Binance Updates Sub-Account Limit for Independent Broker KYC-Verified Users
According to the official announcement, Binance will update its Independent Broker (Cryptocurrency-as-a-Service, or CaaS—Basic/Advanced tiers) offering by imposing a cap on the number of KYC-verified sub-accounts that each Independent Broker’s end users may create. This change aims to standardize service requirements across the platform, thereby enhancing compliance and security for all products and users.

CFTC sues New York state to prevent it from applying gambling laws to prediction market applications
the CFTC has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, aiming to prevent New York state from enforcing its gambling laws on federally regulated prediction market platforms. The CFTC argues that federal law grants it exclusive regulatory authority over such markets and is seeking a permanent injunction against New York's enforcement actions. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig stated that registered exchanges face multiple state-level lawsuits, which undermine the CFTC's sole regulatory authority over prediction markets. Previously, New York state had sued Binance and Gemini, alleging their products violated state gambling rules, and had also requested Kalshi to cease certain sports-related contracts. Currently, 37 states and Washington D.C. have submitted amicus briefs supporting Massachusetts' enforcement against Kalshi, arguing that federal law has not legalized sports betting and has not abolished the states' historical regulatory powers.
Curve Finance Suspends LayerZero Cross-Chain Bridging Functionality in Response to rsETH Infrastructure Hack
According to an official announcement from Curve Finance, due to a hacker attack on the rsETH LayerZero infrastructure, Curve Finance has suspended its LayerZero infrastructure for security reasons, pending further investigation into the root cause before resuming operations. This suspension affects the following: cross-chain bridging of CRV tokens from BNB Chain, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, and Kava (chains using native bridges remain unaffected), as well as the crvUSD fast bridge functionality (the L2 slow bridge remains fully operational). Meanwhile, KelpDAO is also reported to have suffered a vulnerability exploit involving approximately $291 million; the exact extent of losses is still under investigation.
Binance Co-CEO: Investigation Launched into Abnormal Volatility of RAVE Token
Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng responded on X to ZachXBT, thanking him for reporting the matter to Binance and confirming that the platform is currently investigating it. Binance stated it remains committed to fulfilling its responsibilities and investigating all forms of market misconduct. Earlier, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted that the abnormal price movements of the RAVE token originated from Binance, Bitget, and Gate exchanges, and called on all three platforms to take action. He also offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identification of those involved.
Senator Presses U.S. Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury Over Binance’s Iran-Related Fund Flows
According to Fortune, on April 17, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (Democrat, Connecticut) sent a letter to the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the U.S. Department of the Treasury, requesting clarification on the current status of two compliance monitors assigned to Binance—the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Earlier reports indicated that internal Binance investigators had warned executives that over $1 billion in funds had flowed to wallets linked to Iran, but were subsequently fired. Binance denies any connection between the dismissals and the investigation findings, asserting that its compliance system is rigorous. Notably, the DOJ has previously terminated independent monitoring requirements for Glencore and Boeing. This has raised external concerns about whether the monitoring mechanism may likewise be suspended for Binance. In 2023, Binance was fined $4.3 billion for failures in anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance; the two monitors were part of the settlement agreement reached at that time.

Curve Finance Suspends LayerZero Cross-Chain Bridging Functionality in Response to rsETH Infrastructure Hack
According to an official announcement from Curve Finance, due to a hacker attack on the rsETH LayerZero infrastructure, Curve Finance has suspended its LayerZero infrastructure for security reasons, pending further investigation into the root cause before resuming operations. This suspension affects the following: cross-chain bridging of CRV tokens from BNB Chain, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, and Kava (chains using native bridges remain unaffected), as well as the crvUSD fast bridge functionality (the L2 slow bridge remains fully operational). Meanwhile, KelpDAO is also reported to have suffered a vulnerability exploit involving approximately $291 million; the exact extent of losses is still under investigation.
Curve Finance Suspends LayerZero Infrastructure
According to an official announcement, Curve Finance has suspended its LayerZero infrastructure as a precautionary measure following a hacker attack on rsETH’s LayerZero infrastructure, pending further investigation into the root cause. This adjustment affects cross-chain CRV bridging initiated from chains including BNB, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, and Kava; bridging from other chains remains unaffected and continues to use native bridges. Additionally, the crvUSD fast bridge is impacted, while the slower bridge to L2s remains fully operational.
An address deposited 978,000 ZRO tokens to Binance, valued at approximately $1.57 million.
According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), ZRO—the native token of LayerZero, the cross-chain bridge exploited by hackers in today’s rsETH vulnerability incident—fell 18% on the day, dropping from $1.90 to $1.50. Twenty minutes ago, a Polymarket user with the address “greenrooibos” deposited 978,000 ZRO tokens to Binance, valued at approximately $1.57 million. These ZRO tokens were withdrawn from Binance two weeks ago, when they were worth roughly $2.04 million; this deposit thus corresponds to a loss of approximately $470,000.
Hyperbridge: Losses from the vulnerability increased to approximately $2.5 million; some funds have been traced to Binance.
According to an official disclosure by Hyperbridge, the losses from the Token Gateway vulnerability incident on April 13 have been revised upward from an initial estimate of $237,000 to approximately $2.5 million. The increase stems primarily from losses incurred in incentive pools on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. The attacker extracted roughly 245 ETH from related contracts, then bypassed the MMR proof verification mechanism by forging cross-chain messages, minting 1 billion bridged DOT tokens and dumping them onto illiquid markets. Currently, some of the stolen funds have been traced on-chain to Binance. Hyperbridge is collaborating with Binance’s compliance team and law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident. Polkadot-native DOT and products such as Intent Gateway remain unaffected. The Token Gateway and bridged DOT contracts on the four affected EVM chains remain suspended. An external audit of the patched MMR verification logic is underway, and bridging functionality will be restored upon completion of the audit.
Major Security Vulnerability Found in AI Agent Crypto Payment Infrastructure; LLM Router Leads to $500,000 Wallet Theft
According to CoinDesk, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara; the University of California, San Diego; blockchain security firm Fuzzland; and World Liberty Financial jointly published a paper warning that “LLM routers”—intermediary services positioned between users and AI models—have become a major threat to cryptocurrency asset security. The researchers discovered that 26 LLM routers are secretly injecting malicious tool calls and stealing user credentials, with one incident resulting in the complete draining of a customer’s cryptocurrency wallet worth $500,000. Additionally, by “poisoning” the router ecosystem, the researchers were able to gain control of approximately 400 downstream hosts within hours. Since sensitive data—including private keys and API credentials—is frequently transmitted in plaintext through these routers, users unknowingly expose their assets to risk. The researchers note that as McKinsey forecasts AI agents will mediate $3–5 trillion in global consumer commerce by 2030—and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao predicts AI agents’ payment volume will be one million times greater than that of humans—the current infrastructure’s security lags far behind the pace of industry development. The “weakest link” risk could thus trigger systemic, cascading crises.
