News linked to both this project and an event.
Odaily reports: In response to the "Humanity theft incident," on-chain detective ZachXBT has released a new post stating that this "incident" was very likely a staged event. He fundamentally does not believe the team's corresponding explanation, which he sees as nothing more than an excuse fabricated by those with ill intentions to escape blame.According to earlier news, ZachXBT stated that it has not been confirmed whether the Humanity theft was a security attack or a malicious sell-off by the project team. The sell-off of the H token originated from a DEX rather than a CEX.
in response to the "Humanity hack of over $31 million," on-chain detective ZachXBT stated, "It is uncertain whether this was a hacker's theft or a malicious act by the project team. Looking at the chart, given the concentration of supply, the H team was likely working with an active market maker. However, all H tokens were dumped on a decentralized exchange (on-chain), not on a centralized exchange."
stablecoin issuer StablR suffered a sustained attack, causing its euro stablecoin EURR and dollar stablecoin USDR to depeg.Blockchain security firm Blockaid stated that the attacker allegedly gained control by obtaining the private key of one of the owners of the minting multi-signature account. Exploiting the 1/3 signature threshold mechanism, the attacker replaced other administrators and minted an additional 8.35 million USDR and 4.5 million EURR.Subsequently, the attacker swapped tokens worth approximately $10.4 million for about 1,115 ETH on a DEX, yielding an actual profit of around $2.8 million. Following the incident, EURR fell to around $0.88, while USDR dropped to approximately $0.7.Blockaid noted that the incident was not caused by a smart contract vulnerability but rather by a failure in key management and governance mechanisms.

According to CoinDesk, at the “Perp DEX Explosion: Bullish Volumes and Bear Market Resilience” panel at Consensus Miami, several industry insiders stated that institutional investors are still largely avoiding decentralized exchanges offering perpetual futures (Perp DEXs). Veteran trader Wizard of SoHo pointed out that Drift’s recent multi-million-dollar hack highlights security vulnerabilities in the DeFi ecosystem, making secure onboarding of institutional capital a core competitive focus for major Perp DEXs. Anderson of Canary Labs expressed concern about DeFi’s current security posture, noting that large institutions face significantly greater challenges adopting decentralized exchanges compared to centralized platforms. Additionally, the structural tension between DeFi’s permissionless, open design and institutions’ stringent KYC compliance requirements is seen as a key barrier to scaling adoption. Michaël van de Poppe, founder of MN Fund, shared his views on AI-powered trading tools, stating that AI agents represent an evolutionary extension of algorithmic trading—and that trading will increasingly become fully automated.
Litecoin disclosed on X platform that a recent zero-day vulnerability once led to a DoS attack, affecting the operation of major mining pools. Mining nodes that were not updated in time allowed an invalid MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Block) transaction to be executed, enabling the relevant tokens to be withdrawn to a third-party DEX. The Litecoin network rolled back these invalid transactions through a 13-block reorganization (reorg), confirming they would not be included in the main chain. All valid transactions during this period were unaffected. The vulnerability has now been completely fixed, and the network has resumed normal operation.
