Arbitrum-based Jimbos Protocol hacked, losing $7M in Ethereum

The attacker took advantage of the lack of slippage control of liquidity conversions to steal the funds. Adding to the existing number of protocol hacks in the crypto industry, Jimbos Protocol has not escaped the sights of the attackers as it has suffered an attack resulting in a loss of a large amount of funds. According to PeckShield, a blockchain security unit, Jimbos Protocol, the liquidity protocol of the Arbitrum system, was hacked on the morning of May 28. The attack resulted in the loss of 4,000 ETH, equivalent to approximately $7.5 million. Specifically, the attacker took advantage of the lack of slippage control of liquidity conversions. The protocol's liquidity is invested in a price range that doesn't need to be equal, creating a loophole where attackers can reverse swap orders for their own gain. Despite being launched less than 20 days ago, the Jimbos Protocol aimed to address liquidity and volatile token prices through a new testing approach. However, it appear...

Bitcoin (BTC) price currently shares a similarity with Gold on value metrics, which explains why economists consider it a safe haven asset even in countries like Germany which has just entered a recession.

White House hopeful De Santis sticks it to CBDCs in campaign launch

During a glitch-plagued Twitter Space yesterday evening, US presidential candidate and Bitcoin fan Ron De Santis came out against central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), calling their introduction “a massive transfer of power from individual consumers to a central authority.” De Santis used the Space, hosted by Elon Musk and David Sacks, to announce his presidential nomination for the Republican Party. De Santis will now battle former president Donald Trump for the Republican nomination. De Santis says that CBDCs are about state control De Santis has claimed that the government could use CBDCs to track users’ activity and judge them accordingly. To illustrate his point, he used the example of environmental and social governance standards (ESG). These standards are used by socially-conscious investors to screen potential investments and, according to De Santis, the government may use them as a pretext to track spending and investments . ESG standards are designed in part to h...

Should Bored Apes or other NFTs be regulated as securities?

Bored Apes look a lot like baseball cards. But regulators — particularly at the Securities and Exchange Commission — are making a strained case to the contrary. Should a Bored Ape be considered a security akin to stock in Apple or Microsoft? TL;DR? No! Winston Churchill, anticipating Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler, once called out “this world of sin and woe.” Let us now add to the litany of woe the possibility that Bored Apes, CryptoPunks and many other nonfungible tokens (NFTs) might be considered securities . There are even some pro-crypto people out there who would welcome treating NFTs as securities. They are, as we here argue, flat wrong as to most (but not all) NFTs for reasons both operational and legal. As two of our colleagues wrote in The National Interest almost a year ago, “Typical non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are no more securities than baseball cards. Some high-profile investors, such as Canadian entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary, are on record as seeing b...
