Another day, another exploit.
Echo Protocol on Monad got exploited.
The attacker minted 1,000 eBTC out of thin air, deposited 45 eBTC as collateral into Curvance, borrowed 11.3 WBTC against that fake collateral.
Then bridged the WBTC over to Ethereum, swapped it for roughly 385 ETH, and then dumped that into Tornado Cash to cover their tracks.
The hacker is still sitting on 955 eBTC.

.@USTreasury is issuing a temporary 30-day general license to provide the most vulnerable nations with the ability to temporarily access Russian oil currently stranded at sea.
This extension will provide additional flexibility, and we will work with these nations to provide specific licenses as needed. This general license will help stabilize the physical crude market and ensure oil reaches the most energy-vulnerable countries.
It will also help reroute existing supply to countries most in need by reducing China’s ability to stockpile discounted oil.

There are rumors that money changed hands to get @cz_binance his pardon.
He addressed it directly: there was no deal. His lawyers were very clear on that. Getting into more trouble to get out of trouble is not a strategy.
His case had merit. The timing was right. That's his explanation.

Bitwise is aligning with Hyperliquid's community-first model.
They'll devote 10% of $BHYP ETF management fees to holding $HYPE on their balance sheet.
Hyperliquid was built different.
As in, 99% of the blockchain’s revenue is used to buy and burn HYPE. It's a community-first model based on this idea: If the protocol succeeds, the community succeeds.
In that spirit, we’re pleased to announce that Bitwise will be devoting 10% of the Bitwise Hyperliquid ETF ($BHYP) management fee to holding HYPE on the Bitwise balance sheet.*
The Hyperliquid community has known from Day One that, if Hyperliquid becomes one of the most powerful and disruptive forces in finance, those who hold HYPE should play a big part in that.
We’re holding HYPE.

That means costlier mortgages, loans, and everything for Americans.
Foreign lenders are pulling back.

👽@cz_binance didn't write his book for readers first.
He wrote it for himself. As a conversation with himself.
Going through his life history. Figuring out what was important, what was meaningful, and what wasn't.
That clarity came from inside a prison cell.
