Attackers use malicious npm libraries to steal users’ funds

Users of the popular cryptocurrency wallets Atomic and Exodus have become the target of a new cyberattack. Cybersecurity experts from ReversingLabs identified malicious software packages disguised as legitimate libraries in the npm repository. One such package — pdf-to-office — was found to carry malicious code.The essence of the attack lies in the fact that after installing the fake library, the malicious code quietly embeds itself into the system and searches for local files of installed wallets. It then alters their functionality, distorting the interface and misleading the user. As a result, the victim unknowingly sends their cryptocurrency to addresses controlled by hackers.These types of cyber activities have become part of a new wave of threats related to the compromise of software supply chains. Attackers increasingly target tools used by developers to inject malicious code during the creation or update stages of software. These methods are difficult to detect early, making them especially dangerous for the crypto community.The seriousness of the situation is also confirmed by fresh data from the company Hacken: in the first quarter of 2025, the crypto industry lost around $2 billion due to hacks and exploits. The largest incident occurred at the Bybit exchange in February, where the damage reached $1.4 billion.

The project has suspended its operations for investigation and promises to compensate users for their losses

The Four.Meme platform, specializing in launching meme coins on the BNB Chain, has once again been targeted by hackers.According to PeckShield, the attackers stole 200 BNB (equivalent to $130,000) and transferred the funds to FixedFloat, a non-custodial exchange.Blockchain security experts from SlowMist were the first to report a potential vulnerability. They discovered that the hacker exploited function 0x7f79f6df to gain an unfair advantage even before the token was officially launched on the platform.The attacker pre-purchased a small amount of tokens and then sent them to an uncreated PancakeSwap Pair address. This allowed them to create a liquidity pool independently, bypassing transfer restrictions (MODE_TRANSFER_RESTRICTED) that were supposed to prevent unauthorized transactions.By setting liquidity at an arbitrary price, the hacker managed to drain the pool, causing significant financial losses for both the project and its users.Four.Meme has confirmed the breach and suspended token launches for investigation. The platform has invited users to submit compensation claims, with payouts expected within a week.

The fund is in the final stages of creation before it is fully open to investors

The Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) has approved the world’s first exchange-traded fund (ETF) that directly holds XRP, the native cryptocurrency of Ripple, from Hashdex. This approval is recorded in the CVM database and was first reported on the Portal do Bitcoin platform.The recently approved ETF, called the “Hashdex NASDAQ XRP Index Fund,” is expected to be launched on Brazil’s main stock exchange — B3. The official launch date and trading details have not yet been announced, but Hashdex has confirmed the approval and promised to provide further trading information soon.“XRP is a natural choice for an ETF due to its practical utility, growing institutional demand, and significant market capitalization,” said Silvio Pegado, managing director of Ripple in Latin America.“The approval of the first XRP ETF by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission demonstrates the country’s progressive approach to developing cryptocurrency markets and financial innovations,” added Pegado.“Through regulation and public consultations, Brazil continues to strengthen its reputation as a country open to innovation, and we hope it will play a central role in the development of the cryptocurrency sector in the future.”JP Morgan predicts that spot ETFs for Solana and XRP could attract up to $14 billion in investments within the first 12 months after their approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

The fund will track the price of DOGE, and its custodian will be Coinbase Custody

Bitwise has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the listing of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will track the price of the popular cryptocurrency Dogecoin.According to the company’s announcement on January 28, the proposed Bitwise Dogecoin ETF will hold Dogecoin and closely monitor the price dynamics of this memecoin. The application was submitted using the S-1 form to the SEC.Recently, the number of cryptocurrency ETFs in the U.S. has been increasing. Among the issuers launching funds to track or speculate on tokens, including DOGE and the memecoin Official Trump (TRUMP), associated with Donald Trump, are Osprey Funds, REX Shares, and Tuttle Capital. Some of these funds also use leverage.To initiate the review process and potential approval of the memecoin fund, Bitwise must submit an additional application using form 19b-4. Dogecoin was launched in 2015, and its market capitalization currently stands at $47 billion, making it the eighth-largest cryptocurrency in the world.Coinbase Custody has been selected by Bitwise as the proposed custodian of the spot-based Dogecoin ETF. This service is widely used by issuers dealing with cryptocurrency ETFs.The Bitwise application does not specify the proposed fee, the fund’s ticker, or the exchange on which it will be listed if approved.We remind you that a variety of exchange pairs with DOGE and TRUMP are available. You can quickly and securely purchase these assets on Appbit and stay on-trend with other traders.

The first cryptocurrency surpassed $100,000, faced a correction, and what it means for the market. Facts and figures from recent days

<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">On the night of December 4-5, Bitcoin broke the psychological barrier of $100,000, reaching a peak of $104,088 on Binance. <span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">At the time of writing, the flagship cryptocurrency’s price stood at $98,200. This milestone was driven by a significant increase in trading volumes. The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies rose to $3.83 trillion, with Bitcoin’s dominance index at 53%. &nbsp;<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Bitcoin’s all-time high sparked discussions in the crypto community. Journalist Colin Wu pointed out that since the purchase of two pizzas for 10,000 BTC in 2010, the asset’s price has risen by 3.3 billion times. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao recalled Peter Schiff’s 2019 prediction, which doubted Bitcoin would reach this milestone. Zhao wrote: “Don’t dream. Keep building!”<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A day before hitting its ATH, Bitcoin gained 7.1%, while Ethereum rose by 4.6%. Over the month, these assets grew by 51.6% and 59.2%, respectively. However, not all top cryptocurrencies showed comparable results: XRP, Solana, BNB, and Cardano declined in price. &nbsp;<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Correction and Market Behavior<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">From December 5 to 6, Bitcoin underwent a correction, falling from $104,000 to $90,500 and then recovering to $98,000. At the time of writing, the 24-hour decline stood at 3.8%. Expert Rachel Lucas from BTC Markets attributed this to “leverage unwinding,” triggered by massive stop-losses and position closures. She noted that such events restore market balance, creating potential for further recovery.<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Liquidations amounted to $564 million, the highest since June 2024. Meanwhile, venture capital founders at the Emergence conference noted that current conditions do not indicate the end of the bull run. They emphasized lower retail investor participation compared to previous growth cycles. &nbsp;<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Community Reaction<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#0e0e0e;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Bitcoin’s drop had little impact on altcoin sentiment: digital assets from the top-10 showed modest growth over the day. &nbsp;
