Sui Network's activity is ripping!
According to @MSBIntel data, @SuiNetwork's 7-day average active addresses has surged by nearly +171% in the past week...
... with an average of close to 168,000 active addresses per day.
Despite hype surrounding new entrants to the blockchain industry, and growing attention around memecoins, one thing is for certain.
$SUI Network ain't going anywhere anytime soon.
Verus Bridge Hit Again in $7.5M Hack
A fresh exploit has drained about $7.54 million from the Verus Ethereum Bridge, Blockaid reports.
The attacker stole $ETH, tBTC, $USDC, USDT, EURC, MKR, and scrvUSD from bridge reserves.
While the exploit mirrors the previous May, 2026 attack, Blockaid says it involved a different attacker and loot wallet.
Yesterday we unstaked a large slug of HYPE. We did not unstake to sell.
This is why privacy matters. Our funds are constantly tracked, forcing regular wallet rotations. Institutions need privacy to operate. This is why we’re long $ZAMA and $ZEC. Zama unlocks private defi, Zcash is the leading private store of value chain.
As capital markets continue to move onchain, privacy is paramount.
Today, we identified a security incident affecting our $B2 token staking service.
The incident involved unauthorized access to the staking contract's upgrade authority.
As a precaution, $B2 staking has been temporarily suspended while we complete additional security reviews. The issue has been contained, and we do not expect any further impact.
Most importantly:
- All affected users will be fully compensated.
- $B2 staking is temporarily suspended. If you wish to unstake your $B2 token, please open tickets on our official Discord https://t.co/M7t5CfIAMR.
After ownership verification, your unstaking request will be processed within 1 business day.
We are working closely with security teams to investigate the incident.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support. We will continue to share updates as our investigation progresses.
Whales have accumulated more than 14 million Chainlink $LINK over the past three weeks.
Large-scale accumulation like this often reflects growing confidence from major holders and is worth keeping an eye on.
Cá voi tiếp tục hút trôi $ZAMA từ Kraken một cách không ngừng nghỉ
Một khối lượng lớn khác là 14,26 triệu đồng xu ($571K) đã được rút ra để lưu trữ lạnh.
Đó là lần clip khổng lồ thứ hai chỉ trong 48 giờ, đưa tổng số tiền của cá voi lên đến 98,18 triệu $ZAMA (khoảng 3,93 triệu USD).
Sự thật nổi bật từ 125 ngày lịch sử trên chuỗi - CHÍNH XÁC LÀ 0 NỢ TIỀN.
Những đồng xu đang trên đường đi một chiều giữa đợt tăng giá 5%. Một giai đoạn tiếp tân của việc hấp thụ nguồn cung hung hăng đang diễn ra!
#PeckShieldAlert@BSquaredNetwork on #BNBChain has been drained of 8.591M $B2 (worth ~$3.86M).
The exploiter swapped the stolen funds for over 5K $WBNB, then swapped them to 1,128 $ETH and bridged out via NEAR Intents. $B2 has dropped -15%.
🚨 $24.15M USDC drained from an Arbitrum bridge — — 5 compromised keys
5 hot-validator signatures carried 7,142/10,000 power (>2/3 quorum). The contract did exactly what it was told — the keys were
the weak point.
Two-phase attack, both traced on-chain:
1⃣ Propose (carries the 5 sigs + full 7-validator set, powers sum to 10,000)
2⃣ 200s dispute window → Execute (releases 24.15M USDC, bridged out via CCTP)
Sigs are in the propose tx, not the withdrawal tx 👇

Stolen funds: 0x627654B2782bfC57580ecD11d40869b350B6ebAC now on ETH chain. 12,467.43703738 ETH
There may have been an exploit involving @BSquaredNetwork on BNB Chain.
The attacker drained 8.591M $B2 tokens worth $3.86M, swapped them for 5,409 WBNB ($3.11M), bridged the funds to Ethereum, and is currently moving them to Zcash via NEAR Intents.

MY NEXT BITCOIN BUY WON'T BE AT THE TOP OF THIS RALLY.
Here's The Roadmap I'm Trading.
$BTC can still push into the $71.3K–$74.2K region, where a major Bearish Order Block + Fair Value Gap sits. That's the area I'm watching for a potential rejection, Not buying.
If price confirms rejection from that zone, I believe the next move could send Bitcoin back into the $50K–$40K range.
My plan:
➡️ Rally into $71.3K–$74.2K → Stay patient.
➡️ Rejection confirmation → Prepare for downside.
➡️ $50K–$40K → Start scaling into long-term positions.
Invalidation: A strong daily close above $74.3K changes this entire thesis, and I'll publicly update my view.
🚨 KOREA AND JAPAN JUST REVERSED THEIR ENTIRE PUMP OF THE DAY.
Nikkei fell 2.40% from its day high, wiping out $210 billion.
KOSPI dropped 5.24% from its day high, erasing $250 billion.
$500 billion vanished from both markets' gains in a single session.
INSIGHT: The total crypto market cap fell 12.6% to $2.1T in Q2, with trading down 20.9% QoQ to $93.1B.
April ranked among the year's strongest just months before June's reversal left it ~52% below its October 2025 peak.
