The post TAC labels $2.8M bridge exploit a white hat incident as hacker claims 10% bounty appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TAC, a cross-chain protocol that has marketed itself as a bridge between TON and Ethereum, has now reclassified its $2.8 million exploit from May 12 as a white hat event, after the hacker apparently took the team up on its offer to keep 10% of the “moved” funds in exchange for returning the rest to its multisig wallets.  According to TAC’s disclosures of the event, the exploit targeted the TON side of its cross-chain layer, draining funds across USDT, BLUM, and tsTON. TAC said the vulnerability was isolated to native TON Jettons bridged from the TON network, and that the TAC token itself, TON, and all ERC-20 tokens were unaffected. The TAC token has taken a beating since the exploit, with price dropping more than 21% over the last week. Market cap is down to $79 million from over $91 million before the May 12 disclosure of the hack. TAC Protocol’s token price i

The post 3 Altcoins in 2026 Market That Don’t Care About Bitcoin (BTC) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In 2026, Bitcoin continues to dominate the larger crypto market cycle, but its hegemony over altcoin performance is eroding. The majority of significant assets, such as Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano, continue to move mostly in lockstep with Bitcoin, confirming its position as the market’s main source of liquidity and sentiment. A smaller subset of altcoins, however, is starting to act differently. Recent market performance data indicates that a number of assets have outperformed Bitcoin over the past six months, exhibiting stronger independent narratives and less correlation. Hyperliquid, Tron, and Midnight are some of the most prominent names. HYPE’s positioning The swift growth of decentralized perpetual futures trading has made Hyperliquid one of the market’s strongest momentum assets.

The post Gasless Stablecoin Wallets Compared: Where to Send and Swap USDT and USDC Without Gas Fees appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stablecoin holders run into the same problem every month: USDT and USDC require a separate native token to cover gas fees on most wallets. Send USDT on Tron and the transfer fails without TRX. Move USDC on Ethereum and the wallet asks for ETH first. A small group of wallets now skips that requirement entirely. Instead of asking users to hold a separate gas token, these wallets take the network fee directly out of the stablecoin being sent. Send 100 USDC and a small portion covers the fee, with no ETH balance needed. Five gasless stablecoin wallet options stand out in 2026 across coverage, fees, and trade-offs. Quick Comparison of Gasless Stablecoin Wallets The table below summarizes how each wallet handles gasless USDT and gasless USDC transfers across its supported networks. Wallet Stablecoins Supported Networks Fee Per Tran
