Forgot about Litecoin? Big mistake!
π Litecoin processes daily transactions over $100,000, averaging $2.85 billion! That's more than 50% of LTC's market cap and surpasses most Layer 1 networks.
π For comparison, Dogecoin handles $590 million in large transactions daily, despite having three times the market cap.
This suggests significant whale activity on the Litecoin network. π³πΈ

π¨ Squarespace Hack Threatens Over 220 DeFi Protocols! π
A DNS attack on Squarespace has put interfaces of around 228 DeFi projects at risk, reports Ido Ben-Natan, CEO of Blockaid.

πΊπΈ US Congress Fails to Override Biden's Veto on Repealing SAB 121
π€· On July 11, the lower house of the US Congress did not gather the necessary two-thirds majority to override the President's veto on a bill aimed at repealing SAB 121. The document essentially prohibited banks from holding digital assets on their balance sheets.
π The bulletin remains in effect. 228 congressmen voted for its annulment, but 290 votes were required. If the barrier had been passed, a similar decision would have been needed from 67 out of 100 senators.
The SEC issued SAB 121 in April 2022. In February 2024, four industry organizations requested the agency to soften the document's provisions.

π Expert Tracks Stolen DMM Bitcoin Assets
Since the beginning of July, over $35 million, stolen in the May hack of the cryptocurrency exchange DMM Bitcoin, has been laundered through the Cambodian online marketplace Huione Guarantee. This was highlighted by on-chain researcher ZachXBT.
How the hackers operated:
βͺοΈThey routed the stolen bitcoins through mixers.
βͺοΈExchanged them for Ethereum and Avalanche via the cross-chain liquidity protocol THORChain.
βͺοΈConverted the assets to USDT, then to Tron.
βͺοΈFinally, the assets ended up on Huione Guarantee.
π« One transaction amounting to $29.6 million was blocked on July 12 when the stablecoin issuer Tether blacklisted one of the hacker's Tron wallets.
π‘ ZachXBT suspects that the Lazarus Group is behind this incident due to the similarity in money laundering methods and off-chain indicators.
π He also shared 538 wallets involved in the exchange hack.
