Crypto projects suffered losses exceeding $482 million in Q1 2026 amid increased network security measures. This comes on the back of a slow start to the year for digital assets and strict regulatory frameworks from Europe, Asia, and other jurisdictions.In the first three months of the year, decentralized finance (DeFi) hacks were slightly above expectations, though still low compared to previous years. A total of 44 incidents were recorded with losses above $482 million.A major takeaway was the dominance of mid-sized attacks compared to larger ones in the last five years. Many incidents originated off-chain (outside of on-chain code). This constitutes infrastructural layers and technical setups that have become more prone to bad-actor schemes.This first quarter generally marked the lowest since Q1 2023. Last year, the infamous Bybit incident cost the ecosystem over $1.4 billion, eroding market sentiment before bulls took control amid the corporate accumulation frenzy.According to Hacken, phishing and social engineering scams largely dominated, while smart contract losses declined. Specifically, $306 million was lost to phishing incidents, while smart contracts and cloud services incurred $86 million and $71 million in losses, respectively. A further breakdown links $40 million to North Korean hackers, while Resolv Labs’ AWS key was wiped out, costing $25 million. Last week, a group of North Korean hackers faked identities to make one $3.5 million.Blockchain enthusiast ZachXBT wrote that one IT worker, alongside a team of 140 people, made over $1 million per month. This adds to the growing rate of crypto scams impacting markets. “Meanwhile, DPRK-linked actors continued operating the same playbook documented in our 2025 report (fake VC calls, malware disguised as software updates, compromised employee laptops) and extracted another $40M+ from Step Finance and

The US National debt is approaching $39 trillion, exceeding 120% of the overall country’s GDP. The development highlights that debt has outpaced annual economic output and has entered dangerous territory. Even Federal interest payments have exceeded the National defense spending, and the Iran war is making it worse. Despite all of these, the US dollar still remains the king of the financial world. How? In this article, we will explain why the USD remains the undisputed global reserve currency despite facing increasingly challenging conditions.Also Read: S&P 500 Index Dips as US President Trump Prepares to Block Strait of Hormuz3 Things Hold the US Dollar Steady in the Global MarketsSource: iStockThe US has a fiscal deficit of around 6% of its overall GDP. This means that the government is spending more than the country earns per year. The majority of developed countries aim for a deficit of less than 3% of their GDP. The US has doubled it here, and no leader is providing a solution to come out of the mess. However, 3 things have shaped the US dollar, maintaining its status despite the challenges.Almost every central bank in the world keeps the US dollar as the primary reserve currency.Every single barrel of crude oil is bought and sold in the US dollar. (Exception remains due to the recent de-dollarization trend).All global transactions, be it in trade, investments, debt, or loans, are paid in the USD.These transactions themselves are worth billions of dollars that keep the currency afloat. Even after 80 years, the currency has not flinched or come close to the brink. While the central bank diversification began in 2022, they are still a long way from completely replacing it. The de-dollarization agenda is also slowing down, and only countries that are sanctioned are initiating the process, and it’s not out of free will. For instance, Russia was considering g

Chainlink Now Streams Live US Stock Prices to DeFi


The Chainlink price narrative shifted this week when the protocol upgraded its Data Streams infrastructure to deliver near-real-time pricing for US stocks and ETFs on a 24/5 basis, giving DeFi protocols access to the same equity data that covers roughly $80 trillion in global market value.

CoinMarketCap’s April 12 coverage of the upgrade notes that most existing on-chain data solutions provide only a single price point for equities during standard trading hours from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET, creating a gap where on-chain markets cannot reliably replicate market conditions at all hours. Chainlink’s 24/5 streams eliminate that gap, enabling synthetic equities, automated trading, collateral management, and lending markets to function with live pricing data rather than stale snapshots. The protocol is already embedded in the infrastructure of institutions including Swift, Euroclear, JPMorgan, Mastercard, UBS, and Fidelity International.

$LINK was trading around $9.14 to $9.25 on Tuesday, up from recent lows but still down roughly 34 percent over the past year.

Chainlink Price: What the Equities Data Stream Does for the $LINK Token

The $LINK token’s value accrual thesis depends on growing demand for Chainlink’s oracle services. Every DeFi protocol that integrates the new equity data streams creates a new source of ongoing fee revenue paid in $LINK. The 40-plus blockchains where the streams are live represent a wide distribution of potential demand, and the institutional adoption profile of Chainlink’s existing partners means this is not purely a retail DeFi story. When JPMorgan and Fidelity are building on your infrastructure, the demand base is more durable than typical crypto-native integrations.

Bitcoin's Quantum Scare Already Priced In, Says Bernstein

Bitcoin's approximately 50% pullback is seen as reflecting market concern over quantum computing risks.

Google research has revived debate, but developers are believed to have several years to respond.

The main hurdle is coordinating adoption of new standards, not building the technology itself.

Bitcoin's downturn appears to have already accounted for much of the uncertainty surrounding quantum computing, according to Bernstein analysts. The asset's approximately 50% fall from its October 2025 peak of US$126,198 (AU$178,180) is seen as evidence that investors have priced in multiple emerging risks. Despite heightened concern, the firm argues that the threat remains manageable in the near term.

Interest in the issue has grown following findings from Google researchers on the capabilities of future quantum systems. Their analysis suggests that, in theory, a Bitcoin private key could be broken in about nine minutes using advanced quantum hardware. Such projections have prompted renewed scrutiny over how quickly Bitcoin must evolve its security model.
