$ETH Institutional has successfully closed its first funding round, securing backing from more than 100 ecosystem leaders.
The nonprofit, focused on accelerating institutional adoption of Ethereum, received support from BitMine, SharpLink, Ethereum co-founders Joseph Lubin and Mihai Alisie, along with over 100 other ecosystem participants.
The funding will support its mission of helping bring more institutions onchain and expanding Ethereum’s role in institutional finance.

Apple is facing a lawsuit over claims it left a fake $BTC wallet app on the App Store even after an $875,000 theft had already been reported.
According to the lawsuit, three users lost a combined $1.84M after entering their seed phrases into the fraudulent app, including one victim who reportedly lost around $840,000.
Apple told MacRumors it has since removed the fake apps impersonating Sparrow Wallet and terminated the developer accounts responsible.

⚠️ This is one of the costliest mistakes in Bitcoin history
In 2013, James Howells lost a hard drive containing 8,000 $BTC after it was mistakenly thrown away and ended up in a landfill in Newport.
He later offered to fully fund the excavation and even share the recovered Bitcoin with the local council, but the proposal was rejected. The council argued that once the drive entered the landfill, it legally became council property.
Today, those 8,000 $BTC are worth roughly $512M. At Bitcoin’s all-time high, they were valued at more than $1Billion.

Donald Trump Jr. responds to questions about the President’s reported crypto earnings.
Connell: “Your father’s financial disclosure shows he made $57 million from your crypto company, $WLFI (World Liberty Financial). He does benefit financially.”
Donald Trump Jr.: “He has the ownership, but he’s not involved in any of that. It’s walled off.”

Meet Kimchi
Bro made $40M from $TRUMP alone.
He just comes online on X once in a while and post some lifestyle pictures and disappears back.
Even if he paid himself $33K every month, it would take over 100 years to spend it all.
One trade changed his life.

This week, Robinhood Chain ranked third in app fees, behind only $ETH and $SOL atm.
Fee generation is one of the clearest signs of on-chain activity.
This is a notable milestone for such a new network.

$BTC one-year realized volatility ended Q2 around 42%, sitting near multi-year lows despite the recent price decline.
This suggests the sell-off has been relatively controlled, with no signs of widespread panic or forced selling.
However, low volatility can also mean the market is becoming too comfortable. When volatility stays compressed for too long, the next major move can often come suddenly once a catalyst arrives.
The current setup points to a market in balance, not heavy fear, but also not without risk of a sharp expansion in volatility.

🚨 BitMart has reportedly announced plans to wind down operations.
New registrations, deposits, and trading orders were suspended on July 26, with all trading scheduled to end on August 26.
Jan 31, 2027, 15:59 UTC: Platform operations will officially cease.
Following the announcement, $BMX fell roughly 63% over the past 24 hours.

Another Exploit 😭😭😭
@VerusCoin Ethereum Bridge has been exploited again, with losses estimated at $7.53M.
According to Blockaid, the attacker abused the bridge’s import mechanism to trigger unbacked payouts, allowing them to drain assets from the bridge’s reserves.
The stolen assets include ETH, tBTC, USDC, USDT, EURC, MKR, and scrvUSD.
Notably, the attack reportedly used the same vulnerability that was exploited in the May incident, raising fresh concerns about the bridge’s security.

Another protocol, another exploit.
AFX Trade has reportedly suffered a $24M exploit on @Arbitrum with the attack targeting one of its bridge contracts.
Bridge security remains one of the biggest challenges in DeFi.
The investigation is still ongoing, with several blockchain security firms now involved.
According to SlowMist, the stolen funds remain in the attacker’s wallet, which has been flagged with the Crypto Defense Alliance (CDA), a network of exchanges and ecosystem partners actively monitoring suspicious addresses.
Zellic, the firm that audited the bridge, has also joined the investigation to help determine what happened.
The team says it will continue sharing updates as more verified information becomes available. $ARB

Bitcoin climbed as institutional demand remained strong.
> BlackRock clients added $136.5M worth of $BTC which supported the latest move higher.
> The broader crypto market gained on continued ETF inflows and favorable inflation data.
> Veteran trader Peter Brandt expects Bitcoin to form a low in early October, offering a near-term market outlook.
> FTX creditor repayments are set to begin on July 31, an event that could impact assets like $SOL and $ETH
> Bank of America expanded its digital asset leadership, another sign of growing institutional interest.
> Meanwhile, a new malware campaign targeting crypto investors serves as a reminder to prioritize wallet security.
Takeaway: Institutional demand continues to support the market, but key events and security risks mean volatility is still on the table.

🚨 Allbridge Core has been exploited, with losses exceeding $1.1M.
The attacker used a flash loan from Kamino to manipulate swaps across Allbridge’s liquidity pools.
In one of the transactions alone, 3,987.46 $USDT was exchanged for 948,927.52 $USDC highlighting the scale of the exploit.
A portion of the stolen funds has already been moved through a privacy protocol, while the total number of attacker-controlled wallets and the final loss amount are still under investigation.

MetaMask’s parent company, Consensys, unknowingly gave a DPRK-linked contractor access to parts of its codebase for about a month.
The GitHub handle (imyugioh) was reportedly already listed in SEAL’s public DPRK IT worker database before the contractor joined. 
Consensys says it caught the issue before any malicious code or user losses occurred. 
If one of the largest crypto companies can be infiltrated through a contractor using a false identity, it’s fair to ask how many smaller protocols with far fewer security resources might be exposed to similar hiring risks.
Damn! Would have been a clean wipe of $ETH / ERC20/BEP20 and other related Assets.

$ANSEM has now surpassed 111.4K holders, a milestone that many established crypto projects struggle to match with their own follower count.

The long-term vision of $ETH extends far beyond routine network upgrades.
Its proposed Lean @Ethereum roadmap focuses on redesigning the protocol across three foundational layers:
> Lean Consensus: Faster finality, stronger decentralization, and post-quantum signature support.
> Lean Data: Quantum-resistant blob commitments with more flexible data availability.
> Lean Execution: A lightweight, SNARK-friendly execution layer built to scale while maintaining EVM compatibility.
The objective goes beyond increasing throughput. $ETH aims to make the network easier to verify, simpler to formally prove, more resilient against attacks, prepared for quantum computing, and capable of scaling without compromising decentralization.
To support this effort, the Ethereum Foundation has formed a dedicated post-quantum team, while more than 10 client teams are already taking part in interoperability testing. Open-source projects like leanXMSS, leanVM, and leanSig are also actively under development.
The current roadmap targets full post-quantum readiness around 2029, with changes expected to roll out gradually rather than through a single major overhaul.
Ethereum’s next chapter is not just about scaling. It’s about building a protocol designed to remain secure, efficient, and sustainable for decades to come.

PROTOCOL EXPLOIT ‼️
Summer Finance suffered an exploit that resulted in the loss of 6.017 million $DAI
The team says the issue affected the Lazy Summer Protocol. In response, all vaults have been paused and deposit caps across every supported network have been reduced to zero as a precaution.
The incident is still under investigation, and users are advised not to interact with the protocol until further updates are provided.
