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.

$SOL trenchers take risks for a living 😂😂 hehe!

⚠️ 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.

Abraxas Capital has been active over the last 8 hours, moving:

> 2,211 $BTC ($143.88M) → Kraken
> 30,825 $ETH ($59.19M) → Binance

Large exchange inflows like these are worth keeping an eye on.

Une autre exploitation 😭😭😭

Le pont Ethereum de @VerusCoin a encore été exploité, avec des pertes estimées à 7,53 M$.

D’après Blockaid, l’attaquant a abusé du mécanisme d’importation du pont pour déclencher des paiements non garantis, lui permettant de puiser dans les réserves du pont.

Les actifs volés incluent ETH, tBTC, USDC, USDT, EURC, MKR et scrvUSD.

Fait notable, l’attaque aurait utilisé la même vulnérabilité que celle exploitée lors de l’incident de mai, ce qui ravive les inquiétudes concernant la sécurité du pont.

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

Movement Labs, the developers of $MOVE has filed for bankrupcy

Le Bitcoin a grimpé alors que la demande institutionnelle restait solide.

> Les clients de BlackRock ont ajouté pour 136,5 M$ de $BTC, ce qui a soutenu le dernier mouvement à la hausse.

> Le marché crypto dans son ensemble a progressé grâce à la poursuite des entrées liées aux ETF et à des données sur l’inflation favorables.

> Le trader chevronné Peter Brandt s’attend à ce que le Bitcoin forme un creux début octobre, offrant un aperçu à court terme du marché.

> Les remboursements des créanciers de FTX doivent commencer le 31 juillet, un événement susceptible d’affecter des actifs comme $SOL et $ETH

> Bank of America a renforcé son leadership dans les actifs numériques, un autre signe d’un intérêt institutionnel croissant.

> Pendant ce temps, une nouvelle campagne de malware visant les investisseurs crypto rappelle qu’il faut prioriser la sécurité des portefeuilles.

À retenir : la demande institutionnelle continue de soutenir le marché, mais les événements clés et les risques liés à la sécurité signifient que la volatilité reste d’actualité.

🚨 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.

Jusqu’à présent, il semble que les memecoins soient le principal sujet sur la #Robinhood Chain.

Avec autant d’enthousiasme, je m’attendais à un cas d’usage plus large au sein de l’écosystème

L’offre en circulation de $USDT sur $TRX a officiellement dépassé les 90 milliards, renforçant la domination du réseau dans les activités liées aux stablecoins.

TRON affiche également une moyenne de 23,8 milliards de dollars de volume quotidien de transferts de $USDT, soulignant son rôle en tant que l’une des couches de règlement les plus actives pour les transactions de stablecoins.

$ANSEM a désormais dépassé 111,4K détenteurs, une étape que de nombreux projets crypto établis ont du mal à égaler avec leur propre nombre d’abonnés.

Internet ne cesse jamais de nous surprendre !
