According to the official announcement, Bitget PoolX will soon launch the NIGHT project, with a total airdrop of 9,000,000 NIGHT tokens. This campaign features two BTC staking pools and two ETH staking pools, each allocated 4,500,000 NIGHT tokens for the airdrop. Each asset offers both standard and dynamic staking pools; the dynamic pool’s tiered staking limit is unlocked based on the user’s trading volume over the past 15 days, and corresponding staking quotas are allocated accordingly.

According to CoinShares’ Research Report (Issue 281), digital asset investment products recorded $1.1 billion in net inflows last week—the highest single-week level since January this year—driven primarily by U.S. CPI data coming in below expectations and ceasefire indications in the Iran situation, both of which significantly boosted market risk appetite. By asset, Bitcoin led inflows with $871 million for the week, bringing its year-to-date cumulative inflows close to $2 billion. Ethereum sentiment improved markedly, attracting $196.5 million in inflows; however, it remains in net outflow territory year-to-date. XRP saw $19.3 million in inflows, while Solana posted a modest outflow of $2.5 million. Notably, bearish Bitcoin products attracted $20.2 million in inflows during the same period—the largest single-week inflow since November 2024—indicating persistent hedging demand. Regionally, the U.S. dominated inflows, accounting for 95% of the total—or $1.06 billion. Germany, Canada, and Switzerland recorded inflows of $34.6 million, $7.8 million, and $6.9 million, respectively. Trading volume rose 13% week-on-week, yet the weekly volume of $2.1 billion remains below the year-to-date average of $3.1 billion. Total assets under management have rebounded to early-February levels.
According to QCP Group, U.S.-Iran negotiations collapsed over the weekend, sending oil prices back above $100 per barrel and triggering a broad market shift toward risk aversion. BTC encountered resistance at $74,000, while ETH pulled back from $2,330 to $2,180. Trump subsequently threatened to blockade the Strait of Hormuz to cut off Iranian oil exports; Iran countered with threats targeting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, further widening risk exposure. China, as a major importer of Iranian crude oil, sits at the center of this crisis. Should the blockade be implemented, U.S.-China confrontation risks would rise significantly—a scenario not yet fully priced into markets. Nevertheless, the crypto market has demonstrated notable resilience: implied volatility and risk-reversal indicators have both retreated to pre-conflict levels, signaling waning panic. BlackRock’s IBIT recorded net inflows of $612.1 million over the past week, reflecting continued institutional buying momentum. Market focus has now shifted from geopolitical headlines to execution details: Trump announced the blockade will commence at 10 a.m. ET—yet repeated delays have rendered policy credibility itself a tradable variable.
According to on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), trader address 0x5ACE exited its position after holding for three months, depositing 2,540 ETH (approximately $5.56 million) into Binance and realizing a loss of roughly $2.4 million.
According to on-chain analyst Ai Aunt (@ai9684xtpa), the wallet address 0xf4aC5a5DC1543086347D28e757091EBd1B848cCa—holding ETH for over one month—reportedly transferred 7,050 ETH to Binance two hours ago at a deposit price of $2,187. If fully sold, this move is expected to yield a profit of $1.647 million. This address previously withdrew 7,100 ETH from Binance on February 20 at an average price of $1,954; its peak unrealized profit during that period reached $2.763 million. The total value involved in this transaction is approximately $13.87 million.
According to BlockSec Phalcon, the HandlerV1 contract managed by Hyperbridge on the Ethereum network was found to contain a Merkle Mountain Range (MMR) proof replay vulnerability, resulting in approximately $242,000 in losses. The vulnerability stems from the lack of binding between proofs and requests, enabling attackers to replay historical valid proofs alongside newly forged requests to perform malicious actions—such as altering administrator privileges. In the specific incident, the attacker changed the Polkadot (DOT) token administrator and then exploited those privileges to mint additional DOT tokens for profit. Observed attack transactions include: changing the DOT token administrator and minting new tokens (losses of ~$237,400), changing the ARGN token administrator and minting new tokens (losses of ~$3,800), and host withdrawal operations. The vulnerability was discovered by PhalconSecurity and analyzed via PhalconExplorer. Previously, the Hyperbridge gateway contract was attacked, leading to the unauthorized minting and subsequent dumping of 1 billion DOT tokens on Ethereum.
