According to CoinDesk, Angus Fletcher, head of digital assets at State Street Bank, stated at the Consensus Miami conference that in light of the recent surge in DeFi attack incidents, institutional investors are looking for improvements in blockchain security. He pointed out that the young crypto industry needs to find solutions now before trillions of dollars in real-world assets are put on-chain.Fletcher believes that the interoperability between blockchains needs to be clearly defined and understood, and institutional clients need to understand the legal ownership and rights of cross-chain tokens.

SWEEP is aimed at qualified investors and is positioned similarly to BlackRock's BUIDL and other products, providing bond-like yields through an on-chain structure, representing the latest exploration of the integration of traditional asset management and blockchain.

According to CoinDesk, Galaxy Digital and State Street have jointly launched the tokenized fund "State Street Galaxy Onchain Liquidity Sweep Fund (SWEEP)," which migrates cash management and yield products to the blockchain network, achieving 24/7 on-chain liquidity management.This product allows institutional investors to allocate stablecoins into the fund, maintaining redemption capabilities while earning yields, breaking through the trading hour restrictions of traditional money market funds. The fund is initially built on Solana and plans to expand to Ethereum and Stellar. Galaxy is responsible for the tokenization infrastructure, Anchorage Digital provides custody services, and State Street manages the underlying traditional securities assets.This launch continues the trend of institutional exploration of on-chain cash management. Previously, BlackRock's BUIDL fund validated institutional demand for tokenized U.S. Treasury products, driving continuous capital inflow into on-chain fixed income assets. Currently, State Street manages over $5 trillion in assets, and this move is seen as an important step towards fully tokenizing traditional financial products, while also marking the gradual extension of on-chain financial infrastructure into the institutional cash management sector.

According to Cointelegraph, the U.S. law firm Gerstein Harrow LLP has applied to the court for an injunction to prevent Arbitrum DAO from transferring frozen Ethereum assets related to the Kelp attack.The law firm claims that its clients have obtained default judgments in three cases against North Korea, totaling approximately $877 million (including punitive damages and interest), and assert a right to claim the related assets.Previously, Kelp DAO was attacked on April 18, resulting in losses of about $292 million, which is believed to be related to the North Korean hacker group Lazarus Group. Subsequently, the Arbitrum security committee urgently froze approximately 30,766 Ether (about $73 million).The incident has sparked controversy. Some community members believe that if the injunction takes effect, it will delay the return of funds to the victimized users and shift the North Korean-related debts onto secondary victims. Previously, Aave Labs had proposed to unfreeze the funds and inject them into a compensation fund to restore the damaged assets.It is worth noting that Gerstein Harrow has previously filed claims regarding assets stolen by North Korean-related hackers and frozen by cryptocurrency platforms, including the 2023 Heco Bridge incident. Industry analysts believe that this case may have a demonstrative impact on the disposal of DAO assets and the definition of cross-jurisdictional claims.

According to CoinDesk, Figure Technology Solutions CEO Mike Cagney stated that the company is trying to leverage blockchain to reconstruct the traditional credit market infrastructure and deeply integrate real-world assets (RWA), securitization, and DeFi.Data shows that Figure's loan issuance in March this year exceeded $1 billion for the first time in a single month, with a total lending volume of $2.9 billion in the first quarter, which annualizes to about $12 billion. Cagney stated that the company's goal is to reduce intermediaries in the securitization, lending, and stock lending markets through on-chain processes, lowering costs and enhancing liquidity.Currently, Figure has launched the yield-bearing stablecoin YLDS and has launched on-chain credit vault products on networks like Solana, allowing users to invest in tokenized credit assets or use them as collateral for borrowing. The company also plans to expand into the Ethereum ecosystem and explore stock tokenization and on-chain securities lending.Cagney believes that the true value of blockchain lies not in "putting everything on-chain," but in reconstructing the financial abstraction layer. "Financial assets such as loans, securities, and equity are naturally suited for on-chain processes, and the entire financial infrastructure may be rewritten as a result."
