Hyperbridge exploit on Polkadot triggers $240K loss after admin takeover.



A security breach involving Hyperbridge, a cross-chain bridge that facilitates transfers of Polkadot’s DOT token to Ethereum, sent shockwaves through the market on Monday, the 13th of April.

On-chain data and early reports showed that the attacker exploited a vulnerability in Hyperbridge’s Ethereum gateway contract.

The exploit involved forging a cross-chain message through the protocol’s Interoperable State Machine Protocol (ISMP), allowing the attacker to bypass state-proof verification within the smart contract. This breach ultimately granted unauthorized administrative control over the bridged DOT token contract on

Bitcoin Bulls Face Crucial Test as Price Hovers Above Key Support

Bitcoin bulls are currently in a precarious position, having pushed the cryptocurrency back above $73,000 after a period of bearish pressure. However, this upward momentum has slowed, with bears attempting to retest the $70,000 mark over the weekend. The critical question now is whether bulls can maintain control, as a failure to hold a specific support level could lead to a significant price drop.

According to crypto analyst Max Trades, Bitcoin's immediate future hinges on holding the $70,500 level. This point has served as major support since the current uptrend began, making it a vital line in the sand for bulls. Should the price fall below this threshold, it would significantly weaken the bullish structure that has emerged over the past week.

Adding to the bearish pressure is an unfilled CME gap located below $67,000. This gap acts as a magnet for price, suggesting that a breach of the $70,500 support could trigger a move towards this gap, potentially reaching $66,000. However, even this level might not mark the ultimate bottom, as further price drops could occur to gather liquidity from larger market players, with significant liquidity pools identified below $65,000.

Despite these potential downside risks, the analyst notes that Bitcoin is not yet definitively bearish. The price remains within a range, and as long as it stays above the key support level of $70,500, it's likely to continue trading based on liquidity dynamics, with price movements driven by the pursuit of buy and sell orders on both sides of the market.

XRP Beats BTC and ETH in ETF Flows, Shiba Inu Extends Price Rally, Cardano Founder Takes Jab at XRP, Ripple CTO Emeritus Says No One Holds Satoshi’s Keys — Top Weekly Crypto News


$XRP beats Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Dogecoin in 24-hour ETF flows

$XRP is beating assets from the Big Three and even smaller meme coins in ETF flows.

$XRP has surprisingly surpassed Bitcoin, Ethereum and other significant assets in daily ETF inflows. The data shows that $XRP-linked products saw net inflows of about $3.3 million, while Bitcoin ETFs experienced a significant outflow of $159 million, and Ethereum products saw outflows of $64 million.

This appears to be a significant relative victory for $XRP on paper, but the market context is important. First off, $XRP is not taking over as the primary institutional asset. It reflects rotation under pressure more accurately.

Following periods of dominance, Bitcoin and Ethereum are seeing capital outflows, with some of that capital temporarily moving into smaller, more neutral assets like $XRP. $XRP is advantageous because it occupies a middle ground: it is big enough to be liquid, but it is not linked to the same narratives that are currently affecting ETH and $BTC.

Cardano founder criticizes $XRP

The Cardano founder also recently criticized Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse over his support for the CLARITY Act.

Charles Hoskinson, the outspoken founder of Cardano, has reignited his long-standing feud with the $XRP community following a harsh personal attack on social media.

The dispute began when an X (formerly Twitter) user insulted Hoskinson, claiming his personal reputation was hindering Cardano's institutional adoption.

The user contrasted Hoskinson with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, stating, "News flash, your products aren’t hated, you are... Why would large-scale, professional organisations want to pair up with this, the face of the p

FUD in XRP Breaks Record! What Does It Mean for the Price? Analysis Company Explains!

$XRP, one of the most popular altcoins, has fallen more than 60% from its peak during the overall crypto bear market.

This drop in $XRP price has also affected investor sentiment, with social fear surrounding $XRP reaching its third highest level in the last two years.

Cryptocurrency analysis platform Santiment, in its analysis from account X, stated that the FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) indicator surrounding $XRP has reached its third highest level in the last two years.

At this point, Santiment noted that by looking at historical patterns, the possibility of a short-term rebound in $XRP has emerged as market pessimism intensifies.

According to Santiment, historical patterns indicate that when pessimistic outlooks overshadow optimistic sentiments, the prices of the associated cryptocurrencies tend to move contrary to public expectations.

Therefore, increased FUD significantly increases the likelihood of a recovery for $XRP.

In conclusion, Santiment suggests that with retail investors moving away from $XRP after a 63% drop in the last nine months, patient investors could use the bearish market sentiment as an opportunity to catch the bottom. However, it was also noted that the sustainability of the recovery may depend on supply and demand flows, macroeconomic events, and market conditions.

“According to weekly social media data for $XRP, FUD has reached its third highest level in the last two years.”

Historically, the likelihood of a relief rally increases significantly when bullish commentary is replaced by highly bearish commentary.

Prices are moving in the exact opposite direction of what the crowd expected…”

Bitcoin pulls back as ceasefire rally fades amid renewed Hormuz tensions: analysts

Bitcoin gave back part of last week’s ceasefire rally as failed U.S.-Iran talks and blockade threats pushed oil back above $100.

Analysts said the relief trade is unwinding, but crypto’s pullback still looks contained rather than disorderly.

Bitcoin pulled back from nearly $74,000 over the weekend as the Middle East ceasefire bounce began to fade.

Analysts opined that traders were again forced back into the same macro script that has dominated crypto for weeks: oil up, inflation risk up, conviction down.

On April 12, bitcoin BTC+0.14%

 last changed hands around $71,000, The Block’s price page shows. Ether ETH+0.11%

 hovered around $2,190, with the broader crypto market retreating as well.

The pullback came after U.S.-Iran talks broke down and the White House escalated rhetoric around a naval blockade tied to the Strait of Hormuz.
In a Monday note, QCP Capital said markets had hoped for a deal but were positioned for disappointment, noting that BTC hit resistance at $74,000 as crude moved back above $100 and risk appetite weakened.

The firm added that the market is now trading "execution, not headlines," with credibility around any blockade enforcement becoming part of the trade itself.

Notably, some analysts said the latest pullback has not yet turned into panic.

Nexo analysts argued that the "ceasefire-driven relief trade" is unwinding, but added that forced selling has stayed relatively contained. They pointed to nearly $1 billion in spot bitcoin ETF inflows last week and said liquidation activity remains well below first-quarter norms, suggesting the market has absorbed the weekend shock better than it would have earlier in the year.

Why Iran Wants to Use Bitcoin for Safe Passage through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial maritime transit point for oil. Last week, the Financial Times reported that Iran intends to charge a toll for passage, and Bitcoin was named the preferred currency. This unexpected turn of events has been predicted by Bitcoin enthusiasts for over a decade.

On April 8, the Financial Times published an article titled "Iran Demands Cryptocurrency Fees for Ships Passing Through Strait of Hormuz During Ceasefire," but the article was not about cryptocurrency, but about Bitcoin. The article covered developments during the current two-week ceasefire in the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran, specifically regarding the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil tankers passed before the war, supplying Europe, Asia, and much of the world.  The article claimed that Iran intended to charge a toll for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, a key geographic chokepoint controlled by Iran using long-range missiles, underwater mines, and attack drones.
The report included an interview with Hamid Hosseini, a representative of the Iranian Union of Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Exporters, who told the Financial Times that oil vessels must provide Iran with reserve data and pay $1 per barrel of oil in Bitcoin to gain safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz: "Once the email arrives and Iran completes its assessment, the vessels are given a few seconds to pay in Bitcoin, ensuring they cannot be tracked or confiscated due to sanctions."

The report shocked the Bitcoin community and made international news, as the price of Bitcoin rose from $60,000 to $73,000.  Iran's decision to demand Bitcoin for safe passage instead of dollars, yuan, or gold is a profound recognition of Bitcoin's superiority as money in the mod
