Post-Mortem of the Venus THE Attack: How to Profit in a Fleeting Window?

Approximately two hours ago, Venus Protocol's THE token was exploited using a classic Mango Markets-style price manipulation attack. The attacker targeted THE, a low-liquidity collateral asset, by depositing it, borrowing other assets, and using those to buy more THE, artificially inflating its price. Once the time-weighted average oracle updated, the inflated price allowed further leveraged borrowing. To bypass THE's borrowing cap, the attacker performed a "donation attack" by transferring THE directly to the vTHE contract, increasing the recognized collateral value. After the first manipulation phase, THE's price stabilized around $0.50. The attacker attempted to further amplify gains by continuing to buy THE, but mounting sell pressure limited price increases and pushed their health factor near 1.0, risking liquidation. The collateral, nominally valued around $30M, had extremely low liquidity, making large-scale liquidation at inflated prices impossible. Recognizing the situation, the writer opened a short position on THE with high leverage, anticipating a price collapse due to overvaluation, illiquidity, and forced selling. After liquidation, THE price plummeted to ~$0.24, below its pre-attack level, resulting in a ~$15K profit for the writer. Venus Protocol was left with ~$2M in bad debt. The attacker likely gained little or lost funds, though may have profited from off-chain positions. The event highlights that nominal collateral value in DeFi does not equal realizable value during liquidity crises.

WLFI's Deletion Sparks Crash Speculation: Trust Crisis in a Bear Market

Amid a bearish market sentiment, the deletion of a tweet by Eric Trump, co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI), triggered widespread speculation and panic. On February 23, Eric Trump retweeted and then deleted a post about Binance listing more USD1 trading pairs. This action led to a temporary depegging of USD1 to 0.9802 against USDT and a nearly 10% drop in WLFI’s price, though both later recovered. The incident fueled FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) on social media, with rumors suggesting Eric had purged all crypto-related tweets or that internal issues plagued the Trump family. WLFI quickly responded, claiming it was a coordinated attack where hackers breached multiple co-founders’ accounts, spread panic, and attempted to profit by shorting WLFI. They later clarified that only X accounts were compromised, not WLFI or USD1 contracts. However, skepticism arose. Observers noted that only one retweet was removed—not a mass deletion—and no significant shorting activity was detected. Some linked the event to an upcoming major investigation announcement by on-chain detective ZachXBT, though market data did not strongly tie it to WLFI. Critics also questioned WLFI’s narrative, suggesting the “hack” claim might be a cover-up or misdirection. The event highlights the crypto community’s heightened sensitivity and distrust during bear markets, where minor actions can spark exaggerated reactions and conspiracy theories.

Signs of an Imminen Breakout Emerge, BTC/ETH Bullish Trend Confirmed, SOL Shorting Window Opens, Comprehensive Analysis of Crypto Long-Short Opportunities

Current market conditions indicate a potential bullish breakout is imminent. Bitcoin (BTC) has been adjusting for a month, showing consolidation signals with a flattening EMA20 and higher lows on the daily chart. A decisive break above the $89,600 resistance could open further upward momentum. Ethereum (ETH) maintains a bullish outlook after breaking its descending channel. Despite minor pullbacks, the overall structure remains strong, with the next target around $3,170-$3,200. A dip to the $2,930-$2,900 area could present a buying opportunity. Solana (SOL) shows signs of a short-term rebound but is expected to decline afterward. Key shorting opportunities are near $134 and $131.5. AAVE presents a potential buying opportunity following a major sell-off, supported by the conclusion of a 4-year SEC investigation and positive long-term development plans. The current profitable sectors are alpha tokens and contract trading, while secondary and primary markets show weaker returns. Alpha tokens like $GUN, $LISA, and $RTX may continue rising, though high-volatility contract tokens like $LIGHT carry higher risks. A classification of Binance Alpha tokens is provided: 1) Strong consensus tokens (e.g., $RARE, $NIGHT) for long-term holds; 2) Low market cap tokens (e.g., $CYS, $ZKP) with short-term pumps; 3) Highly manipulated tokens (e.g., $PIPPIN, $LIGHT) for speculative trading; and 4) Low-quality projects to avoid. Focus on understandable opportunities and manage risks accordingly.
