CoinDCX confirms $16 million loss after CEO suggested breach reports were a false alarm
CoinDCX confirmed that an attack on retired deposit wallets caused a loss of 15.99 million USDT, roughly $16 million. The disclosure followed CEO Sumit Gupta's suggestion days earlier that breach reports sounded like a false alarm. CoinDCX said a temporary failure of its automated sweeping service allowed user deposits to accumulate at an unused address, and the company absorbed the loss. CoinDCX said all user funds remained safe and normal trading, deposits and withdrawals continued. Onchain analyst ZachXBT disputed the exchange's earlier denials and urged customers to withdraw their funds.
Zheng Zhao is extradited to US in alleged $36.9 million crypto laundering case
Zheng Zhao has been extradited from the Netherlands to the United States over allegations that Zhao helped launder $36.9 million from crypto scam victims. Prosecutors allege the network moved money stolen from 174 identified American victims through shell companies, overseas bank accounts and cryptocurrency wallets. Investigators traced more than $36.9 million to a Deltec Bank account in the Bahamas, where participants allegedly arranged conversion into Tether's USDT. Prosecutors have not accused Deltec Bank or Tether of knowingly taking part in the fraud. Zhao faces up to 20 years in federal prison if convicted, while eight other participants have pleaded guilty.
Evernorth Holdings可通過一項新的股權融資協議籌集約8000萬美元,以擴大公司的XRP儲備。根據與Cantor Fitzgerald旗下關聯公司CF Principal Investments達成的協議,Evernorth可在約14個月內出售最多522萬股新發行的A類普通股。該融資仍須以美國證券交易委員會(SEC)宣佈轉售註冊聲明生效及滿足其他合同要求爲條件。此前提交的一份SEC文件涉及尚未行使的認股權證;若全部以現金行使,可能帶來約1.322億美元資金。額外發行股份將稀釋現有股東的持股比例。
