Binance Hack: Why Bitcoin Didn't Crash Like It Did in 2018
Bitcoin is down about 4% a day after the biggest crypto hack on record. In March 2018, a failed attack on the same exchange knocked nearly 11% off its price in minutes, and Binance said at the time that no funds had been stolen. Binance has confirmed yesterday's attack, and Chainalysis and TRM Labs put the theft at roughly $6.4 billion, more than four times the previous record hack: the $1.5 billion Bybit heist of February 2025.

Those sizes match the mixer's fixed deposit pools, which let users pull funds out later from fresh addresses and...

The XRP Ledger is patching its new lending feature before a single loan has been written on it, adding a second code amendment to repair the system while it waits in the network’s approval queue. The ledger’s lending protocol, a DeFi building block that enables on-chain, fixed-term, uncollateralized loans drawn from pooled funds, was introduced through an amendment called LendingProtocol that is still open for validator voting.

JPMorgan's JPM Coin Arrives on Ethereum, Putting Bank Dollars on a Public Blockchain
JPMorgan Chase is putting JPM Coin on Ethereum, which gives its biggest clients a way to move dollars in seconds on a Sunday night as easily as on a Tuesday morning. A normal wire between banks only moves during business hours and can take days to land, which is why JPMorgan started experimenting with blockchain technology. The idea is using JPM Coin to cut that wait to seconds. Myriad: Where does Ethereum go next? Click to make your prediction. The token is a deposit token, so each unit stands...
