New Bitcoin Reserve Bill Introduced in US Congress
The US House of Representatives has introduced the American Reserve Modernization Act of 2026 (ARMA). The document proposes to formally establish a strategic bitcoin reserve under the management of the Treasury Department. The primary authors are Republican Nick Begich and Democrat Jared Golden. ARMA provides for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve within the US Treasury and separate repositories for other crypto assets. Federal agencies will be required to provide full accounting and transfer coins for centralized storage by the department. The bill includes: quarterly public reports on reserves; independent audits; oversight by Congress. The bitcoins in the reserve are proposed to be held for no less than 20 years. Sales are permitted only to reduce national debt. The bill also enshrines the right of US citizens to own digital assets, store them independently, and transfer them without restrictions. ARMA is based on President Donald Trump's executive order of March 6, 2025, which called for the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve. At that time, authorities ordered the transfer of the first cryptocurrency, confiscated in criminal and civil cases, into the reserve. The Treasury and the Department of Commerce were also tasked with exploring budget-neutral ways to purchase additional coins without taxpayer expense. Notably, the new bill lacks a target reserve value of 1 million BTC. Such a provision was included in the earlier BITCOIN Act authored by Senator Cynthia Lummis. In May, Trump signed an order to integrate digital assets into the traditional financial system and review the rules for crypto companies' access to payment infrastructure.
StablR’s EURR and USDR Stablecoins Lose Peg After $2.8 Million Hack
The European issuer of stablecoins, StablR, has fallen victim to a hack resulting in the theft of at least $2.8 million. This was highlighted by Blockaid. 🚨Community Alert Blockaid's exploit detection system has identified an ongoing exploit on @StablREuro. ~$2.8M extracted so far.Both tokens are depegged: 0x50753cfaf86c094925bf976f218d043f8791e408 (StablR Euro) and 0x7b43e3875440b44613dc3bc08e7763e6da63c8f8 (StablR USD) on…— Blockaid (@blockaid_) May 24, 2026 The attack on the smart contracts of the two coins — EURR and USDR — was also reported by the well-known on-chain investigator ZachXBT. According to his information, the perpetrator funded the operation through the cross-chain bridge CCTP on the Noble platform from the Cosmos ecosystem. Preliminary findings from Blockaid experts suggest the hacker compromised the private key of one of the multi-signature owners for minting coins. Due to a weak threshold (1 out of 3), the attacker needed only one account to gain full control over the system. Consequently, he: added himself as an owner and replaced two other legitimate participants; issued 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR. The coins, with a nominal value of about $10.4 million, were exchanged on decentralized exchanges for 1115 ETH (~$2.8 million) due to low liquidity. “This is not a bug in the smart contract — it is a failure in key management and governance,” concluded Blockaid specialists. They, along with ZachXBT, noted that the StablR team did not respond to the attack for at least several hours. As a result of the incident, the company's stablecoins lost their peg to the underlying assets. At the time of writing, EURR is trading at $0.93 (-20% from nominal), while USDR is at $0.97 (-3%). The euro-based coin's market capitalization is $10.9 million, and the dollar asset's supply is approaching $20.7 million. In May, there have been at least a dozen attacks on crypto projects. Among the affected are TrustedVolumes, THORChain, Verus, Echo Protocol, and Polymarket. Back in April, the industry set a record for the number of hacks — over 20 incidents in a month.
