πŸš€ Baanx and Visa Launch Stablecoin Payment Card Linked to Self-Custody Wallets

According to Odaily, Baanx has partnered with Visa to introduce a stablecoin payment card linked to self-custody wallets, initially supporting Circle's USDC. This card allows holders to spend USDC directly from their crypto wallets. Through smart contracts, the USDC balance is transferred to Baanx in real-time upon authorization, where it is then converted to fiat currency for payment completion. Baanx is also collaborating with Mastercard to develop a wallet card linked to MetaMask. The company stated, "We are empowering people to hold and spend dollar stablecoins in a self-custody, real-time mannerβ€”this is the future of finance."

πŸš€ Blockchain Security Platform Uncovers New Phishing Attack Exploiting Ethereum Upgrade

According to PANews, blockchain security platform Scam Sniffer has revealed that the phishing group Inferno Drainer has recently exploited the Ethereum EIP-7702 upgrade feature to carry out a new type of attack, resulting in a single loss of $150,000. EIP-7702 is a crucial part of the Pectra upgrade, allowing externally owned accounts (EOA) to temporarily act as smart contract wallets during transactions. Attackers have used authorized MetaMask wallets to perform bulk token transfer operations.

Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist Technology, highlighted that this attack signifies an upgrade in phishing strategies. Instead of directly hijacking wallets, attackers are now using the "execute" command to perform malicious bulk authorizations in the background. Security experts recommend users regularly check the status of token authorizations and verify whether their wallets have been maliciously delegated using tools like Etherscan.

πŸš€ Consensys Urges FTC to Prioritize Neutral Security Measures in Nomad Case

Ethereum's privacy-focused EVM Layer 2 network, Payy, has officially launched. According to Foresight News, the network allows users to conduct private transactions automatically after adding it to MetaMask, eliminating the need for complex operations.

πŸš€ Joseph Lubin Discusses Cryptocurrency Market Outlook and Ethereum's Role

Joseph Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, recently shared his insights on the current state and future trajectory of the cryptocurrency market during an interview in Hong Kong. According to ChainCatcher, Lubin maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook, emphasizing that the digital asset economy is driven by functional utility rather than mere speculation.

Lubin advised against viewing Bitcoin as a traditional safe-haven asset at this stage. He described the broader crypto landscape as akin to a "startup ecosystem," suggesting that positioning Bitcoin as a secure store of value might be premature given the current developmental challenges. In contrast, he highlighted the stronger functional demand for Ethereum's native cryptocurrency, ETH.

Lubin argued that ETH's utility in powering decentralized applications, smart contracts, and broader ecosystem activities gives it an advantage in real-world adoption over Bitcoin's primary narrative. He underscored Ethereum's enduring significance in the evolving financial infrastructure.

He noted that institutional involvement is deepening, with major banks, trading platforms, and financial networks increasingly building on Ethereum-based technologies and second-layer scaling solutions. This institutional momentum, he stated, indicates that despite market volatility, Ethereum is transitioning towards becoming the foundational layer of next-generation finance.

Overall, Lubin's remarks reflect confidence in Ethereum's long-term potential despite short-term market pressures. He portrayed the ecosystem as resilient and innovative, with tools like Ethereum and MetaMask poised to drive meaningful progress in the digital economy.
