Hacks kill most DeFi projects. But there’s a way to boost odds of survival
Fewer than half of all DeFi protocols that suffer a hack or exploit survive the experience.
That’s according to research from Cozy Finance, a blockchain-based market that offers DeFi businesses “FDIC-like” insurance.
Cozy reviewed the experience of 64 projects that had at least $1 million in user deposits at the time of the hack. Only 39%, or 25 of those projects, survived.

Why BlackRock’s Bitcoin explainer is raising alarm bells
BlackRock is caught in the eye of a storm from the Bitcoin community after it let out a suspicious line in a three minute Bitcoin explainer.
In the video, the narrator describes one of BItcoin’s core aspects, its 21 million fixed supply, as a hard-coded rule. Yet a subtle disclaimer at the bottom caught Bitcoiners’ attention.

Sam Altman’s eye-scanning crypto project needs to take a second look at its European operations.

Even Bitcoiners say a US strategic reserve is a bad idea
Bitcoiners are beginning to call into question the idea of a US Bitcoin Strategic Reserve.
The idea, floated by Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis, and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, would create a stockpile of Bitcoin in the hands of the US government.
Lummis proposed a bill that would mean the US buy 1 million Bitcoin over the course of five years. Yesterday, a think tank dubbed the Bitcoin Policy Institute outlined an executive order for President-elect Donald Trump that wo

What will Bitcoin hitting $100,000 mean for altcoins like XRP and Solana?
Bitcoin is consolidating above $100,000 and heading into “uncharted waters.”
Altcoins, however, have struggled to keep up with Bitcoin’s barnstorming run this year.
Apart from XRP, Solana and a few other cryptocurrencies, the altcoin market has largely lagged Bitcoin’s growth in 2024.
Ethereum, crypto’s second-biggest asset, is perhaps the best indicator of the underperformance of altcoins compared to Bitcoin.
It’s up only 69% this year, compared to Bitcoin’s 150% year-to-date performance. U

VanEck says look for these two warning signs on Bitcoin’s path to $180,000
If history repeats itself, Bitcoin will continue its stunning post-election climb and hit $180,000 next year, according to Wall Street asset manager VanEck.
But company analysts could be wrong. If they are, two data points will be flashing red: Bitcoin funding rates and traders’ “relative unrealised profit,” the company’s chief crypto analyst said Tuesday.

‘Remain vigilant’ as Fed rate cut priced in to crypto markets, experts say
Market players are overwhelmingly anticipating an interest rate cut at the US Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday.
That means rate cuts are already priced in to markets, helping so-called risk-on assets surge higher.
But the Fed might adopt a “more hawkish tone” in the meeting, which could dampen the crypto rally, Haider Rafique, Global CMO of OKX told DL News.
That would signal more aggressive moves from the Fed.

Australia slaps Binance with lawsuit alleging it let retail customers trade risky derivatives
Retail customers of Binance in Australia weren’t shielded by consumer protections for risky derivatives that led to big losses, regulators in the country claimed in a lawsuit Wednesday.
From July 2022 to April 2023, Binance miscategorized over 500 customers on its Australian derivatives exchange as “wholesale clients,” the Australian Securities and Investments Commission said.
This means that these customers did not receive the same protections that smaller-pocketed investors do, including the
