According to CoinDesk, the UK government is set to initiate a pilot program for a digital gilt instrument utilizing distributed ledger technology (DLT). This announcement was made by the Treasury in a statement released on Thursday. The digital gilt instrument, akin to a bond, is part of a broader strategy to enhance financial services growth and competitiveness. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves is expected to reveal this initiative during her first Mansion House speech, alongside measures to regulate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings providers and pension mega funds. Gilts, which are government-issued bonds in the UK, will be at the center of this innovative approach. The Mansion House Speech serves as an annual platform for the finance minister to outline long-term visions. Since the Labour Party assumed power in July, there has been limited communication regarding its stance on cryptocurrency. However, the Treasury's recent statement indicates that the upcoming speech aims to reassure businesses of the government's commitment to innovation, especially in the wake of crypto-friendly policies following Donald Trump's election victory. The pilot project for the digital gilt instrument underscores the government's dedication to advancing the financial services sector through technological innovation. DLT, the technology supporting crypto assets, allows data to be maintained and updated across multiple nodes, ensuring transparency and security. Tulip Siddiq, the economic secretary at the Treasury, has indicated that the Labour Party will soon unveil its plans for the crypto sector. According to Bloomberg, Labour is expected to follow the previous Conservative government's path by introducing legislation for stablecoins and staking. This move is anticipated to align with the ongoing global trend of integrating digital assets into traditional financial systems, further solidifying the UK's position as a leader in financial innovation.

أدى هجوم تصيد على مستثمر في العملات المشفرة إلى سرقة 95.3 مليون رمز جيجا، بقيمة تزيد عن 6 ملايين دولار، من خلال رابط مزيف على تطبيق زووم. باع المخترق الرموز المسروقة بسرعة، وحولها إلى سولانا وعملات مستقرة، ونقل الأموال إلى محافظ غير معروفة، بينما يعمل المستثمر الآن مع سلطات إنفاذ القانون لاستعادة الأصول.
