Let's go through the Crypto news worth paying attention today according to sosovalue:
The first is:The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has terminated its investigation into Uniswap Labs. This move follows the agency's conclusion of similar investigations into other major participants in the cryptocurrency industry. Uniswap is the creator of the world's largest decentralized crypto exchange and received a Wells notice from the SEC last year, accusing it of operating as an unregistered exchange and broker-dealer. Under the leadership of new acting chair Mark T. Uyeda, the SEC is retracting several previous enforcement actions against the crypto industry. Uyeda has appointed Republican commissioner Hester Peirce to lead a "crypto task force" to collaborate with industry representatives on developing crypto-specific regulations. Amanda Tuminelli, the chief legal officer of the DeFi Education Fund, noted that the SEC's action is significant and provides more confidence to DeFi companies.

Next news:According to Slow Fog, there has been a recent phishing attack via SMS targeting Binance users; this phishing message even appeared in the conversation thread of official Binance SMS, coexisting with genuine official messages in the same context, sharing the same channel, and precisely forging the official SMS environment. The scammers spoofed the source of the official SMS by using technical means to disguise the SMS sending number, making it appear consistent with the official number, allowing the phishing message to blend into the official conversation thread. It is possible that the scammers attacked the SMS gateway or exploited security vulnerabilities of carriers/third-party SMS service providers to successfully embed the phishing message into the official channel; there may even be collusion with unscrupulous SMS suppliers to directly forge official SMS replies, making it difficult for users to distinguish between real and fake messages.

The Aave community voted to stop lending services on the Polygon PoS chain. This decision mainly stems from the negative reaction to Polygon's proposal from last December, which aimed to generate returns using over 1 billion USD in bridged stablecoins. Aave founder Marc Zeller proposed to impose stricter risk parameters on Aave v2 and v3 on Polygon PoS to prevent deposits and loans, addressing the high risks associated with Polygon's yield generation methods. The latest version of the Aave proposal has been approved by community vote, planning to change the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of stablecoin loans on Polygon PoS to 0%, further restricting lending.
