Altcoins are gaining some significant attention right now as major cryptocurrency investors, known as “ whales ,” increase their holdings ahead of the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. The strategic accumulation of specific digital assets by these influential investors signals potential opportunities in the market, and many smaller investors are also paying attention to these movements. With Bitcoin holding steady around $83,000 at the moment, and showing resilience in recent trading sessions, analysts anticipate a shift in liquidity toward alternative cryptocurrencies following the Fed’s decision. Such whale activity often precedes notable price action, especially when major economic policy announcements are on the horizon.

Over the last six months, Web3 technology has advanced quickly and explosively. But the Web3 ecosystem is more fragmented than ever. With over $2 trillion in assets spread across multiple blockchains, technological ambitions are surpassing infrastructure.

XRP’s focus on fast, low-cost transactions has made it the third largest cryptocurrency in the world (excluding stablecoins) — and one of the main beneficiaries of the late 2024 rally. However, at least thus far in 2025, macroeconomic challenges have proved dominant. The cryptocurrency market, in particular, has been shaken up by the risk asset selloff that’s going on due to the possible disruptions of the Trump administration’s tariff policies. Yet despite recent challenges, XRP has performed better than most digital assets. At press time, XRP was changing hands at a price of $2.33, having marked a 12.21% gain on a year-to-date (YTD) basis after a 5.13% move to the upside in the past week.

The cryptocurrency enables the tracking and trading of real-world assets, including U.S. Treasuries, on blockchain technology. XRP’s upcoming automatic market maker functionality promises optimal settlement prices for various financial transactions.

Can Machine Learning Improve DeFi Security? The decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem has experienced exponential growth in recent years, offering users financial services without intermediaries. However, this innovation comes with risks—smart contract vulnerabilities have led to billions of dollars in losses due to hacks and exploits. As the industry searches for solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have emerged as potential tools to enhance DeFi security. But can AI truly make smart contracts more secure? The Challenges of Smart Contract Security Smart contracts are self-executing agreements written in code and deployed on blockchains. While they remove the need for intermediaries, they are also vulnerable to coding errors, logic flaws, and unforeseen attack vectors. Some common security risks include: Reentrancy Attacks – Malicious contracts repeatedly call a function before its previous execution is completed, allowing an attacker to drain funds. Fla...

This discussion started with the $1.5 billion theft incident of Bybit, mainly exploring the security vulnerabilities of multi-signature wallets (like Safe) and their solutions. DiscussFish pointed out that there are weak points in the infrastructure such as the front end, hardware and browsers that multi-signature wallets rely on. Especially, front-end tampering and blind signing issues cause a mismatch between transaction intentions and actual operations, making them easy to be exploited by hackers. To solve this, he proposed temporary solutions like domain whitelists and transaction parsing plugins, and advocated for an end-to-end closed-loop risk control system, combining AI and third-party verification to boost security. Moreover, DiscussFish first shared his experience of being phished for 12,000 ETH last year, highlighting the risks of blind signing of hardware wallets. He called on the industry to adopt a hierarchical and decentralized structure, a zero-trust architecture, and s...
