According to on-chain analyst Yujin (@EmberCN), 4.82 million LDO tokens—worth approximately $1.81 million—were withdrawn from Binance early this morning and transferred to a multisig wallet managed by the Lido Growth Committee; this wallet is designated for executing buyback operations. Lido approved a proposal three days ago authorizing up to 10,000 stETH to be used for repurchasing LDO. Additionally, the Growth Committee announced the execution parameters for its first buyback—1,000 stETH—two days ago. Furthermore, this multisig wallet also received 4.82 million LDO from market maker Portofino early this morning.
Rakuten Wallet, the cryptocurrency trading and management platform operated by Japan’s renowned e-commerce group Rakuten, will officially list XRP as both a tradable asset and a payment method on April 15, 2026. At that time, users will be able to directly purchase XRP using Rakuten Points and deposit XRP into Rakuten Cash for spending at over 5 million merchants across Japan. With 44 million users, Rakuten Pay—Japan’s leading e-commerce payment platform—will expose XRP to a massive non-crypto user base. Users can also directly exchange over 3 trillion Rakuten Points (approximately USD $23 billion) for XRP. Rakuten boasts over 100 million members and achieves annual e-commerce gross merchandise value (GMV) of JPY 5.6 trillion; XRP will thus become a spendable, interoperable digital asset within the Rakuten ecosystem.

According to The Block, U.S. musician Garrett Dutton (stage name G. Love) lost 5.9 BTC—worth approximately $420,000—after downloading and using a counterfeit Ledger wallet app from the App Store and entering his recovery phrase. On-chain analyst ZachXBT discovered that the attacker laundered the stolen Bitcoin via the KuCoin platform. This incident once again exposes the security risks posed by fake wallet apps, reminding users to exercise heightened caution when downloading and using cryptocurrency-related applications, and to avoid entering sensitive information through unofficial channels.
