Hacker Moves $83M in Stolen XRP as The Exchange Works Through Fallout

The fallout of $387.5 million breach is still unfolding.

The attacker has reportedly moved around $83 million worth of stolen $XRP from three holding wallets, while roughly $75 million remains in wallets that cannot be frozen under XRP Ledger rules.

Exchanges can blacklist accounts receiving the stolen funds, but the attacker’s wallets themselves can’t be blocked. Meanwhile, Circle and Tether have frozen about $320,000 in related stablecoins.

the exchange says its protection fund will fully cover the losses and that customer balances remain unaffected. Withdrawals are expected to resume gradually between Sept. 28 and Oct. 2.

The focus now shifts from the hack itself to how much of the stolen funds can actually be tracked, frozen, or recovered. 🚨💰

What are you thoughts on it 👀?

Trump: Iran War Could End Soon, Gas Prices May Drop

President Trump said the conflict with Iran could be over “very soon,” adding that gasoline prices are expected to fall sharply once the war ends.

The remarks come as traders closely watch Middle East tensions, with oil markets remaining highly sensitive to any signs of escalation or a potential diplomatic breakthrough.

Energy prices remain one of the key market themes to watch.

💰 Bitcoin vs Ethereum Treasury Battle

Hmm.. let me tell you A Tale of Profits and Losses today 😆

Michael Saylor’s Strategy continues to sit on massive Bitcoin gains, while Ethereum treasury giant Bitmine remains deep underwater.

🔹 Strategy ($BTC )
• Bought 334 BTC last week for $28.67M
• Total holdings: 848,000 BTC
• Current value: $73.03B
• Average cost: $75,441 per BTC
• Unrealized profit: $9.06B (+14.16%)

🔹 Bitmine ($ETH )
• Bought 15,112 ETH last week for $40.6M
• Total holdings: 6.02M ETH
• Current value: $16.34B
• Average cost: $3,336 per ETH
• Unrealized loss: $3.73B (-18.58%)

So… The contrast is striking: one treasury strategy is sitting on billions in paper gains, while the other is carrying billions in unrealized losses.

Now … the Question is : 👀

If you were managing a public crypto treasury today, would you choose BTC 🟠 or ETH 🔵 as the primary reserve asset?

Do lemme know your thoughts or choice on it ?

Microsoft Account Hacked to Promote Fake Crypto Token 😳

Like … Seriously? Whats going on these days …

Microsoft confirmed unauthorized access to its official account after posts promoted a crypto token tied to Clippy.

🔹 Unauthorized posts were removed.
🔹 Microsoft secured the account and launched an investigation.
🔹 Claims linking the token to Microsoft had no verified backing.
🔹 A follow up statement denied any connection between Microsoft and the token.

Another reminder that even verified accounts can be compromised. Always double check before trusting token promotions.
Always be careful 🤨

NEAR Intents Recovers Entire $3.8M Stolen in Attack

Whats going on? 🙄

NEAR Intents has confirmed that the full $3.8 million stolen in a previous exploit has been returned, bringing the incident to a close.

According to General Manager Alex Shevchenko, the team is ending its investigation after successfully recovering all funds. The announcement comes after NEAR Intents previously identified the entity behind the attack and issued a 48 hour deadline for the return of the assets.

The team also urged security researchers and developers to use its bug bounty program to report vulnerabilities rather than disrupting protocol operations.

The recovery marks a rare outcome in DeFi, where exploited funds are often only partially recovered or not recovered at all.

What is your take on this incident ?

NEAR Intents vs Exchane Hacker: The Permissionless Debate Is Back 🔥

NEAR Intents says its SHIELD security system blocked over $50M in attempted transfers linked to the The Exhange exploit and froze roughly $503K during the process.

The move has sparked debate across crypto:

• Supporters say stopping stolen funds protects users and the ecosystem.
• Critics argue a protocol that can freeze transactions shouldn’t market itself as fully permissionless.

Meanwhile, most rejected funds reportedly moved through other providers, highlighting how difficult it is to stop cross chain laundering once assets start moving.

The bigger question isn’t the $503K frozen.

It’s whether “permissionless” and “compliance” can truly coexist in the same protocol 👀

Robinhood Chain Rug Pull Network Allegedly Cashed Out $18.4M Across 53 Token Launches 👀

A suspected rug pull network on the Robinhood chain has reportedly extracted around $18.43 million from at least 53 token launches over the past two months.

The group appears to be linked to a series of coordinated token deployments and cash outs, with the real figure potentially even higher.

Interestingly, the $DEED.ETF token that sparked the investigation wasn’t among the group’s top 10 most profitable exits, suggesting the operation may be much larger than initially thought.

Another reminder that on chain activity can reveal patterns long before they become obvious to the wider market. 📉🔍

Breaking News : Leading Exchange Confirms $351.6M Hot Wallet Hack, User Funds Remain Protected 😳

The exchange says cold wallets remain secure and user funds are fully covered by its $464 million User Protection Fund. Withdrawals have been temporarily suspended while a security review is underway, though deposits and trading remain operational.

It stated that abnormal addresses have been identified and reported, with law enforcement and blockchain security firms now involved in the investigation. Updates are expected as the review progresses.

The dollar is on a roll 👀

Markets are increasingly betting the Fed isn’t done hiking rates, pushing the U.S. dollar to its highest level since late July.

With oil back above $100 and rate cut hopes fading, traders are starting to price in a higher for longer environment.

For now, the dollar keeps winning. 💵📈

not gonna lie, this is a pretty big move 👏

Binance just dropped $100 million to buy a stake in Circle, picking up 1.237 million shares at $80.84 each. The shares are locked for up to 2 years, so this isn’t some quick flip trade.

But the more interesting part is what came with it.

Binance and Circle have renewed and expanded their partnership for another 5 years. Binance will keep pushing USDC across its platform, while Circle will pay monthly incentives based on how much USDC users hold on Binance.

Feels like both sides are doubling down on USDC adoption. Binance gets exposure to Circle, Circle gets deeper distribution, and USDC gets a stronger position in the stablecoin race.

Sometimes the biggest signals aren’t new token launches, they’re the deals happening behind the scenes. 👀

Strategy’s Bitcoin Position Swings $21.5B in Less Than 3 Months

Sooo… the company bought another 950 BTC last week at an average price of $79,670. It now holds 846,000 BTC with an average acquisition cost of $75,416.

• Total holdings: 846,000 BTC
• Average cost: $75,416 per BTC
• Current unrealized gain: $8.21B

Less than three months ago, the same position was sitting on an unrealized loss of $13.26B.

That marks a swing of roughly $21.47B in paper profits as Bitcoin recovered.

Hmm… well BitMine’s ETH position also improved significantly, reducing its unrealized loss from $10.4B to $3.67B over the same period.

A reminder of how quickly fortunes can change when balance sheets become heavily tied to crypto prices.

Gemini Down 80% Since Listing But One Asset Still Matters 🙄

Gemini Space Station $GEMI.US has lost around 80% of its value since going public, with its market cap falling from nearly $4B to about $753M.

The business has slowed across the board:

• Q2 trading revenue down 38% YoY to $12.5M
• Spot volume dropped to $3.8B
• Assets under custody fell from $18.2B to $8.4B

Hmm.. Yet the real value may not be the exchange itself.

I think Gemini still holds multiple regulatory licenses and compliance approvals, making it a potential acquisition target for firms looking for a faster path into the U.S. crypto market.

Btw In crypto, licenses can sometimes be worth more than volume.

Hmm.. If your portfolio doesn't own any of these three today, don't worry.

Neither did mine. 🤝

U.S. Ready for Iran Talks, Tehran Sets Conditions

Iranian sources say Qatar and Pakistan have informed Tehran that the U.S. is ready for serious negotiations and a potential agreement.

Iran says it can resume the Islamabad Memorandum within days if Washington returns to its commitments and provides credible guarantees against future attacks.

Tehran also wants hostilities halted, restrictions lifted, and oil exports restored before formal talks on its nuclear program and sanctions relief begin.

The development signals a possible diplomatic opening after months of heightened tensions.

Trump Says Iran Wants a Deal as He Weighs Next Steps

U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran is seeking an agreement with the United States as he continues to consider whether to take further action against Tehran.

According to Trump, Iran is currently interested in reaching an agreement, but he emphasized that any deal would need to meet U.S. expectations.

"If it's not the right agreement, then I won't even consider it," Trump said, adding that he believes Iran is facing significant economic and military pressure.

The remarks suggest diplomacy remains under consideration, though no final decision on future U.S. actions has been announced.

SEC: "Tokenized stocks are welcome."

Crypto: "Wait... we're allowed in now?" 👀

$APM and $ONE watching silently..

For years, Wall Street and crypto have been standing on opposite sides of the room pretending not to notice each other.

Now the SEC just opened a door for tokenized U.S. stocks, giving projects a clearer path to put real shares on chain while keeping shareholder rights intact.

The catch?
If your token is just pretending to be a stock and only tracks the price, don't expect a VIP pass. 🚫

Meanwhile, DeFi protocols are probably refreshing their group chats every 5 seconds.

Looks like the "stocks on blockchain" narrative just got a lot more real.

$SOL is finally showing some life, but it cant compete $ONE and $AVA 👀

Hmm..sol took a strong bounce from 95.82. So the Levels I’m watching:
• Support: 100.5 → 99.7
• Resistance: 102 → 104.1 → 105.8

My take is that the Momentum is slowly shifting bullish, but SOL still needs to clear 102 with conviction. If that happens, a move toward 104–106 wouldn’t surprise me.

Fed Just Hit the "One More Time" Button 📈😅

Lol… The Fed finally did it.🙈

After more than 3 years of sitting on the sidelines, it raised interest rates by 25 basis points, pushing the benchmark rate to 3.75%–4.00%.

The move was about as surprising as seeing traders post "last chance to buy under $80k" for the 47th time this year. 😭

Even better, the Fed's latest projections hint that another hike could still be on the menu in 2026.

Bitcoin did its usual routine, a quick panic, a quick recovery, and then pretending nothing happened. 👀

Meanwhile, stocks stayed green and bond yields dipped slightly.
But what about $SYN and $LSK

Translation: the market heard "rate hike" and replied, "yeah, we kinda expected that."

Inflation is still the Fed's main boss battle, and apparently the game isn't over yet.
