Truebit Confirms Smart Contract Exploit as TRU Price Crashes

Truebit, an Ethereum-based DeFi protocol, confirmed a smart contract exploit on January 8. The incident involved a logic flaw in a minting contract that allowed an attacker to repeatedly exploit incorrect pricing calculations, leading to a loss of 8,535 ETH (approximately $26.44 million). Following the announcement, the price of the TRU token collapsed by 99.99%, dropping from $0.16 to nearly zero. Truebit is working with law enforcement and has advised users to avoid interacting with the affected contract. No official recovery plan has been released yet.

Truebit protocol confirms security incident as exploit drains over $26m in ETH

Truebit protocol confirmed a security breach on January 7, resulting in a loss of over 8,500 ETH (approximately $26 million). The exploit targeted a pricing flaw in a smart contract function that allowed attackers to mint tokens for free and drain ETH reserves through rapid buy-sell loops. Most stolen funds were consolidated into a single address, with half quickly routed through Tornado Cash. The TRU token price collapsed by over 60% following the incident. Truebit is working with law enforcement and has urged users to avoid interacting with the affected contract. The attack reflects a broader trend of rising crypto-related crime driven by economic incentives.

Bitcoin’s Most Reactive Investors Are Still Selling At A Loss – Details

Bitcoin is holding above $90,000 after testing resistance near $94,000, but momentum remains fragile. Analysts are monitoring the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH SOPR), particularly its 30-day moving average, to gauge market direction. Currently, STH SOPR is recovering from a cycle low near 0.982 and approaching the neutral threshold of 1.0, where short-term holders break even. This suggests selling pressure may be easing. However, if the indicator fails to hold above 1.0, it could signal continued uncertainty and potential downside. Historically, sustained bullish trends require short-term holders to return to profitability, reducing panic selling and supporting upward momentum. Until then, the market remains in a fragile balance.

Bitcoin Core V30 Bug Risks Total Wallet Loss For Legacy Users

Bitcoin Core developers issued an urgent warning regarding a critical bug in versions 30.0 and 30.1 that, in rare cases, can delete all wallet files on a node during legacy (BDB) wallet migration, potentially leading to fund loss for users without backups. A fix is expected in version 30.2, and users are advised to avoid migrating legacy wallets until then. The disclosure sparked debate within the community, with some arguing the risk is understated since v30 forces migration for legacy wallet users, while others noted limited real-world impact with only one user reportedly affected. All agree on the precaution: back up wallets and delay migration until the patch is released.

Telegram Financial Report Revealed: Main Revenue Actually Comes from Selling Coins!

Telegram's unaudited financial report for the first half of 2025 reveals a 65% year-on-year revenue increase to $870 million, up from $525 million in the same period of 2024. However, the company reported a net loss of over $220 million, compared to a net profit of $334 million a year earlier. This loss is attributed to a significant decline in the value of its Toncoin (TON) holdings, leading to asset write-downs. Despite its growth in users—now exceeding 900 million monthly active users—Telegram's financial performance is heavily tied to TON. Approximately one-third of its revenue, around $300 million, comes from TON-related exclusive agreements, including wallet integration and payment services. Moreover, Telegram has sold over $450 million worth of TON in 2025 alone, accounting for about 10% of TON's market capitalization, making cryptocurrency sales a major revenue stream. Telegram's planned IPO has been delayed due to ongoing legal investigations involving its founder, Pavel Durov, in France. The company secured $1.7 billion in convertible bonds from institutions like BlackRock and Mubadala in May 2025. Originally launched in 2017, TON faced regulatory challenges from the SEC but was revived as a community-led blockchain. Despite initial growth, TON's ecosystem has struggled recently, with many projects declining significantly in value.

Profit Drops for LIT Whale After Closing Long Position

A whale wallet recently closed a long position on LIT, incurring a loss of $767,403. This caused its overall profit to drop significantly from $3 million to $420k. The closure occurred despite LIT's recent price increase, currently trading at $2.72 with a 6.73% surge in the last 24 hours. Although LIT reached an all-time high of $4.04 on December 30, 2025, it has since declined by 32.63%. Forecasts for early 2026 predict a price correction, with LIT dropping to around $2.17 in the next month before rebounding to $2.21 in three months. Despite short-term bearish predictions, long-term sentiment remains bullish, with expectations for LIT to reach $5.31 by the end of 2026.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Anticipated To Disclose ‘Multibillion-Dollar’ Loss In Q4 Report

Michael Saylor's company, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is anticipated to report a multibillion-dollar loss in its upcoming Q4 financial results, a stark reversal from its $2.8 billion profit in the previous quarter. This is primarily due to a new accounting rule requiring it to value its substantial Bitcoin holdings at current market prices, which fell 24% during the quarter. The company's shares have dropped nearly 48% in 2025, and concerns are rising that it may need to sell Bitcoin to cover expenses. Co-founder Michael Saylor's personal fortune has also fallen by approximately 40% to $3.8 billion. The firm's market-to-net asset value has dropped critically close to 1, signaling a potential decline in investor confidence.

Short-Term Bitcoin Holders Return To Losses Despite Elevated Price Levels – Details

Bitcoin closed 2025 with a modest annual loss, breaking its typical year-end strength and raising concerns about a potential bear market in 2026. Despite elevated price levels, on-chain data shows short-term holders have returned to an aggregate loss of around -12%, indicating underlying market stress. This often occurs during late-stage corrections or consolidation phases rather than full capitulation. Bitcoin is currently consolidating below $90K, with key support at $85K–$88K. A hold above this zone could lead to a relief rally toward $95K–$100K, while a breakdown may trigger a deeper retracement.

Did Saylor’s Bitcoin Bet Fail? Strategy’s $17.5 Billion Loss Numbers Stun Community

Market expert Andy highlighted that Michael Saylor’s company, MicroStrategy, reported a historic GAAP loss of $17.5 billion in Q4 2025 due to Bitcoin exposure as BTC fell below $100,000. This led to a nearly 50% drop in MSTR stock in 2025. Economist Peter Schiff criticized the strategy, claiming it destroyed shareholder value and predicted worse performance in 2026 if Bitcoin declines further. However, the company had strong earnings in Q2 and Q3 2024, and MSTR remains up over 260% in five years. Expert Adam Livingston remains bullish, arguing Bitcoin hedges against inflation and could make MicroStrategy one of the world’s most valuable companies long-term.

Hundreds of Wallets Drained on EVM Chains With No Root Cause, ZachXBT Warns — $107K Lost So Far and Counting

Blockchain investigator ZachXBT warns of a coordinated attack draining hundreds of crypto wallets across multiple Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains, with no confirmed root cause yet identified. The incident has resulted in approximately $107,000 in losses so far, with the total continuing to rise. Each affected wallet lost relatively small amounts, typically under $2,000, suggesting a broad but low-value attack designed to avoid detection. ZachXBT flagged a suspicious address potentially linked to the activity. This follows a separate security incident over the Christmas holiday involving unauthorized withdrawals from self-custody wallets, which Trust Wallet later confirmed was related to its Browser Extension version 2.68. These incidents highlight ongoing security risks in the EVM ecosystem, despite long-term efforts to strengthen network resilience, such as the Ethereum Foundation's "Lean Ethereum" initiative aimed at improving security and scalability.
