The week starts in the red—it's a bloodbath for crypto. Ethereum, Solana, and the market are plunging. Even Bitcoin isn't spared.
Amid revolutionary announcements, technological evolutions, and regulatory turbulence, the crypto ecosystem continues to prove that it is both a territory of limitless innovations and a battlefield of regulatory and economic conflicts. Here is a summary of the most significant news from the past week surrounding Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance, Solana, and Ripple.
Bybit's CEO, Ben Zhou, recently addressed the issue of a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain following the hack carried out by the Lazarus group on February 21, 2025. This hack resulted in the theft of 489,395 ETH, amounting to approximately $1.4 billion, spread across 54 wallets. During a session on X on February 22, Zhou discussed various measures to recover the stolen funds, including the possibility of a rollback of the Ethereum blockchain.

The security of exchange platforms is a central issue in the crypto universe. A new attack has highlighted the increased vulnerability of the sector: Bybit, one of the most influential exchanges, suffered an exceptionally large hack, with an estimated loss of 1.5 billion dollars in Ethereum. The incident sheds light on the complexity of attacks targeting crypto infrastructures, as well as the challenges platforms face in protecting their users' funds. According to initial investigations, the attack is attributed to the Lazarus group, a cybercriminal organization affiliated with North Korea, already responsible for several massive hijackings in the sector. Bybit claims it can cover the losses, but the event raises questions about the resilience of exchanges in the face of growing threats.
