JUST IN: DeFi protocols lost over $168.6 million to 34 attacks in the first quarter of 2026, a significantly lower figure than the previous year.
Even so, experts warn that the lower number of attacks does not necessarily imply a safer environment, but rather a change in how and when attackers operate.
DefiLlama recorded 34 exploits against DeFi protocols between January and March 2026, resulting in losses of $168.6 million.

Iran's (IRGC) is reportedly using the digital stablecoin USDT on the Tron blockchain to fund military operations against the U.S. without touching the American banking system. They collect millions in transit tolls on strait of Hormuz and settle arms contracts through Tether (US Dollar backed). Iran has created a parallel financial infrastructure that bypasses sanctions and federal oversight. Consequently, the U.S. dollar—via its digital proxy—is effectively financing both sides of the conflict simultaneously.

#GateSquareAprilPostingChallenge The latest report published by the cryptocurrency analysis platform CryptoQuant points to a notable divergence in the Bitcoin market.
According to the analysis, due to sales by both individual investors and large wallet holders, Bitcoin demand is internally contracting, while a clear mismatch has emerged between market sentiment and capital flows.
The report states that although the Fear and Greed Index remains in the 8–14 range, indicating an "extreme fear" level, there was a net inflow of over $1 billion into spot Bitcoin ETFs in March. Meanwhile, the Coinbas

Is $ICP ‌ finally done with the bloodbath?
Looking at the daily, we just printed a nice little green candle after that long squeeze down to the $2.17 area. It’s a start, but I’m not throwing a party yet.
The price is hovering right around $2.32 which has flipped from support to a bit of a headache zone. If we can actually close above this and hold, we might have a shot at testing $2.58 again.
Volume is still pretty dry though, so this could easily just be a relief bounce before another leg down. I'm watching that $2.17 level like a hawk. If that fails, it's a straight drop to $2.01.

Ever wondered what makes Crypto so secure and special? It’s all thanks to Blockchain Technology! 💎 But how does it actually work in simple terms?
​Think of it like this:
1️⃣ A Digital Ledger: Imagine a giant digital notebook where every transaction is recorded. Once something is written, it cannot be erased or changed. 📖
2️⃣ Blocks & Chains: Information is stored in "Blocks." Once a block is full, it is chained to the previous one, creating a permanent history. 🔗
3️⃣ Decentralization: No single bank or government owns it. It’s run by thousands of computers worldwide, making it transparent a

JUST IN: US stock exchanges are moving toward a 24/7 trading model, a change that experts say could reduce the ability of certain brokers to take advantage of low liquidity after hours and affect their clients stop loss orders.
The debate involves market structure, regulatory oversight, and a long standing Wall Street promise that small investors can react in real time, without being caught out when the market is closed.
Experts argue that 24/7 trading could limit brokers historical advantages during low liquidity sessions.

#Web3SecurityGuide
In Web3, your seed phrase is the ultimate master key to all your on-chain assets. Write it down physically, keep copies in multiple separate, secure locations, and never type it into any website, app, or AI chatbot — including this one. The moment it touches an internet-connected device, assume it is compromised. Think of it as the single point of failure: once lost or stolen, there is no recovery.
Hardware wallets exist for a reason. Cold storage is your fortress. Store the majority of your assets offline and only keep in a hot wallet what you can afford to lose entirely.
