News linked to both this project and an event.
According to a post by the Newton Foundation (@NewtonFndn), the attacker involved in the recent Binance breach appears to have made an operational error, directly transferring approximately 8 million NEWT tokens, along with 17 other tokens (ANIME, ANKR, ARPA, BARD, CELR, DENT, DOLO, FTT, GLM, HIGH, HOT, KNC, LQTY, RARE, RESOLV, SIGN, WOO) to the NEWT token contract address (0xd0ec028a3d21533fdd200838f39c85b03679285d). Valued at current prices, the total amounts to approximately $3.5 million. The foundation stated that the NEWT token contract itself was not compromised. Featuring an immutable design with no owner or administrator, all management rights were relinquished on-chain in 2025, and upgrade functionality has been permanently disabled. As a result, no one, including the foundation, can retrieve these tokens.
According to an official announcement, Binance will remove and halt trading for the following spot trading pairs at 03:00 (UTC) on July 17, 2026: GLM/BTC, KNC/BTC, ONT/BTC, and XAI/USDC. Binance will simultaneously terminate the spot trading bot services for these pairs. Users are required to update or cancel related trading bots before this time to avoid potential losses. The delisting of these trading pairs does not affect the trading of the tokens on other trading pairs available on Binance.
