Odaily News: Bitget posted on X platform that the vulnerability involved in the September 24 security incident has been identified and fixed. The team is conducting additional verification and security checks on the withdrawal infrastructure, with Mandiant and SlowMist continuing to assist with the investigation. The temporary suspension of withdrawals is a security measure and is unrelated to the availability of user assets; user account balances have not been affected, and the Bitget Protection Fund will cover the financial impact of this platform-wide incident.Bitget plans to resume withdrawals in phases: Bitcoin network withdrawals will resume on September 28 at 8:00 (UTC); ETH withdrawals on the Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism networks will resume on September 29 at 8:00 (UTC); USDT withdrawals on the Ethereum, BSC, Solana, and Tron networks will resume on September 30 at 8:00 (UTC); other tokens, fiat, and P2P withdrawals will resume on October 2 at 8:00 (UTC).

Odaily report: According to RevokeCash monitoring, if users have previously traded NFTs on the Magic Eden Ethereum marketplace, their wallets may have granted approval to Limit Break's Payment Processor contract; this contract currently has a known vulnerability, and it is recommended to revoke the approval. Magic Eden previously stated that NFTs currently still listed on its platform are not affected by this vulnerability; NFTs listed through its EVM marketplace between approximately February 2024 and October 2024 may be affected, while listings after October 2024 are in principle not affected. Magic Eden is contacting protocol owner and maintainer Limit Break to study other risk mitigation measures, including pausing protocol transfers, and continues to investigate the actual scope of impact.Users who have previously listed or traded NFTs on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace should revoke the relevant contract approvals on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base networks, and revoke all NFT approvals marked as "approved for all." Yuga Labs Blockchain Vice President Quit stated that the asset claim website for the Payment Processor vulnerability NFT theft incident has officially launched; affected users whose NFTs were successfully safeguarded can now claim, but must first revoke their approval to the Payment Processor.
Magic Eden clarified on the X platform that Payment Processor V2, an NFT trading protocol under Limit Break, was recently exploited. Magic Eden stopped using this protocol in October 2024 and will completely shut down its EVM marketplace in Q1 2026, so this exploit did not affect existing Magic Eden listings. However, NFTs listed on the Magic Eden EVM marketplace from February to October 2024 may have been impacted, and users should revoke the "Approve for All" authorization for the contract on Ethereum, Polygon, and Base. Additionally, Magic Eden stated it is collaborating with Limit Break to investigate and seek further mitigation measures.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen posted a 12-hour progress report on the security incident on X, including:1. Affected assets include ETH, XRP (largest single-chain loss), BNB, AVAX, USDT, USDC, and other tokens. Affected chains include: Ethereum, XRP Ledger, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, BSC, and Base. All on-chain cold wallets have been confirmed secure and unaffected.2. All foundations of the affected chains have been contacted, and some foundations have confirmed the freezing of the hacker's wallet addresses.3. Based on IP behavioral characteristics and on-chain analysis, the attack methodology is highly consistent with known patterns of North Korean hacker groups. Relevant authorities have been notified, and full cooperation is being provided for a global investigation.4. Bitget Wallet (decentralized wallet) operates completely independently from Bitget exchange infrastructure, and this incident has no impact on it. Bitget Wallet assets are completely safe.5. Transparent disclosure regarding the platform's financial status: In addition to over $464 million in protection funds (all held in publicly verifiable wallet addresses), Bitget's own assets exceed $1 billion. User funds are covered at a 1:1 ratio, and all data can be verified on-chain.6. Regarding withdrawal recovery timing: The goal is to achieve full recovery as soon as possible. Once a specific time window is confirmed, an announcement will be made immediately. No commitment will be made to timelines that cannot be fulfilled.

Monitoring by the PPP Prediction Market Tool shows that the probability on Polymarket that "Donald Trump Jr. posts about LAPTOP on X & Truth Social in September" has dropped to 30%, down 20% in 24 hours.The event rules state: if the designated person publishes qualifying written content related to Hunter Biden's Meme coin LAPTOP on X & Truth Social before 11:59 PM ET on September 30, 2026, the market resolves to "Yes"; otherwise, it resolves to "No." Merely using the word "LAPTOP" without clearly indicating the token in context does not qualify. Merely referencing Hunter Biden's LAPTOP, the Hunter Biden LAPTOP controversy, its content, related investigations, or any related events does not qualify.Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, plans to launch the Meme coin LAPTOP on the Base chain on September 9. According to the official website description, the Meme coin LAPTOP is inspired by Hunter Biden's "laptop scandal" from six years ago. That scandal also dragged then-Vice President Joe Biden into a massive storm.Join the PPP Signal Push Community to stay ahead of the curve and seize opportunities first.
According to Cryptopolitan, the latest data from Token Terminal indicates that the total supply of euro-denominated stablecoins reached $848.1 million on September 7, reflecting a year-to-date growth of approximately 22.6%, or a net increase of around $156 million. During the same period, US dollar stablecoins saw a net increase of merely $159 million; however, their base stands at $298.5 billion, making it 350 times larger than the euro stablecoin market. Regarding market concentration, EURC and EURCV collectively account for 82% of the euro stablecoin supply. EURCV, issued by SG-Forge—a digital asset subsidiary of Société Générale—holds a MiCA-compliant license and represents 19.6% of the market, marking it as the first stablecoin primarily backed by a licensed European bank subsidiary. On-chain distribution shows that Ethereum captured approximately $125 million in new issuances year-to-date, claiming a 69.4% market share, while Solana added around $30 million, securing 14.7%. Combined, these two chains accounted for nearly all annual growth. Conversely, Base witnessed a contraction, declining from $73.9 million to $58.7 million. Analysts point out that the expansion of euro stablecoins is predominantly supply-driven by issuers rather than demand-pulled by users. Liquidity for euro pairs within DeFi lending pools and perpetual contracts remains sparse, indicating that the supply-demand imbalance has yet to be resolved.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, will launch a meme coin named LAPTOP, referencing his laptop incident, scheduled to go live on Coinbase’s Base network on September 9. The project’s founding team, including Hunter Biden, will hold 30% of the total token supply (1 billion tokens), which will be locked for six months and fully unlocked over two years. Another 20% will be airdropped in two batches to users who previously suffered losses on the Trump meme coin TRUMP, Hunter Biden’s Substack subscribers and their friends, and mailing list subscribers maintained by video journalist Andrew Callaghan. The remaining 20% will be allocated to charitable donations, liquidity provisions, distribution to exchange partners and market makers, and to cover the accounting, legal, administrative, and compliance costs of the token foundation.
Odaily News - Echo Base, an institution focused on stable digital asset companies, assisted in forming the BitMart Creditors' Committee on September 2 to represent users holding frozen assets, and has retained legal counsel to evaluate recovery options, including filing for unfunded bankruptcy proceedings.On August 6, Echo Base proposed a funding package of up to $10 million to support BitMart in filing a pre-negotiated bankruptcy application, but received no response from BitMart. Echo Base stated that its actions stem from BitMart's failure to respond to the restructuring proposal and users' withdrawal requests.Sonn Law Group has launched an investigation into users with frozen assets of $500,000 or more on BitMart, assessing potential claims and asset recovery options. Echo Base CEO Roshan Dharia stated that BitMart's employee plan can only sustain operations until January 2027, and the longer the delay, the fewer viable options remain. (Bitcoin.com News)
Crypto KOL 0xSun released an analysis of the JINQIAN/FAMI event that unfolded tonight. An unidentified project team issued the FAMI token on-chain (without compliance backing and with the liquidity pool not locked) and paired it with the meme coin JINQIAN. Since the underlying stock itself carries an extremely low market capitalization, on-chain sentiment triggered a frantic buying spree among retail investors for JINQIAN, which drove up the price of FAMI in the pool. Some retail investors even purchased the underlying stock directly, causing its share price to rally accordingly. 0xSun pointed out that this incident closely mirrors the early Base chain meme coin Bald—both featured unlocked liquidity pools and were entirely devoid of deterministic logic throughout the process. Yet, the final outcome heavily aligned with the ideal trajectory of an "on-chain coin-stock short squeeze," making it a textbook case of "a completely flawed process yielding a perfectly correct result." He warned investors that the certainty surrounding such projects is exceptionally low. Participants must independently weigh the trade-off between "upside potential × probability of good faith" and "total loss × probability of malice," as there is absolutely no 100% certainty guaranteed behind any excess returns.
According to Circle's official blog, Circle's cross-chain infrastructure CCTP has officially expanded support for native cross-chain transfers of the euro stablecoin EURC. EURC operates on the same "burn-and-mint" model as USDC, with initial cross-chain settlement support between Ethereum and Base. Developers can transfer both USDC and EURC via a single unified interface without connecting to multiple bridge providers, effectively reducing integration complexity and enhancing liquidity efficiency. EURC is issued by a regulated affiliate of Circle, while CCTP does not hold or manage user assets.
: Coinbase announced that its tokenized stocks have been natively launched on the Base chain, built on the B20 standard, with the underlying stocks actually held on a 1:1 basis by regulated custodian Alpaca through a bankruptcy-remote structure. Token holders directly own the corresponding stock ownership. Non-US users in globally compliant jurisdictions only need a wallet and an internet connection to gain US equity exposure without a brokerage account or waiting for settlement, and can trade in a 7×24 AMM pool. The first batch supports companies such as Apple and Nvidia. Tokenized stocks can be freely held, transferred, and traded, with no whitelisted wallets or platform lock-ups. Users can use tokenized Nvidia stock as collateral to borrow on Aave, or deposit Apple stock into a decentralized exchange to earn yield. Dividends and stock splits are handled through an on-chain multiplier mechanism. Ecosystem projects such as Aerodrome and Aave have publicly supported the B20 standard. Coinbase stated that more tokenized stocks will be listed in the coming weeks, and it will continue to bring other real-world assets on-chain.
Odaily News: Sheldon Lee, founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMart, stated that a post on X claiming users were unable to withdraw funds and that some employees had not received their July salaries is a "fabricated rumor," adding that the exchange's Chinese-language account had been hacked. Critics, including users and on-chain investigator ZachXBT, have demanded that BitMart resume withdrawals or undergo an independent third-party audit. BitMart is gradually winding down operations, with the final trading day set for August 26. Troubled investment firm Echo Base said it had proposed a funded restructuring plan to BitMart but received no response. The firm warned that resolving a large volume of customer claims may require proceedings through the courts. (CoinDesk)

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has responded to recent controversy surrounding his X account profile picture change and claims that the Base community is "unsupported." He thanked the community for their feedback and acknowledged that his previous communication regarding expectations was not clear enough. Users should not interpret the content of his personal X account as investment advice or signals for individual tokens. He stated that he simply shares internet content he finds interesting or amusing, and may not even be aware whether such content is associated with any particular token or project. He pointed out that his tweets and profile picture changes do not represent endorsements of or commitments to any project.Regarding support for the Base ecosystem, Brian Armstrong explained that Base aims to build financial services infrastructure, supporting various application scenarios including stock tokenization, lending protocols, stablecoin payments, and Meme coin trading. Coinbase supports users in freely trading assets but will not use its official influence to "pump" or promote specific tokens. Both Coinbase and the Base team are indeed subject to compliance and regulatory restrictions, preventing them from listing certain tokens on the centralized exchange and from marketing specific projects at the community's request.Base currently supports ecosystem development primarily through offline Base Batches events, developer grant programs, and investments from Coinbase Ventures and the Base Ecosystem Fund. Additionally, based on long-term user value assessment, Coinbase may integrate certain Base ecosystem DeFi protocols into its own products to help projects expand distribution.Brian Armstrong stated that Coinbase will continue to prioritize projects capable of creating long-term user value in the future, and expressed hope that this clarification will help the community set clearer expectations. He added that he may still continue to post Meme content he finds interesting, but such content will not constitute investment advice.
