  • $BTC is down. As of now, $BTC is trading at $73,807 and $ETH is trading at $2,262. Bitcoin dominance stands at 59.86%.

  • Kelp DAO’s rsETH bridge on LayerZero was exploited via a forged cross-chain message that enabled the unauthorized minting of ~116,500 rsETH (around $292M) to an attacker-controlled wallet. The attacker used these unbacked tokens as collateral to borrow ETH across DeFi platforms, including Aave, raising bad debt risks and triggering precautionary market pauses.

  • A few other headlines include: Web3 hosting backbone Vercel confirmed a breach, with the alleged hacker demanding a $2 million ransom, and the RaveDAO team denied involvement in the RAVE token pump as Binance and Bitget opened investigations.

  • During the last 24 hours, the top three gainers were $PIEVERSE, $BTSE, and $DEXE, while the top three losers were $RAVE, $GENIUS, and $SIREN.
