Curve situation
The consequences of the large-scale DEX Curve hack that occurred on July 30 are being quickly eliminated: an unknown hacker who attacked the platform began returning stolen assets, the exchange reported receiving 70% of the funds withdrawn by the attacker from liquidity pools, Binance invested $ 5 million in CRV tokens.
A new player in the stablecoin market
Payments giant PayPal has announced the launch of the PayPal USD (PYUSD) “stablecoin”. The crypto community reacted to the news ambiguously: some hope for an increase in the user base of projects and expect an influx of investments, others point to high centralization and criticize the controversial design of smart contracts.
worldcoin
WorldCoin is a protocol that offers new mechanisms for personal identification and financial transactions based on biometric material. The technology is being developed by Tools for Humanity, one of its creators is Sam Altman, head of OpenAI. In a number of countries, the project has difficulties: the Kenyan authorities have suspended its activities and are conducting searches in the company’s warehouses, Germany and Argentina have initiated their own investigations.
Bitcoin Predictions
Crypto industry pioneer and Blockstream CEO Adam Back bet one million satoshis (0.01 BTC) that the price of bitcoin will reach $100,000 before the halving.
