Major issuers include large banks such as Sber and VTB. Meanwhile, the Moscow Exchange has progressively launched Bitcoin and Ethereum futures, along with related ETFs, and will introduce Solana, Ripple, and TRON futures in May 2026.

The product carries higher risk and greater volatility, and investors may lose their entire principal.

Argentine judge orders freeze on wallets linked to Libra, involving $8.2 million in funds
Argentine Federal Judge Marcelo Martinez ordered the identification and freezing of a group of wallets linked to Libra, after the Federal Police Cybercrime Technical Department tracked the flow of related funds across multiple crypto networks since May. The investigation involves 8 wallets labeled "Libra team," which are directly connected to the token issuance.The report shows that 4 of these wallets had funneled nearly $57 million to an address, which was previously frozen and then unfrozen by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On May 10, related funds were transferred to a Tron address via an interoperability protocol, with the amount close to $500,000. At least 10 out of 17 transactions passed through Binance, while another 8 wallets are associated with Bybit, 2 with OKX, and 2 with Bitfinex. Some users involved in the $8.2 million in funds could potentially be identified through the KYC rules of centralized exchanges. The remaining funds are currently managed by Libra Trust, which plans to distribute them as grants to Argentine companies by November. There are already 71 applications pending approval.

A hacker organization has made over $14 million through token scams and X account hijackings
on-chain analyst Specter stated that the hijacking incidents of investor Keith Gill, Matt Furie, and WinRAR accounts on the X platform are all linked to the same hacker organization. This organization has accumulated over $14 million in profits by hijacking accounts to promote tokens and conducting cross-chain money laundering, with funds flowing through five chains: Solana, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Tron, and Hyperliquid.Specter claims the organization may also be connected to a $2.45 million wstETH phishing attack in 2024. The investigation found that hackers used compromised accounts to issue Pepe imitation tokens, incorporating a built-in 2% automatic fee mechanism to generate profits; related fund flows are associated with the bnbshare.fun platform and multiple Solana, Tron, and Ethereum addresses. Analysis also showed that several tokens (including USOR, VDOR, DROID, WCOR, UGOR) were used to inflate market caps before being dumped to zero.

The attacker carried out 8 operations over approximately 90 minutes, gradually increasing the amounts. Chainflip said it has completed a fix and has flagged the stolen funds to relevant authorities in an attempt to recover them. The protocol is expected to resume operations as early as Monday and will be responsible for compensating affected users for their losses.
Hackers Steal Crypto Wallet Data Using Google Docs and Fake Claude AI Pages
According to security firm Huntress, hackers are distributing credential-stealing malware to cryptocurrency users through forged Google Docs files, malicious files hosted on GitHub, and cloned Claude.ai pages. Attackers impersonate senior CoinDesk employees on the social platform X, luring victims into opening Google Docs documents containing malicious code under the guise of an online meeting invitation, which then prompts users to manually install the malicious software. Mac users face threats from Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), which can steal browser passwords, cryptocurrency wallet data, and Telegram files; Windows users are served fake Google API Connector updates that, once installed, deploy NetSupport RAT and counterfeit Ledger hardware wallet applications. Additionally, hackers have placed fraudulent ads on search engines like Bing to lure users to cloned Claude.ai pages where they execute malicious commands; the associated malware, MacSync and SectopRAT, can steal cookies, saved passwords, mnemonic phrases, and payment card information. Security firm Socket also concurrently identified 16 malicious extensions targeting Chrome and Edge, capable of draining EVM, Solana, and Tron wallet assets.

Wasabi Protocol attacker has deposited all stolen funds into Tornado Cash
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Specter, the Wasabi Protocol attacker has deposited all stolen funds into Tornado Cash, moving approximately $5.9 million into Tornado Cash.

Their process involved first cross-chaining the assets to Bitcoin, then routing them through Wasabi Mixer, extracting and cross-chaining back to Ethereum, depositing into Tornado Cash, subsequently withdrawing to new wallets and dispersing across multiple addresses. The new wallets then deployed tokens, used the stolen funds to buy in, removed liquidity from the deployment wallet, cross-chained to Tron (USDT), held for several hours or days, and finally sent to OTC-related wallets.
