Uzbekistan has launched a pilot project to test government securities-backed som-pegged stablecoin payments. The National Project Agency (NAPP) announced on Monday that it has registered Humo Digital as a special mechanism participant under joint regulation with the central bank. This pilot will test the issuance, circulation, and redemption of HUMO tokens, with each token pegged to 1 Uzbek som. According to NAPP, over 20 merchants are already prepared to accept HUMO payments, and the project will also integrate payment processing and blockchain infrastructure from participating banks, with licensed cryptocurrency exchange Asterium as a project partner. The Central Bank of Uzbekistan stated that the initial trial will last for 12 months, with a total project duration capped at 3 years. Regulators will assess the adequacy and security of the token collateral, cybersecurity, consumer protection, anti-money laundering controls, and financial and price stability risks. This pilot follows the framework approved in November 2025, when Uzbekistan indicated plans to allow stablecoin payment experiments under a sandbox mechanism while providing relevant terms for tokenized stocks and bonds.

Hardware wallet manufacturers Ledger and Trezor are calling on security researchers to adopt a more responsible approach to vulnerability disclosure. Ledger's Chief Technology Officer Charles Guillemet stated on the X platform that artificial intelligence has made vulnerabilities easier to discover and exploit, but some researchers disclose details before a fix is released, which he termed "exploiting others' risks for attention."Guillemet urged researchers to report vulnerabilities privately first and to agree on a timeline for fixes before disclosing details publicly, suggesting 90 days as a common default period, while also indicating that this could be adjusted flexibly based on the severity of the vulnerability and the amount of work required for the fix. Trezor's Security Chief Jan Komárek told Cointelegraph that 90 days is a commitment to vendors, not just an obligation for researchers. He suggested that researchers first contact vendors to agree on a timeline, and if the vendor fails to complete the fix within that period, they may choose to disclose publicly.The context of this statement is the recent close attention to hardware wallet security: the Coldcard theft incident involved over $100 million, and a data breach at Trezor's logistics provider also affected the personal information of tens of thousands of customers.

Spain's largest cryptocurrency exchange Bit2Me announced the establishment of an independent company Bit2Shield (registered name CryptoShield S.L) to assist courts, police, and financial institutions in tracking, seizing, storing, and selling cryptocurrency assets. This department will support investigators in extracting wallet data, locating cryptocurrency assets, and issuing digital signature forensic reports that can be used in court, while also being responsible for fraud investigations, source of funds verification, and providing training for police, judges, and banks.This move formalizes the work Bit2Me previously conducted for public institutions. In 2025, Bit2Me handled seized cryptocurrency assets worth 1.5 million euros (approximately 1.74 million dollars) for Interpol, Europol, and the Spanish police, using blockchain analysis company Chainalysis to track the assets. Bit2Shield will store seized assets in cold wallets that require multiple signatures and arrange for their sale when ordered by authorities, with proceeds transferred to government bank accounts in euros.Bit2Shield is part of Bit2Me's expansion from retail trading to banking and public institution infrastructure, with investors including Bankinter, Unicaja, Cecabank, Telefónica, and Tether.
