▌ Coinbase: The case is far from over when the Ministry of Finance does not promise not to re-sanction Tornado Cash
Coinbase Chief Legal Officer paulgrewal.eth posted on X platform that the U.S. Treasury Department argued that the court no longer needed to make a final judgment after rescinding the Tornado Cash sanctions list, but the case is far from over when the Treasury Department has not promised not to re-implement the sanctions.
"Power will not voluntarily retreat, but will only struggle until it is powerless to turn the world back." The Ministry of Finance filed another complaint against Tornado Cash before getting off work on Friday, and despite reluctance to cancel the sanctions list, it claimed that the final court decision was no longer needed - which was clearly contrary to the principles of the law.
▌U.S . Senator Elizabeth Warren questioned Paul Atkins ' connection with FTX and Trump's cryptocurrency
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a 34-page inquiry letter to SEC chairman nominee Paul Atkins, focusing on its connection to bankrupt crypto trading platform FTX and potential conflicts of interest brought about by Trump's release of Memecoin. Warren pointed out in the letter that Patomak Global Partners, a consulting company founded by Atkins, provided consulting services to FTX in 2022 and has multiple banks, crypto exchanges and DeFi platform clients. He himself also joined the advisory board of the blockchain industry association The Digital Chamber in 2020. Warren questioned whether Atkins’ close relationship with crypto customers would affect its stance on crypto regulation and asked whether it had directly advised former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Atkins will attend a nomination hearing on the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. Patomak Global Partners has not commented on this yet.

▌ Arbitrum DAO plans to withdraw its 225 million ARB game incentive plan, questioning poor project management and insufficient transparency
Arbitrum DAO is considering a proposal to cancel financial support for the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP) and recover 225 million ARB tokens previously allocated. The proposal pointed out that the plan was approved under overly optimistic market expectations and has now proven unsustainable. Treasure DAO, one of the main supporters, has withdrawn from Arbitrum, and other key contributors have also experienced churn or decreased enthusiasm. In addition, GCP is accused of having problems such as opaque use of funds, increasing team compensation, and reducing reporting obligations. The proposal says that the project has not even established basic operations and transparency. GCP committee member David Bolger responded that Arbitrum has become an important gathering place for game projects, attracting more than 25 game-related chains, including Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Tap Nation, to build on its technology stack.
GCP was launched in March 2024 to promote the development of the Web3 gaming ecosystem on Arbitrum, and it was originally scheduled to use most of the funds for game projects within three years. At present, discussions on community governance are still in progress and no clear consensus has been formed.

The FBI said on Monday that it has set up a task force with the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco, Guns and Explosives Administration to investigate the attacks against Tesla.

Tesla (TSLA.O) has suffered a series of attacks and destruction for its boss Musk's role in the Trump administration. “The increased violence against Tesla has been investigating this, and over the past few days we have taken additional measures to combat, as well as a coordinated response,” FBI Director Cash Patel said on social media platforms. “This is domestic terrorism,” Patel wrote. “Those responsible persons will be hunted, caught and brought to justice.”

We need to be more prepared than ever to revise our forecasts, so be cautious.” Escriva said: “There are some upside risks, such as fiscal policy, as long as it can last, but downside risks are more obvious than upside risks.” Escriva said the current environment is “very uncertain” and the U.S. government is the main reason for this.

▌What is the teardrop attack in cryptocurrency?
Tears attacks exploit the way the system reorganizes fragmented packets by sending overlapping fragments during transmission, which the target system fails to rebuild correctly, resulting in a denial of service. Furthermore, teardrop attacks can target services related to the blockchain ecosystem, such as wallet providers and cryptocurrency exchanges, rather than the blockchain infrastructure itself. These services rely primarily on continuous communication between users and servers to enable seamless transactions and service availability.
