Jinse Finance reported that a custody service provider, Old Const, has filed a lawsuit against bitcoin mining machine manufacturer Bitmain, accusing Bitmain of improperly terminating the contract between the two parties. Old Const had purchased Bitmain's "HASH Supercomputing Server" and agreed to provide custody services, claiming that Bitmain "fabricated so-called breaches of contract in order to immediately terminate the agreement." In addition, Old Const accused Bitmain of threatening to seek a seizure order known as a "writ of replevin" outside the jurisdiction of Texas. Old Const believes that Bitmain's actions violate the Custody Service Agreement signed by both parties in November 2024, which stipulates that any legal disputes should be resolved in Texas. Old Const's lawsuit requests the court to issue a temporary restraining order and injunction to prevent Bitmain from obtaining any seizure orders from courts outside of Texas.

Jinse Finance reported that the $2.3 million contract renewal between crypto lending platform Compound Finance and Gauntlet is facing opposition due to reasons such as "poor economic performance" and "conflict of interest." Before Gauntlet submitted the renewal proposal, Alpha Growth founder and CEO Bryan Colligan posted on Compound's governance forum suggesting that Compound "should not rehire Gauntlet under the current model." He raised four main criticisms, accusing Gauntlet of "operational loopholes," failing to maintain profitable partnerships with other platforms, as well as the aforementioned issues of "poor economic performance" and "conflict of interest."
