A new report from Swiss blockchain analytics company Global Ledger reveals that over $3.01 billion was stolen across 119 crypto hacks in the first half of 2025, surpassing the total for all of 2024. Even more alarming is a trend beyond the rising volume: speed.The report analyzed onchain data tied to each exploit, and tracked how quickly attackers moved funds through mixers, bridges and centralized exchanges. By mapping the time between the initial incident and the final laundering endpoint, researchers found that laundering now happens in minutes, often before a hack is even disclosed.According to the report, laundering was fully completed…

Dragonfly Capital could be the target of federal charges stemming from its early investment in Tornado Cash developer PepperSec, Inc., but the venture firm says it is prepared to “vigorously defend” itself if prosecutors pursue the case.In a Friday social media post, Dragonfly Capital managing partner Haseeb Qureshi defended the firm’s early backing of Tornado Cash — an open-source protocol that allows users to obscure blockchain transactions — dating back to August 2020.“We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology,” said Qureshi, adding that the company had consulted outside legal counsel before investing and…

Investor and financial educator Robert Kiyosaki warned of the potential danger from holding paper Bitcoin (BTC) and precious metals through instruments such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs).Kiyosaki said that although ETFs make certain asset classes more accessible to investors and lower the barrier to entry, the investor does not physically hold the underlying asset. He wrote on Friday:“An ETF is like having a picture of a gun for personal defense. Sometimes it’s best to have real gold, silver, Bitcoin, and a gun. Know the differences when it is best to have real and when it’s best to have paper.” In May, he…

After hitting above $3,800, the Ethereum price seems well on track for the next phase of the cycle. The ongoing trend has been closely mirroring what was seen back in 2016-2017 before the surge that sent the altcoin’s price to new all-time highs. This remains a major deal given that if the trend does play out similarly to what was seen in the 2017 cycle, then it means that the Ethereum price rally is only just beginning. Ethereum Price Mirrors Bullish 2017 Back in 2017, before the bull market, the Ethereum price had struggled to stay on track with the…

In the days since, the company has acquiesced. But its reputation has already been hit. And the events have dealt a devastating blow to people desperate for treatments that might help them, their children, or other family members with DMD. DMD is a rare genetic disorder that causes muscles to degenerate over time. It’s caused by a mutation in a gene that codes for a protein called dystrophin. That protein is essential for muscles—without it, muscles weaken and waste away. The disease mostly affects boys, and symptoms usually start in early childhood. At first, affected children usually start to find…

Special thanks to Sacha Yves Saint-Leger & Joseph Schweitzer for review. Sharding is one of the many improvements that eth2 has over eth1. The term was borrowed from database research where a shard means a piece of a larger whole. In the context of databases and eth2, sharding means breaking up the storage and computation of the whole system into shards, processing the shards separately, and combining the results as needed. Specifically, eth2 implements many shard chains, where each shard has similar capabilities to the eth1 chain. This results in massive scaling improvements. However, there’s a less-well-known type of sharding…

Painkiller returns in 2025 as a brutal co-op shooter—with Doom-like gunplay, grappling hooks, and plenty of demons to nail to the wall.
