The warning centers on AI-powered voice and video scams targeting people who hold digital assets. The campaign goes by “Voice Phishing Complete Guide.” It’s part of the exchange’s Information Protection Day push. Focus is on deepfake and deepvoice fraud, where criminals use artificial intelligence to copy the voices and faces of family members, exchange staff, or government officials during live calls, according to DigitalToday.

The post Gasless Stablecoin Wallets Compared: Where to Send and Swap USDT and USDC Without Gas Fees appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stablecoin holders run into the same problem every month: USDT and USDC require a separate native token to cover gas fees on most wallets. Send USDT on Tron and the transfer fails without TRX. Move USDC on Ethereum and the wallet asks for ETH first. A small group of wallets now skips that requirement entirely. Instead of asking users to hold a separate gas token, these wallets take the network fee directly out of the stablecoin being sent. Send 100 USDC and a small portion covers the fee, with no ETH balance needed. Five gasless stablecoin wallet options stand out in 2026 across coverage, fees, and trade-offs. Quick Comparison of Gasless Stablecoin Wallets The table below summarizes how each wallet handles gasless USDT and gasless USDC transfers across its supported networks.
