Solana's new bank Avici is facing ongoing attacks, with attackers having stolen over $1 million from users. The attackers' wallet holds 10,005.03 SOL (approximately $1.07 million) and about $11,600 in USDC and USDT. The attack method involves first calling the SubmitSignatures of the Avici authorization program, then calling the AddCollateralAdmin of the collateral program, and finally executing WithdrawCollateralAsset to withdraw the balance. Both of Avici's programs are upgradable and share the same standard Solana account instead of multi-signature upgrade permissions.Avici confirmed the incident 1 hour and 53 minutes after the first theft transaction, stating, "We are aware of the issue affecting card balance withdrawals and are working directly with all relevant partners to resolve it." Prior to this, users had reported stolen balances on social media. A real-time tracker established by anonymous on-chain analyst STACC recorded 125 different sending accounts, with transfer amounts ranging from approximately 9 USDC to over 26,000 USDT.As a result, the AVICI token fell 49.4% in 24 hours to $0.2175, with a market cap of approximately $2.84 million, hitting an all-time low. Avici raised funds through MetaDAO in October 2025, with an original cap of $3.5 million, but the final committed amount reached $34.2 million, and the team refunded 89.8% of the committed USDC.

According to a report released by the oracle provider RedStone, the scale of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) on the Stellar chain surpassed $3 billion in July, while the total value locked (TVL) in the network's DeFi was only $213 million, showing a significant gap between the two. The report pointed out that the issuance speed of RWA far exceeds the development of the lending market and collateral pools, which has become a bottleneck restricting the use of on-chain assets.RedStone attributed the growth mainly to four products: Amundi and Spiko's overnight fund ($713 million), Spiko's government bond fund ($536 million), Ondo's USDY (over $533 million), and VuMe Bond 2030 ($500 million). Data from DefiLlama shows that the TVL of the Stellar network is $232.72 million, of which the lending protocol Blend has locked $150.03 million, but the funding pool accepting RWA as collateral is only about $2 million.The report believes that the settlement times of traditional government bonds, credit funds, and money market funds do not match the instant settlement requirements of on-chain lending, while 24/7 price oracles are key to making RWA usable as collateral. Currently, Stellar has connected to 55 SEP-40 price sources from RedStone, covering government bonds, corporate credit, tokenized gold, and money market funds. In addition, the report mentioned that the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to introduce custodial assets to Stellar by 2027, with a scale of custodial assets reaching $114 trillion.

Fomo co-founder Se Yong Park announced the completion of the first round of financing, with 140 angel investors participating in this round, and there are now over 200 angel investors on the cap table.He stated that early founders almost always misunderstand the dynamics between the company and angel investors, and should view angel investors as call options for product success. Even if the cap table includes tech CEOs, celebrities, athletes, etc., their likelihood of providing early assistance is close to zero. As the scale expands and products are created that angel investors are truly willing to use and proudly share, more and more people will naturally recommend the product to the outside world.
