🦊 Rumors are swirling once again that MetaMask is about to launch its own token — something first hinted at back in 2021, when a ConsenSys co-founder mentioned the possibility. Since then, similar news has surfaced more than once — but the token still hasn’t materialized.

Recently, one of MetaMask’s co-founders confirmed the idea is still on the table, but no decisions have been made. Any official updates will come through MetaMask’s own channels — don’t fall for fakes.

☠️ Coinbase lost up to $400 000 000 due to a recent data breach (covering investigation costs, compensation, and enhanced security) — hackers gained access to customer information by bribing overseas call center employees.

The company refused to pay the ransom and pledged to reimburse affected users. Less than 1% of customers were impacted, and no passwords or funds were compromised.

🪙 Binance has asked the court to dismiss FTX’s $1.76 billion lawsuit, calling it “legally baseless.” The exchange’s lawyers argue that FTX is trying to shift blame for its collapse onto Binance and CZ.

They also claim that the U.S. court lacks jurisdiction since Binance is registered outside the United States.
