The mBridge platform has sparked controversy in the United States amid concerns that participants could use it to bypass traditional payment systems dominated by the U.S. dollar, such as SWIFT.

ME News reported that Kelp DAO abandoned LayerZero and switched to Chainlink’s CCIP cross-chain infrastructure after suffering an approximately $292 million bridge attack last month. CCIP requires 16 independent nodes to validate cross-chain transactions, making Kelp DAO the first major protocol to leave LayerZero. The OFT bridge used a 1-of-1 verifier configuration, and 47% of LayerZero applications were also using the same configuration at the time. LayerZero subsequently discontinued this configuration. Kelp DAO said the migration directly resolves the architectural vulnerability, and rsETH will also adopt the cross-chain token standard. As part of the DeFi United rescue effort, LayerZero donated and lent approximately 10,000 ETH to Aave.

Traders are also increasing positions to hedge against the risk of a rate increase before the end of the year. Divisions over the market’s interest-rate outlook are intensifying. Lawrence Gillum, chief fixed-income strategist at LPL Financial, said a rate cut this year remains possible, but a prolonged conflict with Iran would reduce that probability.
