Over the past two hours this morning, security has been the biggest thing to watch.

The domain of cross-chain bridge Across was hijacked overnight, and its official website briefly turned into a phishing page. Fortunately, shortly after 9 a.m. Beijing time, the team announced it had regained control of across.to and restored the system, and promised to fully compensate affected users. If you visited the site or connected your wallet during that window, check and revoke any approvals as a precaution. And don’t trust DMs from anyone claiming to be an official representative.

It’s been a rough time for exchanges, too: A South Korean trader accused LBank of restricting withdrawals after making a profit, while the platform said the case involved abnormal trading and that the principal had already been withdrawn. More than two weeks after roughly $49 million was stolen from Brazilian exchange Mercado Bitcoin’s hot wallet, it plans to resume deposits and withdrawals in Brazilian reais next week, while crypto deposits and withdrawals remain suspended. Sui ecosystem hardware wallet Suiball, meanwhile, has shut down and is issuing refunds, saying the foundation considers the risk of attacks on hardware wallets too high.

There’s been activity on-chain and in DeFi as well. A whale bought about $22 million worth of ETH. Aave has added Circle’s cirBTC as collateral, while a risk-management proposal would remove roughly $1.3 billion in less widely used collateral from its V3 core markets. On the policy front, Germany plans to include crypto accounts in its automated information queries, and a Texas lawmaker has proposed allowing cities and counties to spend up to $10 million in public funds on Bitcoin.

Binance Alpha still hasn’t announced an official timeline for resuming airdrops. Markets are still digesting the CPI data, with Bitcoin hovering around $73,000.
