🚨 The LARGEST crypto hack in history has just happened. @binance is investigating a suspected security breach after more than $5.6 billion in crypto assets were identified across wallets associated with the attacker. The reported breakdown: • $1.45B in BTC • $875M in ETH • $234M in TRX • $50M in XAUT • $1.57B in USDT • $823M in USDC • $75M in WBETH • $88.5M in RLUSD • $447.5M in other cryptocurrencies That's approximately $5.61 billion in total. @tether, @circle, and other industry partners have frozen billions in assets linked to the incident. Binance has since reported $3 billion in verified frozen funds. Binance maintains that user funds remain safe and says it will cover hacking losses. For comparison, the previous record was the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025. @chainalysis has since estimated the Binance theft at approximately $5.9 billion, while TRM Labs puts the figure above $6 billion. The investigation is ongoing, and the final loss figures are still being established.

🚨UPDATE: Securitize is expanding its reach across blockchain networks. @Securitize plans to integrate with @StellarOrg, enabling the issuance and management of tokenized financial assets on Stellar. The planned integration gives asset managers another route to bring traditional financial products onchain, combining Securitize’s regulated tokenization infrastructure with Stellar’s network for financial transactions and asset transfers.

🚨UPDATE: Perpetual futures trading is coming directly into @Pumpfun The platform has integrated @HyperliquidX, giving users access to over 300 crypto, stock and commodity markets without leaving the app or bridging funds. The integration also connects trading with Pumpfun’s social features. Users can share their positions and earn callout rewards when followers follow their trades, bringing social engagement and onchain derivatives into one platform.

⚡️NEW: Traditional financial markets are bringing more securities onchain. @The_DTCC has launched its tokenization service, covering 34 securities worth around $30 trillion, with @CantonNetwork among the first blockchain networks supporting the rollout. With 20 DTC participants signed up, the service gives major financial institutions a way to use tokenized securities while DTC maintains the official ownership records. DTCC plans to expand blockchain support, with additional integrations expected in 2027.

UPDATE: 🇧🇷 Brazil’s traditional banking sector is moving further into regulated crypto services. @itau has filed with the country’s central bank to register its cryptocurrency trading and custody operations under the new rules, becoming the first bank to complete the notification process. Unlike dedicated crypto providers, Itaú can use a notification process because it is already authorized and supervised by Brazil’s central bank.

🚨LATEST: @Ripple's RLUSD is gaining access to a wider trading and payments network. @coinbase now supports $RLUSD across its retail and institutional platforms, with deposits and withdrawals available on the XRP Ledger, @ethereum and @base. The listing gives RLUSD another major distribution channel in the U.S. market. With institutional access through Coinbase Prime and plans to add collateral support on Coinbase Global Exchange, the stablecoin is expanding its role across crypto trading and institutional finance.

🚨 LATEST: 33 major U.S. companies have objected to having their stocks tokenized on the planned @okx x ICE trading platform. The latest include @jpmorgan, @CocaCola, @AMD, @Adobe, @Dell, @Applied4Tech and @SanDisk. Under the SEC framework, a formal objection prevents the platform from listing that company’s tokenized shares through the applicable exemption. It does not block tokenized versions of those stocks on other platforms.

🇹🇭 Thailand’s Supreme Court has recognized Bitcoin as property in a criminal case involving a 2022 robbery on Koh Samui. The victim was forced to transfer 2.480801 $BTC, worth around $50,000 at the time. The court found that Bitcoin’s market value and ability to be owned and exchanged for cash qualify it as property under Thai law. The ruling does not grant Bitcoin legal tender status.

🔥 BIG: @Google has introduced a new security service for banks handling crypto and tokenized assets. Google MPC distributes cryptographic signing authority across multiple systems and allows institutions to set transfer limits, restrict destination wallets and require additional approvals. The service is in private preview ahead of a planned early 2027 launch. Alphabet is already using it to secure digital assets on @ethereum and @solana.

⚡️ NEW: @Celo has added four local-currency stablecoins to its x402 payment facilitator, expanding support to 10 stablecoins across 8 currencies. The additions are @cngn_co's $cNGN and @ripiohq's $wMXN, $wCLP and $wPEN. They allow AI agents to pay for APIs, data and online services using stablecoins tied to currencies including the Nigerian naira, Mexican peso, Chilean peso and Peruvian sol. Celo says its x402 facilitator has processed more than 900,000 payments from over 4,000 payers.

🚨UPDATE: Crypto price predictions are getting shorter timeframes on @Polymarket US. The platform now offers five-minute up-or-down markets for $BTC, $ETH, $SOL and $XRP, with @chainlink price data determining the outcomes. With five-minute markets, traders can take views on short-term crypto price movements rather than longer-term direction. The format brings faster-paced prediction markets to four major digital assets.

🚨NEWS: Traditional banking infrastructure is moving deeper into digital assets. @Ripple and @BNYglobal are expanding their partnership to support $XRP and $RLUSD custody, with plans to explore tokenized trade finance on the XRP Ledger. BNY’s role extends beyond custody, with clients able to mint and redeem RLUSD directly. The two firms will also explore how the XRP Ledger could support more efficient trade finance, payments, settlement and collateral workflows for institutional clients.

⚡️LATEST: Tokenized stocks are gaining new routes into DeFi. @Ondo's 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs are now available on @RobinhoodApp , with 11 @Uniswap StablePair pools connecting Ondo Stocks and Robinhood Stock Tokens tied to the same underlying securities. The integration brings more options for trading and providing liquidity around tokenized equities, with potential arbitrage opportunities between paired assets. However, the pools do not extend Robinhood’s operating hours or guarantee that both tokens will always trade at the same price.
