😎#BTC Liquid Hacker Demands 10% of Stolen Funds The attacker, who presented himself as a "white hat hacker," abruptly shifted his tone, accusing Liquid of allegedly allocating a mere $1.5 million (or nothing at all) to protect $5 billion in assets, calling it gross negligence. The hacker demanded 10% of the stolen funds as a bounty for discovering the vulnerability. He threatened that otherwise, holders would incur losses of up to 15%. He also stated that he would later publish a private key to allow their correspondence to be decrypted.

👾#USDT Just two keys could put $91 billion in USDT at risk. Hacken found that compromising just two signing keys could potentially be enough to gain administrative control over USDT on the TRON network—minting new tokens, freezing addresses, and modifying contract parameters. Moreover, operations execute without any time delay, and there is no on-chain limit on issuance volume. Some keys are also shared across multiple networks. There are currently no signs of a breach, but Hacken rated USDT's cybersecurity at just 3.3 out of 10.

👍#GRAM Telegram is launching a non-custodial Gram Wallet. Pavel Durov announced that Gram Wallet is already available to a limited group of users, and in the coming weeks, it will gradually begin rolling out to the Telegram audience. Gram Wallet is linked to the account, and the first five transactions each day will be free. According to Durov, thanks to the new architecture, future wallet updates will not require complex migrations.

⚡️#Crypto July set a new record for monthly crypto card spending: crypto enthusiasts paid for $1.04 billion worth of goods and services using stablecoins.

👾#Crypto Hackers have stolen 594 BTC from Coldcard Mk3 hardware wallets. On July 30, around 594.5 BTC (roughly $38 million) was drained from about 500 wallets. Every affected address was single-sig — no multisig or Taproot wallets were involved. Seed phrases generated on Mk3 devices running firmware 4.0.1–5.0.3 (released since March 2021) may be compromised due to weak entropy (around 72 bits instead of 128+). In some cases, the random number generator skipped the hardware TRNG and relied on predictable inputs, including button presses during setup. This allowed attackers to reconstruct private keys offline.

🧠#AI HRL Laboratories has unveiled a silicon quantum processor featuring a cryogenic CMOS controller capable of performing real-time quantum error correction without relying on external room-temperature electronics. The system architecture consists of an 18-qubit chip, a cryogenic controller, and a superconducting ribbon cable. According to the researchers, control errors were reduced by a factor of 10 compared to previous demonstrations using this qubit technology, while individual gate operations were completed in under one microsecond. As the number of qubits increased under a repetition-code scheme, the system achieved roughly a fivefold suppression of errors. HRL says this marks the first demonstration of quantum error correction performed entirely by a cryogenic controller, with no involvement from room-temperature electronics.

🇨🇳#AI China's New AI Model: Risk for Bitcoin? - Moonshot AI unveiled Kimi K3, claiming it outperforms Claude and GPT on coding while being free and open-source. - If its performance is confirmed after the July 27 release, investors may question heavy AI spending, pressuring Nvidia and other AI-related stocks. - Since Bitcoin is increasingly correlated with AI and chip companies, a tech sell-off could also drag BTC lower. Reduced demand for AI infrastructure may also hurt mining firms expanding into AI data centers.

⚡️#BTC Strategy SOLD 3,588 BTC for $216 million to fund dividend payments on its Digital Credit securities.

🔹#ETH Ethereum is no longer the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency. Its spot has been taken by Tether’s USDT stablecoin. Another dollar-pegged stablecoin, Circle’s USDC, is also now among the top five cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

🤡#Crypto Michael Saylor admitted that he came up with the idea for STRC preferred shares with the help of ChatGPT.

📉#Crypto Q2 2026 is shaping up to be the worst quarter for ICOs/IDOs in the past five years. Only $58M was raised during the quarter — an 85% drop QoQ. The number of token sales also collapsed by 65%, falling from 105 in Q1 to just 37 in Q2.

✉️#TON Pavel Durov announced that the native currency of TON will become Gram. TON will remain the name of the blockchain.

🇬🇪#USDT Tether announced plans to introduce GEL₮, a stablecoin pegged to the Georgian lari, in collaboration with the Georgian government. The stablecoin aims to reduce transaction fees, facilitate almost immediate settlements, support programmable payments, and improve digital value transfers. Georgia has also strengthened its regulatory framework for digital assets and stablecoins by addressing reserve management, redemption protections, issuer supervision, and anti-money laundering requirements, while aligning its approach with developing U.S. stablecoin regulations such as the GENIUS Act.

👍#POLY Polymarket was exploited on Polygon. According to on-chain investigator ZachXBT, the vulnerability was found in the UMA CTF Adapter contract. So far, the attacker has withdrawn more than $520,000.

👾#Crypto The hacker group “TeamPCP” claims it gained access to GitHub’s internal systems and stole data from 4,000 private/internal repositories, including company source code and files, attempting to sell the data for $50,000 on dark web forums. GitHub said it is conducting an investigation, during which it discovered a compromised employee device infected through a VS Code extension.
