Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Ethereum is trying to hold above $2,300 as the market navigates another stretch of volatility and uncertainty. The price action remains hesitant, caught between buyers looking for a reason to commit and sellers who have defined this cycle’s derivatives landscape more aggressively than almost any previous period. But according to top analyst Darkfost, something in that landscape just changed — and the shift is significant enough to deserve attention. Throughout this entire cycle, Ethereum’s derivatives markets have been unusually hostile to bulls. Net taker volume — the…
The Kelp DAO and LayerZero bridge exploit that occurred over the weekend has left lending protocol Aave facing potential losses of up to $230 million, depending on how the situation is resolved.The incident, according to a report from Aave Labs and service provider LlamaRisk published on the Aave governance forum, centers on rsETH, a liquid restaking token issued by KelpDAO. To move rsETH between blockchains, the protocol relies on a bridge mechanism that locks tokens on one chain while issuing corresponding copies on another.An attacker exploited that setup by forging a transfer message that appeared valid. The system approved the…

Alcoa is in talks to sell its idle Massena East aluminum smelter in upstate New York to bitcoin mining firm NYDIG, according to comments from Alcoa chief executive Bill Oplinger in a Bloomberg interview. The Massena East site sits along the St. Lawrence River and has been out of operation since 2014. The closure followed sustained pressure from high energy costs and global competition that reduced domestic aluminum production. The facility spans about 1,300 acres and contains heavy electrical infrastructure built for continuous industrial use. Alcoa is pursuing a broader plan to divest a group of idle US smelter assets.…
John Oliver, host of HBO’s Last Week Tonight, targeted prediction market platforms on his show’s latest weekly deep dive.In Sunday’s airing of the HBO show, Oliver discussed some of the trivial event contracts on platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, including betting whether members of the Trump administration would use certain words in public addresses, to the companies’ controversial partnering with news organizations. Specifically, the host questioned Donald Trump Jr.’s relationship with both platforms — an adviser to Kalshi and Polymarket — and how the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) “doesn’t even seem to be trying” to block event contracts…
Less than three weeks after North Korea-linked hackers used social engineering to hit crypto trading firm Drift, hackers tied to the nation appear to have pulled off another major exploit with Kelp.The attack on Kelp, a restaking protocol tied into LayerZero’s cross-chain infrastructure, suggests an evolution in how North Korea-linked hackers operate, not just looking for bugs or stolen credentials, but exploiting the basic assumptions built into decentralized systems.Taken together, the two incidents point to something more organized than a string of one-off hacks, as North Korea continues to escalate its efforts to hijack funds from the crypto sector.“This is…

Bitcoin price traded above $76,500 today, holding onto recent gains despite rising geopolitical tension. Bitcoin fell back toward $75,000 into the weekly close and over the weekend as renewed tension between the United States and Iran rattled markets and refocused attention on oil prices. The pullback followed a failed breakout above $78,000, which had marked Bitcoin’s highest level in ten weeks. The move higher came after a brief easing in geopolitical risk, when Iran signaled the Strait of Hormuz was open. That shift sent crude lower and lifted risk assets, including crypto. The rally reversed once reports emerged that the…
