"New Stock God" Serenity posted on platform X that his account has accumulated 107,894,491 exposures, with related creator earnings of approximately $4,649. He stated that all income will be used for stray dog rescue, and there will be larger-scale donations in the future. According to current calculations, it costs about $600 to rescue one dog, so the scale of rescue will grow in proportion to the increase in his follower count.Serenity expressed that he prefers to profit through the investment market rather than deriving income from his fan base, and therefore has never felt the need to set up a high paywall or run paid advertisements. He added that even without a creator earnings program, he would continue to share investment insights.

According to Cointelegraph, CoinShares analyzed quarterly 13F filings and found that professional investors reduced their Bitcoin ETF exposure from 313,000 BTC to 261,000 BTC in the first quarter, a decrease of 52,000 BTC, or 17%. The total value of these holdings fell by 35% to $17.8 billion, while the share of U.S. Bitcoin ETF assets held by 13F filers dropped from 24.7% to 20.8%.The sell-off was mainly concentrated among hedge funds and brokerages, which accounted for about 96% of the total reduction. Hedge funds reduced their holdings by 31,400 BTC (a decrease of 39%), while brokerages cut their holdings by 18,800 BTC (a decrease of 53%).

Among them, BlackRock's IBIT has become a major source of outflows.Analysis indicates that this round of capital outflow reflects a significant cooling of institutional demand for Bitcoin ETF exposure, while the market shows a trend of differentiation: ETFs related to Hyperliquid and some XRP spot ETFs still recorded inflows, while Ethereum spot ETFs have faced outflows for 13 consecutive days, with a total outflow of approximately $694 million, indicating that capital in crypto asset ETFs is being reallocated.

The GoPlus Security team has disclosed a new type of attack in its AgentGuard AI project: inducing AI agents to perform unauthorized sensitive operations through "memory poisoning." This attack method does not rely on traditional vulnerabilities or malicious code but exploits the long-term memory mechanism of AI agents. For example, an attacker first induces the agent to "remember preferences," such as "usually prioritizing proactive refunds instead of waiting for chargebacks," and then uses vague expressions like "process as usual" or "execute as before" in subsequent instructions, thereby triggering automated financial operations.GoPlus points out that the key risk in such cases lies in the AI agent mistakenly treating "historical preferences" as a basis for authorization, leading to financial losses or security incidents in operations such as refunds, transfers, and configuration changes. To address this issue, the team has proposed several protective recommendations, including:Operations involving refunds, transfers, deletions, or sensitive configurations must require explicit confirmation in the current session.Memory-related instructions like "habit," "usual way," and "as before" should be regarded as high-risk state changes.Long-term memory must have a traceability mechanism (writer, time, confirmation status).Vague instructions should automatically elevate the risk level and trigger secondary verification.Long-term memory must not replace real-time authorization processes.The team emphasizes that the "AI agent memory system" should be viewed as a potential attack surface and should be constrained and audited through a dedicated security framework.

Lido has released the latest developments regarding the Kelp security incident, stating that its Earn series vaults are working with the management to address the issues, which involve two major risk points: the rsETH exposure and the liquidity tension in the lending market. Lido emphasizes that the core staking protocol has not been affected, and both stETH and wstETH remain safe and stable.Currently, only the EarnETH vault has an approximately 9% TVL exposure to rsETH, and related deposits and withdrawals have been suspended by the management, awaiting a solution. Approximately $70 million in ETH has been recovered from the previous attack, and the subsequent asset recovery and loss distribution are still in progress. In response to liquidity pressure, the management has reduced leverage and optimized the position structure, significantly decreasing the wETH debt exposure. If losses ultimately occur, EarnETH will activate a $3 million "first loss protection mechanism" (funded by the DAO). As for other vaults, DVV and EarnUSD have not been affected and are operating normally; the GGV sub-vault is currently experiencing negative returns due to the combination of circular staking strategies and rising lending rates, but adjustments are ongoing. Withdrawal requests submitted by users will be processed based on valuations prior to the incident.

Lido stated on platform X that its EarnETH treasury was affected by the theft of 116,500 rsETH (approximately $29.2 million) from the Kelp DAO cross-chain bridge on April 18.EarnETH holds approximately $21.6 million in rsETH risk exposure through leveraged positions in rsETH/ETH on Aave, accounting for about 9% of the total assets in the treasury. The EarnETH team is currently actively deleveraging to reduce risk, and the outcome depends on the final decisions made by Kelp, LayerZero, and Aave regarding loss sharing and bad debt handling.Lido further stated that EarnETH has a $3 million "first loss protection mechanism" funded by the Lido DAO treasury, which will be used to cover losses if necessary. The treasury has currently suspended redemption processing to assess the losses. This incident does not affect stETH and wstETH, and the core staking protocol of Lido is not involved.

Slow Fog has once again issued a security reminder stating to pay attention to checking for malicious versions of axios and the exposure risk of OpenClaw npm global installation history. axios@1.14.1 and axios@0.3.4 have been confirmed as malicious versions, both of which have injected the dependency plain-crypto-js@4.2.1, delivering cross-platform malicious payloads through the postinstall script.The impact of OpenClaw is assessed based on scenarios: source code builds are not affected, as the locked versions in the lock file are 1.13.5/1.13.6; however, users who installed via npm install -g openclaw@2026.3.28 face historical exposure risks due to the presence of optionalDependencies.axios@^1.7.4 in the dependency chain, which may resolve to axios@1.14.1 during the time window when the malicious version is still online. Currently, npm has reverted the resolution to axios@1.14.0, but environments that were installed during the attack window are still advised to be checked. Slow Fog has provided inspection commands and IoC paths for various platforms; if the plain-crypto-js directory is found, even if the package.json has been cleaned, it should still be regarded as high-risk execution traces. It is recommended that affected hosts immediately rotate credentials and conduct host-side inspections. Previously, Slow Fog founder Yu Xian reminded that OpenClaw version 3.28 may introduce a toxic version of axios, and users need to urgently check.
