😵‍💫 Weekend’s over, new week starts… and here we go again — another celeb token! Any guesses who pulled it off this time?

🚩 Where Are the Stolen $1.46B from Bybit Going? Hackers have already started moving the funds, and here’s how their scheme works: 1️⃣ Swapping wrapped tokens (stETH, cmETH, mETH) for ETH.

▶️Wrapped tokens are just ETH in a different form, used for specific services like staking. Before spending or selling, they need to be converted back to regular ETH.

2️⃣ Converting ETH to BTC through bridges (THORChain, ChainFlip) and the Exch exchange. 3️⃣ Distributing BTC across multiple wallets. What happens next? 🧐 🔴BTC will be sent to crypto mixers (JoinMarket, Wasabi, etc.) to hide the transaction trail. 🔴Some BTC will be converted back to ETH or moved to other chains (Avalanche, Arbitrum, etc.) 🔴Funds will be cashed out via Tron (TRC20) and Asian platforms, including Huione and services linked to Black U. In some cases, BTT bridge and USDD are used for laundering.

▶️ This process can take years, especially considering the massive amount — nearly $1.5B.

‼️ These funds are already flagged as stolen. If they end up in your transactions, your assets could be frozen or confiscated. How to protect yourself? 🔐 Always check incoming transactions — better to spend a minute on an AML check than deal with frozen funds later. Stay aware and secure! 👋 Match Systems

☄️ This week, everyone’s talking about the $1.46B stolen from Bybit. But have you thought about where this money will actually end up? We’ll break it down in today’s post — because this isn’t just Bybit’s problem, it affects the whole crypto space. Drop a 🔥 to keep our SMM motivated!

🔥 Crypto Weekly: What’s Happening in the Market? Another wild week in crypto! Let’s break down the biggest stories 👇 🚨 Bybit Hack – $1.46B Stolen The biggest crypto hack in history – Bybit was hit for $1.46 billion. The exchange has already restored its ETH reserves, but hackers have laundered $335M, with $900M still moving. ▶️ Bybit launched Lazarus Bounty, offering $140M (10% of stolen funds) for those who help track down the hackers. ✖️ Did Kanye West Sell His X Account for $20M? Rumors are spreading that Kanye sold his X account to Barkmeta, who might use it to launch a token.

▶️ Barkmeta has been involved in similar projects before — last year, they helped launch $MOTHER by Iggy Azalea.

🔻 USDT Transfers on Tron Will Be Gas-Free Next Week You won’t need TRX to cover gas fees anymore — USDT transfers on Tron will be 100% free.

▶️ Tron cements its position as the top network for stablecoins. ▶️ P2P and OTC markets will heavily adopt Tron. ▶️ Ethereum, BSC, and other chains might lose USDT transaction volume.

☄️ Infini Neobank Loses $49M Due to Private Key Leak Hackers gained access to the platform’s wallet and drained $49M USDC, which they later converted into ETH. 🇦🇪 Dubai Recognizes USDC & EURC as Official Stablecoins For the first time, Dubai’s financial regulators have officially recognized stablecoins.

▶️ This is a major step toward bridging crypto with traditional finance in the region.

🧬 Pump.fun Twitter Hack – Another Solana Scam Hackers took over Pump.fun’s Twitter and launched a fake token, scamming users out of $500K.

▶️ The crazy part? The scam wasn’t even launched on Pump.fun — it was done through Raydium, and no one noticed.

☠️ Hackers Are Using GitHub to Steal Crypto GitVenom – a new attack targeting developers through fake GitHub projects.

These fake repos contain: ▶️ Remote access trojans (RATs). ▶️ Malware that steals passwords and wallet data. ▶️ Clipboard hijackers that replace wallet addresses. ❗️ Always verify code before downloading!

🧬 First Solana ETF in the US? A Solana ETF has been listed on DTCC, the platform that processes trades for US stock exchanges.

▶️ If the SEC approves it, institutional investors will have easy access to Solana, leading to a potential surge in capital inflow.

🟠 $1.6B Pulled from Bitcoin ETFs in 2 Days As market fear rises, institutional investors are cashing out, withdrawing $1.6B from Bitcoin ETFs in just 2 days.

▶️This signals profit-taking and possible short-term corrections.

💬 Crypto moves fast — what surprised you the most this week? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👋 Match Systems

😨 $763K stolen in a classic scam So, who got it right? Here’s the trick 👇 A victim lost $763,662 after copying a scammer’s address that looked almost identical to the real one — same first 4 and last 6 characters.

😏 This is a dust attack. Hackers send tiny transactions to your wallet, filling your history with fake addresses. One wrong copy-paste — and funds are gone.

⚠️ Never copy addresses from transaction history and always double-check before sending. Even our team has received poisoned transactions — one small mistake, and your crypto is gone. Stay sharp! 👋 Match Systems

Scammers don’t need to hack you — you send them money yourself 😵‍💫💸 Some hack exchanges, but others use a sneaky trick that even pros fall for. One wrong move — funds gone. 💬 Any guesses? What’s the scam? Drop your thoughts below — we’ll break it down soon!

🥱 Good morning! Waking up to extreme fear? Greed & Fear Index just hit 10 – one of the lowest levels in a long time. Panic is everywhere, but smart money knows: fear = opportunity. Are you buying the dip or waiting it out? 👀

🔻 USDT with no fees? Next week, Tron is making USDT transfers completely free. No more TRX needed for gas — just send without extra costs. What does this change? ▶️ USDT on Tron becomes the easiest stablecoin for transfers. ▶️ P2P and OTC markets will rely on Tron even more. ▶️ More transactions = more power for Tron. ▶️ Ethereum, BSC, Arbitrum, and Solana could lose some volume.

🤔 It’s not generosity — it’s strategy. Right now, half of all USDT transactions go through Tron, and Sun wants even more control. If most stablecoin transfers happen on Tron, it becomes the go-to network for USDT, leaving competitors behind.

🚀 Revolution or just a calculated move? What do you think? 👋 Match Systems

🚨 New Scam: “Your Binance Account Has Been Hacked” 📲 Users receive an SMS from “Binance” claiming their account is being hacked from another region. Calling the number in the message? The scam begins. They tell you to urgently create a SafePal wallet, call it a “Binance partner”, and even link to an article to make it sound legit. The next step? Transfer all your funds “for security.”

▶️ In reality, the money goes straight to the scammers.

⚠️ Binance will NEVER ask you to transfer funds for “security reasons” ✅ Ignore such messages and always verify your account only through the official app. Scammers prey on fear. Stay calm, stay safe! 👋 Match Systems

🚨 Infini Neobank Suffers $49.5 Million Hack Due to Private Key Leak

▶️Date: February 24, 2025 ▶️Stolen funds: $49.5M USDC ▶️Cause: Private key leak

⚠️ Attack details: The stolen funds were drained from the USDC Vault Infini wallet in two transactions: 1️⃣ First withdrawal: 11,455,666 USDC 2️⃣ Second: 38,060,996 USDC

📌 Wallet addresses involved: 🔴USDC Vault Infini wallet: 0x9A79f4105A4e1A050Ba0b42F25351D394fA7E1DC 🔴Hacker’s wallet: 0x3ac96134Fb0e42a52D33045AeE50b89790f05Ed0 🔴New wallet (where ETH was moved): 0xfcC8Ad911976d752890f2140D9F4edd2c64a6e49

💡 Preliminary analysis suggests the attack was due to a leaked private key. The stolen funds were exchanged for 17,696 ETH and transferred to a new wallet. ‼️ Hacker’s wallet was initially activated using Tornado.cash mixer, a common tool for hiding transaction trails. Despite the severity of the breach, Infini's founder has assured users that they will receive full compensation for their losses 👋 Match Systems

😨 Another hack – Infini Neobank lost $49.5M due to a private key leak. We don’t want to overload you with posts, but this one can’t be ignored. Our analysts are already working on the details, and we’ll share an update soon. Drop a 🔥 if you’re waiting for the breakdown!

⚠️ Bybit Hack Update Bybit fully restored its reserves just 3 days after the $1.4B hack. The exchange bought 446K ETH through OTC deals and loans to cover the losses. ❗️ Where’s the stolen ETH? Hackers have laundered $140M through several DEXs so far but still hold $1.26B. It should be noted that one of the entities involved in laundering funds from the Bybit hack had previously launched and traded meme coins on Pump Fun. ▶️ Hackers, often called Lazarus Group by many, are behind the attack. They are now one of the top 14 ETH holders, surpassing even Vitalik and the Ethereum Foundation. ❓ One exchange refuses to help While major platforms are blocking stolen funds, eXch declined to cooperate, allowing hackers to cash out through its platform. ▶️ Arkham has offered a reward for any information that can help identify the hackers. ‼️ The biggest crypto hack in history, but the situation is under control. Bybit has recovered, and efforts to track the stolen funds are ongoing. Let’s see how this unfolds. 👋 Match Systems

🚨 Bybit lost nearly $1.5 billion in one of the largest hacker attacks 🚨 On February 21, 2025, the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit suffered one of the largest hacker attacks in history. The attackers managed to withdraw 401,346 ETH and tens of thousands of wrapped ETH tokens (STETH, CMETH, METH), totaling nearly $1.5 billion. Bybit has already confirmed the incident and is conducting an investigation. ⚠️ Hacker’s Actions: 🔴The stolen ETH was split into 40 new wallets, each holding 10,000 ETH. 🔴The hacker began swapping STETH, CMETH, and METH for native ETH and distributed them across 9 new addresses. 🔴An attempt was made to withdraw 15,000 CMETH via the smart contract 0x12Be34bE..., but the transaction failed—possibly because the contract blocked the funds. 🔥 Community Reaction and Security Measures 💬 The crypto community is already calling this one of the largest attacks on a centralized exchange. Bybit is cooperating with blockchain analysts and law enforcement to track the stolen assets. ✍️ Security Lessons for Centralized Exchanges This incident once again highlights the risks associated with centralized exchanges and the importance of: ✅ Multi-factor authentication ✅ Real-time transaction monitoring ✅ Enhanced withdrawal limits We will continue to monitor the situation.

🚨 Bybit Confirms Hack! 🚨 The CEO of Bybit stated that hackers used a fake interface that altered the smart contract logic, allowing them to gain full control over the wallet. All ETH were withdrawn to an unknown address. 📌 All other hot and cold wallets remain secure. 📌 Withdrawals are operating as usual. 📌 560M USDT were transferred within Bybit’s wallet cluster—no funds have been recovered yet. The exchange is requesting assistance in tracking the stolen assets. Our specialists are investigating the incident. 🔍

☄️ $44M Gone Forever – User Mistake or Intentional Burn? 🔴A user accidentally sent 17,362 MKR ($20.2M) to a burn address. 🔴A few hours later, the same wallet burned another 20,933 MKR ($24.4M)

▶️Blockchain transactions can’t be reversed. The money is gone.

🔥 What’s a Burn Address? A burn address is a one-way wallet with no private key. Once tokens are sent there, no one can access or recover them — they’re permanently removed from circulation. 📊 How Does It Work? 🔴Any tokens sent to this address are permanently removed from circulation. 🔴No one, not even developers, can access the wallet. 🔴Used to artificially create scarcity. Projects burn tokens intentionally to: ▶️ Reduce supply → potentially increase price. ▶️ Combat inflation. ▶️ Manipulate market supply.

❗️ But when a user makes a mistake, it’s not a strategy — it’s just a lost deposit.

✅ How to Avoid Burning Your Tokens? 1️⃣ Double-check addresses before sending. 2️⃣ Don’t copy manually – use QR codes or saved addresses. 3️⃣ Verify contracts on Etherscan/BSCScan if unsure.

⚠️ Blockchain doesn’t forgive mistakes. One wrong click — funds are gone forever.
