Court rulings, lawsuits, settlements, indictments, and litigation involving crypto firms and protocols.
A four-year-old Zcash flaw surfaced by an AI model sends the same warning to every bank and protocol still running unverified code: the defender has to be right every time, the attacker only once.
Artemis data shows only one major digital asset treasury — Hyperliquid Strategies — is still in the green, with roughly $1.2B in unrealized gains.
Tom Lee's Bitmine is staring down a $10 billion unrealized loss on its Ethereum position, a staggering paper deficit…
The bug is patched, but Shielded Labs admits there is no cryptographic way to prove it was never exploited — that uncertainty, not the flaw itself, is what crashed ZEC and crowded traders into a…
The flaw sat in the zero-knowledge circuit behind Orchard's shielded pool, was found with Anthropic's Opus 4.8, and a five-day emergency response contained it; the harder question is whether privacy…
STRC's depeg is the first stress test of a synthetic-dollar peg backed by a single equity — and it surfaces as BTC slides, putting a new corner of DeFi liquidity under the microscope.
CME Group CEO Terry Duffy has issued a stark warning about the push to introduce perpetual futures contracts in US…
The bug lived undetected for four years and let a hacker print unlimited ZEC; Hayes calling his exit after a 30% drop is the sentiment line, but the supply-integrity question is what the rest of the…
The concern isn't the 32 BTC sold — it's that softer preferred-share prices could force more BTC sales down the line, prolonging the drawdown.
The flaw was theoretical-cum-practical: an AI audit surfaced a soundness break in the proof system that, unpatched, would have eroded the entire shielded supply.
Strategy alone carries roughly $11B in unrealized losses on 843,706 BTC, with $10B+ already sitting on the books of the eight largest pure-play holders before the latest leg down.
Hayes cited an unpatched cryptographic flaw in Zcash's Orchard Pool that could theoretically have allowed silent ZEC minting for years — and said privacy-coin narratives can't survive that kind of…
South Korean law enforcement has launched an investigation into domestic users of Polymarket, the decentralised…
Zcash plunged 48% after it emerged that Claude AI identified a critical vulnerability in the ZEC protocol that would…
The flaw let an attacker mint unlimited untraceable ZEC since Orchard activated in May 2022 — and Shielded Labs cannot rule out prior exploitation before the June 1 emergency patch.
The vulnerability could have minted unlimited counterfeit ZEC without detection, and the fact that it survived years of cryptographic review is now the more uncomfortable read than the 30% drop.
A patched Orchard circuit vulnerability — present since May 2022 — turned a 31% ZEC drawdown into a referendum on whether AI-assisted white-hat review can outrun AI-assisted attackers.
The vulnerability was real, exploitable, and disclosed on May 29 — but Orchard’s privacy design makes it cryptographically impossible to prove the bug was never used before the June 2 patch.
A flaw patched within four days could have let attackers mint unlimited untraceable ZEC — the disclosure itself is the structural win, not a market-mover.
Thirteen straight sessions of ETF outflows meet a cost-of-production floor near $60K, while Schwab's research chief argues miner economics mark the bottom — and every prior bear cycle touched this…
