CoW DAO responded to the incident where "a certain whale lost approximately 50.39 million dollars due to excessive slippage when exchanging aEthAAVE," stating that "no DEX, DEX aggregator, public liquidity pool, or private liquidity pool (or their combination) can execute this transaction at a price close to a reasonable level. However, preventing users from trading would deprive them of their choices and could lead to extremely poor outcomes in certain situations (such as market crashes).Such transactions indicate that the DeFi user experience has not yet reached the level necessary to protect all users. The team is currently exploring how to balance strong security measures with maintaining user autonomy. We will also refund any fees paid to CoW DAO due to this transaction."According to previous news from ChainCatcher, a user lost approximately 50 million dollars in a single transaction due to slippage, and the founder of Aave stated that the interface had issued multiple warnings.

According to CNBC, Wells Fargo stated that some taxpayers may receive larger refunds this year compared to previous years, which could drive funds into risk assets such as stocks and Bitcoin. This is due to provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act passed last summer that are favorable to taxpayers in 2025.Additionally, the IRS did not update its withholding tax tables last year, so wage earners are less likely to face surprises from adjustments to taxes already withheld.Wells Fargo noted in its latest analyst report that these factors could lead to as much as $150 billion flowing into the market by the end of March, as over 60% of refunds are issued.The bank's analysts added that the expected liquidity injection could boost Bitcoin as well as stocks favored by retail investors, such as Boeing and Robinhood. Wells Fargo analyst Ohsung Kwon stated in a report on Sunday, "We believe the additional savings from tax refunds—especially for high-income consumers—will flow back into the stock market.""Increased savings will drive speculative sentiment... We expect the 'YOLO' mentality to return." The analysts pointed out that Bitcoin could serve as a proxy indicator for liquidity, signaling a shift in investment patterns. According to Wells Fargo data, domestic liquidity has decreased by $105 billion over the past four weeks, while Bitcoin has retraced about 29% in the past month.

Paradex releases a report on a liquidation event triggered by a maintenance vulnerability, announcing a refund of $650,000 to 200 users.Paradex had previously planned a 30-minute database upgrade maintenance, but encountered unexpected issues during the upgrade process. A race condition occurred during critical data operations when the service was restarted, resulting in corrupted data being persisted to the cloud and published to the Paradex Chain. As a result, the funding index for some markets was reset to 0, causing abnormal profit and loss and triggering liquidations across multiple markets. Paradex temporarily shut down access to the platform, canceled all open orders except for take-profit and stop-loss orders, and rolled back the blockchain to a snapshot taken before the maintenance window began. According to previous reports, Paradex was temporarily unavailable across the board due to the rollback of chain status during database maintenance.

Leverage prediction market Space has released the latest official statement regarding the recent public sale's token distribution, fundraising scale, and refund issues.This round of public sale attracted over $20 million, ultimately distributing 19.6% of the tokens from the community pool, which accounts for 51% of the token economy, corresponding to an FDV of approximately $69 million. To ensure fairness in distribution, the project has decided to refund over $7.3 million of excess funds and explained that some refund address changes were made by participants for security reasons. The raised funds will primarily be used for leverage pools, liquidity construction upon launch, security audits, team expansion, and listing on CEX.Regarding the fundraising amount controversy, Space clarified that the previously mentioned $2.5 million was only a soft cap, not a hard cap, and that expanding the fundraising scale aims to support liquidity in the leverage market and years of R&D to ensure the project's long-term competitiveness. Previously, Space faced community skepticism due to issues related to the fundraising scale and the team's historical background. Several community members indicated that the team's predecessor appeared to be the gaming project UFO Gaming, whose token price has plummeted by about 99% from its historical high.The community accused Space of transitioning to a prediction market after the old project showed no signs of improvement, and to date, no public or internal test version has been released, while prioritizing the preparation of Hyperliquid perpetual contract code, raising suspicions of cashing out. Additionally, the community expressed dissatisfaction with the project's decision to raise the public fundraising amount without prior announcement after oversubscription, pointing out that many of the large refund addresses are mostly new addresses that have been changed and lack historical transaction records.

The Funkari team member Neks posted, "NFT Paris has announced the cancellation of the 2026 NFT Paris and RWA Paris events, which have been held since 2022.

Ticket buyers are promised a refund within two weeks.Below the announcement, sponsor @serc1n shared an email received: 'According to Article 12 of our agreement, the non-refundable expenses related to the event exceed the total sponsorship fees received, so we cannot provide a refund.' Another sponsor, Okay Bears founder Kais, also confirmed receiving the same information.Sponsors pay for exposure opportunities at the event. Most of the purposes are to achieve profitability, sell products, acquire users, or enhance brand awareness. Now that the event is canceled, the sponsorship fees are gone. NFT Paris listed 61 sponsors for 2026. It is estimated that sponsors paid a total of over 500,000 euros. One more detail: it is said that the core team that has been operating NFT Paris for three years left shortly before this happened. If true, this is purely criminal behavior."
