🏆 Top-10 biggest crypto hacks & exploits of this summer

🚀 $WLFI Trading Has Begun!

The hype around the Trump-family token is real:

💰 Trader 6ccDoT made $263,866 in just 10 minutes trading WLFI.
🐋 Whale 0xf30c opened a $2.2M long at 1x leverage.

Big players are stacking harder than ever — accumulation mode is on. 🤔

📈 Ethereum closed the last month of summer at its highest level since 2021 (44 months!).

🔹 RSI and MACD show a bullish trend, while CryptoQuant notes strong demand for ETH despite recent corrections.
🔹 On Binance, BTC reserves stay stable, but ETH reserves are shrinking — investors are prioritizing accumulation.
🔹 A Satoshi-era whale has already shifted $4B from BTC into ETH. 🐳

ETH momentum is growing — accumulation signals may be pointing to the next big move. 🚀

Volatility ahead — September could once again test BTC’s resilience. 🧐

💥Today DeFi Disasters

1️⃣ Bunni DEX – $8.4M Exploit
Hackers exploited a flaw in Bunni’s Liquidity Distribution Function, draining ETH & stablecoins. All smart contracts paused; Uniswap v4 safe.

2️⃣ Venus Protocol – $30M Loss
Not a hack, but a user error: phishing tricked a trader into approving malicious transfers, losing $30M in vUSDT, vUSDC & BTCB. Funds remain in attacker’s contract.

🚨 Takeaways: Withdraw funds from risky platforms, revoke approvals, use hardware wallets, and always double-check links. In DeFi, one mistake—human or technical—can cost millions. 🤷

🛠 Ethereum Testnet Update

Ethereum is shutting down its largest testnet, Holesky, after the upcoming Fusaka fork in late September. Active since Sept 2023, Holesky tested staking and updates like Dencun & Pectra.

Looking ahead:

▪️Nov 2025: Fusaka hard fork → faster, cheaper rollups
▪️2026: Glamsterdam upgrade → block time cut to 6s ⏱️
