Ledger Exploit Endangers DeFi, Sushi Says 'Do Not Interact With ANY dApps'

Several Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dapps), including Zapper, SushiSwap, Phantom, Balancer, and Revoke.cash, were compromised due to a security breach at Ledger, a Paris-based crypto hardware wallet manufacturer. Ledger has fixed the malicious code and warned users to "Clear Sign" transactions to ensure they are interacting directly with the company's website and software. The extent of the damage and the amount of money lost is not yet known, but reports suggest that the exploit is widespread. The breach highlights the need for proper auditing and testing in the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, where financial software is frequently deployed without appropriate measures.

  • Putin: Russia "supports" Harris, calls her smile "contagious"

    According to foreign media such as TASS and Russia's Sputnik News, Jinse Finance reported that on the afternoon of September 5th local time, Russian President Putin said at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum 2024 that Russia will "support" the US Democratic Party presidential candidate and vice president Harris as recommended by the US President Biden in the upcoming US presidential election. When asked how he viewed the 2024 US election, Putin said it was the choice of the American people. The new US president will be elected by the American people, and Russia will respect the choice of the American people. Putin also said that just as Biden suggested his supporters to support Harris, "we will do the same, we will support her." The report said that Putin also joked that Harris' laughter is "expressive and infectious," which shows that "she is doing everything well." He added that this may mean that she will avoid further sanctions against Russia.
  • Federal Reserve Beige Book: Respondents generally expect economic activity to remain stable or improve

    The Federal Reserve's Beige Book pointed out that economic activity in three regions has slightly increased, while the number of regions reporting flat or declining economic activity has increased from five in the previous quarter to nine in this quarter. Overall employment levels remain stable, although some reports indicate that companies are only filling necessary positions, reducing working hours and shifts, or reducing overall employment levels through natural attrition. However, reports of layoffs are still rare. Generally speaking, wage growth is moderate, and the growth rate of labor input costs and sales prices ranges from slight to moderate. Consumer spending has declined in most regions, while in the previous reporting period, consumer spending remained stable overall.

  • Outlier Ventures: BTC’s strong performance after the 2020 halving is purely coincidental, and the four-year cycle driven by Bitcoin halving is no longer valid

    Jasper De Maere, a researcher at Outlier Ventures, stated that the 2024 halving will be the 5th period of Bitcoin halving, and the price of BTC performed the worst within 125 days after the halving occurred. The price dropped by -8% compared to the halving day, while the average increase in the previous periods was +22%. We believe that the 2016 halving was the last time that the halving had a significant fundamental impact on the BTC price trend. Since then, the BTC block reward scale for miners has become insignificant in the increasingly mature and diverse cryptocurrency market. The strong performance of BTC and the cryptocurrency market after the 2020 halving was purely coincidental, as the halving occurred during a period of unprecedented capital injection after the COVID-19 pandemic, with the US M2 money supply alone increasing by 25.3% that year. Some people believe that the 4-year cycle driven by the halving will still hold in 2024, but the approval of the BTC ETF in January 2024 will drive demand and cause BTC to rise strongly before the halving. This view is incorrect. The approval of the BTC ETF is a demand-driven catalyst, while the halving is a supply-driven catalyst, so they are not mutually exclusive. Within 125 days after the halving, the 5th period (2024) is the worst performing period since the halving and the only period where the BTC price has dropped compared to the halving day.
