The KelpDAO cross-chain bridge was drained of 292 million dollars over a weekend. A surgically precise attack, attributed by LayerZero to the notorious North Korean Lazarus group. However, behind this spectacular hack lies a design flaw that no one wanted to fix.
Bitcoin is about to face a decisive test. The expiration of $7.9 billion in options places the market at a rarely reached tension point, where every move can be amplified.

Bitmine makes a big move and buys 101,627 ETH, its largest transaction since 2025. With 4.12% of Ethereum's total supply already in hand, the company is approaching its goal: holding 5% of ETH. A bold strategy that could disrupt the crypto market.

The X case has reached a new level. What initially was a French investigation into Elon Musk's platform has now taken the form of a political showdown between Paris and Washington. The submitted text already highlights this rising tension around X.
Artificial intelligence no longer merely coexists with cryptos, it redefines their very foundations. In 2025, 40 cents of every dollar invested in venture capital in the crypto sector landed in companies combining AI and digital assets. One year earlier, this ratio was only 18 cents. The shift is brutal. And it is accelerating.
