🚨 BREAKING

TRUMP'S WHALE JUST OPENED $30.1M $BTC SHORT WITH 40X LEVERAGE

HIS LIQUIDATION PRICE -> $71,941

IF $BTC PUMPS ONLY $650 -> HE WILL GET FULLY WIPED OUT

EITHER HE KNOWS SOMETHING OR LARGE LIQUIDATION SOON!

$285 million was drained in 12 minutes, not because of a bug, but because the system trusted humans more than it should have.

On April 1, 2026, Drift Protocol, the largest perpetual DEX on Solana, was exploited for $285M. The protocol had around $550M in total value locked before the attack, and more than half of that was effectively wiped out in minutes.

The important part is this: nothing was broken at the code level. There was no smart contract bug. The system behaved exactly as designed.

The attackers spent roughly six months building access. They approached contributors in late 2025 posing as a legitimate trading firm, attended real conferences, held technical discussions, and even deployed over $1M into the ecosystem to appear credible. Over time, they gained trust and introduced malicious tools through shared code repositories and fake applications. This allowed them to compromise the devices of contributors connected to governance.

From there, they targeted the governance layer instead of the code.

Drift used a 2-of-5 multisig with no timelock, meaning any two signers could approve administrative actions instantly. The attackers exploited this by getting signers to approve transactions in advance using a Solana feature called durable nonces, which allows a signed transaction to remain valid indefinitely. These approvals were collected weeks before the exploit and could not be revoked later.

At the same time, the attackers created a fake token called CVT. They minted 750 million tokens, added minimal liquidity, and used wash trading to make it appear like a real $1 asset. The protocol’s oracle system accepted this pricing as valid because there were no strict liquidity or validation checks in place.

When everything was ready, the execution took about 12 minutes.

They used the pre-approved transactions to take control of governance, listed the fake token as collateral, manipulated its price through their own oracle, and raised withdrawal limits to effectively remove all risk controls. Then they deposited the fake collateral and borrowed real assets against it across multiple vaults.

A total of 31 transactions drained around $285 million in assets including USDC, ETH, SOL-based tokens, and others.

Within hours, the funds were moved across chains. The attackers swapped assets to USDC, bridged over $200M to Ethereum through more than 100 transactions, converted it into roughly 129,000 ETH, and split the funds across multiple wallets.

The attack was linked to the Lazarus Group, which has stolen over $6B from crypto ecosystems in recent years.

This was not a failure of blockchain technology. It was a failure of governance design, human trust.

It was a combination of:

• Long-term social engineering
• Pre-approved governance access
• Fake collateral that passed system checks
• Immediate execution with no delay safeguards

🚨MASSIVE: Ripple has to restructure because of the Clarity Act’s 20% cap—41 billion XRP tokens need to be redistributed.

If $XRP is labeled “mature,” the company must also sell off over 14 billion XRP.

Experts say this supply change could permanently affect XRP’s price.📈

🚨Rumor Or Trumor?! BlackRock keeps the party going to end the week🚨

There are words being spoken that BlackRock will announce their XRP ETF tomorrow.

The fact that they were suppose to go first and now are last, makes a lot of sense to me. Had they went first, the others wouldn’t have been able to position themselves.

For example, WisdomTree withdrew their S-1 for a spot XRP ETF back in January. Were they expecting BlackRock to throw their hat in by the end of Q1?! 🤷

It does fall in place with the different narratives that we are currently working with:
1) This being a big week
2) Help BR with their liquidity issues
3) I ❤️ Thursdays
4) Late Q1/Early Q2
5) Same time as Clarity Act
6) Bullish pennant
7) Ripple ex employee & current BlackRock employee Robert Mitchnick recently came out with a post saying the financial institutions are only interested in BTC & ETH 🤔…was he trying to shake everyone out so BR can come in and scoop them up?!

🚨 RIPPLE TESTS STABLECOIN WITH SINGAPORE'S CENTRAL BANK

Ripple is piloting its RLUSD stablecoin inside Singapore’s central bank sandbox to power real-world trade finance payments.

The system aims to automate cross-border payments by triggering transactions once trade conditions like shipment verification are met, cutting out slow, manual banking processes.

[X Finance Bull @Xfinancebull]

LISTEN! 🚨 $XRP holders, do you understand the position you're in?

BNY Mellon. Oldest bank in America. Over $50 trillion in assets under custody. Already integrated with Ripple as the primary custodian for $RLUSD.

Already onboarding Ripple Prime for tokenized deposits.
Their CEO Robin Vince just said the future of crypto runs through big banks.

He's not guessing. He's talking about what his own bank is doing. With Ripple.

The bank that holds the reserves for Ripple's stablecoin is publicly saying they're the bridge between crypto and traditional finance.

That's not a rumor. That's a CEO going on record.

When the people building the infrastructure tell you where it's going, believe them.

Your move.

Patrick Bet-David just stepped into #XRP, and he’s talking triple digits if a SWIFT connection materializes.

This isn’t hype-chasing behavior. PBD bets on outcomes that feel unavoidable.

He’s moving early on the SWIFT angle well before the crowd wakes up. $XRP

Patrick Bet-David just revealed he bought XRP — and his target is $100 if it integrates with SWIFT.

PBD doesn't chase pumps. He buys inevitabilities.

He's positioning for SWIFT integration before the mainstream figures it out. $XRP

🚨BREAKING:

SEC IS LOOKING INTO WHETHER BINANCE FUTURES MAY HAVE SET OFF A LIQUIDATION CASCADE ON OCT 10, 2025

[Jungle Inc | Markets & Future Systems @jungleincxrp]

Ripple | XRP | Epstein | Gates | a16Z

These leaked emails from April 2013 show the exact moment Ripple hit the radar of the world’s most powerful people: including Bill Gates and his inner circle.

Here is why this is a "must-read" for anyone following the Ripple ecosystem:

1. The "Smart Money" Pivot Just 48 hours after a16z announced their investment in Ripple (then OpenCoin), Microsoft exec Tren Griffin was briefing Bill Gates on it. While they dismissed Bitcoin as a "Keynesian beauty contest" and a speculative bubble, they were immediately intrigued by Ripple’s potential as a "math-based payment mechanism."

2. Utility vs. Speculation (The 13-Year War) Even in 2013, the narrative was the same. The elites didn't want a "store of value" based on mass psychology; they wanted a tool to move money with "unfair advantages." They saw Ripple as the professional infrastructure for global finance while BTC was still being called a "Ponzi scheme" by their peers.

3. The Inner Circle Forward The trail of this email is wild. It went from Griffin to Gates, then to Boris Nikolic, who forwarded it to Jeffrey Epstein just two days after the a16z round. It shows how quickly the "global elite" were trying to front-run the utility of the XRP Ledger.

4. The "Ripple Wine" Joke A bit of levity: Tren Griffin joked about "drinking Ripple in high school" (the cheap wine). Little did they know that the "Ripple" they were discussing would become the backbone of the future financial system.

The takeaway? The institutional focus on Ripple has always been about its utility as a payment rail, not just a coin.

We are watching a plan over a decade in the making finally reach its endgame.
