On-chain tracking later indicated the stolen funds were converted into about 21,957 ETH, with selling activity beginning in August 2025.

The US Senate has returned from recess with the Digital Asset Clarity Act prioritized, a proposal that would prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a retail CBDC without explicit congressional authorization. The bill previously passed the House in July 2025 and later advanced through Senate Agriculture in January and Senate Banking in May on a 15–9 vote, with some lawmakers now projecting a possible floor vote by August. Supporters argue the change would favor private stablecoin issuers such as USDT and USDC, while negotiations are expected to hinge on provisions including ethics language and rules around yield or rewards.

On June 2, 2026, Block's Cash App expanded its crypto features to let users send and receive USDC across Solana, Ethereum, Polygon and Arbitrum.

Analysts said the bill still faces political hurdles, including the need for broader bipartisan backing to clear Senate procedures.

On June 1, 2026, ECB Executive Board member Isabel Schnabel said rapid stablecoin growth could amplify financial-stability risks and reinforce reliance on the U.S. dollar, urging Europe to speed up work on a digital euro. The ECB estimates the global stablecoin market is nearly $300 billion, with USDT and USDC accounting for about 90% of circulation.
