EF Deploys 1k ETH Into Morpho V2

The Ethereum Foundation deployed another 3,400 ETH from its DeFi wallet onto the Morpho lending protocol.

The Ethereum Foundation deployed another 3,400 ETH to the Morpho DeFi protocol on Ethereum, including 1,000 ETH allocated to the recently introduced Morpho Vaults V2. Launched as open-source, Morpho Vaults V2 provides yield-generating vaults with instant liquidity and flexible allocation across any existing or future Morpho markets. The vaults’ core contracts are non-upgradeable, ensuring full immutability. The Foundation first introduced its DeFi wallet early last year, and it now manages more than $140 million in assets. Its onchain holdings include 31,230 ETH in Aave, 10,126 ETH in Spark Protocol, 4,200 ETH in Compound, and 7,100 ETH deployed across Morpho.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a proposal by Nasdaq to support the trading and settlement of tokenized stocks and securities on its exchange. As part of the initiative, Depository Trust Company (DTC), a subsidiary of Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which processes most U.S. securities clearing and settlement, will lead a pilot program focused on highly liquid assets, including stocks from the Russell 1000 Index and select ETFs. The tokenized shares will carry the same ticker symbols and pricing as their traditional counterparts, with the goal of improving efficiency in post-trade settlement.

Blockful, a white-hat DAO governance security team, identified and mitigated a governance vulnerability in Shutter DAO. They discovered that an attacker could potentially spend around $100K to exploit weak governance parameters and seize control of Shutter DAO’s $3 million treasury. The risks stemmed from low quorum requirements and no timelock delay. After validating the attack through simulation, Blockful introduced a Security Council Guard contract alongside a 2-day timelock and coordinated with Shutter DAO delegates to implement the fix through governance. As a result, the treasury is no longer easily exploitable.

Katana, a DeFi-focused, ZK-powered Layer 2 rollup built on Polygon’s Agglayer, launched KAT, its native chain token. Katana leverages sequencer fees and protocol-generated revenue to reward liquidity providers. The network incorporates chain-owned liquidity (CoL) and an integration with the Agglayer’s Vaultbridge and vbTokens. Katana users can now claim and stake their KAT tokens.
