Фейк-атака на Tether: как WSJ опозорился с «расследованием»

cryptonews.ru2022-12-26 tarihinde yayınlandı2024-10-26 tarihinde güncellendi

The Wall Street Journal в очередной раз оказался в центре скандала после публикации непроверенной информации. Издание опубликовало материал о якобы ведущемся расследовании против Tether, который тут же был опровергнут генеральным директором компании Паоло Ардоино (Paolo Ardoino).

Казалось бы, респектабельное издание со столетней историей должно проверять факты, прежде чем публиковать сенсационные заявления. Но нет! WSJ решил поиграть в испорченный телефон, смешав в один коктейль старые слухи, анонимные источники и громкие обвинения.

По версии журналистов, прокуратура Манхэттена якобы ведет уголовное расследование против крупнейшего в мире стейблкоина. Министерство финансов США, если верить WSJ, уже готовит санкции против Tether. Причина? Использование токена некими «плохими парнями» из России и террористическими группировками.

  • Объем обвинений впечатляет: тут и отмывание денег
  • И нарушение санкций
  • И даже финансирование терроризма

Только вот незадача — ни прокуратура Манхэттена, ни Минфин США не подтвердили эту информацию. А CEO Tether Паоло Ардоино и вовсе назвал публикацию «пережевыванием старого шума».

«Как мы и сказали WSJ, нет никаких признаков того, что против Tether ведется расследование. Точка», — отрезал Ардоино в своем посте на платформе X.

Представитель Tether был еще более категоричен, назвав статью WSJ «чистейшими домыслами». И действительно, компания давно сотрудничает с правоохранительными органами для борьбы с потенциальными злоумышленниками.

Конечно, у Tether не безупречная репутация. В 2021 году Комиссия по торговле товарными фьючерсами США (CFTC) оштрафовала компанию за «недостоверные заявления» о стопроцентном обеспечении стейблкоина долларами США. Но с тех пор много воды утекло, а Tether стал более прозрачным в своих операциях.

История с публикацией WSJ напоминает классический случай журналистской погони за сенсацией. Только вот незадача — фактов ноль, зато домыслов хоть отбавляй. И эта газетная утка оказалась совсем не безобидной: после выхода новости биткоин рухнул на 4%, протестировав уровень $66 000.

Base Halts for Two Hours: A Single Invalid Block Reveals the Centralized Reality of L2s

Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 Rollup, experienced a two-hour network outage starting around 00:03 UTC on June 26. The halt was caused by a consensus issue that led to an invalid block being sequenced, which prevented the generation of new blocks after block 47806542. The team identified the problem, restored block sequencing by 01:51 UTC, and confirmed full recovery of ecosystem infrastructure synchronization shortly after. This incident highlights the operational reality for many L2s: while they leverage Ethereum for security and data availability, their day-to-day usability heavily depends on their sequencer and internal systems. Base employs a high-availability sequencer system with one active leader, but this setup did not prevent the outage when a consensus-level problem arose. This follows a previous 33-minute outage in August 2025 related to a faulty sequencer handover process. The downtime occurred near the scheduled activation window for the "Beryl" network upgrade, which has since been postponed. Beryl introduces the native B20 token standard, among other improvements. The incident has sparked renewed discussion about Base potentially launching its own network token in the future, shifting the conversation from mere speculation to questions about how a token might relate to sequencer decentralization, governance, and accountability in such failure scenarios.

STRC Must Re-Anchor for a BTC Bull Market to Happen

Title: STRC's Depegging Threatens MicroStrategy's Bitcoin-Buying Machine, and Thus the BTC Bull Run Summary: The sustained depegging of MicroStrategy's priority share STRC (trading ~25% below its $100 target) is severely disrupting the company's core business model and poses a major risk to Bitcoin (BTC) price support. STRC was MicroStrategy's most efficient and low-cost funding tool, designed to allow continuous capital raises near its $100 par value to fuel relentless BTC accumulation. Its depegging has effectively blocked this primary funding channel. The situation creates a severe cash flow crisis. STRC and other priority shares now obligate MicroStrategy to pay approximately $1.7 billion in annual cash dividends, while the company's cash reserves are only about $1.4 billion — insufficient to cover one year of payments. To raise cash, MicroStrategy is increasingly resorting to issuing common stock (MSTR) through ATM offerings. However, recent raises show most proceeds (around 90% in one week) are now used to bolster cash reserves rather than buy Bitcoin. This dilutes the key metric of Bitcoin per MSTR share, eroding the fundamental value proposition for equity investors. The company faces grim alternatives: issuing high-cost debt or selling its massive Bitcoin holdings. The latter, though hinted at, would likely trigger significant negative market reactions. Conclusion: As BTC's largest corporate holder and a major marginal buyer, MicroStrategy's funding woes mean reduced, and potentially reversing, institutional buy-side pressure. The company has shifted from being a guaranteed source of BTC demand to a significant overhang on the market. The article argues that without STRC re-anchoring to restore its funding engine, a sustained BTC bull market is in jeopardy.

No Bull Market for BTC Without STRC Re-pegging

Summary: The sustained de-pegging of MicroStrategy's (MSTR) Strategy Preferred Shares (STRC) poses a severe threat to Bitcoin (BTC) and could prevent a bull market. STRC, designed to trade near a $100 target, has plunged to around $75, effectively shutting down MicroStrategy's cheapest and most efficient funding channel. This channel was critical for its "raise funds, buy BTC" business model. More critically, MicroStrategy now faces a massive cash outflow from these preferred shares. With approximately $10.49 billion of STRC outstanding at an 11.5% dividend yield, the annual cash obligation exceeds $1.2 billion. Combined with other preferred shares, the total annual payout nears $1.7 billion, depleting its current ~$1.4 billion cash reserve within a year. To address this, MicroStrategy is increasingly relying on common stock (MSTR) offerings via its ATM program. However, recent sales show most raised capital is now used to bolster cash reserves rather than buy more Bitcoin. This dilutes the key metric of BTC per share for common stockholders, eroding the foundation of its premium valuation. If STRC cannot re-peg, this costly dilution may continue. Worse, if cash pressure intensifies, selling Bitcoin becomes a real risk. As the largest corporate BTC holder (~847,363 BTC), any significant sales could crash the market. Thus, MicroStrategy is transforming from BTC's most reliable institutional buyer into a major potential seller, casting a significant shadow over Bitcoin's price prospects.

Examining if STABLE’s uptrend is sustainable after its latest 5% price hike

STABLE has shown notable resilience and strength against a weak broader crypto market, recently surging over 5% to trade around $0.362 while defending key support at $0.33. Its bullish structure is supported by trading above key moving averages, a rising Stochastic Momentum Index, and a significant negative Spot Netflow indicating strong sustained demand, with daily outflows exceeding inflows. However, the uptrend faces sustainability concerns. A persistently negative Price DAA Divergence for seven consecutive days reveals weak network usage and low user engagement, signaling underlying structural weakness. This historically increases the risk of a price correction. While strong demand could propel STABLE to close above $0.36 and challenge the $0.40 resistance, failure to maintain momentum could trigger a pullback toward the $0.32 support level.

Tornado Cash Suffers Another Governance Attack: A Fake Proposal Targets $23 Million Community Treasury

On June 25, 2026, a deceptive governance proposal (#67) appeared in the Tornado Cash DAO, masquerading as an upgrade to implement fee adjustments and token burns. Security researchers, including Sergey Shemyakov and Pascal Caversaccio, quickly identified it as malicious. The proposal's unverified code contained a hidden function designed to stealthily replace the protocol's legitimate governance address (0x5efda50f22d34F262c29268506C5Fa42cB56A1Ce) with an attacker-controlled address (0x5efda50f22d34f272c7077689d6abc42f15e285f). If passed, this would have granted the attacker control over the DAO's treasury, containing approximately $23 million in TORN tokens, and the ability to drain all relayers. The attacker's wallet (0xd4eca8c9242b9f9faa3cf19a78defc21dc97a925) was funded via the privacy protocol Railgun four days prior, obscuring the source. The community response was swift, with the proposal receiving 27,163 TORN votes against (100%) and 0 for, far below the 100,000 TORN quorum required for validity. It is set to expire on June 30. This incident marks the second major governance attack on Tornado Cash, following a May 2023 exploit that stole $2.17 million. It highlights persistent vulnerabilities in DAO structures where power derives from token ownership. The article advises users to follow security researchers, vote against unverified proposals, and delegate voting power. For developers, implementing timelocks—a delay between proposal approval and execution—is presented as a critical security measure to allow for community review and intervention.
