According to CoinDesk, RedotPay responded to the lawsuit filed by Binance, stating that it will actively defend itself. The company stated in a statement that it is aware of the legal proceedings initiated by Binance and will mount a strong defense against all allegations, denying the related accusations against the company and its co-founders, claiming that these allegations are baseless.Previously, Bloomberg reported that a Binance-affiliated entity filed a lawsuit in Hong Kong against RedotPay's co-founder, accusing him of breaching the agreement by directing over 470,000 Binance users to the RedotPay platform, resulting in approximately $473 million in losses. Binance stated in the lawsuit that it discovered in March 2026 that RedotPay allowed and encouraged the use of Binance Pay funds for unauthorized purposes without isolation, including recharging the RedotPay card. Binance's Chaintecs also filed a lawsuit against RedotPay affiliates in Singapore, with a related hearing scheduled for this Friday.Public information shows that Binance and RedotPay first reached a commercial cooperation in November 2023, which was terminated less than six months later due to Binance's claim that its funds were used for recharging RedotPay prepaid cards.

According to Cryptopolitan, former U.S. federal prosecutor Danielle Sassoon firmly denied ever promising immunity to Michelle Bond, a partner of former FTX executive Ryan Salame, during a high-stakes evidence hearing at the Manhattan federal court. During the hearing, Sassoon testified about the guilty plea of Ryan Salame, the former co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, who was sentenced to over seven years in prison for his plea. Further scrutiny of this former FTX executive and his then-girlfriend Michelle Bond has led Sassoon to face campaign finance allegations. "I had no intention to set a trap or coerce anyone into pleading guilty," Sassoon stated regarding Bond being prosecuted after Salame's guilty plea.Bond is one of the last few associates involved in the criminal case against former FTX executives, and she is seeking to dismiss the charges, arguing that the prosecutors "induced Salame's guilty plea." Bond has pleaded not guilty to charges of conspiracy to make illegal campaign contributions, facilitating and accepting excessive campaign contributions, facilitating and receiving illegal corporate contributions, and facilitating and receiving conduit contributions.

Canton Network recently issued a statement to clarify the market's misunderstanding regarding its native token, Canton Coin (CC), which has a "supply cap" of 100 billion, and to explain its dynamic supply model.The official statement indicated that CC adopts a supply mechanism similar to Ethereum and Solana, with an infinite cap but a stable actual supply. CC does not have a fixed cap, but each transaction burns CC, offsetting new issuance. The higher the network usage, the more is burned, resulting in lower net issuance, ultimately forming a mint-burn equilibrium (BME).The official emphasized that the value of CC should be measured by market capitalization rather than theoretical supply cap.Supply outlook and key milestones:After entering BME, the total supply will fluctuate stably around network demand. According to the current model, if balance is achieved by 2026, the total supply may be below 50 billion by 2034.On January 1, 2026, a "double halving" will occur: the total block issuance will be halved, and the Super Validator (SV) share will decrease from 48% to 20%.Three years later, another "double halving" will occur, further reducing the SV issuance share to 10%, making it the only major source of inflation that gradually shrinks.Canton Network stated that it has burned over 1 billion CC to date, with a daily burn value of approximately 900,000 USD. As issuance decreases, it is expected that by the early 2030s, the inflation rate of CC will become one of the lowest among mainstream Layer-1s.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, claims that the Baby Shark token, which represents the most viewed video on YouTube, plummeted 90% after the company that minted this Meme coin realized it had no issuance rights from the issuing platform. The token's price on Story Protocol fell from a high of 35 cents on Tuesday to less than 0.064 cents.Previously, the brand owner Pinkfong Co., based in Seoul, released an official statement on the X platform on Friday, stating that the token "is in no way associated with the company." "Baby Shark" is a two-minute animated music short aimed at young children, which has garnered over 16 billion views since its release in 2016. The token was issued through IP.World, which at one point had a market cap of up to $200 million. IP.World stated that the rights provided by its licensing partner Pinkfong were flawed, and its verification process hindered the distribution of creator fees.Pinkfong Co. stated in the announcement that only the Meme coin Baby Shark on Solana and the Baby Shark Universe token on BNB Chain are officially recognized assets. However, this statement failed to calm traders' emotions, as they previously mistakenly believed that the token was an official collaboration project of Pinkfong Co., and this misunderstanding was further exacerbated by influencer endorsements and the promotional efforts of Story Protocol itself.

ChainCatcher message, Curve ecosystem contributor haowi.eth posted on the X platform stating: "Recently, Onekey and its founder Wang Lei (also known as yishi) issued a joint statement accusing me of making false statements regarding the so-called Resupply vulnerability incident.

I deny the joint statement publicly issued by Onekey and Wang Lei, as well as the subsequent remarks. Making unfounded or unsubstantiated statements is meaningless. I have not been legally sanctioned in any country. Any statements should be based on irrefutable facts. I reserve all rights and will take action based on my judgment. As a member and investor of the Curve community, I express my views and facts to defend my own and other investors' legitimate rights and interests.

ChainCatcher news reports that a suspected member of the WLFI Wallet team, Dylan_0x (@0xDylan_), has denied the association with the proposal stating "Aave will receive 7% of the total WLFI tokens."Crypto KOL @Luyaoyuan1 expressed his views on this event, stating, "Previously, I also firmly believed that Aave had this 7% and 20% protocol revenue to go long on AAVE, but in the weeks leading up to the WLFI announcement, I saw the weakness of AAVE/ETH and also noticed Aave's lagging growth.Rumors suggest that if WLFI does not fork, they do not plan to give AAVE the 7% tokens. It should not be surprising as there is a precedent; SPK defaulted on 10% returns and ultimately only gave 1%, and it ended up unresolved. WLFI said nice things during the public offering about full unlocking, but now it has changed to partial unlocking. AAVE is now a project that has been deceived multiple times. If there is a default, support AAVE in suing WLFI."ChainCatcher Note: Currently, there is no public channel to verify the specific identity information of Dylan_0x (@0xDylan_), and investors should exercise caution and pay attention to asset protection.
