According to CoinDesk, blockchain analytics firm Elliptic stated that the Drift Protocol attack resulted in a loss of $285 million, with "multiple signs" pointing to the North Korean-supported DPRK hacker organization. Elliptic focused on analyzing on-chain behavior, money laundering techniques, and signals at the network level, all of which align with previous state-affiliated attacks.The Elliptic report noted: "If confirmed, this would be the 18th DPRK attack tracked by Elliptic this year, with over $300 million stolen to date." On a technical level, Elliptic described this attack as "premeditated and meticulously planned," with early test transactions and pre-positioned wallets prior to the main attack. After the execution of the attack, the funds were quickly consolidated and transferred across chains, converted into more liquid assets, forming an organized and repeatable money laundering process aimed at obscuring the source of funds while maintaining control.This incident involved over ten types of assets, with funds being transferred across chains from Solana to Ethereum and other chains, further highlighting the importance of cross-chain tracing capabilities. Drift Protocol is the largest decentralized perpetual contract trading platform on the Solana blockchain, and its token has dropped over 40% to approximately $0.06 since the hack.

According to The Street, Goliath Ventures, a cryptocurrency company based in Florida, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in the Southern District of Florida.The company is alleged to be linked to a $328 million Ponzi scheme, with over 2,000 victim investors, including Gregory Wilson, who lost approximately $8.74 million, and John Euliano, who lost about $1.28 million. Additionally, plaintiffs have filed a class-action lawsuit against JPMorgan Chase early next month, accusing it of turning a blind eye to suspicious transactions involving Goliath Ventures.Previously, Goliath Ventures' former CEO Christopher Alexander Delgado was arrested for allegedly being involved in the $328 million Ponzi scheme and faces charges of wire fraud and money laundering. Delgado lured victims under the guise of investing in cryptocurrency liquidity pools and promising monthly returns, but the funds were used to pay returns to earlier investors, purchase luxury homes, and finance extravagant activities.

According to U.Today, the Bitcoin network experienced a rare two-block reorganization last night. At height 941880, the network briefly split into two competing chains. AntPool mined block 941881, and ViaBTC subsequently mined block 941882 on the same chain; meanwhile, Foundry USA mined its version of block 941881 and continued to mine its version of block 941882. After Foundry USA continued to mine blocks 941883, 941884, and 941885, the competing chain was broken, and the blocks from AntPool and ViaBTC were discarded as orphan blocks.This reorganization was not an attack or a failure, but rather a normal result of Bitcoin's decentralized consensus mechanism. Single-block reorganizations occur from time to time, but two-block reorganizations are relatively rare, indicating that the tie between the two chains lasted for an entire block cycle. Foundry USA mined seven consecutive blocks from 941879 to 941885.

According to CriptoNoticias, the National Anti-Drug Secretariat of Paraguay (Senad) held a seminar titled "Dismantling Criminal and Terrorist Financial Networks" at the Sheraton Hotel in Asunción in collaboration with the American Bar Association's Rule of Law Initiative and the Higher Institute of the Prosecutor's Office. The aim was to enhance the technical capabilities of law enforcement personnel in identifying and combating criminal organizations that use Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies for money concealment.The seminar focused on analyzing the trend of transnational criminal networks in the tri-border area moving towards digitalization and involved the "Trapiche Operation" case related to financing networks associated with Hezbollah. General Mirko Sokol, the Commander of the Bolivian Police, revealed at the meeting that after the arrest of Uruguayan drug lord Sebastián Marset, no large amounts of cash were found at his residence, and related transactions were primarily conducted through cryptocurrencies.The Paraguayan Tax Authority (DNIT) issued Resolution No. 47/26 on March 11, requiring cryptocurrency trading platforms to report detailed information on each transaction, including wallet addresses, the networks used, and transaction hash values.

Members of the crypto advocacy organization Stand With Crypto have written to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, urging the protection of decentralized finance development in the advancement of crypto legislation and the retention of provisions that allow trading platforms to offer stablecoin yields.The letter points out that a clear and fair regulatory framework should be established while avoiding the undermining of innovative financial technologies. The current legislative controversy mainly focuses on stablecoin yields and DeFi regulation, with the banking industry concerned that yield mechanisms will divert traditional deposits, while the crypto industry argues that restricting yields will stifle innovation. Additionally, the letter emphasizes the need to retain provisions related to blockchain regulatory certainty legislation, clarifying that developers who do not control user funds are not considered money transmitters. Relevant legislation is still being advanced in the Senate Banking Committee.

According to market news, after the Federal Reserve approved the main account application of the cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, U.S. banking organizations expressed strong opposition, warning that this move could allow cryptocurrency institutions to access the central bank's payment system without the same regulatory protections as traditional banks.The Bank Policy Institute stated that it is "deeply concerned," believing that the Kansas City Fed approved the application before the Federal Reserve finalized the framework for a limited-purpose main account policy, and that the approval process lacked transparency. The Independent Community Bankers of America also stated that allowing non-bank entities and cryptocurrency institutions to access main accounts poses risks to the banking system. A Federal Reserve governor mentioned last month that they hope to launch a streamlined account structure later this year.Some participants in the cryptocurrency market believe that Kraken's approval signifies a breakthrough in establishing non-depository banking operations that do not rely on loans. In a previous news report, it was mentioned that Kraken was approved for a "streamlined" Federal Reserve main account, becoming the first cryptocurrency company authorized to access the Federal Reserve's core payment system, Fedwire.

Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu stated on social media that the development of AI Agents will have a profound impact on corporate organizational structures. The disruption will not target individual skills, but rather the management systems that have long been centered around Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).He pointed out that traditional enterprises standardize human execution processes by continuously adding SOPs. If AI, which has autonomous planning capabilities, is simply embedded into existing processes, it may lead to internal efficiency losses. In the future, companies may reconstruct processes with "intent and boundaries" at their core, where humans set goals and rules, AI is responsible for autonomous optimization, and humans take on supervisory and decision-making roles.Shen Yu believes that as AI participation increases, departmental barriers and middle management functions may weaken, and organizational forms are expected to evolve towards more efficient dynamic collaboration models.

Musk tweeted, "xAI has recently undergone a reorganization to improve execution efficiency. As the company grows, its organizational structure must evolve continuously like any living organism. Unfortunately, this means we have to part ways with some individuals. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors. We are actively hiring at the moment."Previously, several members of xAI announced their departure, including co-founders Wu Yuhua and Jimmy Ba.

According to Bitsmedia, the Office of the Attorney General of Russia has listed the Ukrainian cryptocurrency exchange WhiteBit as an undesirable organization. The regulator believes that the exchange has been used to illegally transfer funds out of Russia, including to finance the Ukrainian armed forces. The Russian side has also included WhiteBit's parent company W Group and all its affiliates and subsidiaries on the list.The Attorney General's Office stated that since 2022, the management of WhiteBit has transferred approximately $11 million to the Ukrainian military, of which about $900,000 was used for the procurement of drones, and claimed that the platform cooperates with the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide technical support for the United24 crypto donation platform. Currently, there are no registered cryptocurrency exchanges under Russian law. The Central Bank of Russia hopes that legal amendments to regulate exchanges and cryptocurrency traders can be completed by July 1. The Central Bank of Russia plans to hold intermediary institutions in the crypto market accountable for illegal activities starting from July 1, 2027.

According to CoinDesk, the quantum-resistant cryptography specialist BTQ Technologies (BTQ) recently announced a solution to protect the Bitcoin blockchain, called "Bitcoin Quantum," an open-source fork testnet that is said to be capable of addressing quantum challenges.Chris Tam, head of partnerships at BTQ, stated that Bitcoin Quantum is a publicly operable network where miners, developers, researchers, and users can stress-test against quantum transactions and reveal the trade-offs in actual operation before discussions about mainnet upgrades become urgent.The system includes a block explorer and mining pool, providing instant accessibility. Tam explained that in August 2024, the quantum-resistant algorithm known as "Dilithium" (officially named the Module-Lattice-based Digital Signature Algorithm ML-DSA) will be standardized in the United States, and this algorithm is the technology adopted by the Bitcoin Quantum network. This algorithm has not yet been widely applied in rapidly innovating fields like cryptocurrency, primarily due to its high operational costs.Compared to the digital signatures used every time information is sent to the blockchain or even when sending a WhatsApp message, the data size of quantum-resistant algorithms increases by at least 200 times. Therefore, while there are methods to address quantum risks, they also pose problems, mainly reflected in performance and cost overhead during large-scale deployment.

Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on X platform that a newly emerged crypto advocacy group "Investors For Transparency" has aired advertisements during Fox News' prime time, calling on the public to oppose the provisions regarding decentralized finance (DeFi) in the upcoming crypto market structure bill, which is set to be voted on next week. The DeFi provisions have been one of the most controversial parts, sparking intense debates among lawmakers, traditional finance (TradFi), and within the cryptocurrency industry. Notably, UniSwap founder Hayden Adams revealed that the funding sources and supporter information of this crypto advocacy group seem to be very "mysterious" and have not been publicly disclosed.
