MetaMask mUSD stablecoin.
Flashbots verifiable sequencing for OP Stack.
DOJ clarifies merely writing code is not a crime.
DBS Bank tokenizes notes on Ethereum.
MetaMask unveiled MetaMask USD (mUSD), its native USD-pegged stablecoin. mUSD will be issued by Bridge, a Stripe-owned company, and built on the universal stablecoin infrastructure platform M0, which provides shared liquidity and cross-stablecoin interoperability. mUSD will be integrated directly into the MetaMask wallet, with support for onramps, swaps, bridging, and DeFi. MetaMask also plans to make mUSD spendable via the MetaMask Card, which is accepted at millions of Mastercard merchants. The stablecoin is expected to launch later this year on Ethereum mainnet and Linea. MetaMask is the largest self-custodial browser wallet developed by ConsenSys. MetaMask marks the first self-custody wallet provider to launch a native stablecoin.

Flashbots announced that it will bring fast, configurable, and verifiable sequencing to Optimism’s OP Stack. Sequencers are critical infrastructure for rollups since they determine transaction ordering, which impacts speed, censorship, and MEV. The integration will allow OP Stack chains to choose how their transactions are sequenced. The implementation will feature 200ms block times via Flashblocks, outsourced block building with different policies via Rollup-Boost, and verifiable block building using Trusted Execution Environments. The integration will initially be deployed on OP Mainnet and gradually released to OP Stack chains in the coming months.
At the American Innovation Project Summit, Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew Galeotti clarified that merely writing code without criminal intent is not a crime. He emphasized that developers who contribute code or open-source projects without intending to facilitate unlawful activity cannot be held criminally responsible. The statements reinforce the Blanche Memo of April 2025, which moved to end “regulation by prosecution,” and provide long-sought clarity for open-source developers. Blockchain lawyer Jake Chervinsky noted, the DOJ’s assurances appear to contradict the recent conviction of developer Roman Storm under Section 1960(b)(1)(C), and called for the DOJ to drop the case.
DBS Bank, Singapore’s largest bank, launched tokenized structured notes on Ethereum mainnet, according to The Block. The initiative aims to make structured notes more accessible for institutional, accredited investors, and family offices in Singapore. Each token represents a $1,000 share of the underlying structured note.
