MAS LAUNCHES BLOOM INITIATIVE TO EXTEND SETTLEMENT CAPABILITIES

Singapore's Monetary Authority has launched BLOOM (Borderless, Liquid, Open, Online, Multi-currency) to enable settlement in tokenized bank liabilities and regulated stablecoins while managing risks through standardized approaches, building on Project Orchid's foundation of 10+ successful trials since 2021 that explored digital Singapore dollar infrastructure and use cases. The initiative focuses on three areas: distribution and clearing of settlement assets to coordinate networks and enable seamless transfer of different settlement asset forms, programmable compliance controls using standardized mechanisms for more consistent and cost-effective cross-border wholesale arrangements, and agentic payments exploring AI agents executing transactions automatically within predefined limits to optimize timing and reduce manual payment management. Initial members include Circle, DBS, OCBC, Stripe, UOB, Ant International, StraitsX, Coinbase, and Partior.

SIRE LAUNCHES AVAULT

Sire is rolling out aVault, an automated USDC trading vault powered by its AI agents, offering passive exposure to sports and market strategies. Users deposit USDC to receive αVault units whose value tracks performance, with early internal tests showing +137% ROI on $10K over ~2 months. Fees include a 2% management charge, a 20% performance fee (dropping to 10% for large $SIRE stakers), and a 2% withdrawal fee (100% of which goes to stakers). The launch began on October 16 with three phases, prioritizing $SIRE holders (25K+ first, 1K+ next, then open to all). The system's high-water mark ensures users pay fees only on new profits, while stakers share in vault success and future buybacks.

WIDE SANDWICH ATTACKS EXPLAINED

Wide sandwich attacks spanning multiple slots now account for 93% of all sandwiches on Solana, with bots extracting 529,000 SOL over a full year by frontrunning and backrunning victim transactions across different slots that evade standard detectors. January marked peak extraction at 87,000 SOL in one month, though monthly extraction remains steady at 30-60k SOL, with top bots waiting for high-value victims and averaging 0.46 SOL per sandwich by sending dual bundles containing frontrun and first break-even backrun, followed by second backrun to capture remaining profit. Axiom users suffered 70%+ of extracted SOL, followed by Bloom at 10-15% and Photon at 5-10%, while 23 validators had at least 6% of leader slots containing wide sandwiches, suggesting private order flow sharing with main stake from Marinade and Jito, including six receiving Solana Foundation stake. Low-cap token buyers face the highest risk due to low liquidity creating high price impact and default slippage settings.

$300 TRILLION OF PYUSD ACCIDENTALLY MINTED AND BURNED

Paxos mistakenly minted $300 trillion worth of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin on Wednesday in a "technical error" during an internal transfer before immediately identifying and burning the excess tokens within 20 minutes, with the company confirming no security breach and customer funds remaining safe. PYUSD's dollar peg is guaranteed by PayPal and third-party attestation reports rather than intrinsically tied to minting mechanisms, as there aren't enough dollars in global circulation to back $300 trillion, which would require more than double the world's estimated total GDP.
