Address poisoning attacks are becoming an increasing threat in the cryptocurrency world. These attacks exploit the way users manage their transaction histories and address information.

Hackers monitor the transfer information of various stablecoins on the blockchain, then create a malicious address that closely mimics the user’s address by having the same first and last digits.

The hacker sends an empty transaction to the victim, making the fake address appear in the victim’s transaction history.

⚠️🚨 Address Poisoning Attack is a Rising Threat in the Crypto World 🚨

Address Poisoning Attack has been here for quite some time but has been wreaking havoc in recent weeks, with over 340K addresses affected and more than $1.64M stolen. 😱💸

When the victim later copies an address from their history for a transfer, they may accidentally copy the hacker’s address instead of their intended recipient’s. This simple yet dangerous trick can lead to substantial financial losses.

Recent on-chain reports from OnchainDataNerd reveal significant activity involving $ONDO.

Approximately 16 million $ONDO tokens, valued at around $19.37 million, were transferred from Coinbase’s custody wallet to several venture capital entities, including Teneo, Arrington, and others, across platforms such as Bybit, Kucoin, and Gate. This substantial transfer occurred just a few hours ago.

Similar Event Two Weeks Ago Resulted In A 20% Price Drop In $ONDO

Notably, a similar event took place three weeks ago, which led to a 20% drop in $ONDO’s price. The recurrence of such large transfers raises concerns about short-term price stability. However, it also highlights the strategic positioning of $ONDO within the portfolios of major institutional investors.

Despite the current bearish sentiment, $ONDO’s long-term potential remains strong. The token’s unique value proposition as a decentralized investment bank for DeFi positions it well for future growth.

Litecoin has emerged as the most active blockchain in the world, consistently surpassing Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH) in terms of authentic active addresses.

According to data from @intotheblock, Litecoin’s addresses that made one or more on-chain transactions have outpaced those of its more well-known counterparts. This trend underscores Litecoin’s growing adoption as a global currency.

— Litecoin (@litecoin) June 26, 2024

The increased activity on the Litecoin network indicates a significant rise in its usage for everyday transactions. With more addresses making frequent on-chain transactions, Litecoin is demonstrating its utility as a medium of exchange.

This surge in activity suggests that users are increasingly turning to Litecoin for its speed and low transaction fees, making it a preferred choice for many.

Litecoin’s Limited Supply Boosts Its Adoption 

One of the key factors contributing to Litecoin’s adoption is its limited supply. Litecoin is a provably scarce asset, with a maximum supply capped at 84 million LTC. Currently, over 74.6 million LTC are in circulation.

In economic terms, assets that are scarce and in high demand tend to hold their value and even appreciate over time. This scarcity, combined with increasing demand, positions Litecoin as a valuable digital asset.

Litecoin's limited supply makes it a provably scarce asset. In economics, scarce assets that are in higher demand. Only a maximum of 84 million $LTC will ever exist, of which over 74.6 million are currently in circulation. #Litecoin ⚡️ https://t.co/xmpbTM5dfA

— Litecoin (@litecoin) June 23, 2024

The economic principle of supply and demand plays a significant role here. As more users adopt Litecoin and its utility as a global currency becomes more apparent, the demand for LTC increases. Given its limited supply, this heightened demand is likely to drive up its value, benefiting long-term holders.

Litecoin’s price will rise massively as it’s being adopted as global money.

It will continue to happen for the next two decades.

— master Ⓜ️🕸 (@MASTERBTCLTC) June 26, 2024

In conclusion, Litecoin’s rise in active addresses and its limited supply underscore its growing adoption and potential as a global currency.

As more users transact on the Litecoin network, its position as a valuable digital asset strengthens. This trend not only highlights Litecoin’s current utility but also its promising future in the cryptocurrency space.

Over the past 30 days, Solana has solidified its position as a top contender in the blockchain space, boasting an impressive 290 million decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions, the highest among all blockchains.

This follows the 2021 launch of the Solana Trust Fund by Grayscale, designed for institutional and high-net-worth investors. However, it’s important to note that the Trust’s SOL will not be used to earn staking rewards or generate additional income.

More Light Into The Solana ETF News 

Despite these advancements, Solana faces challenges in its ETF application process. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana does not have a futures ETF, which complicates its path to approval. Furthermore, the SEC previously ruled that SOL is a security, leading to its delisting from platforms like Robinhood.

Nevertheless, Solana’s rapid growth in user transactions and its expanding trader base underscore its potential. The blockchain’s ability to handle a high volume of transactions efficiently makes it an attractive option for users and investors alike.

If VanEck’s spot ETF application is approved, it could mark a significant step forward for Solana, enhancing its credibility and opening new avenues for investment.

As the blockchain industry evolves, Solana’s innovative approach and robust performance metrics position it as a formidable player, poised to challenge established leaders and redefine user experiences in the decentralized finance space.

The surge in $MAGANOMICS coincides with former President Donald Trump’s declaration that he will be using the term “Maganomics” throughout his debates and potentially during his next term if elected. This political endorsement appears to have significantly boosted the token’s appeal among investors and traders.

In the last 24 hours, $MAGANOMICS has emerged as one of the top two accumulated tokens by Smart Money. Having been listed for just over eight days, the meme coin’s value has skyrocketed by more than 1000%, capturing the attention of the crypto community.

Smart Traders Makes Strategic Moves, Buying $MAGANOMICS

Notably, the past two hours have seen substantial buying volumes from Smart DEX Traders. A particular standout is the activity from wallet 0x536e, which has purchased nearly $31.3K worth of $MAGANOMICS. The owner’s balance suggests a strong conviction, as it appears they have gone all-in on $MAGANOMICS.

This massive influx of investment and the token’s rapid rise underscore the powerful influence of political narratives on the crypto market. The backing by a high-profile figure like Trump has clearly played a pivotal role in driving demand and boosting $MAGANOMICS’s profile.

As $MAGANOMICS continues to capture headlines and attract investors, its future trajectory will be closely watched. The token’s recent performance demonstrates the volatile yet potentially lucrative nature of meme coins, especially those tied to influential public figures and current events.

Whether $MAGANOMICS can sustain this momentum remains to be seen, but for now, it stands as a testament to the unpredictable and dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market.

LayerZero is making waves in the blockchain space, despite recent slowdowns in farming activities. With a Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of under $3 billion, LayerZero $ZRO boasts over 10 times the daily cross-chain message traffic compared to its closest competitors, Wormhole and Axelar Network.

According to Cody (@0xhopydoc), with LayerZero’s FDV below $3 billion, this price level is deemed reasonable for buying in. Comparing LayerZero to Wormhole and Axelar, he emphasizes the project’s substantial potential at its current valuation.

As LayerZero continues to outpace its competitors in cross-chain transactions, its market position appears robust, suggesting now might be an opportune time to invest.

Despite the bearish sentiment, the Arbitrum DAO has proposed an intriguing initiative to launch $ARB staking. The proposal suggests using 50% of surplus sequencer fees to reward $ARB stakers.

The ARB New Staking Proposal Receives Public Acceptance 

The proposal has garnered positive public feedback, even though staking would not commence until at least September. A key aspect of this proposal is the requirement for staked tokens to be delegated to a delegate with a Karma Score.

This score reflects their participation in DAO forums and votes, both off-chain and on-chain. Delegates would earn 1% of the surplus fees, incentivizing active governance participation.

This move aims to fortify the DAO, which currently holds over $50 million in surplus fees in its treasury but sees only 10% of $ARB actively participating in governance.

The limited engagement makes the DAO susceptible to attacks. By sharing a portion of its revenue with token holders, the DAO seeks to enhance its security and incentivize more active participation.

As regulatory environments improve and successful proposals like this one are implemented, it is hoped that other DAOs with substantial treasuries will adopt similar revenue-sharing mechanisms. This could lead to a more robust and participatory governance model across the decentralized finance ecosystem.
