UwU Lend Suffers Two Hacks in Three Days, Total Losses Reach $24 Million

On June 10, the decentralized lending protocol UwU Lend suffered a hack, resulting in a loss of nearly $19.3 million. On-chain data shows that the hackers wallet successfully stole a range of tokens, including Wrapped Ether (WETH), Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), and stablecoins, most of which were then traded on Uniswap.  UwU Lend is a project forked from the open-source code of the Ethereum-based lending protocol AAVE v2. It allows users to lend and borrow digital assets, participate in investment strategies, and manage assets in a non-custodial manner. According to the documentation on its website, the platform prioritizes security, using forked and audited code from AAVE v2 to minimize smart contract risks. However, this recent breach has exposed vulnerabilities in the protocols security measures.  Web3 security firm PeckShield stated that the root cause of the attack was an issue with the price oracle, specifically that the pricing of the sUSDe asset came from a median of multiple sources. Five of these sources—FRAXUSDe, USDeUSDC, USDeDAI, USDecrvUSD, and GHOUSDe—were manipulated during the attack.  In the first breach, the attacker used flash loans to manipulate the price of Ethena USDe (USDe) by exchanging it for other tokens, causing the price of USDe and Ethena Staked USDe (SUSDe)

Will BTC Price Reach $100,000? Insights from Industry Leaders

On-chain data indicates that the amount of BTC held by long-term holders has reached a short-term low and is beginning to accumulate again. Historical data suggests that during periods of BTC price decline or slow growth, the supply held by long-term holders tends to accumulate. When BTC prices rise rapidly, long-term holders start distributing their holdings to make profits. When a new round of accumulation begins, BTC prices will rise again until the supply held by long-term holders reaches a short-term bottom, indicating that BTC has also reached a short-term peak at the current price.  The supply of long-term and short-term holders is defined based on the average purchase date of entities, with weights given by a logarithmic function centered on the age of 155 days and a transition width of 10 days.Future BTC Trends: Industry Experts Insights  Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of FX and Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank:  Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of FX and Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated on Thursday, “As the U.S. election approaches, I expect Bitcoin to reach $100,000.
