Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, set a $150 price target for Hyperliquid (HYPE) and said the token should surpass Solana (SOL) before the current bull run ends.

The post XRP Ledger’s design blocks the flash loan attacks costing DeFi hundreds of millions appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The two biggest DeFi exploits of the past two months have one thing in common. They used a tool that does not exist on the XRP Ledger. Thorchain lost roughly $10.8 million on May 15 to a cross-chain attack that drained funds across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, and Base.

Cross-chain bridges have lost over $2.8 billion to attacks since 2021, per Chainalysis. And a significant share of these exploits used some variant of the same mechanic: flash loans. A flash loan is a smart contract feature that lets a trader borrow millions of dollars with no collateral, on the condition that the loan is repaid inside the same transaction. The legitimate use cases include arbitrage betwe
