Tether and Circle have blacklisted the relevant wallets, freezing $318,000 worth of USDT and USDC.Gracy Chen stated that preliminary investigations indicate the attack may match VPN addresses used by North Korea-linked groups, but Bitget has not yet fully ruled out the possibility of an insider job.

DeFi 研究员 Ignas 发文表示，自己原本担心代币经济学创新已经停滞，但事实并非如此。在经历一个周期的低流通量、高 FDV 代币发行后，加密行业正重新尝试新的代币机制，例如： 1、ZCAT 通过 3%转账税为持有者提供 ZEC 奖励； 2、BUN/Mosh 通过“Bundle Launch”让资金支持者分享交易手续费但无法提取 LP； 3、STONK 将手续费收入用于按市值加权回购并销毁排名前 15 的合规代币； 4、VVV/DIEM 允许质押 VVV 铸造 DIEM，再通过质押 DIEM 获得每日 AI 额度；5、ORBIO 则将交易手续费转化为质押者的 AI 额度； 6、BP 则要求质押至少 1 年以获得未来 IPO 股权转换资格，并根据项目增长里程碑决定代币供应解锁。 Ignas 认为，这些项目的共同点是尝试让代币不再只是融资工具，而是具备实际价值，不过也提醒社区许多机制仍依赖投机者持续交易，“投机”依然主导着加密市场。
