    ⚠️ Exploit breakdown: oracle manipulation on Nostra Finance On Sept 17, the @nostrafinance money market on #Starknet was hit with an oracle price-manipulation attack. About $3.5M was borrowed out against inflated collateral. The attacker pumped the NSTR oracle from ~$0.006 to $49.5 — roughly 8,000x — then used the overvalued NSTR as collateral to drain other assets. The money market is fully paused. Supply, borrow, and liquidations are all offline. 🔍 Attack flow ▪️ Months earlier (Mar / Aug): accumulated NSTR and pre-positioned collateral 0x06d48ef7 ▪️ Sept 17, 05:23: created a fake NSTR/SolvBTC pool with 1.5 SolvBTC one-sided liquidity and hijacked GeckoTerminal’s pool selection 0x3aa300d2 ▪️ 05:27–05:47: wash traded the pool and pulled liquidity from the market-making range 0x2d9fb4ed ▪️ 05:47–05:48: swapped through the thin pool and spiked the price to $49.5 0x2d9fb4ed ▪️ 05:48–05:50: borrowed out ETH / STRK / USDC / USDT / WBTC / DAI, ~$3.5M 0x06d48ef7 ▪️ 05:51–07:08: dumped via AVNU / Ekubo / JediSwap; 2.2M STRK left the chain through NEAR Intents 0x06d48ef7 ▪️ Around Sept 18: funds consolidated 0xa059aaab 💡 This is a classic low-liquidity oracle failure: 1️⃣ A illiquid token was accepted as collateral 2️⃣ The price feed relied on a third-party source — the attacker appears to have added surface liquidity so GeckoTerminal picked the rigged NSTR pool 3️⃣ Cost of attack: ~1.5 SolvBTC plus NSTR stacked months earlier at cheap prices 📌 Attacker wallets ▪️ Borrow account 0x06d48ef7ab62c26e3ef1987c322096cd508e9034c82048783a6b438fc1344bc3 6 borrows + ~80 sells.

    WalletConnect (@WalletConnect)

    The Business Case for Accepting Stablecoins: Lower Fees, Bigger Baskets The fee gap is larger than most merchants realise. Card payments typically run 2.5 to 3.5% in fees. Stablecoin payments through a rail like WalletConnect Pay run 0.5 to 1.0%, up to 80% less. On a business doing meaningful transaction volume, that difference compounds fast. It's not a rounding error; it's a structural change to the margin on every single transaction. Settlement speed tells a similar story. Cards settle over 2 to 3 days. Stablecoins settle near-instantly, 24/7, with no batch windows and no waiting for the next business day. For any merchant managing cash flow tightly, that's the difference between money sitting in a settlement queue and money already usable. Customers who pay in crypto spend more This is the part that tends to surprise people: crypto customers show 15 to 25% higher average order value compared to card customers. Crypto card spending itself grew 525% in 2025, which is enough scale that it reads as a genuine demand signal rather than a rounding anomaly. At the same time, fewer than 4% of merchants currently accept crypto payments, against 96% of crypto holders who say they want to pay that way. That gap between demand and acceptance is exactly where the highest average order value customers are currently going unserved. What merchants actually control None of this requires an all-or-nothing decision. Merchants accepting stablecoin payments through WalletConnect Pay choose what to accept: stablecoins only, stablecoins plus ETH, all supported assets, or specific chains like Ethereum and Base. They also choose how to settle, holding proceeds as stablecoin or converting to fiat automatically. That flexibility matters because it means adopting stablecoin payments doesn't require betting on volatility or holding a crypto balance sheet if that's not the goal. A merchant can accept USDC and have it land in their bank account as fiat the same day, with the customer never seeing anything more complicated than a payment confirmation. No new infrastructure required The practical objection merchants raise is integration cost, and it's a legitimate one. WalletConnect Pay is designed to sit alongside existing payment methods rather than replace them, appearing in checkout next to Apple Pay and PayPal, or as a QR code at point of sale, or as an NFC tap that mirrors a contactless card payment. The customer selects it, approves the payment in their wallet, and it settles in seconds. Underneath that simple flow, WalletConnect Pay handles gas fees, chain routing, and compliance (sanctions screening and Travel Rule checks run automatically before value moves), so none of that complexity reaches the merchant or the customer. What the merchant sees is a completed payment. What the customer sees is a confirmation. Everything in between is infrastructure, not the merchant's problem to solve. Weighing it up Lower fees on every transaction, faster settlement, and a customer segment that spends 15 to 25% more, against an integration that sits alongside existing checkout rather than replacing it. For merchants still on the fence about stablecoin acceptance, the economics are less speculative than they might expect, and less disruptive to implement than the words "crypto payments" might suggest.

    Visa launched its Stablecoin Platform on July 16, giving institutions the infrastructure to mint, redeem and move stablecoins, starting with Open USD. Stablecoins are moving into the same payment and treasury workflows institutions already use. As those flows move onchain, transaction data becomes part of the financial stack too. Institutions need a clear view of supply, liquidity, counterparties and cross-chain activity. That starts with structured, verifiable and AI-ready data. 🔗 https://usa.visa.com/about-visa/newsroom/press-releases.releaseId.22591.html

    .@Robinhoodapp's launch is about more than another Earn product. It demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can build native stablecoin savings products without rebuilding every layer from scratch. It also signals a broader market trend: institutions increasingly combine specialist infrastructure providers with allocation intelligence to power the next generation of stablecoin financial products. We took a closer look at Spark's role in the USDG ecosystem, and why we think this launch marks an important step in the evolution of stablecoin-powered financial products.
