    GMX Hacker Goes White-Hat, Returns $40 Million—Sends Rest to Tornado Cash

    Some say crime doesn’t pay—but blockchain data suggests that an attacker who exploited a flaw in a GMX’s codebase earlier this week is walking away with a $5 million bounty. “Ok, funds will be returned later,” the individual said in an on-chain message on Friday, days after they absconded with over $40 million worth of crypto from the decentralized exchange. GMX, which specializes in perpetual futures trading on Avalanche and the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Arbitrum, was later sent $10 mill...

The performance coincides with Ethereum’s climb above $3,000 for the first time in five months, a 17% gain, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko.

  • Securities On-Chain? There's Only One True Way, Says BlackRock-Backed Firm's CEO

    There’s only one way to truly represent securities on-chain, and that’s through “native” tokenization, Carlos Domingo, CEO of BlackRock-backed digital asset securities firm Securitize, told Decrypt on Thursday. That distinction could become more important, as firms’ experimentation with security-based tokens potentially leaves investors confused—a concern raised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this week. A stock that’s natively tokenized on Ethereum, for example, would car...

    Crypto Exchange GMX Drained of Bitcoin, Ethereum in $40 Million Exploit

    GMX, a cross-chain decentralized exchange specializing in perpetual futures trading, warned on Wednesday that an initial version of its platform was exploited. Roughly $40 million worth of tokens were siphoned from GMX V1, which debuted on the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Arbitrum in 2021, to an unknown wallet, GMX said on X. In response, GMX V1 trading was disabled, alongside the minting and redeeming of GMX’s GLP token on Arbitrum and the layer-1 network Avalanche, GMX said. GMX was recent...

    Ripple Chooses BNY for Stablecoin Custodian as RLUSD Reaches $500 Million
