Raydium is an automated market maker (AMM) platform built on Solana, where users can swap, trade, and provide liquidity to earn yield on digital assets. However, unlike other AMM platforms, Raydium's AMM provides on-chain liquidity to Serum's central limit order book. This means that Raydium's users and liquidity pools have access to the order flow and liquidity of the entire Serum ecosystem, and vice versa.
Odaily News: Ferrari NV tokenized stock RACE has launched on Solana through the Sunrise asset gateway, with Backpack Securities serving as the issuer, effective October 6. Each RACE token is backed 1:1 by one actual Ferrari share held in regulated custody, and holders can redeem it for traditional stock equity through Backpack Securities. The token is supported on trading venues including Phantom, Jupiter, and Raydium, offering 24/7 trading and eligibility for dividends and corporate actions; Backpack plans to expand its tokenized stock tickers on Solana from approximately 200 to 10,000.
According to official news, Raydium announced the launch of Permissioned Automated Market Maker (AMM) and Permissioned Pools, open to asset issuers that need to meet KYC or regulatory requirements. Issuers can directly access Solana on-chain liquidity infrastructure while retaining participant access control to establish compliant secondary trading markets.
Odaily News, DeFi researcher Ignas posted on X platform stating that the market appears to be showing signs of some on-chain funds rotating from the Robinhood ecosystem to Solana. Over the past 24 hours, tokens related to trading infrastructure in the Solana ecosystem have performed strongly, with RAY up 60%, JUP up 21%, ORCA up 12%, and MET up 13%. Additionally, cross-chain data shows that bridged funds on Solana have increased by approximately $18.8 million, while Robinhood Chain has decreased by approximately $47.8 million.Ignas believes that although the current bridge volume remains relatively small compared to the overall TVL, some traders may be taking profits on Robinhood ecosystem Meme coins and pivoting to buying trading infrastructure tokens on Solana to bet on a similar market trend.
According to an official announcement, Raydium stated that its legacy AMM V3 program—deactivated in 2021—was exploited, resulting in the unauthorized removal of approximately 150,177 RAY, 5,603 SOL, and 893,700 USDC, with a total market value of roughly $1.34 million. Compensation will be covered by the Raydium treasury.
The Drift Foundation has outlined the compensation plan following the protocol hack: users will receive 1 DFX token for every 1 USDT lost, with redemption amounts depending on the recovery pool balance that currently covers only about 1% of total claims; Tether has committed to providing up to $127.5 million USDT to support protocol restart and user compensation, with funds matched against Velocity's net protocol revenue rather than disbursed as a lump sum; the claims deadline is January 1, 2028, allowing users to choose to hold DFX or trade it on secondary markets such as Raydium, with the only official link being dfx.drift.trade.
victims of the Drift hack, a perpetual contract exchange on Solana, began filing claims on October 1. The recovery pool's initial funding stands at approximately $3.11 million against nearly $295.4 million in verified losses. Victims can redeem USDT through DFX tokens, with each $1 of loss converting to roughly 1.04 cents at launch, meaning a $1,000 loss corresponds to about $10.40.The total supply of DFX is fixed at 299,500,810.998 tokens, with each token corresponding to $1 of verified loss from the April incident, and no additional tokens will be minted. Holders can choose to burn DFX to redeem USDT, sell on secondary markets such as Raydium, or continue holding their claims. Completed redemptions are irreversible, and unclaimed tokens will expire after the claims window closes on January 1, 2028.Future funding for the recovery pool includes a portion of daily net protocol revenue from Velocity, the rebranded exchange rebuilt by Drift, up to $127.5 million in USDT committed by Tether, $20 million in USDT committed by strategic partners, and recovered stolen assets. On the first Friday after claims opened, approximately 216,480 DFX tokens were redeemed for about 2,250 USDT, with Velocity's first revenue transfer amounting to 31 USDT; approximately 13,025.9 ETH is spread across 4 Ethereum wallets, another approximately 2,309.4 ETH passed through Tornado Cash, and about $9.2 million in assets have been frozen at other addresses.

according to DefiLlama data, Q2 2026 has become the most active quarter on record for crypto hacks, with 83 separate attack incidents, setting a new all-time high.Despite the increased frequency of attacks, the total losses for the quarter were approximately $755.3 million, still lower than the $3.56 billion lost in Q4 2020. Of this, the $293 million attack on KelpDAO and the $280 million attack on Drift Protocol accounted for more than three-quarters of the quarter's total losses. Cross-chain bridges were the largest source of losses, with related attacks leading to approximately $351 million being stolen. Earlier this month, Humanity Protocol lost $36 million, Aztec Connect experienced two attacks on passive smart contracts, each losing about $2.1 million, and decentralized exchange Raydium suffered a $1.3 million attack in June.

blockchain security analyst Specter posted on X platform, stating that an old liquidity pool of the Solana DeFi protocol Raydium is suspected of being attacked, with the attacker stealing approximately $1.34 million in assets, mainly including USDC, RAY, and wSOL. Currently, the hacker has transferred the stolen funds to Ethereum via a bridge and subsequently deposited them into Tornado Cash for mixing.
According to BeInCrypto, Grayscale released a crypto asset valuation ranking evaluated based on two metrics: "Token Holder Yield" and "Adjusted Earnings Yield". HYPE topped holder yields at 8.0%, with Lighter (LIT) following closely at 7.9%, and PancakeSwap (CAKE) ranking third at 2.6%, followed sequentially by AERO, UNI, RAY, PENDLE, AAVE, JUP, and CRV. In terms of adjusted earnings yield, CAKE led at 14.4%, with LIT at 14.1% and HYPE at 9.8%, followed sequentially by RAY, AAVE, JUP, SKY, UNI, AERO, and PENDLE. The report showed that five assets on the list had negative holder yields, including AAVE, JUP, and CRV, with CRV at -5.5% and JUP at -2.6%. Grayscale calculates holder yield as staking rewards plus buybacks minus new token issuance, so holders face dilution when new issuance exceeds total yields. While JUP's adjusted earnings yield stands at 3.5%, its holder yield remains negative.

Odaily reports: DeFi researcher Ignas published a roundup of strong tokens for the year, noting that since the start of the year only three categories of tokens—trading, AI, and privacy—have outperformed Bitcoin, among which:1. Trading-related tokens have been the most outstanding performers: DRV gained 665%, HYPE rose 200%, PUMP rose 121%, and RAY rose 106%. The rally logic for these tokens is that speculative trading generates fee revenue for the protocols, which then support token value through buyback mechanisms.2. Among AI-related tokens, VVV rose 1431%, NEAR rose 203%, and GRASS rose 151%;3. Among privacy-related tokens, ZEC rose 137% and XMR rose 37%.In addition, Ignas also mentioned QNT and MORPHO in the institutional adoption narrative, which rose 173% and 89% respectively. However, aside from the above categories, most tokens have performed poorly this year. Finding tokens with strong revenue-generating capacity is currently a relatively easy trading approach to grasp.
