New ERC-20 approval to unverified contract from whale

Circle USYC's assessment for RD-F-096 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Signal is user-level behavior monitoring (whale approval to unverified contract). USYC cannot be deposited into arbitrary unverified contracts - the Entitlements system blocks transfers to non-whitelisted recipient addresses. A USYC holder cannot grant a meaningful approval to an unverified contract because any resulting transfer would fail the Entitlements check.
