On May 24, stablecoin issuer StablR suffered a sustained attack that caused its euro-pegged EURR and dollar-pegged USDR to lose their pegs. Blockchain security firm Blockaid reports the attacker allegedly seized control by compromising one private key for the minting multisig account, replacing other admins via the protocol’s 1-of-3 signature setup, then minted an extra 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR. The attacker subsequently swapped roughly $10.4 million worth of the ill-gotten tokens on a decentralized exchange (DEX) for approximately 1,115 ETH, pocketing an estimated $2.8 million in profit. In the wake of the breach, EURR slumped to around $0.88, while USDR fell to roughly $0.70. Blockaid clarified the incident wasn’t due to a smart contract vulnerability – instead, it resulted from failures in key management and governance processes.

May 24 (Xinhua) — Mehdi Taj, president of Iran’s Football Federation, announced on Wednesday (May 23) that FIFA has approved relocating Iran’s FIFA World Cup base camp from Tucson, Arizona in the United States to Tijuana, Mexico. In a statement released by Iran’s Football Federation, Taj noted the move was prompted by difficulties the national team faced obtaining visas for its original U.S. base.

Key takeaways from the memo: SpaceX’s listed long-term debt is $29.1 billion, but Prince says the actual figure is around $42 billion — including a $20 billion SpaceX Bridging Loan due in September 2027, which was used to fund the xAI acquisition. The company also has three major outstanding commitments, including a $19.6 billion EchoStar Spectrum Commitment and the Cursor (Anysphere) Option Agreement, among others.
