๐Ÿฟ ZachXBT harshly criticized Circle, stating that the company has been failing its own "compliance" for years โ€” only since 2022, there have been at least 15 cases with losses exceeding $420 million, where Circle could have frozen stolen USDC, but reacted too late or did nothing at all.

The main example is the recent hack of Drift Protocol: the hacker calmly withdrew $230 million in USDC via Circle's bridge over six hours, while the company took no action.

ZachXBT also recalled similar delays after the Nomad Bridge and Mango Markets hacks, noting that even Tether usually reacts faster in such situations.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation wants to exempt the services of official crypto exchangers and digital depositories from VAT, if they operate through the Central Bank's register.

In essence, the authorities are preparing a separate "legal" crypto infrastructure: only large Russian companies with a turnover of 3.5 million rubles or more and a license will be able to exchange crypto.

๐Ÿช’ Of the 41 tokens that entered exchanges in 2025, only 6 are currently trading above their listing price.

The rest ended up in the red โ€” projects enter the market too early, when they still don't have normal liquidity, demand, and token distribution.

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ญ Cambodia has decided to drastically tighten its fight against crypto scammers: parliament has approved a law under which organizers and participants of scam centers face 2 to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $125,000, and for working as part of a group โ€” twice as much.

This refers to the notorious "scam compounds," where people are often held by force and made to engage in crypto and investment scams.

โ˜ ๏ธ A married couple from the Irkutsk region lost about 1,600,000 rubles after believing in "profitable investments" in crypto and transferring money to fraudsters.

Initially, they invested small amounts, but later took out a loan for 1,000,000 rubles and credit cards, and when they tried to withdraw the money, they were asked for another "insurance" of a million.

The scheme turned out to be classic: a fake curator, a bogus investment account, and constant requests to transfer even more money.

โ˜ ๏ธ How Koreans "hacked" Drift Protocol for $285 000 000

North Korean hackers spent six months impersonating themselves as "quantum trading fund" employees, met with the Drift team at conferences, communicated on Telegram, and even invested $1 million of their own money to gain trust.

When relations became "working," they sent a repository with a file that exploited a vulnerability in Visual Studio Code and Cursor โ€” it was enough to simply open it.

After this, the hackers automatically deleted correspondence and traces of the attack, and about $285 million disappeared from the protocol โ€” the main weapon turned out to be not an exploit, but six months of patience and social engineering.

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต North Korean IT specialists have been infiltrating crypto companies and DeFi projects for about 7 years โ€” according to estimates by researchers, they have been involved with at least 40 platforms.

This is part of a broader activity related to the Lazarus Group, which is linked to the theft of approximately $7 billion in crypto.

Such employees may look like regular developers, but are used to gain access to infrastructure and subsequent attacks, including recent major hacks.
