WBTC 的推出,是以太坊 DeFi 生态迸射出巨大活力之前的孕育时期中最重要的标志事件之一。

那是 2018 年下半年市场最寒冷之时,BitGo 联合当时尚处襁褓、但已开始显现活力的 DeFi 协议共同推出了 WBTC,通过相对中心化、但是参与方口碑都算不错的方式,将 BTC 资产引入了以太坊生态。

现在情况大变。

简单的说,BitGo 带着 WBTC 走进了孙宇晨的家门:

铸造 WBTC 需要锁定的那些珍贵的比特币,未来多了一个托管服务商——一家来自香港的叫 BiT Global 的公司。

重点是:这家 BiT Global 是 BitGo 和孙宇晨的合资公司。

问题上,BiT Global 靠谱吗?

BigGo 公告说,BiT Global 是香港的「TCSP(信託或公司服務提供者)」持牌公司,看着挺唬人。。。但是,TCSP 牌照有含金量吗。。。

反正我看到的数据是:这个牌照 2018 年推出,截至 2020 年 9 月,发了 7300 多个牌照。。。

你们自己品品吧。

对了,我看到的信息是,BiT Global 是 2023 年 8 月 9 号注册成立的。当月还有一个重要新闻:

BitGo 之前因为未能按时拿出审计报表,被 Galaxy Ditigal 取消了收购协议,打官司又未能胜诉,只好中止自己对 Prime Trust 的收购,并且裁员、减成本、找钱自救,最后在 23 年 8 月宣布融到了 1 亿美元。

BitGo 在 2023 年 8月宣布这比融资的时候,羞答答不公布究竟谁是这一轮的投资人。

后来有消息指出来,新的投资人中,有来自亚洲。现在看,很可能孙哥那个时候,已经染指 BitGo 了。

这只是猜测。BitGo 是中心化托管商,WBTC 是中心化的合成资产。我觉得,BitGo 有责任说明白这些安排,否则……

DeFi Hacked Again for $292 Million, Is Even Aave No Longer Safe?

On April 19, a major DeFi security breach occurred, resulting in the loss of approximately $292 million. The attack targeted Kelp DAO’s rsETH bridge contract built on LayerZero, with 116,500 rsETH stolen. The attacker initiated the exploit using funds from Tornado Cash and manipulated the LayerZero EndpointV2 contract to transfer the assets. Kelp DAO confirmed the incident and temporarily paused rsETH contracts across multiple networks while collaborating with security experts for investigation. Initial analysis suggests the root cause was a compromised private key on the source chain, with the contract secured by only a 1/1 validator set, making it vulnerable to a single malicious transaction. The attacker used the stolen rsETH as collateral on lending platforms—including Aave, Compound, and Euler—to borrow more liquid assets like WETH, accumulating over $236 million in debt. Aave alone accounted for $196 million of this amount. In response, Aave froze its rsETH markets and stated it would explore covering potential bad debt through its Umbrella safety module, which holds around $50 million in WETH. This incident follows another large exploit earlier in April, where Drift Protocol on Solana lost $280 million. The repeated high-value attacks raise concerns about DeFi security, even affecting major protocols like Aave. Users are advised to exercise caution, diversify holdings, and limit exposure to on-chain protocols until more robust security measures are established.
