According to The Block, the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) gateway eth.limo experienced a DNS hijacking attack last Friday evening. The project released a post-incident analysis report on Saturday, tracing the attack back to a social engineering attack against the domain registrar EasyDNS.eth.limo stated that DNSSEC validation rejected the attackers' domain server changes, and no users have been found to be actually affected. In response to the recent breaches at the DNS level affecting crypto frontends, eth.limo plans to migrate to EasyDNS's stricter security services, which no longer support account recovery features.EasyDNS CEO Mark Jeftovic has publicly acknowledged the vulnerability, stating that this is the first successful social engineering attack against customers in its 28-year history.

A U.S. federal court in Alabama dismissed all claims against Binance, which accused it of violating the ATA.

BitMEX released a report on Thursday stating that the crypto market crash in October last year marked the end of the "easy profit" era in the crypto market. After the crash on October 11, which wiped out $20 billion, market makers fully withdrew liquidity in the fourth quarter, causing the order book depth to drop to its lowest level since 2022. The arbitrage strategies between the spot and futures markets became "overcrowded," with funding rates falling to 4%, and returns now lower than U.S. Treasury bonds.The report noted that trading volume is "aggressively shifting" to high-performance on-chain perpetual contract platforms like Hyperliquid.

1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino posted on the X platform that the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies is currently $3.1 trillion (a 14% decline over the past year), but back in 2009, this number was 0. For the crypto industry, 2025 signifies the end of an era of easy profits: venture capital has raised the stakes, Meme coins and DAT have declared failure. However, last year marked the first time in the history of the cryptocurrency industry that products not reliant on token speculation outperformed others, such as Polymarket and stablecoins. In the future, to achieve excess returns, it will be necessary to develop and utilize such products.There are three constants in the crypto industry: 1. One must see through the nature of fraudsters; 2. The decline in institutional trust and the increasingly important macro trend of the internet are real, and there are investment opportunities in credible neutral currencies; 3. Only two cryptocurrencies have credible neutrality: Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
