first_img Cap team responds to Stabledrop controversy, admits early commitment errors and clarifies insider rumors

In response to the recent market controversy regarding the reduction of Stabledrop shares, Cap founder Benjamin issued a statement of apology and provided a detailed response. He stated that the team prematurely committed to an airdrop scale of 11 million before the funding was fully secured, but subsequent changes in the market environment led to a fundraising amount that fell short of expectations, resulting in the actual airdrop pool shrinking to 4.2 million.To avoid substantial principal losses for early YT (Yield Token) holders, the team temporarily adjusted the originally planned linear distribution scheme to a "capital protection but no profit" restructuring model, ensuring that no one incurs losses. This rule applies equally to all wallets. Meanwhile, in response to community concerns about a related whale address allegedly engaging in "internal score manipulation," Benjamin clarified that the wallet belongs to a former colleague and is not operated by the team, and that project treasury funds have not been utilized. Additionally, he emphasized that the Cap protocol is still operating healthily, and the decline in TVL that occurred over the weekend was mainly due to the surge in USDM lending rates on Aave for MegaETH, causing arbitrageurs to exit, which is unrelated to this airdrop incident. All redemptions have been processed smoothly.

PiggyBank: LAB token basis trading error, token manipulated by the market, USDC treasury has retracted 15%

The revenue agreement PiggyBank issued a statement acknowledging a serious error in the LAB token basis trading that took place last month. PiggyBank disclosed that the team previously purchased locked LAB tokens at a low price through OTC channels for about $100,000 (accounting for approximately 2% of the portfolio) and simultaneously shorted perpetual contracts for hedging.However, during the holding period, LAB encountered severe market manipulation, liquidity depletion, and deeply negative funding rates, leading to excessively high hedging costs. The team ultimately chose to close the short position to limit downside risk. Based on current prices, the total value of the locked LAB position is $1.35 million. However, due to the lack of liquidity in this position, PiggyBank will exclude it from the net asset value calculation until the first unlock on August 14.Although the situation is still changing and there is still potential for considerable returns, this is the "fairest and most transparent" way for users to manage liquidity. Therefore, today's net asset value will show a decline of approximately 15% in the USDC treasury, about 12% in SPYx, and about 9% in JitoSOL. A detailed report will be released next week, including follow-up processing plans. On-chain investigator ZachXBT previously publicly questioned PiggyBank, accusing it of insider control over more than 95% of the supply.

The U.S. federal court dismissed the lawsuit against Binance and Changpeng Zhao related to terrorism

A federal judge in Manhattan, Jeannette Vargas, dismissed a civil lawsuit that sought to hold Binance and its founder CZ accountable, accusing their trading activities of aiding terrorist organizations in carrying out global attacks.The judge found that the 535 plaintiffs (including victims and their families) failed to reasonably explain that the defendants "intentionally conspired with the terrorist attacks, participated in their execution, or ensured the success of the attacks through their actions." The plaintiffs alleged that the attacks occurred between 2017 and 2024 and were carried out by external terrorist organizations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, ISIS, Kata'ib Hezbollah, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Al-Qaeda, attempting to attribute hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency and transactions with Iranian users to Binance and CZ.The judge noted that while Binance and CZ may have some awareness of the potential for terrorist financing through the exchange, their relationship with terrorist organizations was limited to "their or their affiliates' accounts on Binance and trading in a fair manner." The judge also criticized the plaintiffs' 891-page, 3,189-paragraph complaint as "entirely unnecessary," but allowed for amendments. A Binance spokesperson stated, "The court correctly dismissed these baseless allegations. Binance strictly adheres to compliance requirements and has a zero-tolerance policy for illegal activities on the platform." CZ also mentioned that the plaintiffs were attempting to leverage Binance's acknowledgment in November 2023 of violating anti-money laundering and sanctions laws and paying a $4.32 billion penalty to seek triple damages.
