APRO just pushed something important live on Ethereum.
Oracle as aService is now available, and the angle here is simplicity.
No nodes to run. No custom infra. No messy data pipelines.
Builders can now plug straight into verified, multi source data feeds on demand.
What this unlocks: • Reliable oracle data for prediction markets • Real world and crypto event feeds • AI-enhanced handling of structured and unstructured data • Simple API access via x402 subscriptions • Built-in attestation and auditability across chains
Use cases are broad: sports, finance, elections, weather, and any app that needs trustworthy external data.
The bigger shift is what this means for developers.
Oracles stop being a heavy lift and become a product. Faster builds, fewer assumptions, and stronger data guarantees.
This is the kind of infra that quietly enables the next wave of onchain applications without the usual friction. $AT #AT @APRO Oracle @APRO-Oracle
- the CEO Gerald Cotten dies in India at 30 - the exchange says he was the only person with the keys - 215M CAD becomes unreachable - around 76,000 users are stuck
at first, the story was simple
cold wallets exist, but nobody can open them
then the OSC report in 2020 changes everything
- it was not a hack - it was a long fraud - 169M CAD missing - 115M tied to fake trading using fake accounts and fake balances - wallets were already empty since April 2018, months before his death
so the key problem was never the real problem, there were no coins left to unlock
And the death details are messy
- no autopsy in India - closed casket in Canada - his last name misspelled on the death certificate
December 2022
- 104 $BTC moves - four years after Cotten’s death - those BTC came from five cold wallet addresses EY had sent to by mistake in February 2019 - EY says they did not move the funds - a big part was sent into a Wasabi CoinJoin flow
someone had access, just not the public, and not the victims
There’s still Ethereum sitting there
a labeled Quadriga wallet is still holding:
- 67,317 ETH - around 201M dollars at recent prices - mostly untouched - small dust activity this year
the blockchain remembers everything
but this story still has a hole in the middle that never closed
Trust Wallet Security Incident What Actually Happened
There was a confirmed security incident involving Trust Wallet, with reported losses exceeding $7M. Important context: this was not a blockchain exploit and not a mass drain of all Trust Wallet users.
A key update: CZ confirmed that affected users will be compensated, which materially reduces the impact for those involved.
What we know so far
The issue is linked specifically to Trust Wallet browser extension v2.68
Mobile only users were not affected
Other extension versions were not impacted
v2.69 is the patched release
What to do now
If you used extension v2.68, disable it and update to v2.69 immediately
If that wallet ever held significant funds, consider moving to a fresh wallet
If you only use the mobile app, no action is required
Important clarification This isn’t an argument against software wallets. It’s a reminder that browser extensions carry higher risk for long-term storage.
Better practice:
Extensions → daily use, small balances
Long term holdings → mobile wallet used sparingly or hardware wallet
Don’t rush decisions out of fear
Never enter seed phrases anywhere
Initial headlines were alarming, but the details matter. This was a contained incident, not a system-wide failure.
There was a confirmed security incident related to Trust Wallet.
Users reportedly lost $7M+ worth of crypto, but context matters.
This was not a blockchain hack and not a mass drain of all Trust Wallet users.
Important update: Changpeng Zhao (CZ) posted on X confirming that impacted Trust Wallet users will be covered for losses. That significantly reduces downside risk for affected users.
What we know so far:
• Losses are linked to the browser extension version 2.68 • Mobile-only users are NOT affected • Other extension versions are NOT affected • Version 2.69 is the patched update
What to do if you use Trust Wallet:
✅ If you used the browser extension 2.68 → disable it and update to 2.69 immediately ✅ If that wallet ever held meaningful funds → consider moving to a fresh wallet ✅ If you only use the mobile app → no action needed
Important clarification:
This doesn’t mean “never use software wallets.” It means browser extensions are higher risk for long-term storage.
Better practice: • Extensions → daily use, small balances • Long-term holdings → mobile wallet used rarely or hardware wallet • Never rush moves out of fear • Never paste seed phrases anywhere
When I first saw this news, my energy dropped and my heart started racing too. After reading the details and CZ’s confirmation it’s clear this is a scoped incident, not a system-wide failure.
Stay calm. Protect your keys. Fear spreads faster than facts.
In 2025 an estimated $2 billion in crypto was lost
In 2025 an estimated $2 billion in crypto was lost to a single coordinated actor This was not one breach It was a sustained campaign operating quietly across the ecosystem
This is not a claim about the end of crypto It is a record of how the attacks unfolded and why the timing matters
A year long campaign
Security reports and incident disclosures indicate that state linked North Korean operators carried out repeated intrusions throughout 2025
The activity is widely attributed to Lazarus Group
The methods were consistent Phishing malware supply chain compromise and social engineering
No single failure explains the losses The pattern suggests persistence rather than opportunism
Where the funds went
Onchain analysis shows the stolen assets did not sit idle
They moved through • Mixers • Cross chain bridges • Peel chains and intermediary wallets
These routes complicated attribution and reduced the effectiveness of sanctions
The goal was not speed It was survivability inside the financial system
A longer timeline
The $2 billion figure from 2025 fits into a broader historical pattern
Public estimates suggest more than $6 billion in crypto linked to North Korean operations over the past decade
Earlier incidents followed similar mechanics Initial compromise Delayed movement Gradual laundering
Each cycle improved operational discipline
Why this matters beyond crypto
This is no longer only a security issue for exchanges or protocols
It raises structural questions When digital assets can be moved at scale across borders When sanctions can be diluted by protocol design When infrastructure failures carry geopolitical consequences Weak security becomes a national exposure Financial tools become strategic assets What remains unresolved There is no single protocol flaw that explains this There is no evidence crypto itself caused the activity
What remains unclear is how global coordination adapts Whether enforcement can keep pace And how much of this activity is still undiscovered
The numbers are known The full scope may not be #USGDPUpdate
BTC/USD1 crashed to 24k Look so here’s why that might’ve happened 👇
BTC didn’t actually crash. It was a low-liquidity glitch on the BTC/USD1 pair only.
What caused it: • Very thin order book • One or more large market orders • Stop-losses and liquidations triggering instantly • Bots amplifying the move
Once liquidity disappeared, price wicked hard for seconds, then snapped back.
This wasn’t a real market dump. BTC on major pairs (USDT, USDC, Perps) never moved like that.
Who got hit? • High leverage traders • Tight stop-loss users • Anyone trading low-liquidity pairs
Who benefited? • Arbitrage bots • Fast traders
Lesson: Low liquidity + leverage = danger Not every “crash” is real
Always check the pair before panicking. $BTC $USD1
Lower than levels seen during the 2022 to 2023 bear market
The last comparable period was February 2024
At that time sentiment was similar Participation was thin Prices were compressed Most traders had written the sector off
Shortly after that point Several large memecoins saw outsized moves Not because fundamentals changed But because positioning and attention were already exhausted
The current setup
Today many major memecoins are down between 80 and 99 percent from highs
Liquidity is thin Volumes are muted Public interest is low
The prevailing narrative is exhaustion That the sector has already played out
This mirrors earlier cycle behavior
What matters here
This is not a claim that a rally is guaranteed And it is not a call to buy
Historically Extreme pessimism in a crowded retail sector Often coincides with low positioning
When capital rotates It tends to move where expectations are already minimal
The open question
If memecoins are considered finished Who is still positioned to sell
And if no one is paying attention What happens when attention returns even briefly $DOGE $SHIB
