The post Cross-Chain Protocol Gravity Bridge Suffers $5.4 Million Attack — Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Gravity Bridge, a Cosmos-native cross-chain protocol, was the target of a compromised-key attack, which led to the theft of roughly $5.4 million over the weekend. This latest security breach joins the growing list of exploits suffered in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space so far in 2026. Gravity Bridge Hack Traced To Signing Key Compromise: Investigator On Saturday, May 31st, blockchain sleuth Specter highlighted that Gravity Bridge might have been exploited through what he described as a signing key compromise. For context, a signing key compromise refers to the unauthorized disclosure or theft of a cryptographic key, allowing an attacker to then use it to decrypt sensitive information, forge digital signatures, or gain unauthorized access to systems and, as in this case, funds. The analyst disclosed that the loot included crypto assets worth about $5..4 million,

The post XLM, XRP & USDT Lead Weekend Crypto Buzz appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stellar, XRP and USDT Dominate Weekend Crypto Buzz as Big Catalysts Stir Market Sentiment  According to Santiment Intelligence, this weekend’s crypto market discussions are being shaped less by price action and more by powerful narrative shifts across three major assets, Stellar (XLM), Ripple’s XRP, and Tether (USDT).  Each is trending for very different reasons, but together they highlight how quickly sentiment can swing when institutional headlines, regulatory pressure, and speculative retail attention collide. Stellar (XLM) has emerged as one of the strongest talking points based on the fact that the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is exploring integration of its tokenized securities infrastructure with the Stellar network. As a result, this development is triggering a surge in social activity and renewed buying interest.  More notably, this partnership has fueled a “buy-the-news” r

The post Why Traders Are Loading up on XRP at $1.34, Bitcoin Triggers Major Red Flag for Lower Low, Is It Time to Sell Solana for Hyperliquid (HYPE)? – Morning Crypto Report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. TL;DR XRP Holds Key Support: Sustained by 4 weeks of uninterrupted ETF inflows, XRP establishes a strong local demand zone at $1.34, with immediate technical upside targets set at $1.37 and $1.40. Bitcoin Triggers Bearish Signal: BTC broke below critical right-shoulder support at $71,500–$73,900, signaling a structural shift toward lower lows fueled by a 10-day, $2.9 billion institutional ETF exit. HYPE Targets Solana: Backed by deflationary fee-buybacks and a $3B ecosystem fund, Hyperliquid (HYPE) hit an all-time high of $70, with Arthur Hayes projecting a rally to $150 to absorb Solana’s market share. Crypto Market Outlook: The broader crypto market faces a decisive short-squeeze or breakdown ahead of upcoming U.S. macroeconomic triggers, specifically the Fed’s Beige Book and

The post How Regulated Perps Could Reprice XRP appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Regulated crypto derivatives just took a decisive step forward, and that shift could matter most for large-cap altcoins like XRP. The post-ETF era taught markets how quickly structure changes can pull liquidity onshore and compress spreads. Perpetual swaps may be next. Three developments landed on the same week: a first-of-its-kind U.S.-listed bitcoin perpetual contract approval, a CFTC pathway for U.S. routing to foreign perpetuals, and 24/7 trading for CME’s crypto suite, including XRP futures. Together, they redraw how institutions hedge and price altcoin risk. This piece breaks down what “regulated perps” now mean, why XRP is positioned to benefit, and the practical implications for liquidity, basis, and risk management. Point Details U.S.-listed perp milestone The CFTC approved KalshiEX’s BTCPERP, the first spot-referenced bitcoin perpetual on a U.S.-registered exchange (CFTC pr

The post Aave Claws Back From $292M rsETH Exploit With $300M Coalition appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave’s post mortem details how a forged cross-chain message triggered a $292M rsETH exploit and how a $300M DeFi coalition restored full backing. The attacker was already gone by the time anyone realized the bridge had lied. On April 18, at 17:35 UTC, Kelp’s rsETH LayerZero V2 bridge accepted inbound nonce 308 on Ethereum while Unichain still sat at outbound nonce 307. No burn happened. 116,500 rsETH came out of the Ethereum-side adapter as if it had. The LayerZero verifier responsible for signing inbound messages on Ethereum was running on a one-of-one DVN setup. One signer. It was hit by an RPC-poisoning attack that warped its view of source-chain state. The verifier attested to a transaction that never occurred, per Aave’s post mortem published on X. The Borrow Play Nobody Saw Coming Within minutes, seven recipient addresses had the stolen tokens. 89,567 rsETH of it went into
