Introduzione

2022 年 8 月 2 日,Nomad Bridge 受到攻击。与以往安全事件不同的是,此次参与攻击的黑客多达上百位(其中不乏白帽黑客)。

Nomad Bridge 事件损失约 190M 美元,约 37M 美元已从白帽黑客手中回收,仍有超过 100M 美元的损失掌握在获利最大的两位黑客手中。

2022 年 8 月 2 日,Nomad Bridge 受到攻击。与以往安全事件不同的是,此次参与攻击的黑客多达上百位(其中不乏白帽黑客)。其原因是攻击手法简单且被部分攻击者传播开来,任何用户通过复制 - 粘贴成功攻击交易的 payload、再将其中的地址信息修改为自己的任意地址,便能成功从 Nomad Bridge 提走资金。由于 Nomad 项目方没有紧急停止机制,桥中资金几乎被全部套出,损失约 190 M 美元。

自 8 月 3 日官方发布回收程序至今已有 12 日,Nomad Bridge 回收资产累计 37 M 美元,多数资产仍然流落在外。这些尚未归还的资产目前停留在哪?由哪些黑客控制?我们通过这篇文章来简单了解一下。

2022 年 8 月 3 日,Nomad Bridge 官方发表资产回收程序:此次事件中从 Nomad Bridge

取走资产的白帽黑客 / 研究员可以将资产转入地址 0x94A844 来实现回收[2]。

2022 年 8 月 5 日,Nomad Bridge 官方补充声明:参与此次事件的攻击者只需返还取走资产的 90% 则可被视为白帽黑客,Nomad Bridge 不会进一步追究其法律责任[3]。

02 资产追踪

从 2022-08-01 9:32 PM 到 2022-08-02 12:05 AM (UTC 时间 ),共有 322 个地址通过 962 笔交易调用了漏洞合约的 process 函数累计 1177 次,Nomad Bridge 被取走 USDC、USDT、DAI、WETH、WBTC 等 14 种资产,损失累计约 190 M 美元。

与普通攻击事件不同,此次事件中的 962 笔交易由 322 个地址发起,而这些地址大多属于不同实体,被盗资产也分散流入到了 329 个获利地址。截至 2022-08-15 11:00,在 329 个获利地址中, 65 个地址返还了全部资产,50 个地址返还了 90% 资产,7 个地址返还了不到 90% 资产。此外,在 Nomad Bridge 发布回收程序之前已有 12 个地址向 Nomad: ERC20 Bridge 返还过资金,其中 11 个地址返还了全部获利。

在尚未返还资产的 195 个地址中,有 16 个地址将获利转移到了 Tornado.Cash,4 个地址不受攻击者控制(不知是出于恶作剧心态还是业务能力不大熟练,有 4 笔攻击交易的获利地址被分别设置为 Maker、WETH、FRAX 以及空地址)。这意味着上述 20 个获利地址中的资产大概率无法回收,这部分资产累计约 17 M 美元。此外,有 86 个地址中的获利已经开始转移。最后,仍有 90 个获利地址没有任何动静。

03 攻击者分析

在此次事件中,看似有 322 个地址独立地发起了攻击,但实际的攻击者却并不是 322 位。攻击交易发起地址和获利地址累计有 606 个(排除 Maker 等四个地址),经地址聚类后得到 219 个地址簇(一个地址簇中的地址有极高的概率受同一个实体控制)。这意味着攻击者数量不会超过 219 个。

图中 6 个获利地址可被认为由同一实体控制

在这 219 个地址簇中,有 2 个地址簇(疑似 2 位攻击者)掌控了近半数 Nomad Bridge 在此次事件中损失的资产。

关键的是,当我们从实体的维度再次统计偿还情况时发现,这两位攻击者尚未偿还任何资产。这就导致,虽然约半数攻击者(106)选择向项目方偿还全部或部分资金(其中 100 位攻击者还款超过 90%),但 Nomad Bridge 回收的资金却仅有 37 M 美元,与 190 M 美元相去甚远。

04 结语

截止 8 月 13 日, Nomad Bridge 已经从白帽黑客手中回收了约 37M 美元的损失。遗憾的是,仍有超过 100M 美元的损失掌握在获利最大的两位黑客手中。这两位黑客用于发起攻击交易的手续费均来源于 Tornado Cash,且获利尚未开始转移,这使得我们很难追踪到他们的身份(不了解 Tornado Cash 的朋友可以阅读我们团队的科普文章——70 亿美金流转地,Tornado Cash 的前世今生)。

Trillion-Dollar Pension Fund Entry? Franklin Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment ETF Comes with a Built-in Selling Pressure Ceiling

Franklin Templeton has filed to launch two ETFs that embed a "default configuration" logic into Bitcoin investment, aiming to tap into massive pension fund flows. These "Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index ETFs" will initially hold 95% equities and 5% Bitcoin, automatically reinvesting stock dividends to buy Bitcoin. However, a quarterly rebalancing rule forces selling of Bitcoin if its allocation exceeds 5%, capping its maximum holding at 20%. While the product cleverly circumvents advisor reluctance and compliance hurdles by labeling itself as a U.S. equity product, its actual Bitcoin buying power is minimal. Given low dividend yields (e.g., ~1% for broad market indices), annual Bitcoin purchases from a fund the size of Franklin's existing Bitcoin ETF would be a mere $3.6 million—negligible against Bitcoin's daily trading volume. Crucially, during bull markets, the fund becomes a programmed, passive *seller* of Bitcoin, potentially creating sustained sell pressure if many similar funds emerge. The strategy leverages investor inertia and automatic enrollment, similar to the success of target-date funds in 401(k) plans. It also uses an offshore Cayman subsidiary for holding Bitcoin and raises a tax complication where investors must pay taxes on dividends they never receive as cash. Although recent U.S. regulatory changes allow crypto in retirement plans, widespread adoption as a default option faces legal hurdles. The core premise remains: the system doesn't need to convince anyone to buy Bitcoin actively; it simply relies on people doing nothing.

Bitcoin Hits 20-Month Low as Largest Bull Suffers $15 Billion Paper Loss

Bitcoin Hits 20-Month Low as Major Bull Loses $15 Billion On June 25th, Bitcoin fell below $60,000, hitting a low of $58,030—its lowest level since October 2024. The sell-off triggered over $1 billion in leveraged liquidations in 24 hours, with longs accounting for $788 million. This marks a more than 53% decline from the October 2025 all-time high of $126,198. A critical factor in the downturn is the weakening position of MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder. With 847,363 BTC at an average cost of $75,651, the company now faces over $14.6 billion in unrealized losses. Its core financing flywheel—raising capital to buy Bitcoin—is stalling. Its variable-rate preferred shares (STRC), a key fundraising tool, have fallen 25% below their $100 target. This raises doubts about its ability to continue providing steady institutional demand for Bitcoin. Simultaneously, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing significant outflows, with a single-day net outflow of $469 million on June 24th. This represents the most severe sustained capital flight since their launch. The macroeconomic backdrop remains restrictive, with persistent inflation delaying expected Fed rate cuts. Analysts note a shift in capital allocation, with institutional funds moving away from crypto towards AI infrastructure stocks. Immediate pressure comes from approximately $10 billion worth of Bitcoin options expiring on June 26th, which could increase market volatility. The combined effect of these factors—eroding core demand pillars, macro headwinds, and capital rotation—has decisively broken the $60,000 support level.

STRC Falls Below $80, Can Conservative Investors Still Buy the Dip?

The article analyzes whether the STRC (a perpetual preferred stock issued by MicroStrategy) presents a buying opportunity after its price fell below its $100 par value to around $80, offering a seemingly high yield of 13-15%. The core argument is that STRC's discount reflects market skepticism about the sustainability of MicroStrategy's capital structure model, not just temporary panic. This model relies on issuing securities (like STRC) to raise funds to buy more Bitcoin, a "flywheel" that works in a bull market. The recent small sale of BTC to fund dividends, while minor, broke the psychological "never sell" anchor and signaled potential strain. Key risks identified are not a traditional Ponzi collapse but a potential breakdown in the financing narrative: 1) If Bitcoin enters a deep bear market, crushing MicroStrategy's stock premium (mNAV), its ability to raise cheap capital weakens. 2) If STRC remains deeply discounted, it signifies permanently higher funding costs. 3) The high cash dividend yield represents a significant ongoing expense. 4) If selling BTC to pay dividends becomes routine, the bullish narrative reverses. The conclusion is that STRC is not a risk-free high-yield asset. It is a high-coupon bet on whether MicroStrategy's BTC treasury financing model can withstand a bear market. Buying it is a wager that the market will continue to believe in and fund this structure at acceptable costs. The current price asks if this cycle's "casualty" might be a BTC treasury company's融资 model itself.

Why Do Crypto Projects Keep Changing Their Names?

**Why Do Crypto Projects Keep Changing Names?** In the crypto world, changing a project's name is common—over 16% of projects have done so, including major ones like Polygon (formerly Matic Network). This contrasts sharply with traditional businesses, which fiercely protect brand equity. The core reason is that in crypto, brand loyalty is often weak. Users are frequently investors, airdrop hunters, or yield seekers, not traditional consumers. A name associated with price crashes, hacks, or failed narratives becomes a liability, not an asset. Renaming can be a strategic reset to shed this baggage. Name changes serve as a potent marketing tool. They can signal a genuine pivot in strategy or scope (e.g., EthSign dropping "Eth" as it expanded). However, they are often used to "narrative surf," rebranding to align with hot trends like AI, RWA, or the metaverse (e.g., Elrond → MultiversX). Critically, renaming is also a PR tactic to distance a project from past failures like security breaches (e.g., Anyswap → Multichain). The most significant risk emerges when a name change is coupled with a token migration or swap. This process can allow projects to reset exchange price charts, erase visible historical downtrends, and create an illusion of a fresh start. It often facilitates liquidity resets, where low float can be exploited for pumps. More alarmingly, migrations sometimes mask overhauls to tokenomics, introducing substantial new token supply through "ecosystem funds" or "node rewards," effectively diluting existing holders. The fundamental issue isn't renaming itself, which can be valid for strategic evolution. The problem is when it functions as an escape from history—a way to avoid accountability for past mistakes, failed promises, and poor performance. When a project announces a rebrand, the critical questions are: What tangible new capability or strategy does it represent? Has the tokenomics changed? And what part of its past is it most trying to make users forget?

A Trillion-Dollar Entry Point for Pension Funds? Franklin's Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment ETFs Come with a Built-In Selling Pressure Ceiling

Franklin Templeton filed for two ETFs on June 18 that embed a "default option" logic into Bitcoin investing. These funds—the Franklin US Equity Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index ETF and the Franklin US Innovative Equity Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index ETF—aim to automatically allocate a portion of investor dividends to Bitcoin, initially with a 95% stock and 5% Bitcoin allocation. The mechanism is designed for financial advisors, not retail investors. By packaging Bitcoin exposure within a standard equity fund label, advisors can bypass internal compliance restrictions against direct cryptocurrency allocation for their clients. Dividends from the stock holdings are automatically used to buy Bitcoin via spot ETFs, futures, or options. However, the structure imposes strict rebalancing rules: if Bitcoin's allocation exceeds 5%, it is trimmed back to 4.5% quarterly, with a hard cap of 20%. This means the fund becomes a systematic seller during Bitcoin price rallies. Realistically, the potential buying pressure is minimal. Based on dividend yields (approximately 1.05% for broad market, 0.52% for innovative equity), the annual inflow into Bitcoin would be a tiny fraction of the fund's assets. For comparison, Franklin's existing Bitcoin ETF ($359 million AUM) would generate only about $3.6 million in annual Bitcoin purchases—negligible against Bitcoin's daily trading volume. The innovative equity fund, heavily weighted in low-dividend stocks like Nvidia, would have even weaker buying power. The product utilizes an offshore Cayman subsidiary to hold Bitcoin, a common compliance tactic for commodity exposure in mutual funds. A key drawback for investors is the tax liability: they must pay taxes on dividends that are automatically converted into Bitcoin, requiring out-of-pocket cash for a gain they never directly receive. For the strategy to scale significantly, such funds would need to become a default or near-default option in retirement plans like 401(k)s. Recent regulatory moves, including a Trump executive order and a Department of Labor proposal offering fiduciary safe harbors for including crypto assets, could pave the way. However, widespread employer adoption likely awaits further legal clarity. Ultimately, the fund's model leverages investor inertia and automated systems, rather than convincing anyone to actively choose Bitcoin. While it creates a new, albeit small, structural buyer, its rebalancing rules also establish a built-in "selling ceiling" that could dampen price upside if similar products proliferate.
