According to Dark Web Informer, the decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket is suspected of having been hacked. The threat actor “xorcat” posted over 300,000 data records and a corresponding exploit toolkit on a well-known cybercrime forum. The data extraction occurred on April 27, 2026. Reportedly, the attacker extracted data via an undisclosed API endpoint, pagination bypasses, and misconfigured CORS settings in Polymarket Gamma and the CLOB API. The leaked data includes: - Full personal information for 10,000 users (including names, proxy wallets, and base addresses); - 4,111 comments; - 1,000 moderation reports (including 58 ETH addresses and administrator authentication address identifiers); - Metadata for 48,536 Gamma markets; - Constant-product market maker addresses for over 250,000 active CLOB markets; and - Social graph data for 9,000 followers. The toolkit contains proof-of-concept code for multiple vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-62718 (Axios NO_PROXY bypass, CVSS 9.9, enabling server-side request forgery), CVE-2024-51479 (Next.js middleware authentication bypass, CVSS 7.5), and the aforementioned CORS misconfigurations. Additionally, the toolkit includes automated continuous data-extraction scripts and a comprehensive red-team report (including M
LayerZero Labs announced on platform X that it has committed over 10,000 ETH in support to DeFi United, led by Aave. Specific actions include donating 5,000 ETH to DeFi United, depositing 5,000 ETH into the Aave market to enhance liquidity, and deepening GHO liquidity.
AAVE has announced the technical implementation plan for the rsETH recovery, proposing a three-phase repair process involving supplementing ETH collateral, cleaning up affected positions, and restoring market parameters, aiming to restore full collateral support for rsETH and resume normal market operations.The plan indicates that DeFi United has coordinated to secure the necessary ETH commitment for the recovery. It will restore rsETH support by batch-converting and injecting into the bridge lockup contract. Simultaneously, it proposes clearing affected positions on Aave and Compound through a governance proposal, recovering approximately 107,000 rsETH in related excess collateral, and gradually lifting the frozen status of the relevant assets.
according to official sources, a new proposal has been launched on Compound. It aims to participate in the rsETH recovery initiative coordinated by DeFi United, with a maximum contribution of 3,000 ETH.The proposal states that although Compound's direct exposure is expected to be limited, this move is intended to support the stability of the DeFi market and enhance ecosystem resilience and long-term sustainability.
Circle Ventures, Consensys, and Joseph Lubin have announced their support for the DeFi United initiative, aimed at mitigating losses caused by the Kelp DAO vulnerability. Circle Ventures is supporting the ecosystem by purchasing AAVE tokens. Consensys and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin have confirmed the provision of 30,000 ETH to DeFi United. To date, DeFi United has raised over 132,000 ETH, with a total value exceeding $300 million. These funds will be used to cover bad debts resulting from an attacker minting unbacked rsETH via the LayerZero bridge and borrowing assets on Aave. Previously, Aave proposed a donation of 25,000 ETH, while Lido DAO, Ether.fi, and Kelp have respectively proposed or pledged donations of 2,500 ETH, 5,000 ETH, and 2,000 ETH.
According to CoinDesk, Fidelity Digital Assets released its “Q2 Signals Report 2026” on April 28, noting that although the crypto market as a whole remained in consolidation during early Q2, several underlying metrics have already shown signs of stabilization. The report states that Bitcoin’s dominance continues to rise, capital is flowing steadily into the most liquid assets, and both the unrealized profit level and momentum indicators align with characteristics typical of a correction phase—potentially laying the groundwork for a more stable market structure going forward. Meanwhile, network usage for Ethereum and Solana has diverged from their respective price trends, suggesting robust demand at the protocol layer. The report also notes that Bitcoin futures continue to exhibit negative funding rates; research firm 10x interprets this as reflecting institutional structural hedging behavior—not a broad bearish signal.
A research report released by a16z Crypto states that stablecoins have evolved from niche trading tools into the foundational layer of a new global financial infrastructure, giving rise to a new generation of “Banking-as-a-Service” (BaaS) models. Unlike the previous wave of BaaS, this new model is built on onchain infrastructure and integrates account management, payments, foreign exchange, and credit functions via self-custodial wallets—significantly reducing reliance on traditional intermediaries. The report classifies blockchains into three categories: general-purpose public chains (e.g., Solana and Ethereum), purpose-built chains optimized for payment use cases (e.g., Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc), and compliance-focused networks designed for regulated institutions (e.g., Canton). On the regulatory front, following the passage of the GENIUS Act, stablecoin issuers are competing aggressively for national trust charters from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), aiming to gain direct access to the Federal Reserve’s payment rails and secure a central position within the payments stack. The report also notes that stablecoins have made significant progress in the “middle mile” of cross-border payments; however, liquidity bottlenecks between stablecoins and local fiat currencies remain unresolved in emerging markets. Looking ahead, as stablecoin scale grows, the onchain credit market is poised to become the next major opportunity after payments—providing capital to borrowers underserved by traditional financial systems. Moreover, the widespread adoption of stablecoins is expected to further reinforce the U.S. dollar’s global dominance.
According to The Block, Bernstein analysts stated in their latest report that the fundamentals of the crypto market are continuously improving. Bitcoin’s recent low of $60,000 has formed a clear bottom, and with the current price approaching $80,000, a longer-term structural bull market is likely, driven by institutional demand. Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani highlighted the following key drivers: • Ongoing expansion of institutional channels: Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF and Charles Schwab’s spot Bitcoin/Ethereum trading platform have both recently launched; approximately 60% of Bitcoin supply has remained unmoved for over one year, indicating a stabilizing holder structure; • Persistent accumulation by Strategy: Its STRC perpetual preferred stock product has attracted yield-oriented investors, and its current holdings stand at 818,334 BTC; • Stablecoin demand hits an all-time high: Stablecoin supply has surpassed $30 billion, decoupling from the crypto market’s price cycle and reflecting sustained real-world payment and settlement demand; • Tokenized real-world assets accelerating growth: Tokenized private credit and Treasury assets now total $34.5 billion, representing a 110% year-on-year increase. Bernstein also cautioned that quantum computing poses a long-term potential risk, though it expects the blockchain ecosystem to have ample time to complete the transition to post-quantum security.
Aave officially posted on X, stating that Ethereum development company Consensys and its founder Joseph Lubin have joined the DeFi United initiative, providing up to 30,000 ETH in financial support for the rsETH recovery effort, with Sharplink continuing to offer strategic advisory support.

According to CoinDesk, while quantum computers cannot break Bitcoin’s mining mechanism or blockchain ledger, they could potentially crack the elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) that secures wallet ownership—using Shor’s algorithm. Currently, approximately 6.9 million BTC—roughly one-third of the total supply—are at potential risk because their public keys are already visible on-chain; this includes Satoshi Nakamoto’s estimated early holdings of about 1 million BTC. Transactions generated after Ethereum’s 2021 Taproot upgrade are similarly exposed due to public key disclosure. Ethereum has maintained an official post-quantum migration plan since 2018, with four full-time teams and over ten independent development groups, and operates a dedicated progress website at pq.ethereum.org. In contrast, Bitcoin currently lacks a unified roadmap for quantum resistance: existing proposals such as BIP-360 and BitMEX Research’s detection framework have not gained broad support among core developers. Prominent Bitcoin advocate Nic Carter has bluntly labeled Bitcoin’s quantum response “the worst,” while Blockstream CEO Adam Back acknowledges that current quantum systems remain confined to laboratory settings—but still endorses deploying optional upgrade paths in advance. Analysts note that Bitcoin’s decentralized governance culture makes coordinating large-scale security upgrades extremely difficult, and resolving historical issues—such as how to handle Satoshi’s holdings—presents a particularly thorny dilemma. A related Google paper warns that once quantum attacks become feasible, the window for effective response may already have closed.
According to Odaily, independent researcher Giancarlo Lelli was awarded the Q-Day Prize and 1 Bitcoin by quantum security startup Project Eleven for successfully cracking the encryption keys protecting Bitcoin. Giancarlo Lelli utilized publicly available quantum hardware and a variant of Shor's algorithm to crack a 15-bit encryption key among 32,767 possibilities. The difficulty of this quantum attack is 512 times greater than the 6-bit key record set in September 2025. Project Eleven CEO Alex Pruden stated that the resource requirements for such attacks continue to decline, with approximately 6.9 million Bitcoins currently held in vulnerable static addresses, including 1 million Bitcoins owned by Satoshi Nakamoto. The Bitcoin network has proposed BIP-360 to introduce quantum-resistant address types, while platforms such as Ethereum, Ripple, and Tron have also begun releasing plans for transitioning to post-quantum defenses.
Aave posted on platform X, stating that its service provider has published an Aave DAO governance proposal. The proposal suggests allocating 25,000 ETH to participate in the ongoing "DeFi United" initiative. This ETH allocation will be used to support the asset backing of rsETH, helping it restore its peg as soon as possible and promoting the normalization of market conditions. This proposal aims to accelerate the risk management process for rsETH and stabilize the related DeFi market ecosystem through financial support at the Aave DAO level.
Ethereum developer Tom Lehman published the draft proposal EIP-8182, aiming to natively support private transfers on Ethereum by introducing a shared privacy pool, a fixed-address system contract, and zero-knowledge proof verification precompiles at the Ethereum protocol layer. The proposal states that the solution will be deployed via a hard fork upgrade—without administrator keys, governance tokens, or on-chain upgrade mechanisms—intended to address fragmented anonymity sets and inconsistent trust models across privacy applications. As designed, users will be able to conduct private transfers from their existing wallets to any Ethereum address or ENS name, and support atomic workflows such as “de-anonymize → interact → re-anonymize.”
According to GlobeNewswire, Fere AI, an AI-powered digital asset trading agent platform, has announced the completion of a $1.3 million funding round led by Ethereal Ventures, with participation from Galaxy Vision Hill and Kosmos Ventures. The platform supports cross-chain networks including Ethereum, Solana, and Base, enabling users to describe their trading objectives in natural language—AI agents then execute the trades. The new funds will be used to accelerate platform feature development and optimize trading execution strategies.
According to The Block, OSL Group has announced a partnership with Circle’s affiliated entities to expand USDC integration across its payment and trading platforms. Through OSL Global, users can exchange USD for USDC at a 1:1 ratio and trade BTC, ETH, SOL, USD, and USDT pairs in a dedicated USDC trading zone. Meanwhile, OSL has adopted USDC as its unified margin asset and integrated USDC into its payment services to support compliant digital dollar settlement and payment use cases. OSL also stated that it plans to support Circle’s tokenized money market fund, USYC, subject to regulatory requirements and platform eligibility criteria.
According to the official announcement, Binance Wallet has launched Agentic Wallet—a dedicated, non-custodial wallet for AI Agents—enabling users to authorize AI Agents to execute trades, transfers, and asset management within customizable rule sets. Created under the user’s Binance account, Agentic Wallet features an independent balance, configurable permissions, real-time monitoring capabilities, and asset isolation from the main wallet. Agentic Wallet is already supported on the BNB Smart Chain, Solana, Ethereum, and Base, and relevant Skills have been pre-integrated by default for Binance Ai Pro users. Additionally, Binance Wallet has simultaneously launched a time-limited gas fee sponsorship program and zero service fee campaign.
KelpDAO announced that, since April 18, it has been coordinating with Aave and ecosystem partners to restore rsETH holdings for rsETH holders. The initial shortfall from this incident was 163,200 ETH. To date, Kelp has recovered 40,300 rsETH—approximately 43,000 ETH—and the Arbitrum Security Council has separately secured 30,700 ETH. The remaining shortfall stands at approximately 89,500 ETH. Kelp stated that, of this remaining shortfall, Mantle, Stani Kulechov, EtherFi, Lido, and Golem have publicly committed to contributing a total of 43,500 ETH, and Kelp is working with these partners to formalize those contributions. Kelp emphasized that rsETH holders are the top priority.
According to the Belarusian state news agency BELTA, Alexander Yegorov, First Deputy Chairman of the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus, revealed at the “Digital Banking–2026” conference that Belarus has adopted Decree No. 19, formally establishing a regulatory framework for crypto banks. Under the decree, crypto banks will support 26 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), TON (Toncoin), Solana (SOL), and multiple stablecoins. They will also be authorized to conduct 11 types of operations, such as crypto deposits, crypto lending, crypto staking, crypto collateralization, crypto transfers, issuance of proprietary tokens, and crypto storage and exchange. Yegorov stated that the current list of supported cryptocurrencies and permitted operations is not final and will be continuously updated and refined in response to investor demand and emerging ideas.
Stani Kulechov, founder and CEO of Aave, disclosed that he personally contributed 5,000 ETH to DeFi United and stated that he is actively working with partners to secure additional funding commitments. His goal is to resolve the current issues as soon as possible and restore normal market conditions. Stani emphasized that Aave is his life’s work and that the team is fully committed to identifying the best possible solution for users.
