ZKsync Admin Wallet Hack: $5M in ZK Tokens Stolen

TheCryptoTimesPublicado a 2025-04-15Actualizado a 2025-04-15

An estimated $5 million in ZK tokens were stolen on Tuesday when a hacker accessed an admin wallet that was linked to the ZKsync airdrop.

The tokens were all of the unclaimed assets from the airdrop, and the attacker had time to transfer them before the anomaly was noticed.

In a tweet (X), ZKsync, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain to scale Ethereum with zero-knowledge proofs, reiterated that security is being implemented to mitigate the breach.

ZKsync also said the hack was a contained incident, impacting only the ZK token airdrop contract. It explained that the breach stemmed from a hacked admin key.

Importantly, they assured consumers that the basic ZKsync protocol and the main ZK token smart contract were unaffected, and that all user funds were totally secure.

Following the incident, the price of the ZK token dropped by about 11% in 24 hours. Meanwhile, trading volume jumped by 143%, reaching $87 million, as traders reacted to the sudden news.

ZKsync indicated that their security team has moved quickly to contain the issue and avoid any further problems. An investigation continues, and the team vowed to post a full update in due course.

Ondo, the Leader in RWA Tokenization, is Entering the Perp DEX Arena

Ondo Finance, the dominant player in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization space, is entering the perpetual futures (Perp) DEX arena with the launch of "Ondo Perps." This move signifies a strategic pivot from primarily being an asset issuer to becoming a comprehensive trading infrastructure provider. The platform uniquely focuses on tokenized traditional assets like stocks, indices (e.g., US 500), and commodities (gold, silver, oil), offering up to 20x leverage for 24/7 trading. A key differentiator is its planned multi-asset collateral system, which will allow users to employ tokenized stocks and bonds as margin, enabling sophisticated portfolio hedging and strategies. This approach leverages Ondo's existing strengths—deep institutional relationships, regulatory approvals, and a vast library of tokenized assets—to create a bridge between traditional finance liquidity and decentralized, permissionless trading. By integrating its asset issuance (Ondo Global Markets) with a proprietary trading venue, Ondo aims to complete the RWA financialization loop, transforming tokenized holdings from passive investments into productive capital for leverage and complex financial engineering. The launch positions Ondo Perps not just as another derivatives exchange, but as a foundational piece of next-generation infrastructure merging TradFi assets with DeFi-native execution.

Bitcoin’s recovery to $64K on hold? KEY metrics flash mixed signals after leverage wipeout

Bitcoin's recovery to $64K faces mixed signals after a late-June downturn triggered significant market adjustments. A sharp price decline to $57.8K led to substantial liquidations, wiping out leverage and shifting funding rates from negative to slightly positive, indicating improved sentiment without excessive speculation. This short squeeze reduced selling pressure, allowing a price rebound fueled by fresh long positions and the unwinding of crowded shorts. However, underlying demand metrics present caution. Exchange outflows have slowed, with reserves increasing from 2.25 million to 2.66 million BTC since October, suggesting reduced accumulation into long-term storage. While reserves remain below previous cycle peaks, this growing available supply could limit future rallies if not met with renewed demand. The recovery's sustainability now hinges on persistent spot buying and renewed investor accumulation amidst these conflicting signals.

Founder of Baixing.com: The Notion That Large Language Models Will Devour Everything, I Believe Half of It

Founder of Baixing.com: I Only Half-Believe the Saying “Large Language Models Will Devour Everything” Author: Wang Jianshuo, Founder of Baixing.com Many proclaim that large models are everything, but the author is skeptical. He argues that such sweeping claims often stem from a limited understanding of the future. Drawing parallels to past technologies like electricity and the internet—which were predicted to “devour everything” but didn’t—he suggests that large language models (LLMs) are better seen as a foundational base. Like electricity, this base is essential for modern development, but its real value emerges only when applied to specific scenarios through various “machines” or “tools” (e.g., Claude Code for programming, Claude Design for design). The author acknowledges that LLMs may indeed replace many existing software systems built on rigid rules, workflows, and forms (e.g., CRMs, SaaS tools), as these are precisely what LLMs excel at processing. However, he emphasizes that beyond software, elements like customer data, execution capabilities (e.g., booking a flight), trust, and physical-world interactions will not be “devoured.” Instead, he foresees that after streamlining existing software, LLMs will open up a larger space for innovative, next-generation applications. These new tools will likely feature fluid interfaces and rely less on fixed rules, unleashing greater creativity. The author cautions against short-sightedness, recalling how in 2004 many believed internet giants like Sina, Sohu, and NetEase would monopolize the market—only to be proven wrong by subsequent disruptions. In conclusion, while LLMs are a crucial foundation and a current focal point, the true mainstream of this wave lies in the diverse applications built atop them to solve concrete problems. The phrase “devour everything” is imprecise; the real opportunity lies in identifying and leveraging the areas where LLMs do bring transformative change.

Founder of Baixing.com: I Only Half Believe in the Notion that Large Language Models Devour Everything

The founder of Baixing Wang states that while large language models (LLMs) are an extremely important foundational technology—akin to electricity or the internet—he only "half believes" the notion that they will "consume everything." He argues that LLMs provide a base layer of intelligence, but real-world value and transformation come from integrating this intelligence into specific applications and devices designed for particular scenarios—like how electricity powers various appliances from washing machines to TVs. He agrees LLMs will likely consume or replace a significant portion of existing rule-based, workflow-driven software (e.g., many SaaS systems, CRMs), as these are precisely what LLMs excel at handling. However, numerous other elements—such as customer data, execution capabilities (e.g., booking a flight), trust, and physical-world interactions—will not be consumed. Wang emphasizes that after LLMs absorb certain software layers, they will open up a much larger space for innovation: new types of "streaming" software with less rigid interfaces, where fixed rules are managed by AI. This next wave of applications built on top of the stable LLM foundation is where the true mainstream opportunity lies. He cautions against the short-sightedness of declaring any technology as all-consuming, drawing parallels to past premature predictions about internet giants monopolizing the web. The key is to find opportunities within the areas LLMs do transform.

Will Noah Doe’s Satoshi BTC claim ‘disrupt entire industries’? Defendants say…

Noah Doe, along with two other pseudonymous plaintiffs, is suing in New York to claim legal ownership of 39,069 allegedly abandoned and dormant Bitcoin wallets, containing approximately 3.8 million BTC. Their argument hinges on posting abandonment notices via the Bitcoin blockchain and deeming wallets inactive after a 90-day non-response period as abandoned property. Defendants, including the listed wallet addresses, are seeking to dismiss the case. They argue that inactivity alone does not prove abandonment, as long-term holding is common, and that Noah Doe cannot be a legitimate "finder" without possessing the private keys. They warn a ruling for the plaintiffs would disrupt digital asset industries and undermine property rights. The argument was complicated when one of the named "dormant" wallets, linked to Satoshi and holding 35.55 BTC since 2011, recently moved 15 BTC, demonstrating active control.
