Public Service Enterprise Group / PSEG (PEG) Latest News

2026-04-27 02:41Litecoin Executes Deep Chain Reorganization to Undo MWEB Privacy Layer ExploitGate News message, April 27 — Litecoin underwent a deep chain reorganization on Saturday (April 26) after attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in its MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) privacy layer, the Litecoin Foundation announced. The reorg spanned blocks 3,095,930 to 3,095,943 and took over three hours to complete. The vulnerability allowed mining nodes running outdated software to validate unauthorized MWEB transactions, enabling attackers to extract coins from the privacy extension and route them to cross-chain swapping protocols via peg-out transactions. Mining pools were simultaneously targeted with denial-of-service attacks exploiting the same flaw. During the reorganization window, attackers executed double-spend attacks against multiple protocols, including NEAR Intents, which suffered approximately $600,000 in losses. The Litecoin Foundation confirmed that all offending transactions were erased from the network's history, with valid transactions during that period unaffected. The vulnerability has been fully patched. LTC traded near $56.00 at the time of disclosure, down roughly 1% on the day and 25% year-to-date, with no immediate sharp market reaction reported. Saturday's incident marks the first known attack targeting MWEB since Litecoin activated the privacy extension via soft fork in May 2022. MWEB enables users to move LTC from the transparent base chain into a confidential side-chain through peg-in and peg-out transactions. The Foundation did not disclose the total amount of unauthorized LTC created or name the affected mining pools. The attack underscores ongoing security challenges across the crypto industry, with DeFi protocols suffering over $750 million in losses through mid-April 2026, including the $292 million Kelp DAO bridge exploit and the $285 million Drift attack.2026-04-26 20:13Litecoin Suffers Deep Chain Reorganization After MWEB Privacy Layer Zero-Day ExploitGate News message, April 26 — Litecoin underwent a deep chain reorganization on Saturday afternoon after attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in its MimbleWimble Extension Block (MWEB) privacy layer, according to the Litecoin Foundation. The bug allowed mining nodes running older software to validate unauthorized MWEB transactions, enabling attackers to peg coins out of the privacy extension and route them to third-party decentralized exchanges. The chain reorg ran from block 3,095,930 to 3,095,943 and took more than three hours to complete. During this period, attackers performed double-spend attacks against multiple cross-chain swapping protocols that had accepted the now-orphaned MWEB peg-outs. Aurora Labs CEO Alex Shevchenko characterized it as a "coordinated attack" and noted that NEAR Intents faced approximately $600k in exposure. The Foundation confirmed the vulnerability has been fully patched and the offending transactions have been erased from Litecoin's history, while valid transactions during the period remain unaffected. Saturday's incident marks the first known attack targeting MWEB since Litecoin activated the privacy extension via soft fork in May 2022. LTC traded near $56 on Saturday afternoon, down about 1% on the day and showing no immediate market reaction, though the token is down nearly 25% year-to-date. The incident occurs amid a challenging period for crypto security, with DeFi protocols losing over $750 million to exploits in 2026 through mid-April.2026-04-19 19:01Kelp DAO Bridge Exploit Results in $293M Mint, Leaves Aave With Over $200M in Bad DebtGate News message, April 19 — On April 18 at 17:35 UTC, an attacker exploited a vulnerability in Kelp DAO's LayerZero-powered cross-chain bridge, releasing 116,500 rsETH (approximately $293 million and roughly 18% of the token's circulating supply) to an attacker-controlled wallet without corresponding ETH being locked. The attacker then deposited the unbacked rsETH into Aave V3 and V4 as collateral, borrowing real wrapped ether (WETH) against it. By the time Kelp's emergency multisig froze the protocol 46 minutes later, the WETH had been withdrawn. The bridge vulnerability allowed the attacker to submit a crafted message that passed verification checks despite no actual deposit on the source chain. Two follow-up attempts at 18:26 and 18:28 UTC to drain an additional 40,000 rsETH each were reverted after the pause was activated. Aave now carries between $177 million and $236 million in bad debt, concentrated in the rsETH/WETH pair on Ethereum. The platform's total value locked (TVL) dropped approximately $6 billion, WETH market utilization hit 100% (preventing further withdrawals), and AAVE token declined over 18%. Aave's Umbrella insurance fund holds about $50 million, leaving a significant gap. The borrow positions are effectively unliquidatable as rsETH collateral cannot be redeemed and will not trade near peg once the unbacked supply is fully recognized. SparkLend, Fluid, and Upshift paused or froze rsETH within hours; Morpho's isolated market architecture limited exposure to approximately $1 million across two markets. rsETH across 20-plus chains now faces backing uncertainty until Kelp publishes a reconciliation of reserves against outstanding supply. This exploit marks the largest DeFi incident of 2026, with cumulative DeFi losses for the year reaching between $450 million and $482 million across roughly 45 protocols.2026-04-13 07:22USDD 从 Spark 取回 1.09 亿枚 USDT,补充进 PSM 稳定池Gate News 消息,4 月 13 日,据余烬监测,USDD 于 1 小时前从借贷平台 Spark 取回 1.09 亿枚 USDT,随后补充进 USDD 的 PSM 池(Peg Stability Module,锚定稳定模块)。目前 USDD 兑换 USDT 的可用流动性为 4200 万美元。

Designed as a decentralized and overcollateralized stablecoin, $USDD aims to maintain a stable 1:1 peg with the US dollar while supporting broader liquidity, yield generation, and DeFi participation across multiple blockchain ecosystems. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 One of $USDD’s core structural features is its overcollateralized framework. Rather than relying solely on simple reserve backing, the system maintains excess collateral designed to strengthen resilience during periods of market volatility. This model helps: • improve systemic stability • reduce liquidation risks • enhance long-term sustainability • support stronger confidence in the ecosystem Combined with transparent on-chain verification, the framework creates a more open and verifiable stablecoin structure. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗔 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 $USDD also integrates a Peg Stability Module (PSM), allowing users to swap USDD with USDT or USDC at a 1:1 ratio with zero slippage. That mechanism helps: • maintain price stability • improve liquidity coordination • support market efficiency • create arbitrage balancing opportunities during volatility Alongside automated liquidation systems and collateral auctions, the ecosystem is designed to preserve stability without relying on centralized intervention. 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗨𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 $USDD is no longer limited to a single blockchain environment. The stablecoin is now deployed across: • TRON • Ethereum • BNB Chain This multi-chain approach improves accessibility while allowing users to participate across a broader range of DeFi ecosystems and applications. As interoperability becomes increasingly important in Web3 infrastructure, cross-chain liquidity access may continue playing a major role in stablecoin adoption. 𝗦𝗨𝗦𝗗𝗗 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 Another important component of the ecosystem is sUSDD, the yield-bearing version of USDD. Users can generate returns through: • sUSDD holding • staking strategies • liquidity provision • looping strategies • broader DeFi participation The ecosystem focuses on flexible yield generation while maintaining user accessibility and liquidity efficiency. This creates more opportunities for both beginners and advanced DeFi participants to optimize capital utilization. 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆, 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 USDD’s infrastructure also emphasizes: • publicly verifiable reserves • decentralized execution • automated smart contract systems • risk-controlled asset allocation • active ecosystem monitoring The ecosystem has additionally undergone multiple audits from major Web3 security firms, reinforcing its focus on long-term operational security. As stablecoin markets continue maturing, systems capable of combining transparency, scalability, security, and sustainable yield infrastructure may become increasingly important across decentralized finance.

MTN Nigeria has released its unaudited Q1 2026 results, sustaining the recovery momentum that began in 2025 after two years of losses. The telecom giant reported a pre-tax profit of N546.42 billion for the quarter, representing a 169.64% increase compared to N202.65 billion recorded in Q1 2025. The performance marks MTN Nigeria’s second-best quarterly pre-tax profit since listing, coming just 4% below the N569.59 billion recorded in Q4 2025. ### More**Stories** ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-293f0c65ca-f3020fc17b-8b7abd-e5a980) ### Best performing Nigerian stocks for the week ended May 8, 2026 May 10, 2026 ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-17ea99d1c7-fd90148cdf-8b7abd-e5a980) ### Meet the women CEOs running Nigeria’s most profitable listed companies  May 10, 2026 This follows a turnaround in 2025, when the telecom giant returned to profitability after losses in 2023 and 2024. Before the crisis, MTN Nigeria posted a profit after tax of N349 billion in 2022. However, the sharp depreciation of the naira changed the company’s earnings story. In 2023, MTN slipped into a loss after tax of N137 billion. By 2024, losses deepened further to N400 billion, dragging retained earnings to a negative N607 billion and shareholders’ funds to negative N458 billion. The market reacted sharply at the time. MTN’s share price, which traded as high as N293 during 2024, eventually closed the year at N200. But the company has staged a strong comeback. The stock has since rallied from N200 in 2024 to as high as N915 in April 2026 before pulling back to N801.10 as of May 8, 2026. So, what really happened between the crisis years of 2023 and 2024, the recovery in 2025, and the sustained momentum now being seen in 2026? MTN Nigeria’s management attributes much of the recovery to operational discipline. Commenting on the Q1 2026 results, CEO Karl Toriola stated: * _“Despite a challenging cost environment, strong operational discipline kept operating expenses well contained, delivering meaningful operating leverage. EBITDA increased by 68.1%, and EBITDA margin expanded by 8.7 percentage points to 55.3%, in line with our medium-term guidance of a mid-to-high 50% margin range. As a result, PBT rose by 169.6% to N546.4 billion.” _ However, a deeper look into the company’s financials shows that one of the most surprising parts of MTN Nigeria’s recovery story is that the company never really suffered from weak demand, even during the loss-making years. * While FX losses and rising costs pressured earnings, Nigerians continued spending heavily on calls, internet access, streaming, mobile banking, and other digital services. This steady demand helped MTN grow revenue consistently over the last three years, rising from N2.01 trillion in 2022 to N2.47 trillion in 2023, before surging to N5.20 trillion in 2025. The momentum has continued into 2026, with Q1 revenue climbing 41.6% year-on-year to N1.49 trillion. * If annualized, MTN Nigeria could be on track to generate close to N6 trillion in revenue in 2026. The acceleration reflects a combination of stronger data consumption, tariff adjustments implemented in early 2025, subscriber growth, and expanding digital services adoption. * Data revenue surged by 74.5% to N2.78 trillion in 2025, contributing more than 53% of total revenue, while data subscribers rose by 11.6% to 53.2 million users. * Mobile subscribers also increased by 7.9% to 87.3 million, while fintech revenue jumped 79.7% to N191.27 billion as MoMo wallets expanded by 30.8% to 3.7 million users. In simple terms, consumers have continued prioritising connectivity, helping MTN maintain strong commercial momentum. If demand remained strong, what then caused the collapse in profit? The answer was foreign exchange losses. Despite resilient revenue and operating performance, MTN Nigeria’s earnings were heavily damaged by the sharp depreciation of the naira. * The company recorded FX losses of N740.43 billion in 2023, which worsened to N925.36 billion in 2024 as the devaluation of the naira significantly increased the revaluation impact of foreign currency obligations and lease liabilities. The impact was severe enough to wipe out operating profits and push the telecom giant into losses despite growing demand for data and digital services. However, the story changed in 2025, as FX pressure eased and the naira stabilized relative to previous periods. * MTN Nigeria recorded a net FX gain of N90.27 billion in 2025, followed by another N33.3 billion FX gain in Q1 2026. This reversal became one of the biggest drivers behind the company’s return to profitability, allowing its strong operating earnings to finally flow through to the bottom line. The company’s shift toward a data-driven business model also became increasingly visible during the period. * Back in 2022, voice revenue was still MTN’s largest revenue stream, contributing about 43% of total revenue compared to 38% data. * By 2023, data revenue had overtaken voice to become the company’s largest earnings contributor, signaling a major shift in consumer behavior as Nigerians increasingly spent more on internet access and digital connectivity than traditional voice calls. That transition accelerated further in 2025 as data firmly established itself as the company’s dominant revenue engine. * At the same time, MTN’s fintech business continued expanding rapidly, reinforcing the company’s evolution from a traditional telecom operator into a broader digital connectivity and fintech platform. Still, risks remain despite the recovery. MTN Nigeria may have returned to profitability, but financing pressure remains heavy. The company recorded finance costs of N143.27 billion in Q1 2026 alone, almost equal to the N147.29 billion it spent during the whole of 2022. This follows a finance cost of N524.91 billion recorded in 2025. #### **What are investors seeing** The recovery in MTN Nigeria’s earnings and balance sheet has triggered a sharp re-rating in the stock, pushing the company’s market capitalization to about N16.8 trillion and making it the third most capitalized stock on the Nigerian Exchange. Importantly, the recovery has also returned MTN Nigeria to the path of dividend payments. After the FX crisis disrupted profitability, the company declared a total dividend of N20 per share for the 2025 financial year. Despite the strong rally, MTN Nigeria’s valuation does not yet appear excessively stretched relative to the scale of its recovery. * The company currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 15x, while EBITDA rose strongly to N2.74 trillion and return on assets stood at 25.9%. Investor optimism reflects growing confidence that MTN Nigeria may have moved beyond the peak of its FX-driven crisis, with stronger operating profits, expanding data revenue, rising fintech adoption, and improving balance sheet strength now supporting a more sustainable earnings outlook Overall, with a PEG ratio of just 0.32x, MTN Nigeria’s valuation suggests the stock may still be trading below the pace of its earnings recovery despite the sharp rally recorded over the last year. Given its earnings growth rate at least in the past 3 years, the stock appears undervalued. * * * Add Nairametrics on Google News Follow us for Breaking News and Market Intelligence. ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-e7cdc92e8a-2b09747f34-8b7abd-e5a980) ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-f96bd5157a-236c257395-8b7abd-e5a980) ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-8ebfd9ab95-72f576f44b-8b7abd-e5a980) ![](https://img-cdn.gateio.im/social/moments-95f1d55a6b-62cedbdaa1-8b7abd-e5a980)

2026 National Safe Boating Week Offers Tips for All Boaters 2026 National Safe Boating Week Offers Tips for All Boaters ----------------------------------------------------------- PR Newswire CLEARWATER, Fla., May 10, 2026 CLEARWATER, Fla., May 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- National Safe Boating Week, taking place May 16–22, 2026, reminds boaters to brush up on essential boating safety skills and prepare for the busy summer boating season ahead of Memorial Day weekend. This annual observance highlights the importance of responsible boating practices and supports a broader global effort to encourage safe boating practices and an enjoyable experience on the water. "National Safe Boating Week is the perfect time for boaters to get ready for a fun and safe season on the water," said Captain Peg Phillips, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council. "By taking a few simple steps now—like checking equipment, wearing a life jacket, and taking a safety course—boaters can help ensure every outing is a safe one." U.S. Coast Guard statistics show that drowning was the reported cause of death in 76 percent of recreational boating fatalities, and that 87 percent of those who drowned were not wearing life jackets in 2024. There are many options for boaters when it comes to choosing a life jacket. When selecting a life jacket, a boater should check that it is U.S. Coast Guard approved, appropriate for the water activity, and fits properly. The National Safe Boating Council recommends sharing these daily safety tips each day of National Safe Boating Week: * **May 16: Always wear a life jacket.** Make sure everyone wears a life jacket - every time. A stowed life jacket is no use in an emergency. * **May 17: An engine cut-off switch matters – use it.** It's also the law. An engine cut-off switch is a proven safety device to stop a powerboat engine should the operator unexpectedly fall overboard. * **May 18: File a float plan.** Always let someone on shore know your trip itinerary, including operator and passenger information, boat type and registration, and communication equipment on board before you leave the dock. * **May 19: Never boat under the influence.** According to U.S. Coast Guard statistics, where the primary cause was known, alcohol was listed as the leading factor in 20% of recreational boating deaths in 2024. Always designate a sober skipper. * **May 20: Prepare for the unexpected.** Watch the weather. Always check the forecast before departing on the water and frequently during the excursion. * **May 21: Take a safe boating course.** Gain valuable knowledge and on-water experience in a boating safety course with many options for novice to experienced boaters. * **May 22: Always pay attention.** Know what's going on around you at all times. The top two primary contributing factors in boating incidents in 2024 were caused by operator inattention and improper lookout. In addition, the National Safe Boating Council also recommends the following tips: * Know where you're going and travel at safe speeds. Be familiar with the area, local boating speed zones, and always travel at a safe speed. * Keep in touch. Have more than one communication device that works when wet. VHF radios, emergency locator beacons, satellite phones, and cell phones with GPS technology can all be lifesaving devices in an emergency. * Check equipment. Schedule a free vessel safety check with local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary or U.S. Power Squadrons to make sure all essential equipment is present, working, and in good condition. The Safe Boating Campaign is produced under a grant from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and administered by the U.S. Coast Guard. The campaign offers a variety of free and paid resources to support local boating safety education efforts. Learn more at www.safeboatingcampaign.com. **About the National Safe Boating Council** Established in 1958, the National Safe Boating Council is the foremost coalition for the advancement and promotion of safer boating through education, outreach, and training.
