Пользователь перевел $129 млн на фишинговый адрес, но их просто вернули

Неназванный пользователь перевел $129 млн в USDT мошенникам, скопировав неправильный адрес из истории транзакций. В отличие от большинства подобных случаев, в течение 6 часов владельцы адреса-получателя сами вернули деньги.

🤯不知道哪位遭遇了首尾号相似钱包地址的钓鱼攻击，误转了 1.29 亿 USDT 给钓鱼地址：

不过，钓鱼团伙不到 1 小时归还了其中 90%，然后又过了 4 个多小时把剩余的 10% 也归还了…

情报来自 InMist 成员。 https://t.co/cFhK3sM8Go

По наблюдениям аналитиков Scam Sniffer со ссылкой на данные SlowMist, в историю транзакций пострадавшего попал подозрительный адрес, последние символы которого совпадают с одним из знакомых пользователю кошельков. Тот не проверил и отправил деньги на кошелек-самозванец.

По такому принципу работает схема «address poisoning». Мошенники создают адрес, похожий на какой-то из привычных потенциальной жертве. С него присылают незначительную транзакцию, которая сохраняется в истории пользователя.

Злоумышленники рассчитывают, что жертва не будет проверять полный идентификатор и скопирует подставной адрес при создании транзакции.

В мае в результате подобной атаки неназванный трейдер потерял $68 млн. В июле от «отравления адреса» пострадала хакерская группа Pink Drainer, тогда добыча составила 10 ETH.

Удивленные быстрым возвратом средств, некоторые пользователи X предположили, что мошенники испугались такой крупной добычи. Тот, кто пересылает $129 млн, вполне мог бы нанять команду аналитиков и хакеров для поиска виновных, потому может представлять угрозу.

Другие допустили, что на другом конце транзакции оказался не злоумышленник, а порядочный человек, который по собственной воле вернул средства владельцу.

Напомним, 10 ноября трейдер, потерявший около $26 млн из-за ошибки копирования, попросил сообщество помочь с возвратом средств и пообещал 10% в награду.

Circle CEO: Stablecoins Are at the Internet's 2002 Stage, Will Reach Trillions of Dollars in the Future

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, in a Q2 2026 earnings AMA, discussed the current state and future of stablecoins and Circle's strategy. He compared stablecoins today to the internet in 2002, predicting they will grow from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars. Key points include: * **Current Use Cases**: Stablecoins have achieved product-market fit in digital asset markets (for trading/settlement), as a digital dollar store of value in emerging markets, and for cross-border payments and settlement. * **Future Growth Areas**: Allaire highlighted opportunities in the AI agent economy, merchant payments (especially via QR codes and stablecoin cards), and the convergence of traditional and on-chain finance. * **Circle's Strategy**: Circle aims to grow USDC through global partnerships. Its economic engines will include reserve income, transaction fees from its on-chain payment network (CPN), and its upcoming "economic operating system," Arc. * **Arc's Vision**: Arc, launching its mainnet on September 16, is a stablecoin-native blockchain designed for seamless user and developer experience. It aims to power the future "on-chain" economy where businesses and AI agents operate. * **Global Adoption**: Allaire emphasized that stablecoin adoption is a global phenomenon, driven by regulatory clarity in regions like Europe (MiCA) and the US (GENIUS Act), and will continue regardless of specific US legislation like the CLARITY Act. * **EURC Growth**: Circle's euro stablecoin, EURC, has surpassed €400 million in circulation, benefiting from early preparation for European regulations and existing distribution networks. Allaire expressed confidence in Circle's execution, citing strong team cohesion and the adoption of AI tools, while identifying cybersecurity and global local operations as key areas for continued strengthening.

With Revenue 3.8 Billion Lower Than CXMT, Net Profit Is 8.6 Billion Higher: What Secrets Are Hidden in YMTC's IPO?

Chinese NAND flash giant Changcun Holdings has submitted its IPO prospectus to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. In Q1 2026, the company reported revenue of 47.042 billion yuan and a net profit attributable to parent company shareholders of 33.379 billion yuan. This presents a striking contrast with its competitor Changxin Technology, which had higher revenue (50.8 billion yuan) but a significantly lower net profit of 24.762 billion yuan. The key to this discrepancy lies in their ownership structures of core assets. Changcun Holdings fully owns its main operating entity, Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd., allowing nearly all group profits to flow to the parent company. In contrast, Changxin Technology controls but does not fully own its key production subsidiaries, meaning a substantial portion of its consolidated profits (approximately 8.25 billion yuan in Q1 2026) belongs to minority shareholders, reducing its reported net profit. Despite Changcun's higher net profit, its pre-IPO valuation is estimated lower than Changxin's. Analysts attribute this to differing market expectations: Changxin, focused on DRAM and the high-growth HBM market for AI servers, is seen as having greater long-term growth potential. Changcun, while dominant in NAND flash, operates in a market with inherent size constraints, making its future valuation more dependent on successfully upgrading its product mix toward higher-value segments like enterprise SSDs.

Perpetual Contract Liquidation Wave Resurges, Bitcoin $62k - $67k May Become the 'Disaster Zone'

A wave of liquidations has hit the crypto perpetual futures market, with analysts warning of continued volatility. Following Bitcoin's drop below $76,000 and subsequent rebound, over $84 million in long positions were liquidated in one hour, demonstrating the amplified impact of leverage. The U.S. CFTC's recent approval of a spot Bitcoin perpetual contract on the Kalshi exchange has opened this "previously closed" asset class to American institutions, with the platform reporting $5.5 billion in volume in its first two weeks. However, critics like Better Markets warn that perpetuals are "among the most dangerous crypto products" for retail investors due to a lack of enhanced protections. Recent price action saw a massive $529 million in hourly liquidations, predominantly longs. Analysts note that while a $3.3 billion short squeeze cleared liquidity above $80,000, a significant pool of long liquidations now sits between $62,000 and $67,000, posing a downside risk if key resistance holds. Experts caution new traders against using leverage or options, which can expire worthless, without proper experience and risk management. Despite the dangers, the demand for leveraged products persists, with some institutional players preferring on-chain platforms for their transparency and self-custody. As Kalshi expands its perpetual offerings beyond crypto, the core warning remains: leverage can lead to sudden, severe losses for unprepared investors.

While Peers Shift to AI, This $2 Billion Crypto VC Firm Plans to Raise an Additional $150 Million to Double Down on Crypto

Cryptocurrency investment firm RockawayX, managing around $20 billion, is raising a $150 million liquidity fund while its peers shift focus to AI. This move follows its acquisition of crypto hedge fund Relayer Capital, whose founder Austin Barack will lead the new fund targeting undervalued tokens and crypto stocks. Relayer's strong performance, with ~70% returns this year driven by positions in assets like Hyperliquid (up 219%) and Venice AI (up 1006%), underpins the strategy. The expansion contrasts with other VCs but aligns with RockawayX's broader push beyond venture capital, including entering crypto treasury management earlier in 2024. The firm is also involved in ongoing legal disputes related to a failed merger attempt with Solana firm Solmate.

Controversial Internet Celebrity Investor Launches Meme Coin, Frenzy Fades as Quickly as It Started

Controversial former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli, known as "Pharma Bro," recently announced his entry onto the Solana meme coin platform Pump.fun, sparking a brief frenzy. His posts garnered hundreds of thousands of views, and Pump.fun reported his account achieved over 6,000% gains in a day. However, the meme coins he launched, MARTIN and CITRINI, subsequently crashed by over 94% from their peaks within a day. This pattern mirrors Shkreli's past involvement with failed meme coins like MSI in 2022 and DJT in 2024, where prices plummeted over 90% following large wallet sell-offs. Despite followers posting significant losses in the comments, Shkreli responded with evasive or dismissive remarks, refusing to acknowledge responsibility. The episode highlights the volatile and often predatory nature of celebrity-promoted meme coin schemes.
