ChangpengZhao

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao is sounding the alarm on rising crypto threats following the high-profile hacks of Cointelegraph and CoinMarketCap.
The crypto industry is on high alert after two major websites, CoinMarketCap and Cointelegraph, fell victim to hackers.
In response to these incidents, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao has issued a warning, urging users to be careful with wallet connections.
Changpeng Zhao warns users against the rise of crypto-hacks.
In a recent X post, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao expressed concern over the growing number of crypto hacks.
As an example of the growing threat, CZ highlighted recent breaches of prominent crypto websites such as CoinMarketCap and Cointelegraph. He warned users to be careful when connecting wallets. His post read,
2 days ago CMC, now CT. Hackers are targeting information web sites now. Be careful when authorizing wallet connect.

Recently, Web3 security company CertiK indicated that attackers are turning their attention to targeting users through social engineering schemes exploiting smart contract vulnerabilities. In May,
Coinbase was targeted in a security breach, where hackers stole sensitive information of major clients.
According to CertiK, there has been a significant increase in cryptohacks powered by wallet compromises.
This change is reflected in significant losses in 2025. This year, hackers have stolen more than $2.1 billion, largely due to wallet compromises and phishing attacks.

Ronghui Gu, Co-Founder of CertiK said,
Attackers always target the weakest point…Smart contracts or blockchain code itself was the weakest point, but now the attackers feel like the weakest points may come from human behavior rather than the code.

Whatever happened to CoinMarketCap and Cointelegraph?
Notably, Changpeng Zhao's warning comes in response to recent breaches of CoinMarketCap and Cointelegraph.
CoinMarketCap hack
CoinMarketCap suffered a security breach, where hackers exploited a vulnerability on the platform. While the hacked platform displayed a malicious pop-up notification attempting to trick users into verifying their crypto wallets, CoinMarketCap quickly removed the code.
Changpeng Zhao revealed that CoinMarketCap reported 39 victims with a combined loss of $18,570 based on initial on-chain analysis, and that the platform has committed to cover all losses.
Cointelegraph Hack
Crypto news outlet Cointelegraph confirmed that its website was hacked into a front-end exploit, which promoted a fake token airdrop and targeted user funds.
The media platform acknowledged the “fraudulent pop-ups” and said it was actively working on a fix. "Do not click on these pop-ups, connect your wallet [or] enter any personal information," the platform warned.
Notably, the fake pop-up notification tricked users into a cheap scam. They claimed that users have been selected to be given tokens as part of the platform's 'fair launch initiative'.
It falsely displayed the value of tokens, promised users that they would get about $5,500 worth of tokens if they linked their wallets, and even falsified CertiK's audit approval. This tactic mirrors a similar attack on CoinMarketCap that occurred just two days ago.

Quỹ tín thác Osprey BNB Chain Trust (OBNB) vừa chính thức được niêm yết trên thị trường OTCQX, đánh dấu lần đầu tiên nhà đầu tư tại Mỹ có thể tiếp cận token $BNB dưới dạng quỹ đầu tư công khai. Đây là bước đột phá trong việc đưa tài sản số như BNB đến gần hơn với các nhà đầu tư truyền thống.

Những Điểm Nổi Bật Của OBNB

1. Niêm yết công khai:

• Ban đầu được triển khai dưới hình thức chào bán riêng lẻ (private placement), #OBNB giờ đây cho phép giao dịch trực tiếp trên thị trường #OTCQX với mức phí quản lý cạnh tranh.

• Nhà đầu tư có thể tích hợp OBNB vào các tài khoản hưu trí như #IRA hoặc Roth IRA, tận dụng lợi ích thuế và mở rộng danh mục đầu tư an toàn.

2. Đặc điểm khác biệt so với ETF:

• Không giống các quỹ ETF như Bitcoin hoặc Ethereum, OBNB là quỹ tín thác được giao dịch trên OTCQX thay vì các sàn chứng khoán lớn.

• Giá cổ phiếu OBNB có thể biến động mạnh do sự chênh lệch cung cầu, hiện dao động ở mức 55 USD với khối lượng giao dịch khiêm tốn khoảng 362.761 USD.

3. Tầm nhìn chiến lược:

Greg King, CEO của Osprey Funds, nhấn mạnh:

“OBNB kết nối tài chính truyền thống và tài sản số, mang lại cơ hội đầu tư vào BNB thông qua các tài khoản môi giới và IRA.”

Cộng Đồng và Góc Nhìn Từ CZ

Cựu CEO Binance, #ChangpengZhao (CZ), đã bày tỏ sự ủng hộ mạnh mẽ đối với quỹ OBNB. CZ chia sẻ rằng ông chỉ mới biết về quỹ này vài ngày trước, nhưng nhận định đây là bước tiến lớn trong việc đưa BNB ra công chúng tại Mỹ.

Nhiều người còn so sánh OBNB với quỹ $BTC của Grayscale ra mắt vào năm 2021 và tin rằng OBNB sẽ tạo động lực cho sự xuất hiện của các quỹ BNB khác, góp phần thúc đẩy giá trị của token này.


Giá BNB Hiện Tại

Mặc dù thị trường có nhịp điều chỉnh sau thông báo giảm lãi suất từ Fed, giá BNB chỉ giảm nhẹ 1,3% trong 24 giờ qua và hiện dao động quanh mức 697 USD.


Kết Luận

Việc ra mắt quỹ OBNB không chỉ mang lại cơ hội đầu tư vào BNB cho các nhà đầu tư truyền thống mà còn mở ra tương lai tươi sáng cho token này trên thị trường Mỹ. Đây có thể là tiền đề cho những bước phát triển đột phá trong lĩnh vực tài sản số.

CZ Warns Against Risks of Shared Private Keys
Changpeng Zhao (CZ), former CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has issued a warning to crypto holders about the dangers of accepting digital assets through shared private keys or pre-configured wallets. This caution highlights the significant risks associated with shared wallet access.
A Simple Transfer Could Empty Your Wallet
Speaking on the social media platform X, CZ shared his concerns about shared access to crypto wallets. He noted that he had recently come across several cases of people accepting crypto in this way and called it a "bad idea."
“If you allow someone else to retain access to your private key or seed phrase, you’re exposing yourself to unnecessary risks,” CZ warned.
Recommendations for Safe Crypto Transfers
CZ emphasized that the best practice is to accept crypto only to an address you fully control. He advised users to:
Transfer funds to their personal wallet immediately after receiving them.Ask the sender to directly transfer funds to an address they own.
“If you accept crypto through a pre-configured wallet or shared key, the sender can still retain access to all funds,” CZ added.
CZ: “Shared Access Is a Bad Idea”
The former Binance CEO also pointed out the difficulty in proving responsibility in cases where funds are moved or stolen if two people have access to the same wallet.
“If cryptocurrencies are moved – whether intentionally or due to a hack – it’s nearly impossible to prove who did it,” CZ explained.
CZ’s Past and Current Plans
CZ stepped down as CEO of Binance in November 2023 after pleading guilty to U.S. federal charges, including violations of anti-money laundering regulations. Following a four-month prison sentence served at a low-security facility, he was released in September 2024.
Since then, he has distanced himself from Binance operations and announced plans to invest in blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. Richard Teng has taken over as Binance’s CEO, leading the company through ongoing regulatory challenges.
Security First
CZ’s warning serves as an essential reminder for cryptocurrency users to maintain security and caution when managing their digital assets. Shared private keys or pre-configured wallets are not a safe solution. Proper protection of funds is critical to minimizing risks in the crypto space.
