According to on-chain analyst Ember (@EmberCN), a whale opened a long position of 1.38 million HYPE tokens (approximately $62.13 million) at the $38.6 high in November last year. As the price subsequently fell to a low of $20.5, the whale’s unrealized loss peaked at $26 million.

According to an official disclosure by Hyperbridge, the losses from the Token Gateway vulnerability incident on April 13 have been revised upward from an initial estimate of $237,000 to approximately $2.5 million. The increase stems primarily from losses incurred in incentive pools on Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Arbitrum. The attacker extracted roughly 245 ETH from related contracts, then bypassed the MMR proof verification mechanism by forging cross-chain messages, minting 1 billion bridged DOT tokens and dumping them onto illiquid markets. Currently, some of the stolen funds have been traced on-chain to Binance. Hyperbridge is collaborating with Binance’s compliance team and law enforcement agencies to investigate the incident. Polkadot-native DOT and products such as Intent Gateway remain unaffected. The Token Gateway and bridged DOT contracts on the four affected EVM chains remain suspended. An external audit of the patched MMR verification logic is underway, and bridging functionality will be restored upon completion of the audit.

Odaily News U.S. President Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Powell are set to face off over a key question: whether the incumbent Powell has the right to remain in his position if Trump fails to secure timely confirmation for his chosen successor, Kevin Warsh. Warsh is scheduled to appear before the Senate Banking Committee hearing next Tuesday, but he may struggle to obtain congressional approval before Powell's term as Chair expires on May 15.Trump stated on Wednesday that he would fire Powell if the Fed Chair does not step down "on time," and the likelihood of a direct confrontation between Trump and Powell will increase if Warsh cannot be confirmed soon. This controversy arises as Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for not yielding to his demands for interest rate cuts, calling the Fed Chair an "idiot" and a "stubborn mule" for refusing to lower borrowing costs.Analysts suggest that as the possibility of Powell remaining as a Fed Governor rises following Trump's latest attack, Trump's strategy could potentially undermine Warsh's efforts to reshape the central bank.

Odaily News Bitcoin rose to around $74,935 during Asian trading hours, gaining 0.7% in the past 24 hours and 5.4% for the week. However, the derivatives market is sending mixed signals. Institutional firm QCP Capital noted that this rally is primarily driven by spot buying, not a broad-based recovery in risk appetite. Currently, Bitcoin perpetual futures funding rates remain negative, and open interest is declining, indicating that shorts are still adding hedges rather than being forced to liquidate.The options market also leans cautious: short-term implied volatility is subdued, with the one-month tenor lower than the three-month, and risk reversal indicators show market demand for downside protection exceeds that for upside bets, suggesting traders are more willing to pay for potential declines than to chase gains. QCP believes this looks more like a "rebound" than a trend reversal.On the macro front, long-term U.S. Treasury yields and gold prices have not confirmed a recovery in risk appetite. Gold remains near its highs, indicating persistent safe-haven demand. Institutions point out that the current market action is more of a "sentiment repair" driven by ceasefire expectations, rather than a resolution of core risks.Furthermore, Ethereum has shown relative strength, with the ETH/BTC ratio recovering to around 0.0315. Coupled with on-chain transaction volume and stablecoin supply reaching all-time highs, this suggests signs of capital rotation into higher-beta assets. However, the market still needs to observe the evolution of subsequent risk events to confirm the sustainability of this rally. (CoinDesk)
Odaily News According to a CryptoQuant report, Bitcoin is facing "short-term selling pressure" after rebounding above $76,000. Data shows that during Tuesday's price increase, the amount of Bitcoin flowing into exchanges surged significantly, with hourly inflows once rising to 11,000 BTC, the highest level since December last year.CryptoQuant pointed out that the increase in the scale and speed of exchange inflows has historically been seen as a key early warning signal for short-term selling pressure, indicating that some holders are transferring assets to exchanges in preparation for selling. Meanwhile, the average single deposit size rose to 2.25 BTC, hitting a new high since July 2024 and approaching levels seen before the market peaked in January this year.In terms of price action, TradingView data shows that Bitcoin on Coinbase once touched $76,052, reaching a new high since early February. However, the report suggests that as the price approaches the realized price of $76,800, this level could become a ceiling for the rebound, as investors near their break-even point may be inclined to sell, thereby limiting further upside.Furthermore, the current profit-taking is still in its early stages, with daily realized profits around $500 million, which is below the $1 billion threshold typically associated with interim tops. If the price rises further into the $76,000 to $76,800 range, the scale of profits could expand, thereby intensifying selling pressure and increasing the probability of a pullback or consolidation.

CryptoQuant stated that as Bitcoin surged above $76,000, a large volume of BTC is flowing into cryptocurrency exchanges, indicating “short-term selling pressure” in the market. Data shows the hourly inflow to exchanges spiked to 11,000 BTC—the highest level since December last year—while the average deposit size rose to 2.25 BTC, the largest since July 2024. CryptoQuant noted that the realized price near $76,800 could act as a resistance level for this rally, as traders nearing their break-even points may have stronger incentives to sell.
