According to PANews on October 4th, Shibarium developers stated that they are preparing to restart the platform's Ethereum cross-chain bridge and are developing a compensation plan to compensate users who lost money due to a vulnerability that triggered an emergency shutdown earlier this month. The team's latest post-mortem analysis stated that all validator keys have been rotated, over 100 ecosystem contracts have been migrated to secure wallets, and 4.6 million BONE tokens have been recovered from the attacker's contracts in the days following the attack. According to a community update on September 17th, attackers stole approximately $4.1 million in ETH, SHIB, and 15 other tokens from the bridge. Shortly after the attack was discovered, Shibarium developer Kaal Dhairya stated on X that they had contacted the relevant authorities, but the team was willing to negotiate with the attacker in "good faith" and offered a 50 ETH reward, worth approximately $225,000 at the time, if the attacker returned the stolen funds.According to PANews on October 4th, Shibarium developers stated that they are preparing to restart the platform's Ethereum cross-chain bridge and are developing a compensation plan to compensate users who lost money due to a vulnerability that triggered an emergency shutdown earlier this month.

Bitcoin-to-Gold Ratio Plunges 50% in 2025 as Precious Metal Outshines Digital Asset

Bitcoin-to-Gold Ratio Plunges 50% in 2025 as Precious Metal Outshines Digital Asset

The Bitcoin-to-gold ratio has collapsed by 50% in 2025, marking a dramatic reversal in the relative performance of the two assets often positioned as alternatives to traditional fiat currencies. Gold has surged to record highs on the back of unprecedented central bank accumulation and robust ETF inflows, while Bitcoin has struggled amid persistent ETF outflows and significant selling pressure from long-term holders. This divergence challenges the narrative that has gained traction over the past decade positioning Bitcoin as "digital gold"—a superior store of value offering gold's monetary properties with added portability, divisibility, and verifiability. In 2025, investors have voted decisively for the original over its digital challenger, at least in relative terms.

Holiday Season Sees Surge in Crypto Scams as Fraudsters Target Distracted Users

Holiday Season Sees Surge in Crypto Scams as Fraudsters Target Distracted Users

The holiday season has brought an unwelcome gift to the cryptocurrency community: a marked escalation in fraudulent activity across multiple attack vectors. Scammers are ramping up phishing campaigns, fake token presales, romance schemes, impersonation tactics, and malicious applications, all designed to separate distracted users from their digital assets during a period of reduced vigilance. The timing is deliberate. Holiday distractions, year-end financial activity, and the general atmosphere of goodwill create ideal conditions for social engineering attacks. Users juggling shopping, travel, and family obligations may exercise less caution when reviewing messages or evaluating opportunities. Scammers understand this seasonal psychology and calibrate their campaigns accordingly.
