In the aftermath of the UXLINK security incident, a typical "hot potato" scenario has emerged on-chain.
According to analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), address 0x4f3...510a1 invested heavily in UXLINK early this morning—spending 273 ETH (approximately $927,000), with an average price of about $0.03283 per token. However, shortly after the purchase, hackers exploited vulnerabilities to maliciously inflate the supply, instantly diluting the token's value, leaving the address with only about $2,000, resulting in a loss of up to $925,000, with a loss rate close to 99.8%.
This incident also highlights the harsh reality of on-chain security risks: even with precisely calculated entry timing, it can all be rendered worthless in an instant due to project attacks.
【Hong Kong Virtual Asset ETF Transaction Amounts Show Significant Disparity】
As of the close on September 23, data shows that the total transaction amount of 6 virtual asset ETFs listed in Hong Kong reached HKD 57.4569 million on that day, but the funds were mainly concentrated in leading products. The Huaxia series ETFs performed the most prominently, with the Bitcoin ETF (3042.HK) achieving a transaction amount of HKD 31.85 million, accounting for over half; the Huaxia Ethereum ETF (3046.HK) recorded HKD 19.44 million. In contrast, the transaction amounts of the products under Harvest and Bosera HashKey are relatively limited: the Harvest Bitcoin ETF (3439.HK) was HKD 1.72 million, and the Ethereum ETF (3179.HK) only HKD 226,900; the Bosera HashKey Bitcoin ETF (3008.HK) transacted HKD 1.29 million, and the Ethereum ETF (3009.HK) recorded HKD 2.93 million. Overall, the market funds still exhibit the characteristic of "high concentration, uneven distribution."
【UXLINK Major Security Incident Triggers Market Chain Reaction】
Due to a security vulnerability exploited by hackers in the multi-signature wallet, a large amount of assets from UXLINK have been transferred to multiple CEX and DEX. The official team has urgently contacted the exchanges to freeze the suspicious funds.
As a result, the price of UXLINK tokens plummeted about 70% in a short period, and the contract market also experienced severe fluctuations: in the past 12 hours, the total liquidation amount across the network reached 5.53 million USD, with long liquidations amounting to 3.68 million USD and short liquidations amounting to 1.85 million USD, ranking eighth in liquidation scale across the entire market.

【Cryptocurrency market rebounds after fluctuations, buying support becomes apparent】
Starting from September 22 at 13:59, the cryptocurrency market faced strong selling pressure, with Bitcoin suddenly dropping over 2%, Ethereum's decline expanding to 5%, and Solana plummeting 7% within 3 minutes. However, after Bitcoin reached the key price level of 111,900, buying strength gradually increased, and the market quickly warmed up. Analysts pointed out that this rebound did not have a clear positive driver, but rather seemed like typical 'buying on dips' behavior playing a role in the short term.
On-chain data shows that 'Brother Ma Ji' is currently facing significant pressure in his recent bullish positions, with a total floating loss of over 18.77 million USD from three major holdings.
ETH: The position size reached 110 million USD, with an average price of 4,498.16 USD, currently showing a paper loss of about 8.12 million USD.
PUMP: Invested 28.98 million USD, with an average price of 0.007535 USD, showing a floating loss of about 7.71 million USD.
HYPE: Position of 25.53 million USD, with an average price of 54.3622 USD, showing a floating loss of nearly 2.92 million USD.
Overall, although 'Brother Ma Ji' still maintains a high position bet, the withdrawal pressure on his funds has become quite apparent due to market fluctuations.
On September 21, HyperInsight data showed that "Brother Ma Ji" Huang Li Cheng continued to increase short positions on Hyperliquid, with the latest position size rising to 1.03 million USD (approximately 575,000 ASTER), and a leverage ratio of 3 times. With the increase in positions, the overall opening average price rose to 1.379 USD, corresponding to a liquidation price increase to 3.0877 USD. Due to ASTER's nearly 100% strong rise in the past 24 hours, its current unrealized loss has reached 240,000 USD, currently quoted at 1.8744 USD.
Shibarium strengthens security mechanisms, focusing on defense and recovery
After recently experiencing a flash loan attack and the theft of approximately 2.4 million dollars in assets, the Shibarium team quickly launched a series of security updates, with the core goal of preventing similar risks from occurring again and protecting community interests.
This update covers multiple aspects: on one hand, the team has restricted certain bridging operations and upgraded protections for potential abuse pathways such as deposits, withdrawals, claims, and rewards; on the other hand, there has been intervention regarding the short-term staking of BONE tokens by attackers to ensure the security of funds at the staking management level. At the same time, Shibarium has completed validator signature rotation, migrated contract control to multi-party hardware custody, and is gradually phasing out the old key system.
In addition, the team has launched a real-time monitoring mechanism to automatically track attacker activities and synchronize notifications to partners and exchanges; they have also engaged independent security researchers, professional incident response companies, and relevant regulatory authorities to collectively enhance overall security defense capabilities.
Overall, Shibarium's response measures this time are not only a repair for sudden security incidents but more like a systematic defense upgrade. Whether market confidence can be restored in the future will require continuous observation and cooperation from the community and external security partners.

In 2025, at the Tencent Global Digital Ecology Conference, StoneLink and Tencent Cloud International officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This initiative not only signifies a further upgrade in the cooperative relationship between the two parties but also reflects the new trends in global digitization and compliance development. StoneLink has long been deeply engaged in digital technology and compliance system construction, while Tencent Cloud International provides solid support for this cooperation with its globally leading cloud services and technological advantages.
Witnessed by industry leaders and ecological partners, this cooperation is seen as an important step in promoting the construction of compliant digital infrastructure and will inject new momentum into frontier fields such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and financial technology. The conference also gathered heavyweight enterprises and institutions such as GoTo Group, Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, and MUFG Bank (China) to discuss the future industrial landscape.
Former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler once again sends a strong signal.
In an interview this Wednesday, he expressed that he is "proud" of the cryptocurrency enforcement actions taken during his tenure, emphasizing that digital assets remain a "highly speculative and extremely risky" area.
Regarding the controversial enforcement path, Gensler showed no signs of wavering. He mentioned that the primary task of the regulatory team is to protect investor interests while pointing out that there are numerous fraud cases within the industry, with Sam Bankman-Fried being just one typical example.
This statement is seen as a continuation of the current stance of U.S. regulators. Even though Gensler has stepped down, the SEC's enforcement logic remains unchanged, and the pressure on crypto companies regarding compliance and scrutiny is expected to persist for a long time.
Viewpoint: The market may underestimate the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate cuts, Bitcoin is expected to benefit
On September 20, economist Timothy Peterson pointed out that current investors may be overly confident that the Federal Reserve will cut rates "gradually," but the reality may be different. He emphasized that the Federal Reserve has never taken such a slow approach to rate cuts in history, thus the market underestimates the possibility of rapid rate cuts in the coming months.
Peterson believes that this "unexpected effect" could catch both traditional and cryptocurrency markets off guard, and cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin and altcoins, will become direct beneficiaries, with a strong rise expected in the next 3 to 9 months.
His viewpoint was expressed shortly after the Federal Reserve announced its first rate cut of the year on September 17. The 25 basis point cut was almost entirely in line with market expectations, with the CME FedWatch tool indicating a 96% probability pointing to this outcome before the meeting, and only 4% of traders betting on a larger cut. But Peterson warned that the real surprise or impact may come in the pace of subsequent policies.
Grayscale is accelerating its positioning in the cryptocurrency ETF space.
On September 19, Grayscale submitted a revised S-1 filing to the SEC, proposing to convert its Dogecoin Trust into an ETF and plans to list it on the NYSE Arca under the ticker "GDOG". Coinbase will serve as the lead broker and custodian.
Meanwhile, NYSE Arca is also taking action, submitting amendments to the listing terms for Grayscale's Ethereum Trust and its "mini" trust, leveraging the SEC's latest "universal listing standards" to gain greater regulatory flexibility.
Grayscale specifically emphasized in its application that Dogecoin has been trading futures and options on CFTC-regulated exchanges for over six months, fully complying with the new regulatory conditions; it also clarified that its trust does not fall under the definition of an "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, thereby avoiding additional constraints.
If GDOG is successfully approved, it will become another product directly tracking the price of Dogecoin, following the recently approved REX and Osprey's Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) earlier this Thursday, intensifying market competition.
The EU is accelerating the integration of capital markets. EU Financial Services Commissioner Mairead McGuinness proposed on Thursday that more measures will be introduced by the end of the year to encourage pension funds to enter the market and optimize trading processes to boost the vitality of the European capital markets. She also revealed that the EU is studying the consolidation of certain key regulatory functions under the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), including centralized oversight of core infrastructure such as central counterparties, central securities depositories, and trading platforms. At the same time, emerging fields like cryptocurrency service providers are also expected to be included in a unified regulatory framework. McGuinness emphasized that this does not weaken the regulatory authority of individual countries but rather provides a more efficient and transparent regulatory environment for the entire European market through higher-level coordination.
Market Observation: The Bank of Japan's Balance Sheet Reduction Triggers Rate Hike Expectations
On September 19, after the Bank of Japan unexpectedly released hawkish signals, the yen strengthened against major developed economies and Asian currencies. Market participants generally believe that this move indicates a shift in the central bank's policy focus.
StoneX senior market analyst Matt Simpson pointed out that although the Bank of Japan maintained its interest rates as expected, it announced a reduction in its large-scale ETF and REIT holdings, sending a clear tightening signal to the outside world. He emphasized that this is not only a symbolic action indicating Japan's gradual exit from the ultra-loose monetary policy of 'Abenomics' but also reinforces market expectations for a rate hike in October.
On September 19, Binance announced in an official statement that users can participate in the JOJO exclusive TGE event on the Alpha event page as long as their Alpha points reach 210 or above, with each participation consuming 15 points.
