Criminals exploited a vulnerability in the transaction signing mechanism. According to media reports, the outflow of Etherium cryptocurrency from the exchange amounted to about $ 1.46 billion.
Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit suffered a large-scale hacker attack, as a result of which almost $ 1.5 billion was stolen from its Ethereum cold wallet. This was reported by the company's CEO Ben Zhou.

It turned out that the attackers exploited a vulnerability in the transaction signing mechanism, which allowed them to gain access to a multilateral ETH cold wallet.

As a result, the hackers managed to transfer funds from the cold wallet to the hot one, while the operation was masked. All signatories saw the correct address and real URL, but in fact they signed a change in the logic of the smart contract, which allowed the attacker to gain full control over the wallet.

All Ethereum funds were transferred to an unknown address.

But despite the large-scale losses, Bybit representatives assured that the exchange's other wallets remain safe, and the withdrawal function works unchanged.

Each promising asset ends up in the investment portfolios of individuals or organizations. Those who own the largest volume of a particular asset have a significant impact on its value, carrying out active transactions on the market. By observing the direction of the funds of the largest investors, you can win yourself.
Crypto whales are the largest investors in the field of digital assets. They are owners of a significant number of coins of a particular cryptocurrency. Most often, large volumes of various digital assets are concentrated in their portfolios. Whales can be both individual investors (individuals) and institutional (organizations and funds). For example, only one company MicroStrategy owns over 140,000 BTC. And can really influence the price of Bitcoin by carrying out transactions on the stock market.

Therefore, in order to predict the further price movement (up or down) of a particular coin, it is necessary to monitor the movement of crypto whale assets. This way you can understand their plans and profit from them.

This method is relevant not only for cryptocurrencies. When a whale like Warren Buffett announces that he has opened a position to buy a certain asset, the price of that asset increases.

Onchain Data Shows Libra Meme Coin Investors Lost $251 Million in Pump and Dump Scheme

In the case of VanEck's Ethereum Spot ETF, the fund began trading on the CBOE about two months after the product was listed by the DTCC in May 2024.

The news sent Litecoin's price up 3.4% in the last 24 hours, while the broader market has fallen 0.5%. At the time of writing, the coin is trading at $134.2 with a market cap of $10.1 billion.

XRP ETF
On February 20, the SEC accepted an application to convert the Grayscale XRP Trust into an ETF.

Interested parties have 21 days to comment. The regulator is expected to approve, reject, or extend the review period until October 18.

The agency has previously confirmed several XRP ETF applications from Canary Capital, WisdomTree, Bitwise, CoinShares, and 21Shares.

XRP and LTC Chances
Litecoin could become the third cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and Ethereum to have an ETF launched in the US.

According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, the LTC-ETF will likely be the next fund registered by the Commission.

His colleague James Seyffarth also believes that the LTC-ETF will be approved before the XRP-based instrument, given the ambiguous status of the Ripple asset in the US.

In November 2022, CoinDesk published an article about the opaque exchange of significant funds between FTX and its partner Alameda Research[14]. This led to a sell-off of assets related to FTX and attempts to withdraw funds outside the exchange. Due to the inability to satisfy such requests in late 2022, FTX initiated its voluntary bankruptcy. The company's CEO Sam Benkman-Fried resigned. On the eve, Forbes estimated his fortune at approximately $ 17 billion. Benkman-Fried tried to save FTX, hoping that Binance would buy it, but Binance refused the deal.....

#MileiMemeCoinControversy
Argentina’s stock market has seen a significant dip, following allegations of fraud against the country’s president for endorsing a meme coin.

What Happened: Argentina’s S&P Merval index, which tracks the performance of the country’s largest companies, dropped by over 5% at the opening of markets in Buenos Aires on Monday. The index has since seen a slight recovery but is still 3% lower than its closing value on Friday.

According to the report, the upheaval in Argentina’s markets was sparked when President Javier Milei endorsed a Solana-based token called LIBRA on X on Friday. Milei, in a now-deleted post, claimed that the project aimed to stimulate the Argentine economy by funding local small businesses and startups.

However, following a surge in LIBRA’s market value to over $4 billion, it crashed by nearly 90% within hours of the launch. Blockchain tracking firms warned that a small number of wallets held most of the LIBRA token, a characteristic of a rug pull.

In the crypto industry, rug pulls occur when developers abandon a project after raising funds, cashing out and retaining investor funds.

Kelsier Ventures CEO Hayden Davis, Milei’s advisor on the LIBRA project, admitted in an interview with YouTuber CoffeeZilla that he had withdrawn approximately $100 million from the LIBRA liquidity pool and was in control of the funds.

Davis, however, stated that he had no plans to personally profit from these funds and was awaiting instructions from Milei and the Argentine government on how to proceed.

Following these events, the president’s office has initiated an investigation and denied any prior knowledge of the LIBRA project.

$SOL
Decentralized exchanges (DEX) are quietly revolutionizing the world of cryptocurrency, giving users unprecedented control over their transactions. The future of DEX is just beginning, and having up-to-date information gives a serious advantage.

Leading crypto exchange OKX has presented the "DEX Sector Analytics 2025" - a detailed report dedicated to the development of decentralized exchanges (DEX), which provides answers to many questions. Are memecoins more than just a trend? What is pushing Solana DEX to new records? How will AI agents operate in the on-chain environment? You can read all about this in the exchange's report.

The document examines key issues of liquidity, market structure, as well as the impact of derivatives, artificial intelligence and competition between Solana and Ethereum on the future of decentralized finance.

#sol
Crypto markets fell on Monday as traders booked profits and looked for new catalysts to position themselves as the US celebrated Presidents Day.

Solana (SOL) and XRP fell 4%, leading losses among major cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin (BTC) down 1.1% and BNB BNB Chain down 0.5% in the past 24 hours. Dogecoin (DOGE) lost 3%. Both Cardano’s ADA and Ether (ETH) were up 2% by midday in Europe.

#MileiMemeCoinControversy
Half a world away, digital currency entrepreneur Hayden Davis saw the value of the Libra token, a so-called memecoin he helped launch, begin to surge. Its market value flew past $1 billion, $2 billion, all the way over $4 billion.

When it collapsed, as such tokens often do, Milei’s presidency in Argentina was in crisis mode. Investors like Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy suffered steep losses and dubbed the token “the biggest rug pull of all time” — a reference to the crypto lexicon for a scam. Davis himself, in a later post on social media, acknowledged holding some profits despite the declines.

The events are now the subject of an internal government probe. Prominent members of the crypto world are pointing fingers at each other as Milei tries to recover from a political black eye.

“The Libra saga is a travesty,” said Henry Elder at UTXO Management. “It’s a stark illustration that the current crop of crypto leaders lack any moral compass whatsoever.”

Investors in Buenos Aires took stock of the situation by dumping shares in some of the country’s largest local companies. The benchmark S&P Merval Index saw its biggest one-day drop since July, falling some 5.6% on Monday.

-0.12%

-1.51%

DOGE/USD
-1.78%

SOL/USD
-2.65%

Happycoin.club - Bloomberg market analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas believe that this year the chances of approval for an exchange-traded fund based on Litecoin (LTC) are higher than for other crypto funds. They estimate the likelihood of approval for a DOGE-ETF at 75%, for a SOL-ETF at 79%, and for an XRP-ETF at 65%.

Seyffart and Balchunas argue that the path for Litecoin to receive approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may be the easiest, as the S-1 and 19b-4 forms have already been submitted and confirmed. And the SEC has no complaints regarding the status of the cryptocurrency.

The final deadline for the SEC's decision on ETFs based on Litecoin, Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin is from October 2 to October 18, 2025. However, according to Seyffart, the Litecoin fund may be launched before this time.

The analyst also believes that the Litecoin-based ETF will not generate significant demand from investors.

Analyst criticized Ripple and its token XRP
According to Eric, XRP has no real application, and its use as a 'bridge currency' for transfers is unjustified due to centralization, high volatility, and low liquidity. He also accused the company of market manipulation, using partnerships with banks and political lobbying to increase the token's value.

Moreover, the analyst questioned the transaction volume in RippleNet, noting that $30 billion in total volume since the network's inception is negligible compared to the daily volumes of Tether ($50 billion) and Bitcoin ($40 billion). He also called the Ripple network centralized due to its control by a limited circle of validators

An unknown trader turned 25 SOL ($5,000 at the time) into about $12 million by investing in the CAR memecoin. He increased his deposit by 2,450 times. This was reported by the analytical company Lookonchain.

Experts reported that the trader spent 5 SOL to buy 46.57 million CAR a second after the contract address was published. Just three hours later, the investor sold 22.65 million CAR for 8,395 SOL (about $1.7 million), leaving 23.92 million CAR, which at the time of the Lookonchain announcement was valued at about $10.5 million, and now their value is over $2.8 million.

#AltcoinRevolution2028
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said that the development of quantum computing in the future will make it possible to crack lost Bitcoin wallets. This will make it possible to return the funds in them to circulation. However, according to him, this will not happen in the near future.
At the same time, he emphasized that quantum technologies do not yet pose a serious threat to Bitcoin cryptography.
Lost wallets are more vulnerable to potential hacking, since their owners will not be able to protect their assets, experts say. At the same time, active users will be able to transfer their funds to addresses protected from such attacks when the appropriate technologies become available.

A crypto trader under the pseudonym Crypto Skull noted that the return of Bitcoins from old wallets, including Satoshi Nakamoto's assets, could negatively affect the market. In his opinion, this would "theoretically send us back to the Stone Age."

#TariffHODL
The co-founder of the BitMEX exchange, Arthur Hayes, believes that in the near future the United States, the People's Republic of China and some other countries will actively inject money into the economy. And this will cause a new record increase in the value of cryptocurrencies. According to Hayes, states will issue to reduce the real value of their debt, which will reduce the purchasing power of fiat currencies. In such a situation, investors will be forced to look for alternative ways to preserve their assets, and one of the most attractive options will be bitcoin and gold.

The market is already setting similar expectations. Investments in cryptocurrency projects are gaining record momentum. In particular, the pre-sale of Wall Street Pepe's ($WEPE) has surpassed the $67 million mark as FOMO grows and is approaching a valuation that could be $100 million.
