On April 2, CoinDesk reported that blockchain analytics firm Elliptic stated that the Drift Protocol attack resulted in losses of $285 million, with "multiple signs" pointing to the DPRK hacker group supported by North Korea. Elliptic focused on analyzing on-chain behavior, money laundering techniques, and signals at the network level, all of which align with previous state-sponsored attacks. The Elliptic report noted, "If confirmed, this will be the 18th DPRK attack tracked by Elliptic this year, totaling over $300 million stolen to date." Technically, Elliptic described the attack as "premeditated and well-planned," with early test transactions and pre-arranged wallets occurring before the main attack. After execution, the funds were quickly consolidated and transferred across chains, converted into more liquid assets, forming an organized and repeatable money laundering process aimed at obscuring the source of funds while maintaining control. The incident involved over ten types of assets, with funds transferred from Solana across to Ethereum and other chains, further highlighting the importance of cross-chain traceability. Drift Protocol is the largest decentralized perpetual contract trading platform on the Solana blockchain, and its token has dropped over 40% to approximately $0.06 since the hack.

On April 2, Cointelegraph reported that well-known Meme coin KOL Murad has accumulated an unrealized loss of nearly $60 million over the past nine months in Meme coin trading. However, he remains optimistic about a rebound and has not cut his losses. He currently holds approximately 29.964 million SPX6900 (SPX), valued at about $7.79 million, which accounts for 96% of his total tracking portfolio of around $8.1 million. Last July, this portfolio peaked at about $67 million, but since then, the Meme coin sector has dropped over 80% from its highs, resulting in an unrealized loss of about $60 million. Data shows that there have been no substantial sales records for his holdings of SPX6900 and other major positions, with realized gains and losses still at zero. On Wednesday, Murad stated on X that the market capitalization of SPX6900 is expected to grow from the current approximately $250 million to $1 trillion, an increase of nearly 400,000%. He pointed out that currently, Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency to surpass a $1 trillion market cap. From a technical perspective, SPX6900 is breaking down from an ascending wedge pattern on the three-day chart, having fallen below the wedge's lower support level of about $0.26, and is positioned below the 20, 50, and 100-period exponential moving averages, indicating weak momentum. If the downward trend is confirmed, the pattern measurement target points to about $0.205, approximately 20% lower than the current low, which would result in an additional loss of about $1.56 million for Murad's Meme coin portfolio.

On April 2, the Trump administration announced it would appeal a federal judge's ruling that blocked its ban on the government's use of Anthropic technology. The U.S. Department of Justice filed a notice in court on Thursday, indicating it would appeal the decision made last month by U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin in San Francisco, Northern District of California. The judge had previously paused the government's plan to sever ties with Anthropic to maintain the status quo while legal disputes continued, but she set aside the ruling for a week to allow the government to appeal. Anthropic had filed a lawsuit questioning the Defense Department's claim that its technology posed a threat to the U.S. supply chain. In the ruling on March 26, the judge sided with Anthropic, stating that the government's justification for the ban on national security grounds was questionable. The judge noted that the move appeared more like a 'punishment' for Anthropic, as the company sought assurances that its technology would not be used for surveillance of Americans or for the deployment of autonomous weapons.

On April 2, Dallas Federal Reserve President Logan outlined the pathways and options for reducing the Fed's balance sheet size, while noting that the current system is functioning well and benefiting overall financial stability. Logan stated that the Fed's current management of financial liquidity aims to provide a 'ample' level of reserves, and that this system is 'efficient and effective.' However, there are still various ways under the current system to help reduce the Fed's holdings, many of which involve rules governing how financial institutions manage their cash reserves. Recent internal and external research at the Fed has indicated that by adjusting regulations to encourage banks to hold lower reserve levels, the Fed could further reduce its balance sheet within the current framework. Logan agreed, stating that the Fed is currently working to make reserve management 'more efficient' during times of stress. She also mentioned that some liquidity rules, while increasing reserves, do not enhance safety, as banks are reluctant to utilize these reserves during a crisis. 'This is an inefficient use of the Fed's balance sheet, and we can completely avoid this situation.'

According to TheBlock, Stepn developer Find Satoshi Lab is bucking the trend set by other NFT marketplaces with its own multi-chain offering called Mooar — with a zero-fee, compulsory royalty structure.
Launched today, the venture is the third project in the FSL ecosystem after the move-to-earn darling Stepn and its decentralized exchange product, Dooar.
Mooar debuts with what the business calls a "unique membership model," as it eschews platform fees in favor of an initial entry fee of $29.90 a month for unlimited NFT trades. For context, the fee is nearly double what you might currently pay for a standard Netflix subscription.
Royalties for creators will default to 2%, or within a 0.5% to 10% range, depending on what the creator chooses to set. It will initially launch on Ethereum and Solana.
