Robinhood Chain kept producing blocks through the outage reported on Friday. What stopped was its transaction data reaching Ethereum, for 14 minutes across two gaps. Posting those batches is what puts Robinhood Chain’s data where anyone can reconstruct the chain and check it, and what allows funds to leave for Ethereum. Robinhood Chain posts more of that data than any other network, so a delay in its batches is the largest single interruption the blob market can produce. Arbitrum said Ethereum’s blob market caused the delay. That fits the second gap, which began after the blob price rose past the…

Circle has issued its latest monthly reserve attestation for USDC, with Deloitte’s review showing reserve assets above total circulating token supply. The attestation states that USDC reserves stood at $34.5 billion and were backed primarily by short-term U.S. Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements. That kind of reserve disclosure matters because stablecoins depend on confidence. Users need to believe that tokens can be redeemed and that reserves are managed conservatively. USDC has long tried to compete on transparency and regulatory alignment. Monthly attestations are part of that strategy. For more details, visit the official Circle platform.

A Michigan judge has placed prediction-market exchange Kalshi under a preliminary injunction that keeps its sports event contracts fenced off from people in the state until the court issues a final order. The ruling moves the dispute beyond a short-term restraint and into an open-ended compliance regime.Kalshi calls the products federally regulated event contracts, while Michigan treats the covered sports products as internet sports betting subject to state licensing. That classification fight explains why the order is more than routine sportsbook enforcement and why its reach is contested.
