Odaily News David Hoffman, the founder of Bankless who previously liquidated all his ETH, posted on X regarding the newly established Ethlabs, stating: "The Ethereum Foundation (EF) deliberately left a power vacuum, allowing new organizational structures to step up and influence the direction of Ethereum's development.""I believe the direction Ethlabs is leading represents the brightest future for Ethereum. I am pleased to and will continue to support them on their journey ahead."Previously, David Hoffman publicly stated in late May that he had fully exited his ETH positions. Last night, several former Ethereum Foundation researchers announced the establishment of the non-profit organization Ethlabs, aiming to drive Ethereum into its next phase of growth. Bitmine, SharpLink, and Joe Lubin have all expressed their support.

According to on-chain analyst ZachXBT, the address (0xff57...5d22) linked to the $575 million Hashflare investment fraud case transferred 10,600 ETH (approximately $18.5 million) about three hours ago—after remaining dormant for 3.5 years. The two Estonian founders of the scheme, Sergei Potapenko and Ivan Turogin, pleaded guilty in 2025 and forfeited approximately $450 million in assets to the U.S. government. The transferred funds were immediately bridged from Ethereum to Bitcoin via HiFiSwap and Near Intents, then laundered through two instant exchange platforms. The funds flowed to addresses including 0xc82f...9d04 and 0x3297...2527.
Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Taiko has stated its chain state verification mechanism has been compromised, and the security assumptions of all bridges deployed on Taiko can no longer be relied upon. It urges users to immediately withdraw funds from the relevant bridges. Taiko says it is coordinating with partners to control the incident and has suspended the affected systems.Crypto security firm Blockaid stated that the root cause appears to be a flaw in the way Taiko's bridge validates source signals. Attackers can submit message proofs on Ethereum that lack legitimate proof from the Taiko chain, thereby registering and withdrawing fraudulent bridge messages. This leads to the unauthorized release of assets from the ERC20 treasury. Blockaid estimates at least $1 million was stolen, while Lookonchain and PeckShield believe the value of stolen assets could be as high as $1.7 million.PeckShield reported that the attacker has transferred approximately 1.99 million TAIKO tokens to MEXC, valued at around $189,000. Data from blockchain intelligence firm Arkham shows that the Taiko attacker's wallet holds approximately $1.5 million in assets, primarily in Ether. (Cointelegraph)

The attacker has exchanged the stolen funds for 4,400 ETH and transferred 1,000 ETH to the mixer Tornado Cash to obfuscate the fund’s trail.
According to on-chain analyst Blockaid (@blockaid_), the well-known Ethereum MEV bot JaredFromSubway (@jaredsmev) has been attacked, resulting in losses of approximately $7.5 million. The attacker constructed a deceptive MEV arbitrage path to trick the bot into automatically approving token transfers. Leveraging these open approvals—before they were revoked—the attacker drained WETH, USDC, and USDT from the bot’s contract. The stolen funds ultimately flowed to the attacker’s wallet address. Blockaid noted that this attack was not a conventional phishing attempt or smart contract vulnerability, but rather a targeted exploitation of the bot’s automated execution mechanism.
