Author: Web3Mario Translation: WuBlockchain Abstract: I came across an interesting piece of information about Compound being subjected to a governance attack. Having been involved in DeFi for quite some time, this piqued my interest, and I decided to delve deeper into the details behind this event. I will break down the implementation details and share them with you.

Ripple is responsible for developing the XRP Ledger (XRP) and is the token’s largest holder, whose actions impact its price. On August 1, the company will unlock another 1 billion XRP from the initial distribution, potentially creating relevant selling pressure. Notably, Ripple has done these unlocks every month since implementing the escrow system in 2017, locking 55 billion XRP. Right now, around 44.02 billion XRP are still locked into these escrows, waiting to enter circulation through Ripple sell-offs. The next escrows will end on July 31, releasing the tokens with a $600 million nominal value by press time. However, Ripple may re-lock the most part of it, as happened in previous months.

Activist short-seller Andrew Left of Citron Research, who regularly accused firms of securities fraud, has been charged with engaging in securities fraud. This indictment comes a little over two years after Left stated, “crypto is just complete fraud.” Alongside this indictment, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also filed a complaint that echoes similar allegations and charges him with violating federal securities laws.  The US J US tice Department (DoJ) alleges he made at least $16 million and the SEC alleges he made approximately $20 million in ‘illegal trading profits.’ The alleged scheme involved Left issuing reports or tweets that encouraged his followers to either purchase or sell certain securities. He would also include a ‘price target’ that he expected the security to reach. When the prices started moving in response to the communications from Left, he would allegedly start unwinding his positions. This type of scheme is sometimes colloquially referre
