Stripe recruited Privy founder Henri Stern to head its crypto and stablecoin infrastructure, linking Bridge, Privy, Tempo, and Open USD into a unified developer platform. Polymarket unveiled Protocol V2, replacing its legacy 2019 Gnosis architecture with a single ERC-1155 positions contract and a pluggable oracle aggregator. Meanwhile, North Korea breached the $1 billion stolen crypto threshold for 2026 after Chainalysis used automated tracing to unpack the $387 million Bitget exploit.</description></item><item><title>FinCEN scraps mixer reporting, Polymarket rewrites on ERC-1155, and Zcash hits 25s blocks</title><link>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-07-crypto/</link><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2026 12:24:24 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://brief-tech-news.com/blogs/2026-10-07-crypto/</guid><description>The US Treasury has abandoned two major surveillance proposals, scrapping its Section 311 crypto mixer rule and its $3,000 self-hosted wallet identity mandate. Meanwhile, Polymarket shipped Protocol V2 to replace its legacy Gnosis CTF architecture with a consolidated ERC-1155 design, while Zcash activated 25-second block times on public testnet. On the security front, Chainalysis deployed automated forensic models to map North Korea&amp;rsquo;s $387 million Bitget theft across four networks in under 10 minutes, and Near Intents recovered $3.8 million after an on-chain ultimatum.</description></item></channel></rss>
