$ETH The incident occurred when our multi-signature cold ETH wallet made a transfer to our hot wallet. Unfortunately, this transaction was compromised using a sophisticated attack that masked the signing interface, displaying the correct address, while changes were made to the smart contract logic, - Bybit reported. The CEO of the crypto exchange also assured users of the full solvency of the platform and that all assets on deposits are secured in a 1:1 ratio. Despite the fact that Bybit management says that there is nothing to worry about, the theft of $ 1.4 billion has shocked the crypto community.
#GasFeeImpact Please rest assured that all other cold wallets are protected. All payments are proceeding as usual. I will keep you updated as the situation develops. If any team can help us track down the stolen funds, we will be grateful, Zhou said. At the same time, the crypto exchange team reported how the incident took place.
#WalletActivityInsights The first to detect suspicious transactions was crypto detective ZachXBT. He said that 401,346 ETH worth $1.46 billion were withdrawn from the Bybit crypto exchange to an unknown wallet. The hackers then distributed the stolen assets across several addresses to avoid tracking. ZachXBT published a list of these addresses on its official Telegram channel, calling on exchanges to blacklist them.
The exchange's co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou later confirmed the hack, but specified that the hacker took control of a specific ETH cold wallet.
#MarketSentimentWatch Earlier, the American writer explained what economic laws contribute to the growth of Bitcoin and why this cryptocurrency can compete with state currencies. Recently, Kiyosaki criticized the TRUMP memecoin issued by President Donald Trump, saying that the token has no “basic fundamental factors.”
#TokenMovementSignals Unlike many investors who panic when the market crashes, Kiyosaki says he sees opportunities in downturns. The writer made it clear that he will not sell his bitcoins even if the cryptocurrency crashes. Instead, he plans to buy more of the first cryptocurrency. Kiyosaki does not trust the US dollar and believes that bitcoin is a more reliable hedge against economic crisis. “If there is a giant crash and the bubble bursts... Stocks and bonds, real estate, gold and silver, and even bitcoin will crash with it. If it crashes, will I sell my bitcoins? No. If the price of bitcoin crashes, I will buy more. Why? Because bitcoin will recover faster than all other assets and rise to higher highs,” Kiyosaki wrote on social media.
#ActiveUserImpact Kiyosaki said that with inflation and government debt rising in the US, as well as the increase in layoffs, the world is on the brink of financial collapse. If a catastrophe occurs, it will not only affect the stock market and real estate - gold, silver and bitcoin will also be seriously affected, the writer believes. These are the assets that Kiyosaki usually recommends investors invest in to preserve and increase their savings.

$BTC "Thus, we believe that the supply chain is successfully managing the short-term mismatch between the deliveries of Blackwell compute boards (which are currently increasing) and the deliveries of OEM/ODM Blackwell GB200 racks," write analysts led by Timothy Arcuri in their note.
Due to a significant increase in the production of Blackwell compute boards in the second half of Nvidia's fourth fiscal quarter, many customers have likely switched to more affordable Blackwell SKUs, such as the B200 on the air-cooled HGX platform. This shift is attributed to customers' desire to implement Blackwell technology even one or two months earlier, UBS notes, rather than waiting for a complete resolution of the power issues with the GB200 racks.
Analysts predict that Blackwell's revenue in the fourth fiscal quarter will be around $9 billion, which they believe will more than double in the first fiscal quarter, exceeding $20 billion, equivalent to approximately 700,000 units.
#FTXrepayment UBS analysts said they expect "strong results" from Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and guidance that will meet or beat market expectations for total revenue and data center metrics.
The investment bank forecasts Nvidia's fiscal first quarter revenue guidance to meet or beat investor expectations, coming in at about $42.5 billion to $43 billion for total revenue and about $38.5 billion to $39 billion for the data center segment. The analysts emphasized that Nvidia recognizes revenue from its Blackwell compute boards upon shipment, rather than waiting for finished racks to arrive from OEM/ODM partners.
