Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies advanced Bill 5819/2025, a proposal that would let judges freeze cryptocurrency wallets and bank accounts linked to suspected electronic fraud. The measure would also lift the maximum sentence for digital-channel fraud from 8 to 10 years and expand precautionary restrictions such as blocking real estate and limiting access to payment systems. The bill must still clear additional committees, pass votes in both chambers of Congress, and be signed by the president.

On June 12, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn said Anthropic’s AI-based Mythos review did not surface additional serious vulnerabilities in the Zcash protocol. The update follows a disclosure of a four-year Orchard shielded-pool bug that could have enabled unlimited counterfeit ZEC, after which ZEC slid about 53% and later traded near $415 with a market cap above $6.94 billion. Zcash developers say the flaw has been patched and have also outlined the Ironwood proposal to further isolate any potentially counterfeit coins.

On June 12, Abracadabra's algorithmic stablecoin MIM fell as low as $0.87 across multiple chains, slipping about 11% over 24 hours. Blockaid said the Arbitrum depeg was driven by thin, imbalanced pool liquidity rather than an exploit, with executable routes showing $0.91–$0.92. Abracadabra's June 11 governance proposal for a Curve MIM-2Pool gauge could improve liquidity, but any impact would come only after the vote and subsequent emissions.

Former SEC and CFTC chair Gary Gensler filed an amicus brief in the Sixth Circuit arguing federal law does not give the CFTC authority to regulate sports-related prediction market contracts.

Bipartisan House lawmakers introduced a bill on Thursday to set up a federal task force to investigate crypto fraud and hacking, led by the U.S. attorney general. The proposal cites more than $11 billion in 2025 losses and aims to coordinate DOJ, FBI, DHS, and Treasury efforts while giving victims a clearer federal reporting route.

Polish President Karol Nawrocki vetoed a cryptocurrency regulation bill for the third time, arguing that lawmakers adopted only 1 of 16 amendments proposed by his office. The move leaves Poland without a national framework to apply the EU's MiCA rules ahead of the July 1 compliance deadline, raising uncertainty over how local firms will secure required licenses.
