Ethereum’s most notorious sandwich bot targets Vitalik Buterin’s swap

Vitalik Buterin was targeted by a sandwich attack on April 30 after swapping a small amount of DigitalBits for Ether. Vitalik Buterin‘s small XDB swap was sandwiched by JaredfromSubway, Ethereum’s notorious MEV trading bot.The bot used about $1.14 million in WETH but likely lost money after gas.The incident renewed attention on encrypted mempools as Ethereum developers seek stronger protection against MEV.　　CoinDesk reported that the Ethereum co-founder exchanged about $3.86 in XDB for about $4.56 in ETH.　　The trade was front-run and back-run by the jaredfromsubway.eth bot in Ethereum block 24993038. The bot reportedly used about $1.14 million in wrapped Ether across SushiSwap and Uniswap V2 to move the XDB price around Buterins swap.　　JaredfromSubway returns to focus　　A sandwich attack happens when a bot sees a pending trade, places an order before it, lets the user trade at a worse price, then sells after it. This type of MEV directly extracts value from regular users by giving them poorer execution.　　In this case, the loss for Buterin was likely only a few cents. CoinDesk reported that the bot may have lost money after paying about $5.14 in gas fees. The case still showed how automated MEV systems scan even very small trades.　　JaredfromSubway is not

LayerZero Default Security Flaw Exposes $178M In Cross-Chain Assets

A security vulnerability in the default code used by LayerZero to validate cross-chain messages has exposed over $178 million in assets, according to security researchers. The flaw, which affects the protocols Omnichain Fungible Tokens (OFTs), could allow attackers to forge messages and steal funds.　　How the Vulnerability Works　　Researcher Fishy Catfish reported that the default code used by LayerZero for message validation could be replaced by the development team, LayerZero Labs, without any time delay. This lack of a timelock creates a structural weakness that could be exploited to forge cross-chain messages, potentially allowing unauthorized transfers of OFTs.　　Projects at Risk　　The issue sparked a heated debate in the ETHSecurity communitys Telegram channel. Banteg, a well-known researcher with over 220,000 followers, noted that major projects like Ethena and EtherFi were using this vulnerable default setting until recently. While some projects have updated their configurations, approximately $178 million in assets remain exposed.　　Operational Security Concerns　　Fishy Catfish also raised concerns about the project‘s overall security management, citing on-chain data that suggests operational multi-signature keys were used for routine activities like memecoin trading. This is particularly troubling given LayerZero’s history of being targeted by North Korean hacking groups, highlighting the need for stricter operational security practices.　　Implications for the

Hyperscalers’ Free Cash Flow Dips as AI Arms Race Hits Balance Sheets

The full-year free cash flow at Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft is set to fall to its lowest level since 2014.　　The decline reflects mounting pressure from heavy investments in artificial intelligence (AI).　　AI Spending Spree Pulls Big Tech Cash Flow Down　　According to recent estimates from Morgan Stanley, hyperscalers including Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle could spend nearly $805 billion this year, up from an earlier projection of $765 billion. Forecasts for next year have also been raised sharply to $1.1 trillion.　　“To put that into perspective, their 2026 spending alone would be roughly equal to what all non-tech companies in the S&P 500 spent combined in 2025. The expected ~$800bn for 2026 is nearly double the 2025 levels and about three times what was spent in 2024,” reporter Holger Zschaepitz posted.　　The aggressive push into AI is leaving these tech giants with significantly less cash. Wall Street forecasts show the combined free cash flow of Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Meta could drop to around $4 billion in the third quarter. This marks a dip from the quarterly average of $45 billion since the COVID-19 pandemic.　　“Their full-year free cash flow is set to hit the lowest level since 2014, when their revenues were

Here’s Why XRP Price Could Rally 30% as RLUSD Hits $1.55B Amid BlackRocks Stablecoin Push

XRP price has dropped by more than 2% today, May 8, but this is not an isolated case because the rest of the market was in the red. But all hope is not lost for XRP bulls because there is a symmetrical triangle pattern reading that the price might move up by 30%. The catalyst for this could be the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin that just achieved a market cap of $1.55 billion, just as BlackRock said it is not against using stablecoins for payments.　　RLUSD Market Cap Soars as BlackRock Backs Stablecoin Payments　　The market cap for RLUSD just went above $1.55 billion, and this is quite a feat because by March 31, it had a reading of $1.24 billion. It has added $310 million in just seven weeks even with XRP price not going up.　　RLUSD Market Cap　　And this might just be the beginning of gains for RLUSD because BlackRock is now saying people can use stablecoins to pay for things. It published a post on X where it said that as long as the regulations are right, stablecoins can do a good job improving payment systems.　　The reason why this is good for XRP price is because BlackRock is now in

Coinbax wins $20,000 PitchFest prize at Consensus Miami for stablecoin compliance

MIAMI – Coinbax won the $20,000 grand prize at Consensus Miamis PitchFest after pitching a system designed to help banks and financial firms manage compliance for stablecoin payments.　　The company, founded by former Jack Henry executive Peter Glyman, builds programmable escrow infrastructure that adds controls to wallet-to-wallet crypto transactions. The software is meant to reduce the risks financial institutions face when moving funds onchain.　　“Banks want to use stablecoins for payments, but they need to get their compliance people comfortable with the idea of moving money onchain,” Glyman said during his presentation.　　He described a future where “wallet addresses [are] associated with every bank account,” with transactions moving between banks, fintech firms and self-custody wallets. In that environment, he argued, compliance checks need to happen directly onchain rather than only through traditional banking intermediaries.　　Coinbax uses smart contracts to hold funds in escrow while third-party services verify identity, sanctions screening and transaction risk. Funds settle only after conditions are met.　　“We provide a trust layer,” Glyman said. “We provide programmable escrow that adds the control layer to these payments.”　　The startup launched in October, closed a seed round in December and is already live on Base mainnet, according to Glyman. He said the company is working

Dow Jones Futures Edge Higher As Middle East Tensions Show Signs Of Easing

Tech　　Dow Jones Futures Edge Higher As Middle East Tensions Show Signs Of Easing　　Dow Jones futures rose in early trading on Monday, as signals of de-escalation in the Middle East prompted a cautious return to risk assets. The move comes after a period of heightened geopolitical uncertainty that had weighed on global equity markets late last week.　　Market Reaction to Geopolitical Developments　　Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained roughly 0.3% in pre-market activity, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures also posted modest advances. The uptick followed reports suggesting diplomatic channels were showing progress in reducing hostilities between key regional players, though no formal ceasefire has been announced.　　Investors have been closely monitoring the situation since late last week, when a series of military exchanges sent crude oil prices spiking and triggered a flight to safe-haven assets such as gold and U.S. Treasuries. The prospect of a broader conflict had raised concerns about supply disruptions in energy markets and broader economic instability.　　Oil Prices and Safe-Haven Flows　　Brent crude, the international benchmark, retreated approximately 1.5% in early trading, reflecting the easing of immediate supply fears. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) followed a similar path. Gold, which had surged to multi-week highs during the
