Court Forces Circle to Freeze $12.6M in Zama's cUSDC Contract
Circle blacklisted the Ethereum contract behind Zama's confidential USDC (cUSDC) on May 30, locking 12,606,386 USDC. The freeze stems from a class action suit filed May 28 by three OVN-holding funds against Overnight Finance founder Maxim Ermilov, alleging he moved more than $15.7M from treasury wallets.
Zama CEO said the protocol received no advance notice and that its contract was "caught in a crossfire" of an unrelated case.

The freeze stems from a class action suit filed May 28 by three OVN-holding funds against Overnight Finance founder Maxim Ermilov, alleging he moved more than $15.7M from treasury wallets.
Because cUSDC is a wrapper holding the USDC that backs every confidential token holder, blacklisting the contract froze the entire pool rather than single deposit.

LAB Accused of CEX Manipulation as Market Cap Hits $5.7B
LAB is back in the spotlight after an onchain investigation alleged continued CEX price support via coordinated market-making, with the token pushed to ~$5.7B market cap (~$14B FDV) and a top-22 ranking.
The thread also points to wallets allegedly linked to buybacks, loans, and CEX deposit addresses, plus large insider deposits to Bitget addresses in March–April 2026. It claims ~100M LAB was later withdrawn to multiple fresh addresses, with spot activity allegedly concentrated on Bitget while other venues (incl. Binance perps/Alpha and Gate) amplify the trend.

LAB is back in the spotlight after an onchain investigation alleged continued CEX price support via coordinated market-making, with the token pushed to ~$5.7B market cap (~$14B FDV) and a top-22 ranking.
Key red flags cited include opaque token distribution (different floats reported across major trackers), unilateral vesting changes, and repeated private OTC/loan deals at steep discounts that create hidden future supply. The ZachXBT estimates insiders may control >95% of supply, meaning price can be “managed” until unlocks/OTC cliffs hit.

Gnosis Investigates Active Exploit Affecting Gnosis Pay Users
Gnosis co-founder and CEO Martin Koppelmann confirmed an active exploit involving Gnosis Pay, tied to the Zodiac “delay module.” He said Gnosis is working to contain the incident and will cover all user losses.
Koppelmann also noted he deleted an earlier post that urged users to withdraw EURe and GNO, saying most users won’t be able to withdraw anyway while containment is underway. He reiterated that users will be made whole regardless of outcome.
Gnosis Pay is built on Safe’s smart contract wallet infrastructure, but the issue is described as being within the Gnosis Pay system, not Safe’s core contracts. The incident comes shortly after a separate third-party module exploit impacted dozens of Safe wallets.
