South Korean Prosecutors Probe $49M Bitcoin Loss From State Custody

South Korean prosecutors are investigating the loss of approximately $49 million in Bitcoin from state custody. The incident, believed to have occurred in mid-2025, was caused by a phishing attack rather than an external system breach. An employee inadvertently accessed a fraudulent website during a routine inspection, compromising private keys stored on a USB device. The Bitcoin was irreversibly transferred, with no possibility of recovery. While officials confirmed an ongoing internal probe, they declined to disclose exact figures or operational details. This event raises concerns about government agencies' technical preparedness for securing digital assets, highlighting the need for robust operational measures and key management protocols.

$100M Underground Remittance Network Using Crypto, WeChat Dismantled In South Korea

South Korean authorities have dismantled an underground remittance network that moved approximately $102 million (150 billion won) across borders using mobile payment apps like WeChat Pay and Alipay and cryptocurrencies. The scheme, which operated from September 2021 to June 2023, involved collecting funds from customers via the apps, converting the money into crypto abroad, and then cashing it out into South Korean bank accounts after transferring the digital assets to local wallets. To evade detection, the group disguised the transactions as payments for common services such as cosmetic surgery, study abroad fees, and trade-related costs. Three Chinese nationals have been arrested and face charges under foreign exchange laws. The case highlights the growing use of combined traditional and digital payment channels for illicit fund movements, prompting South Korea to strengthen regulations on crypto exchanges and mobile wallets.

Inside the $282mln ZachXBT investigation – How stolen Bitcoin hit Tornado Cash

In a major social engineering attack on January 10th, an attacker stole over $282 million in Bitcoin and Litecoin from a single victim by impersonating Trezor support and tricking them into revealing their seed phrase. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT and security firm PeckShield tracked the stolen funds as the attacker used THORChain—a decentralized, non-KYC protocol—to move approximately $71 million across blockchains. The funds were then obscured using Tornado Cash mixer and swapped into privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero. The theft occurred amid broader market declines, highlighting how social manipulation and cross-chain protocols are increasingly exploited for large-scale laundering.

Fed Chair Race Takes Sudden Turn: Hassett Hints at Exit, Warsh's Odds Surge

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett indicated that President Trump is likely to keep him in his current role, effectively removing him from contention for the next Federal Reserve Chair. This development has shifted the odds in the race to succeed current Chair Jerome Powell, with former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh now emerging as the clear favorite. Prediction markets show Warsh’s probability rising to 60%, while Hassett and Fed Governor Christopher Waller have fallen to around 15%. Another candidate, Rick Rieder of BlackRock, is also in consideration, with some supporters believing he may have a smoother path to Senate confirmation. The selection process, led by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, has gained additional complexity due to a Justice Department investigation into the Fed’s headquarters renovation. Powell has accused the DOJ of using the probe to pressure the central bank for rate cuts, raising concerns about political interference in Fed independence. Despite the controversy, Mnuchin expressed confidence that the Senate would confirm any of the four candidates under consideration. Powell’s term ends on May 15, and Trump has said he will announce his nominee this month.

Former New York Mayor Involved in Rug Pull Allegations: On-Chain Investigation into NYC Token

Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams faces allegations of a "rug pull" following the launch of the NYC token. Shortly after its debut on January 13, the token’s value plummeted over 80% when the liquidity pool creator address (9Ty4M4t9MZArhJBKFWbYrzeqdMf2Ua5eHWSRW3LXKyGt) removed approximately 2.377 million USDC just 30 minutes post-launch. This caused the token’s market cap to crash from a high of $600 million to under $100 million. Beosin’s on-chain analysis traced the initial funding to a Mayan bridge and Kraken. After the crash, the same address began making small purchases of NYC tokens, but the price only recovered to around $0.133. The address still holds 1.332 million USDC, resulting in an estimated profit of $330,000. Adams denied personal profit or involvement in removing funds. However, the analysis confirms liquidity manipulation, with only about $1 million returned to liquidity after $2.37 million was withdrawn. This incident highlights the significant risks associated with celebrity-backed tokens.

Accepting Virtual Currency Worth Tens of Millions, Hardware Wallet Placed in Office Drawer! Details of the Case of Yao Qian from the China Securities Regulatory Commission Disclosed

Chinese securities regulator Yao Qian, former head of the Technology Supervision Department at the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), was involved in a major corruption case involving millions in cryptocurrency bribes. Details reveal he accepted 2,000 Ether (valued at over 60 million yuan at peak) from a cryptocurrency executive in exchange for assisting with a token issuance project. Yao stored the virtual assets in hardware wallets, which were discovered in his office drawer during an investigation. He also used shell accounts and intermediaries to conceal bribes, including a 10 million yuan payment used to buy a luxury villa in Beijing. The case, investigated by Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission, highlights the use of big data and blockchain analysis to trace virtual currency transactions despite their perceived anonymity. Yao was expelled from the Communist Party and public office in November 2024 and faces criminal prosecution. The investigation underscores China’s focus on combating new forms of corruption in the digital asset space.

Bitcoin gains after Jerome Powell warns of Fed ‘intimidation’ – Here’s why

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell publicly criticized political pressure from President Trump, calling a DoJ probe into the Fed a "pretext" and vowing to resist intimidation. Analysts suggest that compromised Fed independence could boost demand for safe-haven assets like Bitcoin and gold. Following Powell’s remarks, BTC rose from $90.5k to over $91k. Historical patterns show that similar political tensions in 2025 triggered rallies in Bitcoin and gold. Experts warn that the escalating conflict may increase market volatility but could ultimately benefit Bitcoin as an emerging store of value, especially if the White House pushes for rate cuts and stimulus measures.

Can Bitcoin Price Follow Gold? Fed Chair Investigation Behind Gold’s Rise, Peter Schiff Claims

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell disclosed that the Justice Department issued grand jury subpoenas to the central bank, which he described as political pressure to influence interest rate decisions. This announcement drove gold to record highs above $4,600 per ounce. Prominent gold advocate Peter Schiff claimed the investigation fueled safe-haven demand for gold and criticized both Powell and former President Trump for supporting artificially low interest rates, which he argues cause inflation. Schiff reiterated his long-term skepticism toward Bitcoin, calling it a "Ponzi scheme" with no future as a medium of exchange. Meanwhile, Bitcoin faced technical uncertainty, trading near $90,166 with analysts warning of a potential bear flag pattern that could lead to further declines if buying pressure doesn’t improve.

Trump "Gets Serious": Powell Faces Investigation, Interest Rate Dispute Escalates

US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has publicly accused the US Department of Justice (DOJ) of threatening criminal charges to pressure the Fed into aligning interest rate policy with former President Donald Trump's demands. In a rare video statement, Powell condemned the action as an unprecedented attack on the central bank’s independence. The investigation, initiated by the Washington DC US Attorney’s office, focuses on allegations that Powell misled Congress regarding a $250 million renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters. The conflict stems from Trump's longstanding criticism of Powell for being too slow to cut interest rates. Since returning to office, Trump has intensified pressure on the Fed to lower rates to stimulate economic growth. Market reactions were immediate, with US stock index futures falling, gold and silver prices rising, and Bitcoin holding near $91,000. Powell reaffirmed the Fed’s commitment to data-driven policy, emphasizing its mandate to ensure price stability and maximize employment, not to yield to political influence. Legal experts suggest the evidence against Powell is weak, but if charges proceed, he could face resignation or even imprisonment. Meanwhile, speculation about his potential replacements includes Kevin Warsh and Kevin Hassett, both seen as favorable to Trump’s economic agenda. The situation has raised concerns about institutional independence and potential constitutional crisis.
