Truebit suffered an attack that resulted in the loss of over 8,500 ETH, after which its TRU token plummeted by 99.9%.
PANews reported on January 9th that, according to The Block , Truebit, an Ethereum-based verification protocol, suffered a smart contract vulnerability attack, resulting in the theft of approximately 8,535 ETH (about $26.6 million) . The vulnerability stemmed from a minting pricing error in an old contract deployed five years ago, allowing attackers to profit by purchasing a large number of TRU tokens at an extremely low price. The incident caused the price of TRU to plummet by 99.9%, from $0.16 to $0.000077. Truebit has contacted law enforcement and is taking appropriate action.

MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia
The post MoneyGram launches stablecoin-powered app in Colombia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MoneyGram has launched a new mobile application in Colombia that uses USD-pegged stablecoins to modernize cross-border remittances. According to an announcement on Wednesday, the app allows customers to receive money instantly into a US dollar balance backed by Circle’s USDC stablecoin, which can be stored, spent, or cashed out through MoneyGram’s global retail network. The rollout is designed to address the volatility of local currencies, particularly the Colombian peso. Built on the Stellar blockchain and supported by wallet infrastructure provider Crossmint, the app marks MoneyGram’s most significant move yet to integrate stablecoins into consumer-facing services. Colombia was selected as the first market due to its heavy reliance on inbound remittances—families in the country receive more than 22 times the amount they send abroad, according to Statista. The announcement said future expansions will target other remittance-heavy markets. MoneyGram, which has nearly 500,000 retail locations globally, has experimented with blockchain rails since partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation in 2021. It has since built cash on and off ramps for stablecoins, developed APIs for crypto integration, and incorporated stablecoins into its internal settlement processes. “This launch is the first step toward a world where every person, everywhere, has access to dollar stablecoins,” CEO Anthony Soohoo stated. The company emphasized compliance, citing decades of regulatory experience, though stablecoin oversight remains fluid. The US Congress passed the GENIUS Act earlier this year, establishing a framework for stablecoin regulation, which MoneyGram has pointed to as providing clearer guardrails.
