Odaily News: The sandwich attack bot operated by JaredfromSubway.eth has extracted a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH since March 2023, worth approximately $295 million at current prices. In June 2026, an anonymous attacker deployed 66 counterfeit token contracts, exploiting the bot's automated trading logic to steal at least $7.5 million in ETH and stablecoins, and funneled the funds into Tornado Cash. The stolen assets have not yet been recovered.Sandwich attacks are a form of Maximal Extractable Value (MEV): the bot monitors large transactions in Ethereum's public mempool, buys ahead of the target transaction, and sells after the transaction pushes the price up, capturing profits from the spread. The bot's primary contract had received a cumulative total of 117,007 ETH as of August 28.MEV-Boost block construction is centralized among a small group of participants, with relay.ultrasound.money, Titan Relay, and bloXroute regulated relays collectively forwarding approximately 85% to 88% of related blocks within a 24-hour window; Titan's builder independently assembled 50.3% of the blocks. Monthly sandwich attack extraction amounts have declined from approximately $10 million in late 2024 to roughly $2.5 million in October 2025. (Bitcoin.com News)

According to The Block, the New York City Council has launched an investigation into four prediction market platforms—Kalshi, Polymarket, Coinbase, and Gemini Titan—alleging they employed "false, deceptive, or abusive" marketing tactics targeting young users. Among them, Polymarket was accused of paying social media creators to film videos placing fake bets on counterfeit websites, an incident first disclosed by The Wall Street Journal in June this year. Additionally, prediction market platforms face insider trading allegations; New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order in April prohibiting state government employees from using confidential government information to place bets on prediction markets.
OdailyOdaily Planet Daily News Some career officials at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) were purged after raising compliance concerns about Polymarket, Crypto.com, and Gemini Titan, all of which are alleged to have business ties to the Trump family.The report states that then-acting CFTC Chairman Caroline Pham and Senior Legal Advisor Brigitte Weyls intervened in the relevant review process, helping these companies obtain approvals or avoid further investigations. The two later joined MoonPay and Gemini Titan, respectively.It is understood that the officials in question had previously expressed concerns that Crypto.com was not treating small retail investors fairly, that Polymarket's anti-fraud mechanisms were insufficient, and that Gemini Titan had not completed the review required for its launch.Furthermore, the report notes that during Trump's second term, the CFTC has dropped at least five crypto investigations and has only made public two enforcement cases involving digital assets, both targeting individual operators. In contrast, there were over 80 such cases during the Biden administration. (The New York Times)
Odaily Odaily報道， multiple senior officials at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) who had raised compliance concerns regarding prediction market platforms were subsequently suspended, subjected to internal investigations, and ultimately forced to leave their positions. The report states that these officials had expressed concerns about the following companies: Polymarket lacking adequate anti-fraud mechanisms; Crypto.com not treating small bettors fairly; and a Gemini-affiliated company having not yet completed necessary regulatory reviews.The investigation noted that all the aforementioned companies are believed to have business ties with the Trump family. Sources said that the then-acting CFTC Chair Caroline Pham and her senior advisor intervened to help these companies secure regulatory approvals.As of the end of 2025, two officials who raised the questions were placed on administrative suspension and subjected to internal investigations, while three other officials responsible for crypto enforcement faced similar treatment, none of whom were informed of the specific reasons. The report suggests this has created a signal within the CFTC to "avoid creating trouble for the relevant industry."The CFTC significantly scaled back crypto enforcement during the Trump era: the agency initiated over 80 crypto enforcement actions during the Biden administration, but only two during the Trump administration, both targeting individual operators rather than large corporations. Furthermore, Caroline Pham left the CFTC to join MoonPay, which has a partnership with Polymarket; her former senior advisor, Brigitte Weyls, joined Gemini Titan as General Counsel. The current CFTC Chair, Michael Selig, previously worked as a corporate lawyer for several crypto companies. (Cointelegraph)
According to Cointelegraph, Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal stated that the company has removed the lawsuit filed against it by New York Attorney General Letitia James—regarding its prediction markets business—from state court to federal court, citing a substantial federal legal question concerning the regulation of event contracts. The lawsuit also involves Gemini Titan. New York alleges that the relevant prediction market products violate the state’s gambling laws and seeks penalties, disgorgement of alleged illegal profits, user compensation, and an injunction prohibiting the offering of similar products in New York without compliance with state law.
