The exchange forcibly converted all user USD1 to USDT and called the freeze disproportionate — the latest rupture between a Trump-linked project and a major venue.
The clash crystallises a broader retail-trader grievance: high-profile commentators touting tokens publicly then quietly rotating out before the bid thins out, leaving followers holding the bag.
Five storylines from the week that matter for DeFi: Hyperliquid's perp volume peaks, Radiant Capital plans a wind-down, Polymarket alleges Kalshi espionage, Kelp DAO's bridge loses funds, and the…
The same engineer who used Anthropic's Opus 4.8 to surface a four-year-old Zcash flaw says he is queuing Monero and other privacy coins — and the disclosure-only playbook is now under market test.
The hacker behind the Pando Rings exploit has made an unexpected move: spending 10 million DAI to accumulate 6,243 ETH…
Peter Schiff, the veteran gold advocate and long-standing crypto skeptic, is urging investors to brace for a sharp…
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.
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…
A shielded-address flaw let attackers forge balances, and ZEC halved in hours. The bid from a wallet pulling 37,316 $ZEC off Binance shows some large holders see dislocation, not damage.
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…
Zcash has shed more than half its value in a sharp selloff triggered by a bug disclosure, with cascading liquidations…
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.
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…
Zcash plunged 48.4% in 24 hours to $272.79, one of the sharpest single-day collapses in the token's history, after an…
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.
Hayes is the loudest voice in crypto calling out Zcash's trust model — his exit is the first time a major figure has priced in a privacy exploit as a deal-breaker rather than a bug.
