ZachXBT: A hacker withdrew 3200 ETH from Tornado and laundered approximately $5.5 million through Circle's CCTP cross-chain service.
PANews reported on July 5th that on-chain detective ZachXBT disclosed on his personal channel that a hacker withdrew approximately 3200 ETH via Tornado Cash between July 2nd and 3rd. The funds are related to two private key leaks. The address subsequently used Circle's CCTP cross-chain bridge to launder approximately $5.5 million in assets across chains, further transferring USDC to seven deposit addresses on the Arbitrum network. ZachXBT pointed out that this fund flow exhibits a typical decentralized money laundering path, utilizing mixing tools and cross-chain infrastructure to reduce the difficulty of tracing. The related on-chain assets are still continuously circulating.
IMF: The future of tokenization depends on policy choices; stablecoins and two other types of settlement assets may coexist.
According to Odaily Odaily, Tobias Adrian, Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stated that as assets migrate to shared digital ledgers, policy choices regarding the monetary system, market infrastructure, and legal framework will determine whether tokenization will enhance the integration of the financial system or lead to further fragmentation. The tokenized economy is giving rise to three types of settlement assets: tokenized bank deposits, stablecoins, and tokenized central bank reserves. Tokenization is not merely about faster payments or programmable assets; it's about migrating financial assets and liabilities to a unified ledger, compressing execution, clearing, and settlement into software-driven, synchronous processes. This shift may also transfer risk from the balance sheets of traditional intermediaries to platform, code, and infrastructure providers. (The Block)
MemeCore has yet to respond to the community's discontent over the token's plunge. ZachXBT had previously questioned whether the high valuation was driven by insider funds.
PANews reported on June 27th that, according to CoinDesk, MemeCore's ecosystem token M experienced a sharp decline, wiping out nearly $3 billion in market capitalization in a single day. The project has not yet publicly responded to the token's plunge, sparking discontent within the community. "Chain detective" ZachXBT had previously questioned the token's valuation, suggesting it might be driven by internal funds. He noted that M's spot trading is primarily concentrated on a few exchanges, and its market activity stems partly from trading volume on the token's launch platform and social media promotions driven by incentive mechanisms. Market analysts believe that such overvalued tokens, with supply concentrated among internal holders, limited trading channels, and insufficient actual buying pressure, may face rapid declines due to insufficient liquidity when selling pressure arises.
