Ripple is just three weeks away from unlocking another 1 billion XRP from escrow, with the next release scheduled for November 1. Notably, Ripple unlocks up to 1 billion XRP monthly but typically returns a substantial portion to escrow, meaning not all unlocked tokens are sold on the market. Ripple established its escrow mechanism in December 2017, locking 55 billion XRP in time-restricted contracts and scheduling monthly releases of up to 1 billion XRP starting in 2018. Once unlocked, the tokens become available for business operations, liquidity arrangements, and potential institutional sales.  However, Ripple typically returns a substantial portion to new escrow contracts, meaning the full 1 billion XRP does not automatically enter circulation or get sold. The market impact depends on how much is re-escrowed, retained or sold. Ripple’s October unlock offers a recent example. The company released 1 billion XRP across four transactions and subsequently re-escr...

Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate has recorded a paper profit of more than $7.2 million on the Hyperliquid (HYPE) token, turning an initial investment of about $550,000 into one of his most successful crypto positions. On-chain data shared by Lookonchain on October 3 shows the influencer accumulated 122,827 HYPE tokens roughly two years ago at an average price of about $4.48 per token. With HYPE trading near $89, the position has generated an estimated return of 1,317%. The gains came into focus after a wallet linked to Tate transferred 20,950 HYPE tokens worth approximately $1.87 million to Binance.  Andrew Tate crypto transactions.

The transfer does not necessarily indicate an immediate sale. However, moving tokens to a major centralized exchange typically provides access t...

XRP could be on track for a move toward $2 if a key technical pattern continues to develop on its daily chart. According to an Analysis shared by market analyst Ali Martinez in an X post on September 18, the cryptocurrency is forming the right shoulder of an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, a setup widely viewed by traders as a bullish reversal signal. The formation comes after XRP rebounded sharply from lows near $1 and is now consolidating around $1.40 as the market watches a critical resistance zone. The analyst identified the neckline of the inverse head-and-shoulders pattern near $1.55. This level represents the key hurdle XRP must overcome to validate the bullish setup.

The current price structure suggests XRP is now building the right shoulder before attempting a breakout. ...

An attacker minted over 40 BTC worth of Nomic’s nBTC out of thin air on June 25. It took Osmosis, whose allBTC later turned out to be 36% unbacked, a whole 74 days to notice. Neither of the Cosmos-based projects seemingly discovered nor disclosed the loss during that period. The exploit only came to light following a halt of the Nomic protocol, which prompted an investigation into its holdings by Osmosis. Nomic itself appears not to be actively maintained; the project’s X account last posted in 2024 and its GitHub saw its last commit two years ago. Recently, we became aware of an exploit on the Nomic chain. The exploit allowed the attacker to double-spend nBTC, allowing them to send false vouchers to Osmosis. Osmosis and IBC were not compromised, as the bug was in a custom forwarding mechanism on Nomic. 39.84 nBTC of the… — Osmosis (@osmosis) September 9, 2026 Read more: Across, Allbridge, TeleSwap lost $5.7M to bridge hacks in past week ...
