In a huge regulatory development, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) announced on April 4 that "covered" stablecoins — those fully backed by U.S. dollars and easily convertible to fiat — are not considered securities under U.S. law. That means top-dollar-backed tokens like USDT ( Tether ) and USDC ( Circle ) are finally getting some legal breathing room. The SEC defines covered stablecoins as digital tokens that are: In short: they function like digital dollars. And the SEC now says if you're minting or redeeming these types of stablecoins, you don’t need to register with them — because these tokens aren’t securities in their eyes. There’s a catch. While dollar-backed stablecoins got the green light, the SEC pointedly did not extend this clarity to algorithmic stablecoins — those backed by code and economic mechanisms rather than dollars. Think: the now-infamous TerraUSD (UST) that collapsed in 2022 and wiped nearly $45 billion from the market. That silence speaks volumes. It looks like algorithmic stablecoins are still in regulatory limbo, and may face stricter scrutiny moving forward. This isn’t just a one-off announcement. It aligns perfectly with several bills currently circulating in the U.S. Senate, including the GENIUS Stablecoin Bill and the Stable Act of 2025. Both aim to create a clear legal framework around stablecoins and preserve the U.S. dollar’s role as the global reserve currency. Under these bills, big-name stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle would fall under Federal Reserve oversight, ensuring their dollar reserves are held in regulated banks and short-term Treasuries. With USDT now sitting as the world’s third-largest crypto and dominating the stablecoin market with over $144 billion in market cap, the timing of this SEC clarification is anything but random. The SEC’s new stance on dollar-backed stablecoins is a major win for the U.S. crypto sector. It signals a shift toward clearer regulations, something the industry has been begging for. With legal clarity comes more innovation, institutional involvement, and consumer trust. And with the U.S. potentially creating a stablecoin-friendly framework, the country could finally catch up in the global digital asset race.

Oak Security’s Jan Philipp Fritsche says Web3 needs to stop ignoring basic OPSEC hygiene, especially as state-sponsored threats rise. As North Korea’s “ClickFake” campaign draws renewed attention to cyberattacks on crypto firms, security experts say Web3’s biggest vulnerability isn’t smart contracts — it’s people. Jan Philipp Fritsche, Managing Director at Oak Security, argued in a note to crypto.news that most blockchain projects lack even the most basic operational security standards . Fritsche, a former European Central Bank analyst who now advises and audits protocols says the real risk lies in how teams manage devices, permissions, and production access. “The ClickFake campaign shows just how easily teams can be compromised,” Fritsche said in a note. “Web3 projects have to assume that most of your employees are exposed to cyber threats outside their work environment.” For background, North Korea’s Lazarus Group is using a cyber campaign called “ClickFake Interview” targeting cryptocurrency professionals. The group posed as recruiters on LinkedIn and X, luring victims into fake interviews to distribute malware. The malware, named “ClickFix,” gave attackers remote access to steal sensitive data like crypto wallet credentials. Researchers said Lazarus used realistic documents and full interview conversations to enhance credibility. Most DAOs and early-stage teams still rely on personal devices — often used for both development and Discord chatting — which leaves them exposed to nation-state level attackers. Unlike traditional enterprises, many DAOs have no way to enforce security standards. “There’s no way to enforce security hygiene,” Fritsche said. “Too many teams, especially smaller ones, ignore this and hope for the best.” Fritsche says even the assumption that a device is clean may be flawed. For high-value projects, that means developers should never have the ability to push changes to production unilaterally. “Company-issued devices with limited privileges are a good start,” Fritsche said. “But you also need fail-safes—no single user should have that kind of control.” The lesson from traditional finance? Every risk is assumed to be real until proven otherwise. “In TradFi, you need a keycard just to check your inbox,” Fritsche said. “That standard exists for a reason. Web3 needs to catch up.”
