Crypto analyst and trader Ali Martinez has shared data showing that the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum, could be in for a bullish breakout — if history is any guide.

MrBeast’s company, in which BitMine invested $200 million, earlier this month agreed to buy neobank Step as a long-term play on how younger generations will access financial services. “Beast has a chance…

Social Engineering Attack Caused Domain Hijack BONKfun went offline on March 11 after an attacker used social engineering to gain control of the platform’s domain.

Perhaps this is why RHEA Finance chose to plug-in to its environment. The cross-chain DEX and lending venue built around $NEAR’s intents system has…
