According to monitoring by Galaxy's research director, a suspected organized Coldcard attack is occurring, with similar transactions still waiting for confirmation in the mempool. Previously confirmed transactions show RBF enabled. During the period from block 960,778 to 960,792, 218 transactions occurred within approximately 2.5 hours, involving 462 victim addresses, 216 new destination addresses, and 388.92748828 BTC; all transactions had no inputs earlier than the Coldcard firmware boundary.The clearing rate per block during this period was 13.8 times, compared to a pre-incident control window of 0.3 times per block, approximately 45 times higher. The transaction topology was 1:1, with each victim address corresponding to a new destination address, and only one destination address received two clearings, with no aggregation addresses appearing. Some funds have been cleared to second-hop addresses.

Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that the attack incidents surrounding the Coldcard wallet are still evolving, with more small attackers and imitators emerging, targeting the remaining Coldcard recovery phrases.Alex Thorn mentioned that by assisting in confirming the identity of a user whose deposits were involved in the attack, the related funds had already been transferred out before they could be frozen on the Duel platform, and the funds involved do not belong to the three main waves of attacks previously identified by Galaxy Research.Previously, the Bitcoin hardware wallet Coldcard was attacked, and the stolen funds have risen to 1367.05 BTC, worth approximately 8.86 million USD, involving 4585 addresses. Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn stated that the attacks are still ongoing, and users who have not yet migrated their funds should immediately transfer their assets out of the addresses generated by Coldcard.

Galaxy Research Research Director Alex Thorn stated that the attack targeting Coldcard wallet address generation is still ongoing. They are currently continuing to collect victim information and adding new victim addresses and attacker addresses to the investigation database.If users are still using affected Coldcard single-signature addresses, they should immediately migrate their funds. According to current investigation results, all single-signature Coldcard addresses generated after the firmware upgrade in March 2021 may ultimately be emptied by attackers; it is just a matter of time.According to Galaxy Research's analysis, the first three confirmed rounds of attacks exhibit highly programmatic characteristics, with similar attack transaction patterns. A large amount of stolen Bitcoin remains in the attackers' addresses and has not yet been transferred.At the same time, some new opportunistic attackers are emerging, transferring and laundering funds through methods such as stripping the funding chain, cross-chain services (like ThorChain), and overseas betting platforms.Additionally, Alex Thorn mentioned the limitations of AI tools in security investigations. Some large language models in the United States have restricted researchers' ability to track stolen funds, and the team has even had to turn to Chinese open-source AI models to assist in protecting user assets and conducting on-chain tracking.He finds this phenomenon "incredible" and plans to promote discussions on related issues at the government and industry levels. Alex Thorn concluded by stating that a large amount of stolen funds remains stagnant, and the team is continuously tracking relevant addresses, having shared information with relevant U.S. agencies and industry partners. He calls on the Bitcoin community to learn from this incident, strengthen self-custody security education, and raise awareness of wallet complexity.

Galaxy Research Research Director Alex Thorn tweeted that among a Coldcard attack victim holding nearly 30 BTC, 17 BTC were split and converted to ETH via THORChain, and then deposited into the offshore betting platform Duel.com.Upon tracking, this portion of funds corresponds to approximately 229.72 ETH (worth about $445,000). The victim and the research team have emailed all known addresses of Duel.com, providing all transaction and deposit information and requesting to freeze the funds, but the response stated that the victim should have the police contact them, even though the platform's anti-money laundering policy claims it implements KYC and complies with relevant laws.Thorn stated that this response is unacceptable, and most of the Western regions have passed midnight, meaning the police report cannot be advanced until at least Monday; he believes that if the platform refuses to freeze the funds after receiving notification that they originated from an ongoing cyber attack, it constitutes complicity in theft.Since Duel.com's X account has been banned, Thorn turned to @ several individuals associated with the platform, urging them to push the platform to take the correct actions, and stated that if the funds are not frozen, the platform will face significant legal action.

According to Business Insider, Alexandr Wang, founder of Scale AI and current head of Meta's Superintelligence Lab, stated at a Y Combinator event that AI has significantly narrowed the power gap between startups and giants. He recalled that when he founded Scale AI in 2016, "startups faced giants like David against Goliath, needing to find market entry points more intelligently"; however, with the development of AI agent technology, "it now feels more like Goliath against Goliath," and as long as startups apply AI agents in "the most ambitious way," it is not difficult to defeat large companies that already have an advantage.Scale AI, founded by Wang, is one of the earliest data annotation companies, employing thousands of contractors worldwide to train models for large AI labs. Last June, Meta reached a $14.3 billion deal with Scale AI, and Wang subsequently joined Meta. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also stated at the same event that "there has never been a better time to start a business."

Circle's Senior Director of Strategy and Policy for the EU, Patrick Hansen, pointed out that since the implementation of the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), approximately 35 electronic money tokens (EMT) from 21 institutions have obtained compliance certification, with banks and electronic money institutions entering the market, showing a good momentum for local issuance.However, among the top 50 stablecoins globally, currently only USDC, USDG, and EURC meet MiCA requirements, while the rest remain outside the regulatory framework, leaving EU users facing a dual dilemma of lack of protection or being forced to cut off access. Hansen believes that for MiCA to truly become a global regulatory blueprint, it must achieve two goals simultaneously: first, to promote local EMTs to go global with competitive systems; second, to establish a recognition mechanism for compliant stablecoins from abroad, attracting global issuers into the MiCA regulatory framework, rather than making local issuance the only entry path.
