Odaily News: Cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX has announced that it will fully shut down its platform at 4:00 (UTC) on September 23, 2026. BitMEX CEO Peter Wilkinson stated that the exchange has been operating for over 11 years and has never lost customer funds due to hacker attacks during that period. Peter Wilkinson noted that BitMEX failed to keep pace with its competitors, having long focused on derivatives business while failing to offer spot trading, yield products, custody, and stablecoin trading services in a timely manner. The exchange also entered the USDT market relatively late, in 2021. He stated that BitMEX once supported its founding team in pioneering perpetual swaps, a product that has since become one of the highest-trading-volume financial instruments in the crypto industry and is now widely used for leveraged cryptocurrency trading.

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.
Odaily News: Brazil's crypto market has recorded $318.8 billion in on-chain transaction value over the past 12 months, ranking fifth globally in cryptocurrency adoption, with nearly one-third of Latin America's related activity conducted through Brazilian wallets and platforms. Blockchain security firm CertiK stated that virtual asset service providers must submit authorization applications to the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) by October 30, 2026, accompanied by independent audit reports. On November 10, 2025, the Central Bank of Brazil issued three resolutions clarifying the licensing scope, minimum capital requirements, and foreign exchange rules for virtual asset service providers. Minimum capital requirements for different license categories range from approximately R$10.8 million to R$37.2 million. Among the current approximately 120 service providers, most have not yet obtained formal licenses, and overseas operators must relocate their operations to Brazil within 270 days. Approximately 80% of Brazil's declared cryptocurrency transaction volume is settled via dollar-pegged tokens, with USDT accounting for 88.7% of that share. Total stablecoin transaction volume from 2019 to 2025 reached R$1.13 trillion. CertiK statistics show that the crypto industry suffered losses of $1.32 billion due to hacker attacks and exploit incidents in the first half of 2026, involving 344 events. (Decrypt)
据 Cointelegraph 报道，区块链初创公司 Quantus 创始人 Christopher Smith 警告称，量子计算破解现代加密技术的首个信号，可能并非高调盗取中本聪比特币，而是一系列无迹可查的钱包资产异常转移——攻击者无需入侵设备或交易所系统，仅凭链上暴露的公钥即可推算出私钥。Smith 指出，若攻击发生，"唯一的法证证据就是没有任何入侵痕迹"。 在攻击目标方面，Smith 认为加密领域最具价值的目标或为 Tether 铸币密钥，量子攻击者可凭此凭空增发 USDT 并迅速抛售套利。Blockchain Capital 安全研究员 Sean Cheetham 则认为，攻击者更可能优先针对交易所热钱包，以避免引发广泛警觉。 在时间线方面，Smith 给出 2028 年前实现量子破密的概率为"五五开"，Cheetham 认为 2030 年代初"几乎确定"会到来。Google 已于今年 3 月将后量子迁移时间表提前至 2029 年。
According to CoinDesk, the S&P 500 index has risen 3.12% this month, adding approximately $2.1 trillion in market value (equivalent to the total market cap of the entire crypto market), reaching a record high total market cap of $70.5 trillion, but Bitcoin has only risen about 2% this month, hovering near $64,600. Analysts point out that this round of stock market rise is mainly driven by AI and semiconductor individual stock narratives, rather than a broad-based recovery in risk appetite at the macro level, and Bitcoin lacks direct beneficial exposure to this. Meanwhile, the crypto market also faces multiple internal pressures: the Coldcard platform suffered a $120 million exploit, the prospects of the "Clarity Act" remain uncertain, MicroStrategy has reduced its BTC holdings for three consecutive months, and stablecoin supply continues to shrink—USDT's market cap dropped from $190 billion in April to $183 billion, and USDC's dropped from $79.5 billion to $72 billion.
According to reports from the Procuratorial Daily, an employee of a Shenzhen enterprise, under pressure from over 400,000 yuan in online loans, stole the company's core R&D data and disguised himself as an overseas hacker to demand a ransom of 0.88 Bitcoin and 90,000 USDT from the enterprise, and was ultimately sentenced to three years and three months for attempted extortion and fined 10,000 yuan.

on-chain security analyst Specter has detected that a long-dormant PancakeSwap liquidity provider (LP) suffered a loss of approximately $2.96 million after signing a malicious EIP-7702 authorization. It is reported that the attacker removed approximately $1.48 million in BSC-USD and $1.48 million in BUSD liquidity provided by the victim, subsequently swapping the BUSD for ETH. Currently, the attacker has deposited approximately $1.46 million into Tornado Cash, while the remaining $1.48 million in USDT remains in the attacker's address.
Odaily reports, according to monitoring by Onchain Lens, Allbridge Core has been exploited on Solana. The attacker borrowed $1.12 million USDC via a Kamino flash loan, then rapidly executed a USDC/USDT swap, distorting the stablecoin pool ratio of Allbridge. They withdrew liquidity at the manipulated exchange rate and repaid the flash loan within the same transaction, extracting approximately $1.1 million in funds. The funds were subsequently mixed through a privacy protocol. The maximum single withdrawal from Allbridge was $2.24 million USDC. Further analysis of the vulnerability exploit and the affected pools is ongoing.

Gate issued an announcement regarding the recent "user asset theft incident," sharing internal comprehensive verification results, analysis of the incident's cause, and progress on subsequent handling. Regarding the verification process and key facts, the announcement stated that after comprehensive verification, materials submitted by the applicant at the time, including account information, real-name information, transaction records, Alipay screen recordings, etc., matched the account completely. According to analysis by the technical team, Alipay screen recordings can only be made by the customer themselves or someone with access to the customer's Alipay account. Alipay possesses an extremely strict real-time risk control system; logging into Alipay on a different device will mandate multi-factor authentication. This indicates a situation involving serious leakage of customer information or device compromise. Regarding the Gate platform audit mechanism, the announcement stated that the Company's security unbinding audit mechanism strictly executes the four-fold verification process of "Multi-channel advance notification + System risk control preliminary screening + Manual multi-layer review + Time protection," and never has nor will it approve any security item change application based on a single material alone. Gate always takes information security and customer data protection as the Company's core management requirements. The issue of internal information leakage mentioned by some parties does not exist. Regarding fund recovery and subsequent handling, the announcement stated that Gate processed the matter with the highest priority immediately after the incident occurred, coordinating security, compliance, legal, business, and other teams to carry out on-chain analysis and asset tracking and freezing. It continues to coordinate with third-party institutions such as Tether to advance fund freezing. Subsequently, it will also actively cooperate with judicial authorities in investigations and data collection. Any substantive progress will be communicated immediately.

OdailyOdaily reports that the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine stated it has, for the first time, transferred approximately $8.3 million worth of USDT crypto assets into the national asset management system, marking the country's first official takeover of seized crypto assets. The funds originate from an investigation into an international hacking group, which is alleged to have laundered money through high-value real estate and other assets. The assets were received by the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) of Ukraine, with the transfer completed pursuant to a court order.Officials stated that this operation marks a significant step for Ukraine in the regulation and management of crypto assets, and aligns with ongoing discussions regarding the establishment of a strategic crypto reserve. Previous data indicates that Ukraine ranked among the top in Europe in terms of crypto transaction volume between 2024 and 2025.However, the relevant assets are currently in a "custodial" state and have not been legally forfeited; subsequent judicial conviction procedures are still required. Analysts believe that the mechanism of this move is similar to the path of the United States using criminally forfeited crypto assets to build a potential strategic reserve. (CoinDesk)
