Binance Users Lose Millions After Accounts Hacked
Wu Blockchainan X account dedicated to covering crypto news primarily in Asia, recently reported several cases of account hacks, the victims of which were Binance users. As a result of these hacks, users lost millions of dollars. The first case tells the story of a Chinese user, Nakamao, who downloaded a Google plugin promoted by KOL titled Aggr; After doing so, his account fell short by $1 million. The attack occurred on May 24 and was facilitated through cross-trading, a technique in which hackers exploit hijacked cookies to bypass password verification and two-factor authentication. Another Binance user had his funds stolen on March 1, with hackers using the same cookie hijacking method. Following the incident, Nakamao conducted an investigation with a security company and discovered several alarming details that raised concerns about Binance’s security measures. For example, Binance reportedly knew about the existence of the hacker and the compromised plugin for weeks, but chose not to act immediately, which resulted in further financial losses. The news gained significant attention from the crypto community, with many questioning Binance’s ability to protect its assets.
Billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya defends Bitcoin to $500,000
It has been several weeks since Bitcoin’s fourth halving event occurred, but industry leaders have not stopped speculating about the asset’s potential future price trajectory. Among those who decide to share his opinion on what the future holds for Bitcoin is billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya. On a video shared by Altcoin Daily, Palihapitiya drew attention to the fact that BTC usually sees huge growth around 12 to 18 months after the halving. The first halving cycle saw its first most significant increase after six months, with growth of over 10.67x. The second and third halving cycles also recorded growth, but more moderately, with peaks of 1.34x and 1.79x, respectively. The growth trend from the first halving persisted, but around 18 months after the halving event, the second and third halvings experienced the biggest spikes of 27.92x and 7.80x, respectively. Considering all of this, according to Palihapitiya’s analysis (which, in his words, does not constitute financial advice), if the price of Bitcoin follows the pattern exhibited by cycles two and three, it could reach $500,000 by October 2025 .
SHIB Burn Rate Soars 348% as Price Struggles to Breakout
As the SHIB army continues to incinerate meme tokens, SHIB price continues to make attempts to break out. According to data provided by the Shibburn platform, a total of 21,508,945 SHIB was sent to dead-end wallets in the last day, which helped increase Shiba Inu’s burn rate by over 348%. The largest amount of SHIB tokens were destroyed by an anonymous crypto whale; in a single transaction, he burned a massive 21,315,658 SHIB. The second largest transaction carried just 100,000 meme coins. When it comes to the Shiba Inu price, it managed to rise by 3.79% yesterday, moving from $0.00002430 to the $0.00002511 price mark. However, at the time of writing, SHIB has lost most of its gains and is currently trading at $0.00002423, down 2.40% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap .

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has digitized 42 million car titles using blockchain, it was reported by Reuters, through technology company Oxhead Alpha on the Avalanche blockchain and designed to detect fraud and facilitate the securities transfer process.
“This is an incredible development for crypto,” Cuban, best known as an investor on TV’s Shark Tank and owner of the Dallas Mavericks NBA team, posted on X, joking that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler could sue the state as part of his hostility toward cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
“The reason this is huge for crypto is because people who hold the tokens will have an app with an Avalanche wallet,” Cuban said. “Tens of millions of Californians having and using a crypto wallet in the next five years, or however long it takes, normalizes the use of wallets and crypto.”
John Wu, president of Avalanche developer Ava Labs, told Reuters that California’s DMV is “creating a wallet that you can download on your phone.”
