On May 18, 2026, multiple security/news outlets reported an ongoing exploit affecting the Verus–Ethereum bridge, with about $11.58M reportedly drained so far. (theblock.co)

What’s been reported (high level):

The alert was first circulated by security monitoring (e.g., Blockaid) as a live/ongoing exploit on the bridge. (theblock.co)

PeckShield-attributed reporting lists assets drained including roughly $BTC 103.6 tBTC,$ETH 1,625 ETH, and $USDC 147,000 USDC (figures may evolve as investigations update). (theblock.co)

Some coverage says the attacker consolidated/swampped proceeds into ETH (a common laundering step), making recovery harder but leaving an on-chain trail. (coinalertnews.com)

Reports also mention attacker funding linked to Tornado Cash before the exploit (suggesting obfuscation). (finance.yahoo.com)

Strategy may be preparing for another major Bitcoin buy. Michael Saylor suggested the company could acquire around $BTC 15,466 BTC across four trading days, a move that would materially increase Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings. The plan is also drawing attention because it comes as the company weighs a possible dividend policy change alongside its Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
