New York prosecutors have warned that the GENIUS Act, a new law regulating stablecoins, fails to protect fraud victims and allows issuers to profit from stolen funds.

A school resource officer in Lunenburg, Massachusetts, has helped recover over $100,000 stolen in a cryptocurrency scam, marking the state's first seizure of Tether funds by law enforcement.
