    Poloniex, a crypto exchange owned by Tron founder Justin Sun, has seen more than $126 million worth of crypto assets exit one of its wallets as the result of a "hack incident." The transfers were first flagged by blockchain security firm Peckshield; blockchain explorer Etherscan shows a series of transfers from the "Poloniex 4" wallet to the hacker's wallet, including ETH, TRON, the stablecoins USDT and TUSD, and meme coins including PEPE, FLOKI, and SHIB.

    Attendees of Bored Ape Yacht Club's ApeFest concert have reported experiencing extreme eye pain that's prompted some of them to visit the hospital. "To all my friends who suffer now: go get your eyes checked.

    Stablecoin Supply Has Bottomed Out—Is It Bullish for Crypto?

    Notable crypto talking heads are calling it: there's now only one way things can go. “I believe that the supply of stables has bottomed and will be Up Only from here,” tweeted Nic Carter. After dropping for most of 2023, the total supply of all stablecoins appears to have stalled. But why? Instead of stablecoin holders pulling their digital dollars from the market (and redeeming real dollars), they’re doing the opposite. “For the first time in two years, we are actually seeing inflows,” wrote Tw...

    After flying high the last few weeks, it now looks like Solana is headed back down to Earth. SOL is down almost 6% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading hands at around $39.82, per CoinGecko. The bearish move comes amid some hefty SOL transfers from FTX-linked Solana addresses, per data from Solana block explorer Solscan.

    Popular memecoins haven't been left out of the latest rally alongside heavyweight assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Topping the list is the frog-themed Pepecoin, which has enjoyed an overnight rally of almost 14%. PEPE is still worth fractions of a penny, though, trading hands now at $0.00000120 per CoinGecko, meaning that 84 million PEPE tokens are only really worth $100. Over the week that rise is much steeper, too; the cryptocurrency has soared a whopping 90% since last Thursday. Pepecoin, as...

    The queue for adding new staking validators on Ethereum briefly hit zero yesterday. It's now risen again to 996 validators, but it's still a far cry from its peak on June 10, when over 96,500 validators faced a waiting period of over 45 days, per Beaconcha.in data. In broad strokes, the slowdown suggests a dwindling appetite for staking Ethereum. Validators are responsible for proposing and validating new blocks on a proof-of-stake blockchain like Ethereum. In return, they receive a reward for t...
