on Solana are secure and not affected by this vulnerability. The vulnerability is limited to Wasabi's EVM deployment. The team is working with leading security teams and has contacted law enforcement and the FBI. Further updates will be announced when available.

The Berachain Foundation issued a warning on platform X that the Wasabi Protocol has triggered a cross-chain security incident due to the leakage of the deployer's private key, affecting multiple blockchains including Berachain.To prevent the spread of risk, Berachain has suspended and blacklisted all affected Wasabi Reward Vaults within the network, immediately stopping the distribution of BGT staking rewards to compromised contracts and blocking the flow of new BGT into the damaged contracts. The official request for all users who have interacted with Berachain and Wasabi is to immediately revoke token authorization for the specified contracts to avoid the risk of asset theft. Berachain also emphasized that the BGT reward funds within the native RewardVaults are safe and users can claim them normally; this incident does not affect core ecological rights.

WasabiCard issued a security statement claiming that it has no affiliation with projects and organizations such as Wasabi Protocol and Wasabi Wallet.It is reported that WasabiCard collaborates with Safeheron for custodial wallets, using private key sharding technology to ensure the security of on-chain funds. They work with on-chain security audit companies like slowmist to strictly audit the sources of on-chain funds. They utilize compliance and anti-money laundering tools such as sumsub to ensure that user identities are legitimate and compliant. As a licensed institution and Web3 financial infrastructure service provider, security and compliance have always been the foundational capabilities of WasabiCard, rather than optional add-ons.

According to monitoring by blockchain security firm CertiK, the Wasabi Protocol has experienced a security breach, with approximately $2.9 million in funds stolen. Preliminary investigations indicate that the attacker gained privileged roles after compromising the wallet deployed by Wasabi, subsequently carrying out the attack.The stolen funds are currently dispersed across the following addresses: 0xb8Bb...70dB (approximately $677,000) and 0x6244...f906 (approximately $1.1 million), and the incident is still under investigation.
