Protocols/assets in scope: DYDX, ETH. Named institutions or platforms: Arcus, dYdX Labs, Robinhood Crypto. Teams should monitor the original source, map the change to licensing, custody, disclosure, and market-access obligations, and update their jurisdiction playbooks before the next compliance review.

Compliance read-through: map this event to entity licensing, market-access, custody, disclosure, token listing, and operational-risk obligations before expanding or marketing in the affected jurisdiction.
