Santiment stated on the X platform that Tether (Ethereum-based) experienced the largest outflow of funds from exchanges in nearly three months, with a net outflow of $1.29 billion (USDT) on Friday. Such a large-scale USDT outflow typically reflects institutional or whale-level participants moving funds to self-custody wallets, DeFi protocols, or over-the-counter trading platforms in preparation for larger operational plans. This is merely a reallocation of funds, not a complete exit from the ecosystem.Santiment suggests closely monitoring what typically happens after these peaks in outflows. Previously, on February 9, when outflows reached $3.72 billion, Bitcoin experienced a slight pullback in the following two weeks (before an ideal buying opportunity on February 24). Whether the current funds will flow back into exchanges in the form of buying in the short term is a key variable to watch closely. If USDT starts to flow back into exchanges in the coming days, it indicates that a wave of investment in crypto assets is imminent.

Wasabi Protocol released a security incident update, stating that attackers exploited a configuration vulnerability in the Spring Boot Actuator within its AWS infrastructure to steal the private keys controlling EVM smart contracts, resulting in the theft of approximately $4.8 million in user funds and $900,000 in protocol treasury funds, with total losses amounting to about $5.7 million.The attack chain began with a public server used for analysis, whose Actuator heap dump was not properly password protected, allowing attackers to obtain credentials for another server and ultimately gain control of the smart contract private keys. This incident only affected EVM deployments, including certain treasuries on Ethereum, Base, Blast, and Berachain, while Solana deployments and Prop AMM were not affected.There has not yet been a final update on the user compensation plan, but "ensuring all affected users are compensated" remains the team's top priority, and updates on the investigation progress will be released in the Discord community in the future.

Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine, the first treasury of Ethereum, stated at the Consensus Miami 2026 conference that BitMine is currently purchasing about 100,000 ETH per week. At this rate, BitMine will reach its goal of holding 5% of Ethereum's supply in about 6 weeks, but is currently evaluating whether to slow down the buying pace and instead allocate capital to a $4 billion buyback plan.BitMine generates an annual income of over $300 million through staking Ethereum, with an overall daily cash flow exceeding $1.2 million, and still holds about $700 million in cash reserves. When discussing market outlook, Tom Lee mentioned that if Bitcoin's closing price at the end of May exceeds $76,000, it will rise for three months, officially signaling the end of the bear market.When discussing Ethereum's target price, Tom Lee stated: if Bitcoin rises to $250,000 and the ETH/BTC exchange rate returns to the 2021 peak, Ethereum would correspond to about $22,000; if the ETH/BTC exchange rate reaches the extremely optimistic level of 0.25, it would correspond to about $62,000; if tokenization experiences a massive explosion and Ethereum becomes the main settlement layer, it would correspond to $250,000.

According to the security agency Blockaid (@blockaid_), the Ekubo Protocol is currently experiencing ongoing attacks on a v2 custom extension contract on Ethereum, resulting in a loss of approximately $1.4 million.The root cause of the attack lies in the fact that the IPayer.pay callback of this extension does not effectively restrict the source of the parameters, allowing attackers to control the payer, token, and amount parameters, thereby arbitrarily transferring authorized tokens. Users of the core Ekubo protocol are not affected, but users who have authorized this v2 contract as a token spender face direct risks. Blockaid recommends that relevant users immediately revoke their authorization.
