Now the Greatest Regret Is to My Family: Crypto Experts Took a Stumble in the Stock Market

Summary: This article examines the significant losses recently suffered by cryptocurrency traders and influencers who ventured into the stock market, specifically by heavily investing in AI-related and semiconductor storage stocks. The narrative centers on the dramatic reversal in the Korean and US equity markets in late July, with stocks like SK Hynix and related leveraged ETFs experiencing historic plunges, erasing massive gains. The analysis highlights several key factors behind the "flip." Traders, accustomed to crypto's high volatility and frustrated by a stagnant market, chased the apparent momentum in AI-themed equities. Many made fatal mistakes: applying high-leverage strategies common in crypto (e.g., 2x ETFs, on-chain perpetual contracts) to stocks, and failing to understand the distinct rules of different stock markets (like Korean pre-market trading). This led to widespread liquidations, especially when a thin Korean pre-market trade triggered a cascading flash crash on a decentralized exchange. Post-crash reflections from prominent figures reveal deep regret and self-criticism. They acknowledge misjudging their expertise, overestimating their edge against sophisticated institutional players, and the dangers of leverage. The article concludes that while such setbacks are part of trading, surviving long-term requires recognizing one's limitations and the inherent risks of cross-market strategies.

Hedge fund with $1.1B in Bitcoin miner stocks seeks capital after AI sell-off: FT

Hedge fund Situational Awareness, founded by ex-OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, is seeking new capital after heavy losses from an AI stock sell-off in July. The fund, which reportedly managed around $20 billion in assets, saw gains of 439% through June, but leveraged bets led to significant losses when AI stocks fell. Aschenbrenner argued the sell-off created new investment opportunities. The fund holds major positions in Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI, with a March SEC filing showing about $1.11 billion across stocks like IREN, Core Scientific, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark. The fund was launched alongside Aschenbrenner's essays predicting artificial general intelligence surpassing college graduates by 2030.

Triple-A confirms treasury-wallet breach after losses reach $11.8M

Stablecoin payments firm Triple-A confirmed a breach of its treasury wallets, resulting in the loss of company-owned digital assets. The Singapore-based company detected the unauthorized access, secured its infrastructure, and temporarily placed some services in maintenance mode. It stated client funds were unaffected as they are held separately in trust accounts. While Triple-A did not disclose the loss amount, onchain investigator Specter estimated it at approximately $11.8 million. The company will absorb the financial impact from its treasury reserves and has restored all services. It is now working with cybersecurity specialists, blockchain forensics firms, and authorities like the Singapore Police Force to investigate and trace the assets.

SpaceX Shares Predicted to Recover No Earlier Than Early 2027

Analysts predict that a significant recovery in SpaceX's share price is unlikely before early 2027, when the current insider lock-up period is scheduled to end. Recently, shares have traded in a narrow range around $118-$124, still 48% below their 52-week high of $225.64. The short-term outlook depends heavily on potential insider selling, especially with the 52-week low of $110.85 acting as a floor. SpaceX's market capitalization stands at $1.56 trillion, but the company is not yet profitable, as evidenced by a $4.9 billion net loss in 2025 and an additional $4.28 billion loss in Q1 2026, attributed to heavy investments in Starship and AI infrastructure. The stock is currently trading at over 84 times trailing revenue, a valuation analysts say depends on a substantial future increase in Starlink's cash flow. The unlocking of 911.5 million shares worth ~$116 billion on August 6, 2026, followed by a phased release schedule, adds significant uncertainty. Quarterly results on August 4, 2026, could provide a short-term catalyst if Starlink performs strongly or Starship milestones are met. Wall Street analyst consensus for a 12-month price target is around $240, but individual forecasts vary widely from $63 to $800, reflecting deep divisions over the company's recovery prospects and future valuation. Key ratings include Morgan Stanley's $300 target and Oppenheimer's more modest $190 target.

Triple-A Hack Losses Rise to $11.8 Million

Triple-A payment service hack losses have grown to $11.8 million, with funds stolen from hot wallets across multiple chains including Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. The hacker consolidated the assets into a single Ethereum address. Triple-A confirmed the breach, stating customer funds were unaffected as they are held with third-party custodians, and the loss will be covered by reserves. Separately, the WEMIX project suffered a $724,000 hack where an attacker minted unauthorized stablecoins. The team has identified wallets and requested exchanges freeze assets. Simultaneously, Blockaid reported a ~$450,000 USDT exploit targeting the cross-chain protocol Garden Finance via an off-chain database breach of an independent solver. The protocol's smart contracts were not compromised. These incidents follow other recent security breaches, highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities in the crypto space.

Losses from Hacks of Crypto Projects Exceed $1.3 Billion

According to a report by Onchain Lens, crypto project losses from hacks have exceeded $1.3 billion this year. The primary cause of damage was the compromise of access control mechanisms, where attackers obtained privileged rights or critical credentials. The biggest losers were Kelp DAO ($292M), Drift Protocol ($280M), Humanity Protocol ($31M), Step Finance ($30M), and Truebit ($26.5M). The second largest cause of loss was phishing and social engineering attacks, accounting for approximately $282 million. Attacks on oracles—services that feed external data into blockchains—also caused significant damage, with Ostium losing $24M, Blend Protocol $10.86M, and Bonzo $9M. The data indicates that the total damage stems from a limited number of highly effective attacks, rather than hundreds of small incidents. A shift in threat patterns is noted, with multi-million dollar losses increasingly resulting from compromised keys and access permissions rather than smart contract bugs. Security experts emphasize that the human factor remains a major industry risk, as phishing and social engineering remain as profitable as technical attacks. In a related incident, Blockaid reported a $24.15 million hack of the AFX Trade decentralized exchange's cross-chain bridge.

92.9% of crypto tokens launched since 2024 trade below TGE price: CryptoRank

A recent analysis by CryptoRank reveals that 92.9% of cryptocurrency tokens launched since 2024 and with a market capitalization exceeding $100 million are now trading below their initial Token Generation Event (TGE) price. The study, examining 113 projects, found only eight—or 7.1%—remain profitable, with the median return across the dataset being a stark -95.7%. Top performers include Hyperliquid (HYPE), which gained 1,519%, followed by Ondo Finance (ONDO), EverValue Coin (EVA), and Midnight Network (NIGHT). The findings indicate a market that has become highly selective, with capital concentrating on a small number of projects demonstrating real utility, adoption, or ecosystem growth. This contrasts with previous cycles where new tokens often saw sustained rallies. Investors are now scrutinizing factors like tokenomics, circulating supply, and unlock schedules more closely. This trend may influence future token launches, prompting projects to prioritize sustainable distribution models and long-term growth over aggressive initial valuations, as high fully diluted valuations (FDVs) and large future token unlocks often lead to significant price pressure.

Bought Bitcoin at $117,000, Sold at $62,000 in Tears: This Company’s Faith Only Lasted a Year

Wall Street's once-hot trend of corporate "Bitcoin hoarding" has hit a painful reality check. Empery Digital, formerly an electric motorcycle company, pivoted to Bitcoin in July 2025, accumulating over 4,000 BTC at an average cost of approximately $117,600 each. As Bitcoin's price plummeted, the company faced massive paper losses exceeding its total market value by early 2026, triggering internal conflict with a major shareholder demanding a sale. In a stark reversal from its earlier refusal to sell, Empery Digital recently sold 1,400 BTC at an average price of $62,000, locking in a significant loss of roughly $77 million on just those coins. The proceeds were used to pay down $10 million in debt, prepare for legal fees related to shareholder lawsuits, and, most notably, fund a new strategic shift: a $65 million investment for a 25% stake in an AI data center facility. This move completes a cycle of chasing market trends—from electric vehicles to Bitcoin treasury and now to AI infrastructure. Empery's case exposes the leveraged nature of the corporate "treasury model," where buying Bitcoin with borrowed money works only while prices rise. Once the asset fell below its cost basis, the company was forced to sell at a loss to service debt and pivot to the next opportunity. The company's remaining assets are 1,514 BTC and its ambitions in AI, demonstrating that its stated "long-term belief" in Bitcoin had a clear price tag: a 50% discount.

Recent Bitcoin buyers panic-sell amid $90M capitulation: $66K is BTC’s last stand

Recent Bitcoin buyers are panic-selling at a loss, with $90 million in realized losses indicating capitulation among those who bought between $75,000 and $126,000. This selling pressure is transferring coins to stronger hands. However, new demand is emerging, forming a support base between $62,000 and $65,000. The key level for confirming a sustained recovery is $66,000; a break above this could signal continued upside momentum, while failure may revive selling pressure. Although seller exhaustion is rising and demand is improving, stronger spot buying is still needed to validate a trend reversal.

Prices From the Future Fool the Oracle, Ostium Drained of $24 Million in Five Minutes

Ostium, a perpetual trading platform, suffered a security incident on July 15, resulting in significant losses from its public liquidity vault. Initial analyses from Blockaid, Cyvers, and PeckShield estimate losses of up to $24 million. The exploit occurred over a five-minute window. According to security firms, the core issue was not a missing signature, but a data integrity failure: a registered price oracle (PriceUpKeep) submitted authorized price reports with manipulated future timestamps, creating false trading profits. The protocol’s verification process confirmed the signatures as authorized but did not enforce price sanity checks or timestamp boundaries, allowing the manipulated data to be accepted for settlement. This caused the liquidity vault to pay out on these fraudulent profits. Ostium’s co-founder confirmed the team paused trading within an hour and is collaborating with law enforcement and security experts. The extracted funds were reportedly swapped for ETH, with a portion moved to Tornado Cash. The incident highlights risks in DeFi oracle designs where cryptographic signature verification is insufficient without additional safeguards for data validity, timestamp freshness, and price reasonableness. Ostium's response and planned fixes—including stricter timestamp validation, independent price checks, and circuit breakers—will be critical to preventing similar exploits.
