Tether Discloses Limited EQIBank Exposure After $84M US Seizure
Tether said assets held at EQIBank represented 0.034% of the group’s total assets after US prosecutors froze roughly $84 million in accounts belonging to payments company Capstone. A Justice Department civil forfeiture complaint alleges Capstone operated without a license and transferred funds at EQIBank’s direction, including payments involving Tether and Bitfinex. Tether said it had no knowledge of the alleged conduct.

Bitget raised its estimate of assets transferred to attacker-controlled wallets from $351.6 million to roughly $387.5 million after adding previously uncounted activity on Zcash and TRON.

Withdrawals remain paused during security checks, while Mandiant and SlowMist assist the investigation and a bounty program supports asset freezing and recovery.

IRS Crypto Reporting Leaves Cost-Basis Gaps for U.S. Taxpayers
New U.S. broker reporting rules are giving the IRS greater visibility into digital-asset sales while leaving many taxpayers to reconstruct cost basis themselves. For 2025 transactions, Form 1099-DA generally reports gross proceeds rather than purchase costs, creating reconciliation problems across exchanges and self-custody wallets. Tax professionals also report late, incomplete and inconsistent forms. Broader cost-basis reporting starts in 2026, though transferred assets may still require detailed personal records.

SlowMist Finds No Confirmed Crypto Theft in Safari Exploit Probe
Blockchain security firm SlowMist says it has not verified any cryptocurrency theft tied to the Safari attack sample it examined. Its strongest evidence covers iOS 18.4 through 18.6.2, while broader claims extending to iOS 26.5 remain unproven. The sample could target Keychain and wallet-related app data using previously patched flaws, but capability alone does not establish that funds or credentials were successfully stolen from a victim.
