Happycoin.club - Согласно последнему отчёту платформы web3-безопасности Immunefi, с начала января по конец августа 2024 года в результате взломов и мошенничеств были похищены криптовалюты почти на $1,2 млрд. Это на 15,5% больше по сравнению с аналогичным периодом прошлого года.

Однако есть и хорошая новость — в августе потери снизились на 95% (около $15,1 млн) по сравнению с июлем ($274,7 млн). Самым крупным инцидентом последнего месяца лета стал отток $12 млн из сетевого моста Ronin из-за ошибки обновления. Однако позже эти средства были возвращены хакерами в обмен на вознаграждение в размере $500 000.

Этот случай выделяется ещё и тем, что в марте 2022 года Ronin также подвергся атаке, лишившись более чем $600 млн. На данный момент это крупнейший DeFi-эксплойт за всю историю индустрии.

Одним из самых громких взломов этого лета стала атака на индийскую криптобиржу WazirX. В результате эксплойта хакеры похитили с платформы более $230 млн, это почти 45% всех средств пользователей.

Блокчейн Ethereum и BNB Chain по-прежнему остаются основными целями хакеров, на их долю приходятся все потери, о которых сообщалось в августе. Ethereum подвергся трём атакам, в то время как BNB Chain пережил два инцидента. С момента запуска в 2017 году из BNB Chain было похищено $1,64 млрд.

Crypto 美股观察：CRCL、HOOD、COIN 与 MSTR，最近在交易什么？

Recent weeks have seen significant developments for four key US-listed crypto-related stocks—Circle (CRCL), Robinhood (HOOD), Coinbase (COIN), and MicroStrategy (MSTR)—with their core investment theses diverging. For **Circle (CRCL)**, its stock price is increasingly realigning with the fundamental driver of **USDC circulation**. After IPO exuberance faded, CRCL's performance now correlates closely with changes in USDC supply, which is heavily influenced by DeFi activity and risk appetite. The recent contraction in USDC, linked to events like the KelpDAO incident, has pressured the stock. A sustainable recovery signal for CRCL would require a confluence of recovering DeFi TVL, stablecoin demand, and consecutive weeks of USDC net issuance. **Robinhood (HOOD)** gained market attention with the launch of its **Robinhood Chain**, an Ethereum L2. While not an immediate threat to Coinbase's dominant Base network in terms of scale or developer ecosystem, it represents a strategic encroachment. Robinhood's path—leveraging its traditional retail brokerage user base and assets to build a chain-based financial system—challenges Coinbase's narrative as the sole listed company integrating crypto-native infrastructure with traditional finance. This could dilute COIN's long-term scarcity premium. **MicroStrategy (MSTR)** made a notable shift by **selling Bitcoin** for the first time in a meaningful way (3,588 BTC), breaking its long-standing "buy-only" posture. The sales, used to fund dividends and replenish USD reserves, signal a move towards active capital management. While not indicative of a bearish turn on Bitcoin, it introduces new complexity for MSTR investors. The stock must now be evaluated not just as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy, but also considering fixed cash obligations from preferred dividends and debt, alongside its capital allocation strategy between holding BTC and maintaining liquidity. In summary, the investment narratives for these stocks are evolving beyond simple crypto market beta. Key variables now include stablecoin fundamentals, competition in chain-based financial ecosystems, and the balance between asset accumulation and corporate capital structure management.

UKey Unveils the Seed Ring: Bringing Hardware Signing Into Everyday Life

UKey, a self-custody hardware brand, introduces the Seed Ring, a wearable NFC ring designed to securely store cryptocurrency recovery credentials. Unlike traditional hardware wallets that focus solely on signing security and rely on vulnerable paper backups, UKey separates the functions: signing happens on a dedicated device, while backup is handled by the Seed series. The Seed Ring is battery-free, drawing power only when tapped to an NFC-enabled phone, and is made from durable ceramic for daily wear. Crucially, it does not store the full seed phrase in plaintext, only the data needed for recovery, preventing exposure even if lost. This product launches the Seed series, which will later include a credit-card-sized Seed Card and a durable titanium Seed Ti. UKey's philosophy is to integrate secure crypto management into everyday life, moving beyond cold, utilitarian tools to wearable solutions that reduce the risk of losing assets due to poor seed phrase storage.

Here’s why Uniswap is betting on execution over higher LP incentives

Uniswap is shifting its strategy from high liquidity provider (LP) incentives to prioritizing better trade execution. The proposal to cut V4 LP fees by up to 33% marks a departure from its previous model. The protocol aims to attract volume through lower trading costs, tighter spreads, and improved capital efficiency, betting this will offset reduced LP rewards. While this carries the risk of LPs moving capital to competitors, Uniswap is strengthening its execution capabilities, such as via the Sky’s LitePSM integration for zero-slippage stablecoin swaps. Ultimately, its success hinges on whether increased trading activity and superior execution can compensate for lower incentives and maintain its market leadership against rival DEXs.

Behind Robinhood's Launch of Its Own Chain, the Beautifully Packaged "Tokenized Stocks" Still Have No Equity Rights

Robinhood has launched "Robinhood Chain," an Ethereum-based Layer 2 built with Arbitrum technology, and introduced "Stock Tokens." This article clarifies that these tokens are not actual on-chain equity. They are tokenized debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets Jersey Limited, offering economic exposure to reference stocks or ETFs but lacking direct ownership, voting rights, or other shareholder privileges. The legal structure is conservative, relying on traditional financial intermediaries, custody, KYC/AML controls, and specific jurisdiction rules, even though the tokens are transferable on-chain. The move is part of Robinhood's broader strategy to evolve from a retail brokerage into a global financial ecosystem, integrating services like banking, retirement, crypto, and DeFi. Robinhood Chain aims to provide a programmable settlement layer, making financial products more portable and accessible while masking underlying complexity. However, the "brokerage chain paradox" lies in balancing a simple user interface with the intricate, regulated reality of the wrapped assets. The success of this model depends on users and regulators accepting this structured approach without misunderstanding the tokens as direct stock ownership. Key components supporting this strategy include the Bitstamp acquisition (expanding institutional crypto capabilities), the Robinhood Wallet (bridging brokerage and self-custody), the Robinhood Earn program (integrating DeFi lending), and the Lighter perpetual contracts platform. While ambitious, the initiative is still early, facing challenges in achieving liquidity, developer adoption, and regulatory clarity across jurisdictions.

Strategy's Accounting Gimmick: The Cap on BTC Sales Far Exceeds $1.25 Billion

The article, originally from Bankless, discusses how MicroStrategy's (MSTR) recent Bitcoin (BTC) sales reveal a much larger potential selling capacity than the widely reported $1.25 billion "reserve-building" cap. On July 7, MicroStrategy disclosed a sale of 3,588 BTC (~$216M) to pay dividends for its STRAT (STRC) preferred shares and replenish its USD Reserve. Crucially, the company stated this sale did not count against its stated $1.25 billion "reserve-building capacity." The analysis explains that MicroStrategy's "BTC Monetization Plan," part of its broader "Digital Credit Capital Framework," actually outlines three main purposes for selling BTC, only one of which has the $1.25B cap: 1. **Building the USD Reserve** (capped at $1.25B). 2. **Covering preferred share/ debt costs** (replenishing the reserve after payments). 3. **Funding buybacks** (up to $10B for preferred shares and $10B for MSTR common stock). The key nuance is the accounting distinction between "building" the reserve (selling BTC before making payments) and "replenishing" it (selling BTC after using reserve funds for payments). While functionally the same—converting BTC to cash for obligations—only "building" counts against the publicized $1.25B limit. This means sales for "replenishing" and the $20B+ buyback pool allow for total potential sales exceeding $30B. The article frames this as part of MicroStrategy's shift from a simple "buy and hold" Bitcoin narrative to an "active capital management" model, where BTC becomes a balance-sheet tool to manage pressures between its common stock, preferred shares, dollar reserve, and Bitcoin holdings. This creates complex trade-offs and potential conflicts of interest. The conclusion warns investors that the $1.25B figure is not a total sales ceiling. Understanding terms like "build," "replenish," and "repurchase" in MicroStrategy's disclosures is now critical, as the company navigates a new, more complex role as an actively managed entity rather than a passive Bitcoin accumulator.
