In one of the most epic trading episodes of the month, a trader with deep pockets and a wide following across DeFi analytics platforms now appears to be nearly $19 million underwater after having placed a huge leveraged short on $HYPE. Despite this trader’s having made multiple margin top-ups to avoid liquidation, the token’s unceasing rally has turned this bet into a high-stakes and somewhat...
In a breach that some are saying is the most embarrassing and costly breach in crypto history, Coinbase has confirmed a major security incident that has exposed the sensitive data of hundreds of thousands of users. The company’s own contract employees were bribed by the hackers who then demanded a $20 million ransom to delete the information they had stolen. Coinbase’s response? Refuse to pay...
A fresh surge of activity on the blockchain has been capturing the attention of the crypto community, as hackers keep targeting decentralized protocols to wash their stolen gains. In an apparent coordinated effort, they moved 17,778.7 ETH today across THORChain and exchanged it for DAI before you could say “cross-chain platform,” raising new questions about the participation of illicit actors in...
On the 15th anniversary of this legendary moment, we look back at one of the most defining stories in Bitcoin’s history: Paying for pizza with Cryptocurrency: Laszlo Hanyecz and the 10,000 Bitcoin Pizza Purchase.

As the traditional “sell in May” sentiment approaches, Solana has found itself experiencing a rather curious divergence. Prices have dropped slightly, but the network has exploded with activity and development. In just one week, there were over 325,000 new tokens launched on Solana, and significant overall growth in the ecosystem. Prices are, of course, the most notable metric that people pay...

May 22, 2025 – Internet Computer (ICP) has taken a big step toward making interoperability between blockchains a reality and vastly improving the end-user experience. They have indeed built the bridge that many claims cannot be built. Developers can now issue wrapped, on-chain versions of all the major coins: Bitcoin (ckBTC), Ethereum (ckETH), Tether (ckUSDT), and USD Coin (ckUSDC). Said tokens...
May 22, 2025 – The leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Sui blockchain, Cetus, has been hit by what appears to be a major security breach. The breach has drained liquidity from the exchange’s token pairs, triggering a steep fall in the price of $CETUS while sending the Sui ecosystem into a near-panic mode. How bad is it? Well, the exchange’s like-named $CETUS token is down over 90% on the...
Bitcoin hit an all-time price high on May 21, 2025, and this particular price milestone even surprised some traders. Despite the price going to levels not seen before on any exchange, most traders looked on with trepidation and didn’t seem very celebratory at all. Profit taking at this new high was abysmally low compared to what we saw when Bitcoin broke through the $30,000 price level in early...
