CZ published a post with a powerful reminder! 💎
"If you have ever envied those who bought crypto cheap and held through all cycles — think about what they were doing in moments exactly like now."
The market drop is not the end, but a test of strength. Those who bought at the bottom of 2022 are now in huge profit. And those who panicked and sold — look at the charts with regret.
Today the market is giving a chance again. Weak hands are exiting, strong ones — are accumulating. This is a classic cycle.
Do not envy tomorrow's millionaires. Become one of them today. HODL. 🚀

Ribbon Finance Hack: Hackers Withdraw $2.7 Million through Oracle Vulnerability.
On December 12, 2025, the legacy vaults of the DeFi protocol Ribbon Finance (now part of Aevo) suffered an exploit totaling around $2.7 million. The vulnerability arose after an oracle update on December 6, which allowed anyone to set arbitrary prices for certain assets through a proxy contract.
A hacker created fake option contracts (oTokens) on assets like wstETH, AAVE, and LINK, manipulating prices at completion. This allowed the attacker to establish positions in their favor and withdraw hundreds of ETH, thousands of USDC, and other assets from MarginPool. The funds were distributed across 15 wallets.

Ethereum developers discuss ERC-8092, enhancing privacy.
The Ethereum community is actively discussing the new draft standard ERC-8092, proposed in December 2025. It allows the creation of "associated accounts"—secure, verified connections between multiple wallets across different blockchains without full disclosure of the owner's identity.
Two accounts can publicly declare their connection using cryptographic signatures (EIP-712), confirm it, and revoke it at any time. Associations can be stored on-chain for transparency or off-chain for scalability and better privacy. The standard is compatible with various types of wallets, including smart contract and cross-chain.
