Opinion by: Andrey Sergeenkov, researcher, analyst and writer Crypto founders love big promises: decentralized finance, banking the unbanked and freedom from intermediaries. Then hacks happen. In some cases, billions vanish overnight.  On Feb. 21, 2025, the North Korean Lazarus Group stole $1.46 billion from Bybit. They sent phishing emails to staff with cold wallet access. After compromising these accounts, they accessed Bybit’s interface and replaced the multisignature wallet contract with their malicious version. When Bybit attempted a routine transfer, the […]

However, the ecosystem took a reputational hit after Argentine President Javier […]

Opinion by: Igor Zemtsov, chief technology officer at TBCC Following “Libragate,” memecoin prices crashed, with their market cap falling nearly 60% from 2025’s highs. But meme tokens, dead? They’ve got more lives than a cat on caffeine. Despite the chaos, memecoins were still holding a $47.9-billion market cap as of March 10. It’s not exactly spare change.
