Major news today:

- Thailand’s Securities Commission filed a lawsuit against OKX for unlicensed trading.

Feels like there’s a mass trend of kicking OKX — should we join in?

- Soniclabs decided to peg their stablecoin to the Dirham instead of the Dollar.

- LayerZero’s CEO said the next airdrop will not be like the first one, and sybils won’t be touched. Do we believe him?
