Circle’s stablecoin USDC and cross-chain transfer protocol will be integrated into Sam Altman’s World project, allowing users to convert their bridged USDC into native stablecoins. On May 1, the Sam Altman-backed blockchain project announced its collaboration with the stablecoin giant following its limited expansion into the U.S. According to the official announcement, World (WLD) Chain plans to integrate the company’s stablecoin, USD Coin (USDC), as well its CCTP V2 mechanism to its World Chain. First introduced in April 2023, CCTP V2 is an upgraded version of Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol, designed to enable faster and more efficient USDC transfers across blockchains. The integration would allow nearly two million verified users on World who already hold bridged USDC in their World App wallets to convert them into native USDC. This means all their stablecoin assets will be backed on a 1:1 ratio with U.S. dollars and other cash-equivalent assets. Not only that, with the addition of CCTP V2 to World Chain, users will be able to transfer USDC across various chains in a faster and more cost effective way. “The combo accelerates World Network while opening up access to USDC to more humans in economies that can benefit from a fully-reserved digital dollar,” wrote World project in its official statement.

First, all verified users on the World Chain will be able to send remittances using the dollar-pegged stablecoin without incurring high transfer fees. Next, eligible businesses registered on the World Chain will be able to access institutional on/off-ramps via Circle Mint. Additionally, developers can build using USDC directly into World App Mini Apps and tap into its globally distributed blockchain. The project also plans to bring EURC (EURC), Circle’s MiCA compliant stablecoin pegged to the euro, for its users in the near future. Most recently, World announced its expansion into the U.S, making it available for users living in Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville and San Francisco. The project previously faced backlash from countries like Brazil and Hong Kong over privacy concerns due to the project’s iris-scanning verification system. As a result, the project declared that it would allow users to request the deletion of their unique iris code. Read more:Sam Altman’s World project debuts in six American states along with Visa card

Bybit 首席执行官 Ben Zhou 指控 Pi Network 是一个骗局，并援引 2023 年的一份警方通告称其为“针对老年人的骗局”。 在最近的一篇文章中，Bybit 联合创始人兼首席执行官 Ben Zhou 回应了一个非官方 Pi (PI) 技术团队账户的声明，该账户声称该加密货币交易所“被 Pi 拒绝”在其交易所上市。Pi Network 是一个允许用户通过移动应用程序挖掘加密货币的项目。 周先生在帖子中表示：“Bybit 没有向 PI 提出上市请求，声称 PI 拒绝 Bybit 上市或 Bybit 没有通过 PI 的某种 KYB 完全是无稽之谈。” 周某则反击，拿出了 2023 年发布的一份中国警方报告，警告民众警惕一种虚拟货币诈骗，该诈骗以老年人为目标，通过自称与 Pi 网络有联系的行为者实施“一夜致富”的计划。 无锡市公安局在通告中写道：“很多犯罪分子利用‘Ï€币’宣称只要在手机上下载一个应用就可以免费挖矿，还给老年人上课，以发展下线‘推荐返利’等名义扩大受害群体，转卖用户个人信息，骗取老年人养老金。” PI 代币价格图表显示，2025 年 2 月 21 日跌幅超过 50% | 来源：crypto.news 你可能还喜欢：独家：Pi Network 联合创始人讨论主网发布、未来和代币经济学 报告指出，诈骗者会使用免费奖励和礼物来引诱那些希望通过下载应用程序来获取少量利润的受害者，并承诺向他们提供少量 Pi 代币作为礼物。 警察局补充道：“他们通过奖励招募更多人来扩大受害者群体，转售用户的个人信息，并骗取受害者的钱财。” 周先生以这篇文章作为其主张的基础，重申他的加密货币交易所在可预见的未来不会上市 Pi Network，这与 OKX 和 Bitget 等其他主要交易所不同。甚至币安也已开始通过社区投票来试水，决定交易所是否应该上市 Pi Network。 Pi Network 联合创始人 Nicolas Kokkalis 博士和 Chengdiao Fan 在项目主网上线后不久接受 crypto.news 采访时详细阐述了 Pi Network 的模型和挖矿机制。 他们解释说，他们的目标是通过提供公平、广泛的代币分配，同时促进实际使用，确保 Pi 保持稳定。为了确保网络安全，他们实施了安全圈、基于实用程序的 Pi 应用程序、运行节点和其他预防措施等措施。 此外，Pi 用户（称为“先驱者”）必须经过身份验证过程才能获得 Pi。 Pi Network 警告用户警惕潜在的诈骗和不良行为 在主网启动前几天分享的一篇 X 帖子中，Pi Network 警告用户，出现声称与该项目有关联的“潜在不良行为者和活动、骗局以及冒充他人的个人”。 Pi Network 在其帖子中写道：“Pi Network 或任何与 Pi Network 有关联的人员与组织或从事此类对我们的用户或社区非法或有害活动的团体均无任何关联。” 该账户解释说，任何要求用户付费的活动以及做出“误导性金钱奖励或未来利润承诺或 MLM [多层次营销]”的行为者均未获得 Pi Network 的授权。该协议还敦促其追随者查看其官方网站，了解如何保护他们的 Pi 帐户和钱包。 截至撰写本文时，Pi 代币在过去 24 小时内暴跌了 50% 以上。PI 目前的成交价为 0.65 美元。该代币在过去一天的交易量维持在 12 亿美元。 阅读更多：Pi Network 即将在 OKX 上线，交易员表示担忧

Steak ‘N Shake has declared that all its outlets nationwide will start accepting Bitcoin payments starting from May 16 as part of shift towards cryptocurrency. In a recent post, the American fast-food chain announced that it will provide its more than 100 million customers with the option to pay for “original steakburgers and homemade milkshakes” in BTC (BTC). Steak ‘n Shake had been hinting at opening BTC payments to the wider public since March this year. “Steak n Shake accepting Bitcoin payments at all locations starting May 16, making the cryptocurrency available to our more than 100 million customers,” said Steak ‘N Shake on its official account. The post seemed to hint that the restaurant franchise may be looking at accept other forms of cryptocurrency in the future, as it ended the announcement with a cryptic note: “The movement is just beginning….” As of March 2025, the company has approximately 393 restaurants located throughout the U.S., according to data from ScrapeHero. Around 20% of its branches are situated in Florida, with 79 locations in total. Starting May 16, all Steak ‘N Shake outlets in America will be able to accept Bitcoin payments.

Bitcoin surges past $100k as market recovery continues Just a day prior, Bitcoin broke through the $100k threshold, marking the first time it reached six figures since February 2025. At press time, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap has gone up by 4.16%. BTC is currently trading hands at $103,017. Hinting at Bitcoin payment options Steak ‘N Shake first brought up the possibility of facilitating BTC payments on March 8, when it asked its followers whether the restaurant should start accepting BTC. The question drew engagement from major industry figures including, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who replied with a simple “yes.” Later on March 13, the account posted an intergalactic spaceship delivering beef tallow on Mars with a giant Bitcoin logo attached to its side. Before Steak ‘N Shake, there have been a number of popular fast-food chain outlets that have leaned towards cryptocurrency payments in the U.S. One of them is the Mexican fast-food chain Chipotle which partnered with digital payment provider Flexa in 2022 to accept crypto payments. Since then, nearly 3,000 Chipotle restaurants across the United States have accepted payments in 98 different crypto assets from customers. The sandwich shop Subway actually trialed accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies early on in 2013, but only in certain franchises.

ZKSync has recovered over $5 million worth of tokens after a hacker accepted a 10% bounty in exchange for returning 90% of the stolen assets. On Apr. 23, ZKSync announced on X that the hacker had cooperated and returned the stolen tokens within the platform’s 72-hour “safe harbor” window. The ZKSync Security Council now holds the recovered tokens, and governance will decide what to do with them. We’re pleased to share that the hacker has cooperated and returned the funds within the safe harbor deadline. As stated in the original Security Council message, the case is now considered resolved.The assets are now in custody of the Security Council, and the decision on what… https://t.co/X0oejun9Tx— ZK Nation (@TheZKNation) April 23, 2025 The hack, which took place on Apr. 15, involved a compromised admin key that allowed the attacker to mint approximately 111 million ZK tokens, valued at around $5 million, from unclaimed airdrop reserves. According to ZKSync, only three specific airdrop contracts were impacted by the vulnerability. Core protocol systems and user funds were unaffected.  You might also like:Bybit CEO: 27.6% of Bybit hack funds remain untraceable The platform also confirmed that since all distributor contracts involved were already capped, no new tokens could be minted using this exploit. User funds, core contracts, and governance were all kept completely safe. In response to the hack, ZKSync issued a message to the hacker on Apr. 21, offering a deal to return 90% of the stolen funds and keep 10% as a bounty. In addition, Matter Labs, the current sole sequencer for ZKSync Era, implemented transaction filtering to block activity from the compromised addresses.  This temporary measure was implemented because the exploit had a direct link to tokens related to governance. Centralized controls such as this are feasible in ZKSync Era’s Stage 0 rollout phase. However, the team emphasized that filters could be removed at any time by governance. The hacker appears to have complied, sending back nearly 45 million ZK tokens and over 1,700 Ethereum (ETH) to addresses controlled by the Security Council. The recovery marks a rare win in a sector where many hacks go unresolved. A final investigation report is expected soon.
