Drift Protocol has said the theft of about $270 million to $286 million from its platform was the result of a six-month operation by North Korea-linked actors who built trust slowly, posed as a legitimate trading firm and used face-to-face meetings, capital deposits and carefully timed social engineering to prepare the strike. The Solana-based exchange’s account adds a new layer to an attack that security researchers had […]
Solana’s effort to prepare for a future quantum-computing threat is exposing a basic tension for high-speed blockchains: the safer the signature system becomes, the heavier and slower it is likely to be. That trade-off has moved into sharper focus as Bitcoin developers debate draft quantum-safe address proposals, Ethereum’s post-quantum team lays out a multi-year migration plan, and new research from Google and outside experts brings forward the […]
Kalshi’s push to keep offering sports-linked prediction contracts in Nevada suffered another setback on 3 April, when Carson City District Court Judge Jason Woodbury said he would grant a preliminary injunction preventing the New York-based platform from operating in the state without a gaming licence.

Ether traded just above the $2,000 mark on Sunday, holding a level that traders have treated as a key psychological floor, while BitMine Immersion Technologies’ continued accumulation of the token added to a broader argument that institutional buyers still see value in the market after a bruising first quarter.

Attackers behind the compromise of the widely used Axios package have widened their campaign, turning from code repositories to the people who maintain them and exposing how a single deceptive approach can threaten vast stretches of the software supply chain.

Ethereum’s main non-profit steward has moved sharply deeper into staking, depositing 45,034 ether worth about $93 million in a single day and taking its cumulative staked holdings to roughly 67,500 ETH, or about $143 million at current prices.

Robinhood chief executive Vlad Tenev has sharpened his argument for a radical overhaul of market structure, saying the practice of shutting exchanges at the end of each trading day is a “legacy design choice” and that tokenisation could help create a financial system that works more like the internet. The remarks land as Robinhood expands beyond its retail-broker roots and as major market operators push blockchain-based versions […]

As part of his partnership with 1win, Steveson will have the opportunity to work more closely with his mentor, UFC legend and fellow 1win global ambassador Jon Jones. Jones has already started sharing his experience and holding personal training sessions with the wrestler, and he is also expected to accompany him to key fights. The first joint photos of Steveson and Jones were published on the Telegram channel of the 1win owner.
Gable will also participate in 1win’s online and offline projects, marketing activations, and partner launches on social media. The 1win brand is also expected to be present at public events involving the athlete. Special emphasis will be placed on audience engagement on social media: posts, stories, short videos, and other formats for interacting with fans.
In February 2026, Gable Steveson defeated Hugo Lezama in a Mexico Fight League bout, finishing the fight by technical knockout in the first round. The win marked his third consecutive victory. His next fight is now confirmed for May 30 at Real American Freestyle (RAF09), which will be exclusively streamed on Fox Nation.
The agreement with Gable Steveson continues 1win’s strategy of partnering with high-profile and media-friendly world-class athletes. In particular, at the end of 2025, the company signed a partnership agreement with MMA champion Jon Jones. That same year, 1win also worked with Mexican boxer Canelo Álvarez.

The malware was observed on underground forums in early 2026 and is being sold as […]

Malta has sharpened its fight with Brussels over plans to tighten European Union oversight of crypto companies, arguing that a heavier centralised regime would drive firms towards the United States, the UAE and parts of Asia instead of keeping them inside the bloc.
