Through an aggressive suite of structural reforms, the state is rolling out targeted overhauls spanning industrial licensing, tax automation, entrepreneurial incentives, and green energy deployment
For decades, navigating the regulatory labyrinth of setting up and operating a business has been a premier grievance within Bangladesh's commercial ecosystem.
Entrepreneurs seeking to establish industrial plants, expand operations, or deploy fresh capital have routinely run into a wall of multi-agency licensing requirements, opaque tax structures, and protracted administrative delays.
This cumbersome framework inflated the "hidden costs" of doing business, catalyzed systemic operational uncertainties, and consistently bottlenecked the nation’s investment potential.
Innovative technology platforms and startups will qualify for a 9-year corporate tax holiday, with additional tax incentives provided to companies that set up manufacturing bases outside Dhaka and Chattogram.
To safeguard national energy security and reduce dependence on expensive imported fossil fuels, the budget introduces substantial fiscal exemptions for green tech.
Customs duties on solar panels, inverters, and specialized industrial batteries will be dramatically reduced, backed by corporate tax exemptions on solar power generation.
Renewable energy infrastructure investments will enjoy guaranteed tax concessions extending until 2035.
Import tariffs on electric vehicles will be slashed, alongside tax breaks for entities setting up public EV-charging networks.
To release billions in corporate capital currently tied up in gridlocked tax litigation, the budget institutes strict, statutory timelines for resolving tax disputes across Appeals, Tribunals, the High Court, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms.
Forcing swift and time-bound legal conclusions protects corporate cash lines while ensuring a predictable revenue stream for the state.

Alongside ambitious domestic revenue targets, state planners are relying heavily on both external and internal borrowing to plug the fiscal deficit
The proposed national budget of approximately Tk938,000 crore for the upcoming FY27 brings a mix of high macroeconomic expectations and multi-layered structural challenges.
To implement a fiscal blueprint of this magnitude, the government must mobilize massive financial resources.
Alongside ambitious domestic revenue targets, state planners are relying heavily on both external and internal borrowing to plug the fiscal deficit.
Specifically, the government’s plan to borrow a net Tk112,000 crore directly from the domestic banking sector has triggered fresh anxieties among macroeconomists and policy analysts.
According to projections from the Finance Division, the overall budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year will reach approximately Tk243,000 crore, representing roughly 3.6% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Any resulting shortfall in external aid historically shifts the burden straight back onto domestic commercial banks.
The implementation of the 9th pay scale will channel substantial liquidity directly to public sector employees, likely driving up consumer demand and household consumption.
While Finance Division officials believe this demand shift will stimulate domestic economic activity, economists warn that boosting consumption without a corresponding increase in production or supply lines risks fueling inflation.
Given that the central bank has spent months enforcing tight monetary controls to cool the economy, this sudden liquidity injection could complicate efforts to achieve price stability.

Having a TIN may be made mandatory not only for opening new accounts, but also for keeping existing bank accounts active
The government has taken the initiative to make Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) mandatory for opening and operating bank accounts in order to expand the tax net and increase transparency in financial transactions.
Having a TIN may be made mandatory not only for opening new accounts, but also for keeping existing bank accounts active.
Sources concerned at the National Board of Revenue (NBR) said that the issue of exempting students, government pensioners and individuals and organizations exempted from tax through the gazette is under consideration.
Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury may present a proposal in this regard in the upcoming budget for FY27.
Although tax is deducted at source at a relatively high rate on interest on bank deposits without TIN, TIN was not mandatory for opening bank accounts until now.
Tax administration officials believe that linking TIN with bank accounts will increase monitoring of financial transactions and reduce the scope for tax evasion. At the same time, it will be easier to increase the number of taxpayers.
In addition, there are plans to establish online connections with the databases of various government and private organizations, including National Identity Cards (NID), utility service providers, sub-registry offices
This may lead to small entrepreneurs moving out of the formal banking system, increasing dependence on cash transactions and negatively affecting bank deposit growth and liquidity.
He said that instead of imposing strict obligations, the government should focus on gradually expanding the cashless transaction system, creating opportunities for displaying bank account information digitally in tax returns, and strengthening coordination between the tax and banking systems.

RAccording to Finance Ministry officials, the primary goal of these selective tax hikes is not merely to boost short-term revenue collection, but to stimulate domestic production capabilities during a period of foreign exchange volatility
According to internal sources within the National Board of Revenue (NBR), the underlying philosophy of the upcoming tax policy is "production over imports."
The strategy aims to reduce pressure on foreign exchange reserves by discouraging non-essential imports, while simultaneously helping local industries survive international competition.
To achieve this, the state has finalized plans to increase customs tariffs, value-added taxes (VAT), and supplementary duties on specific foreign goods
To drive self-reliance in the domestic agricultural and fisheries sectors, the government is building tariff walls to shield local farmers from uneven foreign competition

Govt deploying fiscal packages explicitly structured to fast-track commercial solar power generation, localize the advanced battery manufacturing industry, and expand electric transport networks
In a major strategic shift designed to combat global climate change risks, bolster national energy security, and phase out expensive fossil fuel dependencies, the government is preparing a massive slate of tax exemptions and fiscal incentives for the renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) sectors in the upcoming FY27 national budget.
State planners are deploying targeted fiscal packages explicitly structured to fast-track commercial solar power generation, localize the advanced battery manufacturing industry, and expand electric transport networks.
According to internal sources from the Ministry of Finance, the proposed budget is highly likely to feature a 0% corporate income tax rate on commercial solar power production.
To incentivize green adoption on the demand side, a secondary proposal to offer up to a 5% rebate on retail electricity bills for consumers utilizing residential solar energy installations is also under serious active consideration.
Energy analysts view this policy overhaul as a critical turning point for the country’s power infrastructure.
Decades of heavy reliance on imported Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), coal, and furnace oil have continuous placed severe structural pressure on the central foreign exchange reserves.
To reduce initial setup costs for renewable infrastructure and storage, the upcoming budget plans to fully waive all import duties and structural taxes on raw input materials required to manufacture Lithium-Ion batteries, Sodium-Ion batteries, and specialized Lithium-Ion battery packs until 2030.
This represents a profound fiscal imbalance. National energy taxation should be determined based on lifecycles and real environmental impacts, rather than focusing entirely on standard supply-chain categories

Bitcoin's growing divergence from tech stocks raises concerns as AI spending surges, says Quinn Thompson.
Thompson's broader concern extends beyond crypto and believes a wave of blockbuster IPOs (SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI) could absorb trillions of dollars in investor capital, creating a liquidity drain.
One of the clearest signs for Thompson is the Magnificent Seven's underperformance relative to the broader Nasdaq. Historically, healthy bull markets are characterized by leaders leading. Today, however, many of the index's gains are being driven by semiconductor and AI supply chain names rather than the hyperscalers that sparked the initial rally.
The challenge for those hyperscalers is growing, Thompson says. Massive AI-related capital expenditure commitments pressure free cash flow, increasing debt levels, and reducing share buybacks.
Yet cutting spending could undermine the semiconductor and AI infrastructure trade that has supported the broader technology complex.
Thompson concludes that rising IPO supply is set to compete for capital and investor attention, while He sees a difficult path forward for both AI leaders and the wider market.

Net assets of U.S.-listed spot ETFs have fallen to levels last seen just after Trump won the election in early November 2024.
This is not to say the ETFs didn't grow in the 19-month period. Hopes that Trump would deliver on his campaign promise of friendlier crypto regulation helped push bitcoin higher, along with ETF assets. Total net assets crossed $90 billion within a week of this election win and went on to hit a record high of $169.54 billion in October 2025.
But since then, these post-election gains have been erased even though the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under the Trump administration, dropped several high-profile enforcement actions. The U.S. has established a strategic bitcoin reserve and, further, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which seeks to establish jurisdictional boundaries between the SEC and CFTC and give the industry the legal heft, is advancing in Washington.
In other words, the regulatory environment has never been more favorable, yet investors' response has been to leave, pulling the net assets lower.
These ETFs have registered a net outflow of over $5 billion in four weeks. Cumulative net inflows since inception, which peaked at $62.77 billion in October 2025 when bitcoin was at its all-time high, have since declined by nearly $9 billion to $53.77 billion, the lowest since August last year.
ETF outflows reflected short-term pressure as inflation drives the Fed hawkish, while on-chain supply tightening remains intact," Binance Research said in a report shared with CoinDesk.
Market analyst and former co-founder of 21Shares, Ophelia Snyder, said AI and other trending corners of the financial market are draining capital from crypto.
You have ETF outflows as investors are increasingly distracted by other narratives competing for attention and capital, whether that's AI, SpaceX, or other high-profile growth stories. You have ongoing market jitters around geopolitics, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. jobs data, inflation, and broader macroeconomic uncertainty," she said in an email.

The relief rally that lifted crypto off last week's lows is unwinding alongside tech stocks and gold, with traders bracing for a US inflation print and a Warsh Fed that may stay hawkish.
Ether (ETH) fell 3.4% to $1,625, and solana (SOL) dropped 4.1% to $64.24, according to CoinDesk data. XRP (XRP) lost 4.3% to
each slid less than 3%. Hyperliquid's HYPE was the worst of the majors again, down 10.2% on the day and 21.3% on the week to $55.52, the highest-beta name in the group as risk came off.
Gold and bitcoin rarely fall in lockstep, as both are stores of value that pay no yield, so both lose their appeal when traders bet on higher rates, and that is what Wednesday's U.S. inflation report could force.
South Korea's Kospi, the market most exposed to the artificial-intelligence trade through its chipmakers, tumbled 6.3%, leading a 2.5% drop in MSCI's broad Asia-Pacific equity gauge and its fourth loss in five days. Nasdaq 100 futures pointed 0.8% lower after a volatile Wall Street session. Brent crude traded near $92 a barrel as renewed U.S. strikes on Iran kept a bid under oil, and the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.54%.
A hot reading would harden the case for new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh to keep rates higher for longer, draining liquidity from the assets that ran hardest on cheap money.
The bounce that ran into Monday was a short squeeze, not fresh buying, as over $500 million in bearish bets were liquidated, the highest such figure since April.
Buyers have stepped in after the move lower, but spot demand has yet to return in a meaningful way," said Diana Pires, chief business officer at sFOX, pointing to a run of U.S. spot bitcoin ETF outflows that has kept institutional money cautious. When new demand isn't broad enough to cover the selling, she said, rallies struggle to hold.
Watch whether bitcoin can hold a bid through the inflation print or keeps trading tick-for-tick with the Nasdaq. If gold steadies and bitcoin keeps falling, the case for it as a macro hedge thins further.

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5 on Tuesday, its most capable public model running on Mythos, as it pursues a fall listing it has already filed for confidentially alongside OpenAI, which filed Monday, and SpaceX.
Mythos is Anthropic’s most advanced tier of artificial intelligence models, and Fable is the first publicly released version of this powerful underlying architecture but it comes with strict built-in safety filters.
Bitcoin has spent the past week trading as the high-beta arm of the Nasdaq, sliding with chipmakers and Asian tech as the AI trade unwound. An Anthropic listing, after its $65 billion round at a $965 billion valuation, would hand index funds and retail traders a single AI-lab stock to pile into. Crypto already moves with the AI trade, and giving that trade its own ticker only tightens its grip.
AI-linked tokens caught a modest bid on Fable's launch while bitcoin barely moved, because model releases are narrative for the sector's small caps while the majors now trade on what the AI trade does to risk appetite, not on the models themselves.

The compromised laptop held enough multisig keys to take over the project's bridges on two chains, a basic security failure for a startup backed by Pantera and Jump Crypto.
Those bridges ran through multisignature wallets, which require a number of separate keys to approve any change. A multisignature wallet is supposed to spread keys across different people and devices so that no single machine can move funds.
In this case, all the keys were stored on a single device, meaning a compromise allowed the exploier to cross the approval threshold on both chains, Humanity said.
The attacker obtained three of the six keys controlling the bridge's admin account on Ethereum, enough to seize controls linked to the project's deployment on the network.
The attacker then transferred ownership to their own wallet, swapped the bridge's code for a malicious version and drained about 141 million H in one transaction.
In a Telegram message to CoinDesk, Humanity founder Terence Kwok said the team had set up a multisig wallet across four individuals (as it should have).
Humanity suspects that "some of the keys were accidentally backed up to a compromised device during setup," Kwok said. "We use a licensed custodian for the majority of token treasury, mpc for operations treasury, and for certain contracts multisig keys were set up in one place and then dispersed.
The attacker executed similar steps on BNB Chain with three of five keys. This time, installing code with an unlimited mint function, which allowed the creation of tokens at will, and minted about 200 million new H straight to their wallet.
Humanity has since removed the team page from its website. The project said it has halted deposits and withdrawals on the affected bridges and is working with exchanges and the police to recover funds.
ZachXBT, a prominent onchain investigator, said the key compromise and a separate round of suspicious market-making in the token were not connected.
He also raised questions about how the token traded in the weeks before the breach, ahead of a large scheduled token unlock, as H token prices shot up from 20 cents to 70 cents within two weeks.
The token has clawed back some of the lost ground. After falling as low as about 5 cents during the attack, it recovered to around 20 cents, according to CoinGecko data. It remains well below the roughly pre-breach level of 67 cents.

The Nasdaq tumbled more than 3% at one point on Tuesday, helping to drag bitcoin (BTC) nearly all the way back to $60,000. An afternoon rally, however, narrowed the Nasdaq's decline to just 1%, and bitcoin bounced alongside, trading at $62,000 just after the market close.
Bounce or not, crypto-related stocks were clobbered across the board, with Coinbase (COIN) decining 4.1% and Strategy (MSTR) 8%. A notable outperformer was Galaxy Digital (GLXY), rising 7.1% as investors reassess the company's valuation in light of its rapid data center expansion.
Higher by more than 1% at the open, the Nasdaq has turned decidedly lower just ahead of the noon hour on the East Coast, now down 1.9% and below its close on Friday.
The drop can't be blamed on Middle East tensions as crude oil is at a session low, down 4% to $87.58 per barrel. Gold and silver are also taking part in the quick dive, each dropping more than 2% over roughly the past hour.
With the AI trade leading losses, bitcoin miners turned AI infrastructure players are all sharply lower. Hut 8 (HUT) is down 6.3%, MARA Holdings (MARA) 4.9%, and IREN (IREN) 8%.
If you look at bitcoin vs other assets, from a valuation perspective, it's cheap," says Jim Ferraioli, Schwab's director of crypto research (h/t Eric Balchunas).
Speaking at the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals conference, Ferraioli, said investors waiting for a specific catalyst, such as the passage of the Clarity Act, may find it too late.
There is a fundamental mismatch between the growth of money in the economy and the amount of bitcoin available to buy," said Ferraioli. "So what we look for when you want to be long crypto is when you expect an expansion of money and liquidity. The U.S. debt is larger than the US economy, and there’s historically one way govts get out of that situation: monetary inflation."
Crypto prices have returned to familiar territory on Tuesday, headed lower as risk markets across the globe are in rally mode.
Trading at $62,500, bitcoin (BTC) is down 1% over the past 24 hours and lower by nearly 3% from Monday's high.
Shortly before the U.S. market open, Nasdaq 100 futures are higher by 0.9%, tacking on to yesterday's 1.5% gain. WTI crude oil is down 2.15% to $89.34 per barrel as investors continue to price in what might be the end of the Iran conflict.
Possibly dragging on bitcoin on Tuesday was a $36 million exploit of the Humanity Protocol and its H token. Bitcoin maxis, however, might say the opposite — that the Humanity attack (and numerous other incidents against other chains in recent weeks) shows why "there is no second best."
There isn't much expected in the way of macro news on Tuesday, but May U.S. inflation data is on tap for the U.S. on Wednesday. With interest rate traders now convinced the next Fed move will be a rate hike, a downside surprise could make things interesting.

In other words, anything below $80,000 would be seen as a corrective bounce within the broader bear market that began last year. Only a move beyond that would signal the beginning of a new advance.
Technically, a recovery up to $68K could be viewed as a rebound from the downward momentum seen between 11 May and 5 June," said Alex Kuptsikevich, the chief analyst at FxPro, hinting at a lower price level to beat for the bulls.
A rally even to these levels hinges on ETF flows and macro factors. The 11 spot bitcoin ETFs listed in the U.S. have processed redemptions over $5 billion in the past four weeks. On Monday, investors yanked another $91 million, according to data source SoSoValue.
These outflows need to meaningfully reverse for the bitcoin price to gain upward momentum. In addition, Wednesday's U.S. inflation data may have to come in softer than expected, easing concerns the Fed will raise interest rates. The data is expected to show the cost of living topped 4% in May, well above the Fed's 2% goal.
The constructive path is conditional: inflation softens, Treasury yields stabilize, AI equities stop de-risking, BTC/ETH ETF outflows slow, and the market reclaims the key technical levels. Until then, the conclusion is deliberately simple: below the reclaim, there is no regime shift," Hex Trust said. Stay alert!

Circle unveiled cirBTC, a token backed 1:1 by the world's largest cryptocurrency, to allow traders to use their bitcoin wealth in DeFi protocols.
Synthetic, or wrapped, bitcoin tokens exist to address the historical lack of provision for DeFi activities on the Bitcoin network. Many cryptocurrency users prefer to hold only bitcoin because it is worth more than every other crypto combined. But using it for DeFi is challenging because that Bitcoin lacks the native programmability of networks like Ethereum.
The first token to cross the divide, wrapped bitcoin (wBTC), was introduced in 2019 and remains the largest, with a market cap of around $7.3 billion. Coinbase's (COIN) cbBTC, which appeared in 2024, sits at just under $5.4 billion.
Circle is pitching cirBTC to institutions that may focus their crypto allocation on BTC and are familiar with the company and trust its infrastructure due to its visibility in the stablecoin market. Circle's USDC is the second-largest stablecoin on the market with a cap of over $75 billion.
The introduction of cirBTC could see Circle going head to head with Coinbase and wBTC's primary custodian, BitGo Holdings (BTGO), for dominance of the institutional synthetic BTC market.
The market cap of all synthetic bitcoin tokens combined hovers between $12.5 billion and $13.5 billion, representing about 1% of bitcoin's total value of around $1.25 trillion.

Unlike most crypto, Hyperliquid actually generates cash flow and has a token buyback mechanism, says Citrini Research
Hyperliquid is a blockchain-based exchange that allows users to trade perpetual futures of crypto and other assets, such as commodities and private stocks. Its associated token, HYPE, has been one of the biggest outperformers this year, even as the rest of the digital asset sector was caught in a freefall.
The platform has generated $1.06 billion in annualized fees and about $220 billion in 30-day perp volume, according to DeFiLama data
Over 90% of the fees generated by the platform are redirected into the Assistance Fund [token buyback vehicle], which are then systematically used to purchase HYPE on the open market," the Citrini Report said.
The structure in itself is attractive, but what's more astonishing is the pure scale of the Fund. Since its launch in January 2025, cumulative purchases have surpassed $2 billion," the report added, noting that the buyback accounted for nearly half of all token-buyback activbities across crypto sector last year.
Hyperliquid has emerged as the dominant player in decentralized perpetual futures trading, accounting for the majority of on-chain derivatives volume. HYPE’s investment thesis is increasingly tied to the underlying business performance of the exchange, however, some analysts have argued that the buyback model relies heavily on sustained trading activity and could come under pressure if derivatives volumes decline. Nevertheless, the company’s ability to generate substantial revenue sets it apart from much of the crypto sector where many token valuations are simply a result of speculation.
Beyond the company’s business model, its dominance in global markets has helped fuel a broader push into perpetual futures - which have historically been banned for American traders due to regulatory constraints - in the U.S
The Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) last month opened the door for certain crypto perpetual futures products to be offered under U.S. oversight. The move has triggered a race among exchanges, including Kraken and Coinbase (COIN), seeking to capture demand for a market that accounts for the majority of global crypto trading activity. While Coinbase has already expanded its perp offerings in the U.S., Kraken is likely launching its product later this month.

Arca is blaming Strategy's sale of 32 BTC for last week's BTC crash, not AI capital rotation, as Strategy's Saylor claimed.
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market value fell nearly 14% to $60,000 last week. The sell-off happened after Strategy on June 1 disclosed that it sold 32 BTC in the preceding week. Strategy still holds 845,256 BTC worth billions of dollars.
Saylor attributed the sharp slide to AI infrastructure spending absorbing capital at historic scale.
The AI buildout is absorbing capital at a historic scale, creating temporary pressure across global markets. That does not weaken Bitcoin. It strengthens the case for scarce, liquid, digital capital. Bitcoin remains the premier asset for the long term," Saylor said.
Dorman's argument is straightforward. What crashed the market waqs not the amount of BTC sold, which was just 32, worth roughly $2.5 million, but the realization of what that sale implied: that Strategy may need to sell significantly more bitcoin to meet the cash dividend obligations on its preferred shares, including STRC.
In Arca's view, Saylor has made a series of missteps over the past three weeks. He used his only cash to pay off zero-coupon debt, then rattled markets by teasing a $2.5 million bitcoin sale, which is barely enough to cover one month's preferred dividends. Strategy currently has roughly five months of cash flow remaining, Dorman noted, leaving the market to wonder what comes next
Dorman says there is one scenario that could stabilize things quickly. If Saylor announces via 8-K filing that Strategy has raised $2 to $4 billion by selling MSTR stock and bitcoin, enough to cover preferred dividends through September 2028, Dorman believes markets would rally sharply. That buffer would remove the forced-seller overhang and give bitcoin room to breathe.
By week's end though, BTC's selloff became too intense and most assets joined the downtrend.

USDT's dominance rate has flashed a golden crossover in a sign of caution for the broader crypto market.
USDT's dominance rate, which measures its share of the total crypto market cap, is sporting a golden crossover, a technical signal that indicates the dollar-pegged token's allocation may increase in the weeks ahead.
At $186.84 billion, the Tether-issued token trails only bitcoin and ether (ETH) in market cap. It is designed to trade 1:1 against the U.S. dollar and is widely seen as a dollar-equivalent asset, a sort-of tokenized version of the greenback.
That's a negative signal for bitcoin because it implies crypto market participants are shifting their funds into a token whose value doesn't fluctuate against the dollar, rather than piling into riskier investments.
Its dominance rate tends to rise when the price of bitcoin falls, reflecting capital rotation out of more speculative investments into dollar equivalents, a classic risk-off move, much like in traditional finance.
Last week offered a clear glimpse of that dynamic. USDT's dominance rate surged 13.5% to 9%, the biggest single-day jump since March 2025, as the bitcoin price fell almost 14%, briefly dipping below $60,000.
The golden cross, in which the 50-week moving average overtakes the 200-week average, suggests this rotation may not be over because it's a sign that momentum in USDT's share of market cap is becoming more bullish.
In other words, risk aversion across the broader crypto market could deepen, driving continued capital flows into USDT
It is worth noting that the capital sitting in the stablecoin may not simply be waiting for the right moment to re-enter the market. Investors may convert their holdings to fiat and leave the crypto market altogether.
That appears to be what happened last week. While USDT's dominance rose sharply, its market cap fell for a third consecutive week. That combination suggests a meaningful portion of the capital did not stay there. More likely, it left the crypto market entirely.
The golden cross arrives alongside bitcoin's worst weekly performance in months, persistent outflows from spot U.S. exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and growing competition from AI stocks for institutional capital.
Until USDT's dominance starts reversing, signaling capital rotating back into risk assets, the path of least resistance for bitcoin and the broader market may remain to the downside.

The decentralized identity project said attackers compromised the keys of a foundation member and are dumping the stolen H tokens for ether.
The thief has been selling the stolen H for ether and minted another 100 million H, worth roughly $11 million, on the BNB Chain, blockchain data shows, pointing to more selling pressure ahead.
Humanity confirmed the breach, with founder Terence Kwok saying attackers had compromised the private keys, the secret codes that control crypto wallets, of a member of the Humanity Foundation.
The project urged users to stop touching its bridge, the tool that moves tokens between blockchains, and its liquidity pools until the issue is contained, and said it was working with security firms and exchange partners.
Humanity Protocol is a decentralized identity project that uses palm-scan biometrics and zero-knowledge cryptography to let people prove they are human without revealing personal data, positioning itself as a rival to Sam Altman's Worldcoin.
The hack fits the dominant pattern of 2026, in which the biggest losses have come from stolen keys rather than flawed code. Solana exchange Drift lost about $285 million in April after attackers seized an administrative key, and Kelp DAO lost roughly $292 million the same month through a single-validator bridge.
H last traded around $0.13, down about 82% on the day, with the theft still in progress.

Alpenglow upgrade update, Ripple on North Korea hacking threat, Cloudflare on AI agents and web economics
Ripple is now sharing its internal threat intelligence on North Korean hackers with the crypto industry, the company said, in a move that reframes how the sector is responding to a shift in DPRK attack methodology. The Drift hack was not a hack in the way most people think of one. Nobody found a bug or exploited a smart contract. North Korean operatives spent months befriending Drift's contributors, slipped malware onto their machines, and walked off with the keys. By the time the $285 million moved, every system that was supposed to catch a hack had nothing to flag. That is the version of events Ripple and Crypto ISAC, the crypto industry's threat-sharing group, laid out Monday alongside news that Ripple is now sharing its internal data on North Korean threat actors with the rest of the sector. The 2022-24 wave of more DeFi hacks was centred on exploiting code, with attackers finding smart contract vulnerabilities and draining protocols in minutes. But as security gets tighter, the modus operandi shifts from technology to people. Rogue operatives apply for jobs at crypto firms, pass background checks, show up on Zoom calls and build trust for months. Then they deploy attacks that no traditional security tool was built to catch, because the attacker is already inside. Ripple is now feeding Crypto ISAC the kind of profile data that makes that pattern legible across companies.
For decades, the web ran on a simple bargain: Publishers and businesses made information freely accessible, search engines and other crawlers indexed it, and those services sent human traffic back. Sites could then monetize that traffic through ads, subscriptions or commerce. But that's all changing fast, Cloudflare Chief Strategy Officer Stephanie Cohen said at CoinDesk’s Consensus conference in Miami. With the rise of AI agents, software can scrape a webpage, summarize content and keep the source user inside a chatbot or automated workflow instead of sending a person back to the original site. Cohen said that shift is breaking the internet’s old business model, with non-human traffic now exceeding human engagement. Cloudflare’s proposed answer is to give websites more control over automated traffic: identify the bots, verify who they are, understand what they intend to do and decide whether to allow, block or charge them. Cohen pointed to x402, an open payments protocol built around the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code, as one piece of that stack
