Stablecoin protocol Raft: A recovery plan is being formulated to compensate users for their losses, and speculative trading in R is not recommended.

On November 11th, Raft, a stablecoin protocol, announced on social media that they are developing a comprehensive recovery plan and will release detailed information within the next week to compensate affected users. Currently, the Raft contract has been suspended, but all stablecoin R issuers can fully repay to retrieve their collateral. Meanwhile, Raft officials recommend against speculative trading of R due to the existence of unsupported R in circulation. In future plans, Raft's current version will be phased out and Raft DAO will focus on launching a new and secure version. Earlier, Raft stablecoin protocol was attacked this morning, resulting in damages of approximately $3.3 million. Attackers minted stablecoin R and sold it to exhaust the liquidity of automated market makers while extracting collateral from Raft. This caused a sharp drop in the stablecoin R price, which began to deviate from its anchor at 2:50 Beijing time and fell by a maximum of 86.59% on the same day.

The public has 30 days to provide feedback to the IRS on this version.Starting in 2026, cryptocurrency investors who use brokers (currently mainly Coinbase and Kraken, among others) will receive 1099-DA from these brokers to report certain cryptocurrency sales and trades as taxable events to the IRS. IRS officials say this form will "bring more convenience and clarity" to users paying US crypto taxes.The newly released update to form 1099-DA is more streamlined than the IRS's initial tax filing draft released in April. The item for investors to fill in wallet addresses and transaction IDs has been removed (which sparked privacy concerns when the form was first released), and it is no longer required to fill in the time of the relevant transaction, only the date.Drew Hinkes, a partner at Miami law firm K&L Gates and a cryptocurrency lawyer, said the updated form "has greatly improved, reduced the burden of reporting, and significantly reduced the required data reporting."
