Compound DAO used reserves to buy $52 million in COMP, prompting mandate-breach claims

A new on-chain reconstruction says Compound DAO reserves acquired enough COMP to hold a majority of delegated voting power at a May snapshot. Delegate ugurmersin alleged the conversion and delegation breached the reserve mandate, while the Compound Foundation said it served governance continuity and the tokens remained DAO-owned. The authority for the move remains disputed.

USDT grew on Ethereum through 2024, but smart-contract holdings stalled, BIS data show

A BIS working paper found that USDT issuance on Ethereum increased through 2024 without a sustained rise in balances held by smart-contract accounts. Their share exceeded 20% during parts of 2021 and 2022, then fell to roughly 10%–15% by late 2024. The shift in proportion alone does not prove that funds left DeFi.

Fed stablecoin proposal could trigger a 48-hour liquidation run

The Federal Reserve’s proposed rules would give supervised payment stablecoin issuers 24 hours to report a reserve shortfall and submit a recovery plan. If the gap remains, they must begin liquidating reserves and redeeming tokens by 5 p.m. the next business day—often within 48 hours. The proposal also allows minting during the rescue window, to avoid signaling distress on public blockchains.

A hypothetical supervised issuer with $1 billion in circulation and no non-reserve revenue would face a $20 million baseline charge, while also needing reserves equal to the coins’ par value. The OCC has proposed a different, business-specific approach.
