An address poisoning attack caused a user to lose $100,000 in USDT, which the attacker has since converted into ETH

Odaily讯 According to Cyvers Alert monitoring, an Address Poisoning attack incident has been detected, resulting in the victim losing approximately $100,000 in USDT. The attacker carried out the "address poisoning" against the victim's wallet about 66 days ago by sending a transaction to create a malicious address record resembling an address the victim normally interacts with. Today, the victim failed to verify the full wallet address and mistakenly transferred funds to the attacker's address.Following the incident, in order to avoid potential freezing risks, the attacker has converted the stolen USDT into ETH, and the wallet currently holds approximately 52.8 ETH.Cyvers reminds users to always fully verify wallet addresses when making on-chain transfers, and to avoid relying solely on address records from transaction history. Meanwhile, security agencies recommend adopting AI-based on-chain security tools for real-time detection of abnormal transaction behavior, in order to reduce risks such as address poisoning and phishing attacks. Address poisoning attacks have become one of the common fraud methods in the crypto asset space in recent years. Attackers typically exploit users' habit of copying addresses from historical transactions by forging similar-looking addresses to trick users into transferring assets mistakenly.

Arthur Hayes: US and Japan Will Jointly Print Money to Depress USD/JPY, Bitcoin Will Enjoy Liquidity Dividend

据 BitMEX 联合创始人、Maelstrom 首席投资官 Arthur Hayes 在其 Substack 专栏发文,美国财政部长贝森特(Bessent)已公开呼吁扩大美联储 FIMA(外国及国际货币当局)回购便利机制,允许日本财务省(MOF)将其持有的美国国债作为抵押,从美联储借入美元,再将美元兑换为日元,从而在不抛售美债的前提下实现日元升值。 Hayes 认为,这一机制本质上是美联储直接印钞,其规模上限取决于日本政府及 GPIF(日本政府养老金投资基金)合计约 1.37 万亿美元的美债持仓。一旦美联储外汇货币小组委员会(Foreign Currency Subcommittee)召开会议并修改 FIMA 规则,这一"印钞开关"即可启动,且无需国会批准或公开听证。 Hayes 指出,日元廉价时代已近尾声,新一轮美元流动性扩张将推动比特币、黄金及黄金矿企股价上涨。他特别点名以太坊(ETH)为"大市值沉睡标的",并看好 Ethena(ENA)在比特币价格回升后有望实现 5 倍涨幅。目前 Maelstrom 已重仓比特币,并等待 FIMA 规则修改落地后进一步加仓。

South Korean Virtual Asset Market "Reverse Kimchi Premium" Phenomenon Continues to Intensify

According to Yonhap News, the phenomenon of "reverse Kimchi premium" in South Korea's virtual asset market has continued to intensify since the beginning of this year. According to monitoring by on-chain data platform CryptoQuant, the average Bitcoin Kimchi premium index in early August was -0.48%, and the Ethereum average was -0.49%, meaning domestic prices were lower than those on overseas exchanges. Of the 221 days this year, the number of days with a reverse Bitcoin Kimchi premium reached 123, marking the first time since CryptoQuant began tracking this data in July 2020 that it exceeded the number of days with a positive premium. The record for the longest consecutive streak was also recently broken—from June 20 to July 24 this year, a reverse premium was recorded for 35 consecutive days, surpassing the previous historical record of 23 days. Analysts noted that the continued expansion of the reverse Kimchi premium mainly stems from three factors: first, the South Korean stock market has continued to strengthen, attracting a large number of investors to shift away from the crypto market; second, tighter regulations have prevented new services such as derivatives from being launched, suppressing the inflow of new funds; third, the crypto asset taxation policy is about to be implemented, further depressing investment attractiveness.
