Crypto news. Royal judgement.
Samsung’s US stablecoin rollout leads this morning’s six stories, followed by an FBI guilty plea, Binance’s frozen-asset recovery proposal, Amundi’s equity-fund tokenisation, faster Base blocks and new backing for crypto insurance.
The royal wallet shall carry only what fits. This ruling is currently under appeal from the crown.
Samsung Wallet’s Stablecoin Account is live for eligible US Galaxy users, letting them buy, hold and transfer USDC on Solana. Stripe confirmed its purchase integration on 5 November; Solana says the account went live on 2 November.
Former FBI agent Patrick Steven Yaroch pleaded guilty on 5 November to wire fraud and money laundering. US prosecutors say he misused cryptocurrency credentials obtained through investigations to steal approximately $2.47 million.
A proposal posted by Binance on 5 November asks ArbitrumDAO to return 8,425.997 ETH and 74,559,805.2 ARB frozen after the October hot-wallet exploit. It starts a governance process; it does not establish that the assets have been released.
Amundi has launched a tokenised share class of a European equity index fund on public Ethereum, using CACEIS infrastructure. The asset manager says the new class remains part of the fund’s existing operating model.
Base says its Denim upgrade is live on mainnet, producing five complete blocks per second instead of one every two seconds. The 5 November release replaces Flashblocks previews, while Ethereum settlement still determines stronger finality.
Soter Insure said on 5 November that SC Ventures and SBI Group joined its Galaxy-led Series B, alongside follow-on investment from Token Bay Capital. It plans to expand insurance capacity for institutional digital-asset activity.
