According to ChainCatcher, UXLINK CEO Rolland Saf released a comprehensive report on a recent security breach that led to significant asset theft, clarifying that the incident was not caused by internal factors. The attackers impersonated business partners and used deepfake video conferencing techniques over several months to compromise the personal devices of multiple SAFE key holders, stealing passwords, private keys, and ultimately gaining control of the old arb-UXLINK smart contract. The hackers illegally minted tokens, transferred, and sold assets, resulting in losses exceeding $11 million. The incident coincided with Korea Blockchain Week, with several core team members present at the event. The team promptly reported the breach to exchanges, security partners, and international law enforcement agencies, confirming the attack originated externally. Rolland Saf highlighted that the stolen assets included USDT, ETH, and BTC, with some recovered through exchange assistance for buyback purposes. The report refuted any 'exit scam' allegations, emphasizing UXLINK's genuine revenue, commercial clients, and global user base, maintaining transparency throughout the incident. The team has rebuilt the contract and restored 479 million affected circulating tokens on a 1:1 basis, unlocking 12% of tokens early for exchange user compensation following governance voting. Multiple international law enforcement agencies are now investigating, and related addresses are under continuous monitoring. UXLINK plans to enhance its security systems and advance AI growth, payment ecosystem FujiPay, and other business developments, asserting the project's long-term stability and ongoing rapid growth.

Cryptocurrency index funds are poised to become a hot trend in 2026. With the market becoming increasingly complex and applications expanding, it presents an excellent starting point for many investors.

According to BlockBeats, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed that he had previously criticized the Ethereum Foundation for its lack of experience in the P2P network layer, focusing more on cryptoeconomics, BFT consensus, and the blockchain layer while taking the network layer for granted. However, Buterin noted that the situation has changed, as demonstrated by the performance of PeerDAS. He praised foundation members, including @raulvk, for their significant contributions to the successful operation of PeerDAS and the development of a roadmap for faster dissemination, stronger resistance, and enhanced network privacy. Buterin expressed anticipation for future progress.

According to ChainCatcher, a woman from San Jose, California, named Margaret Loke, discovered she was a victim of a cryptocurrency scam after consulting ChatGPT. In May, Loke met a man on Facebook who identified himself as 'Ed,' claiming to be a wealthy businessman. Over time, he built an emotional connection with her and persuaded her to invest in cryptocurrency. Loke transferred over $490,000 from her retirement account and an additional $300,000 through a second mortgage on her home. When her supposed cryptocurrency account was suddenly 'frozen,' 'Ed' demanded an extra $1 million to unfreeze it. Seeking advice, Loke described her situation to ChatGPT, which identified the scenario as a known scam and recommended she contact the authorities. Investigations revealed that the funds were transferred to a bank account in Malaysia, where they were subsequently withdrawn by the scammers.

According to ChainCatcher, Grayscale has indicated that the Bitcoin pricing model driven by halving events, which shaped the cryptocurrency's early history, is losing its influence. As more Bitcoin enters circulation, the relative impact of each halving is diminishing. Grayscale notes that the current Bitcoin market is increasingly dominated by institutional capital, rather than the retail speculation that characterized previous cycles. Unlike the explosive surges seen in 2013 and 2017, Bitcoin's recent rally is more controlled. Grayscale believes the subsequent 30% correction resembles a typical bull market adjustment. Factors such as interest rate expectations, bipartisan efforts in the U.S. to advance crypto regulation, and the integration of Bitcoin into institutional investment portfolios are increasingly influencing market trends.

Since 2021, time has not been kind to ETH, and its status as a medium of exchange has been largely replaced by stablecoins.

According to Odaily, cryptocurrency analyst Ai Yi has reported that the address '0x968…0F305' has purchased 2,226 ETH on the blockchain over the past three hours. The total value of this transaction is $6.95 million, with an average purchase price of $3,121.52 per ETH.

Wang Yongli's explanation is an important reminder, but the Chinese story about stablecoins may require a broader narrative.

December 2025 is not the starting point for the "yen carrying transactions to ignite the world", but rather the starting point for the "turnaround of US monetary policy from tightening to excessive looseness". The real risks will be in 2026-2027.
