: Bitcoin infrastructure company Breez has added a new feature to its developer toolkit, allowing users to send USDC and USDT directly from their Bitcoin balance to over 30 blockchain networks, without the need to convert in advance or hold stablecoins. This feature combines the Lightning Network with an automatic conversion mechanism. After the user enters the recipient's wallet address, the Breez SDK identifies the target blockchain, calculates the conversion route, and displays the amount, network, and fees before the payment is confirmed. The transaction is then routed through liquidity providers such as Flashnet and Boltz, converting the sender's Bitcoin into stablecoins and delivering them to the blockchain chosen by the recipient. Breez states that users still hold Bitcoin while initiating the payment, while the recipient receives stablecoins on their preferred blockchain. The feature operates in a non-custodial mode and initially only supports sending stablecoins outward. Future versions are planned to support receiving stablecoins from external blockchain networks.

Jaredfromsubway.eth, a well-known MEV bot long active on the Ethereum network, has been attacked by hackers exploiting a vulnerability in its automated execution system, resulting in losses exceeding $7.5 million.Security firm Blockaid stated that the incident was not a traditional phishing attack or smart contract vulnerability, but rather an "anti-MEV honeypot attack" specifically targeting the decision-making logic of the MEV bot. Over several weeks, the attacker deployed 66 fake token contracts and false liquidity pools, masquerading as assets such as WETH, USDC, and USDT, luring the bot into executing seemingly profitable trades and authorizing auxiliary contracts controlled by the attacker.Ultimately, in a single transaction, the attacker invoked all backdoor permissions to transfer the ETH, USDC, and USDT held by the bot's address. Data shows that between November 2024 and October 2025, the Ethereum network experienced approximately 60,000 to 90,000 sandwich attacks per month, with about 70% of them linked to Jaredfromsubway.eth.
