🟠Singapore just ran one of its first large-scale real-time anti-crypto-scam operations together with major exchanges like Coinbase, Gemini, Upbit, Coinhako, and others.
🟠Result: 90 victims identified and warned before scammers could cash out, preventing around $2.86M in losses.
🟠The interesting part isn’t the number — it’s the method. Police worked directly with exchanges using blockchain analytics from TRM Labs and Chainalysis, tracing scam flows in real time.
🟠Victims of investment scams, romance scams, fake government agent schemes, and job scams were contacted by phone and even in person before funds disappeared.
🟠Authorities openly admitted the key factor was fast information sharing between exchanges and law enforcement.
🟠At the same time, Singapore revealed the scale of the problem: crypto-related scam losses in 2025 reached $182M+, with USDT, ETH, and BTC accounting for over 91% of stolen assets.
🟠And here’s the uncomfortable truth: scammers love crypto for the same reason users do — transactions are fast, global, and almost irreversible.
🤑 Crypto is becoming harder to steal quietly. The industry is slowly shifting from “track after the hack” to intervene before the cash-out.
Trump threatened Iran with strikes if Tehran does not sign an agreement. Three US destroyers passed the Strait of Hormuz under fire. Trump said attacks were repelled, Iranian boats destroyed, and destroyers unharmed.
He demanded Tehran quickly sign the deal or face "much harsher strikes." The ceasefire remains and the agreement is still possible. $TRUMP $BZ
🟠Another liquidity infrastructure hit. Market maker and resolver provider TrustedVolumes was exploited on Ethereum, with attackers draining ~$5.9M in assets.
🟠According to Blockaid, the exploit targeted a custom RFQ swap proxy controlled by TrustedVolumes — not the same bug as before, but reportedly linked to the same operator behind the 1inch Fusion V1 incident from March 2025.
🟠That’s the scary part: same actor, new vulnerability.
🟠The exploit is still being analyzed, but this once again exposes a weak layer most users never think about — market-making and routing infrastructure sitting behind DeFi swaps.
🟠People see “swap executed” on the frontend… without realizing how many custom contracts and resolvers are involved underneath.
⚠️ DeFi doesn’t break only at the protocol level — sometimes the danger sits inside the liquidity layer itself. And when routing infrastructure gets compromised, the exploit spreads through the pipes everyone depends on.$WLD
🤓 Price has been pushed back below $80K, but in my view, that alone doesn’t say much yet.
❗️ What really matters now is how the weekly candle closes. The main move will most likely come closer to Sunday, so I’m not expecting anything too aggressive from today alone.
🔽 It looks like longs keep entering positions — and then leaving stop losses behind. New liquidity zones continue forming below.
Unfortunately for the bulls, the market now has more incentive to drag price lower. For now, the $78,800 zone looks like the nearest logical target.
😳 Tether has frozen over $500M in USDT over the past 30 days.
Most of the freezes were on Tron, and it’s another reminder: your stablecoins aren’t always fully yours.
Formally, this is about fighting fraud, sanctions evasion, and crime — but the core reality remains the same: a centralized issuer can freeze assets at any moment.$USDC
😈 Yesterday, we came just short of the 77–78K zone I was watching and immediately got a reaction. At the same time, the move higher still hasn’t fully broken the overall ascending channel structure, although the fact that price is now holding above $80K could be an early sign of further upside potential.
📈 That said, I personally wouldn’t rush to add longs at current levels — a retest of $78K still looks like a very realistic near-term scenario. That would likely be a much more interesting zone to consider building positions.
But it’s important to remember: the market doesn’t always give perfect entries. So a scenario where price simply keeps pushing higher without a proper dip back below $80K wouldn’t surprise me either.
$SOL ⭐️ Claude AI Supply Chain Attack — Devs Targeted
🟠North Korean group Famous Chollima has launched a campaign called PromptMink, shifting the target from users to crypto developers.
🟠The method is clean: attackers publish fake NPM packages disguised as legit tools — like validate-sdk/v2 or solana-launchpad/sdk.
🟠A developer installs it… and unknowingly injects malware into their own project. From there, attackers can steal private keys, funds, and gain full remote access.
🟠The twist: they’re leveraging AI (Claude by Anthropic) to generate convincing code, docs, and structure — making malicious packages look completely legit.
🟠Ecosystems like Solana, Ethereum, and others are exposed, especially where devs rely heavily on open-source tooling.
🟠This campaign has been active since September 2025, and it’s already working. A similar strain, GhostClaw, compromised 178 developers in a single month.
🟠This isn’t phishing. This isn’t a front-end exploit. This is a supply chain attack at the development layer.
🙏 They’re not hacking wallets anymore — they’re hacking the people who build them. If the code is compromised at the source, the exploit happens long before launch.
🟠Another day, another breach — but this one hits deeper. Vercel, a core frontend infrastructure provider, has reportedly confirmed a compromise of its environment.
🟠Entry point looks familiar: attackers hijacked an employee account via a third-party AI service (Context.ai) and extracted sensitive keys.
🟠Now the fallout is spreading. On underground forums, leaked databases, source code, and GitHub tokens are allegedly being offered for up to $2M.
🟠Why this matters: Vercel isn’t just hosting websites — it powers frontends for wallets, DEXs, and dApps across crypto.
🟠If projects stored API keys, RPC endpoints, or service tokens in environment variables without proper protection, attackers could now have access.
🟠This isn’t a simple DNS hijack. This is infrastructure-level exposure — meaning attackers could potentially tamper with app builds or inject drainers directly into interfaces.
🟠Teams across the space are already reacting: auditing deployments, rotating keys, and checking for unauthorized changes.
🔥 Backend exploits steal funds. Frontend exploits steal users. And when infrastructure gets compromised, the entire ecosystem becomes the attack surface.
$NEAR 🔤 SWEAT Exploit Stopped — 65% Supply Almost Gone
🟠A close call for SWEAT on NEAR. An attacker exploited a smart contract bug and minted 13.7B SWEAT ($3.5M) — roughly 65% of total supply.
🟠That’s not a small bug — that’s protocol-level risk. One exploit away from total token collapse.
🟠The response was fast. The team paused the contract immediately and coordinated with MEXC and Rhea Finance, where the attacker was trying to offload funds.
🟠End result: user funds fully restored, system stabilized, operations back to normal.
🟠The team says a full investigation is coming, along with legal action.
💭 Not every exploit ends in disaster — but this was close. One unchecked contract almost rewrote the entire supply. In crypto, sometimes the difference between a hack and a headline is just how fast the team reacts.
$ETH ☠️ DeFi or Bank Mode? Arbitrum Freezes 30,766 ETH
🟠A historic moment on Arbitrum — the Security Council stepped in and froze 30,766 ETH (~$71M) tied to a hacker on Arbitrum One.
🟠But this wasn’t just a “freeze.” They moved the funds to a controlled intermediary wallet. Not a blacklist — an actual transfer.
🟠Now the fate of those funds will be decided through governance voting. In other words, a small group holds the switch… and the keys.
🟠From one angle — this is protection. From another — it looks a lot like bank-style intervention.
🟠The uncomfortable part: if funds can be moved or frozen like this, where exactly is the line between decentralization and control?
🟠Today it’s a hacker’s wallet. Tomorrow… the question becomes broader.
👨💻 DeFi isn’t just code — it’s governance. And when governance can override transactions, you’re not just trusting smart contracts — you’re trusting people behind them.
$BTC 📉 American Bitcoin Boosted Eric Trump's Wealth Amid Retail Losses
American Bitcoin went public on Nasdaq in September 2025 at $13.2 billion. Shares have since dropped 92%. Yet, Eric Trump's net worth rose from $190 million to $280 million without his own investment.
Forbes reports 70% of the company's bitcoins were bought via stock issuance, not mining. The firm acquired equipment backed by 3,090 BTC. Of $525 million spent on coins, losses hit $135 million.
Afterward, Eric Trump called Forbes a "political weapon" and "a disgrace to journalism."
🏦 The market has now digested yesterday’s not-so-optimistic Powell conference, and based on several factors, I still believe upside targets currently look more attractive than downside ones. I’m not calling for longs, but personally, I also wouldn’t be opening shorts from current levels. My base scenario remains a move into the $77–78K zone, where it makes more sense to watch market reaction and potentially build short positions.
A separate factor here is geopolitics. Not long ago, Trump was saying the war in Iran was nearing its end. Today, he’s telling them to beg for mercy. What happens tomorrow is, at this point, almost a rhetorical question.
Elon Musk called OpenAI CEO Sam Altman "Scam Altman" after sharing an exposé from Grok.
Meanwhile, ZachXBT reminded the market about World Network (WLD), which launched a token with only about 1.4% free float, a scheme often compared to FTX practices.
The project collected biometric data from residents of poor countries in exchange for tiny WLD payments.
The "identity verification" idea created a black market for verified accounts. Insiders have been steadily dumping tokens OTC while supply keeps growing. #ElonMuskTwitter
😎 Pre-Fed manipulation is in full swing — the market is pushing higher, and I’m still expecting another move up, roughly toward the $78K zone, where I’ll be watching price action closely. Potentially, this could be a solid area to build a short, but I also wouldn’t rule out a squeeze on people like me followed by a push toward $80K. Especially since, in my view, there’s plenty of liquidity sitting up there.
❗️ I’m not expecting much from the actual rate decision itself, but Powell’s comments afterward could do a much better job of outlining Fed policy for the coming periods.
I’m especially interested in his take on oil and US inflation.$BTC
