The post BONK Treasury Vote: DAO Governance Risk Returns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
So here we are again. Not a smart contract exploit in the classic sense, but a rules-as-written treasury drain that sailed through governance because nobody showed up. If you hold meme tokens with DAOs attached to them, this is the wake-up call. The BONK saga isn’t just a one-off. It shows how cheap it can be to buy enough votes, meet quorum, and walk out with a treasury haul if a community is disengaged. The fix isn’t magical. It’s mostly better parameters, better process, and people actually voting.

The post Tether’s USDT supply contracts on Ethereum and TRON appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Tether’s USDT supply is contracting, after a $2.5B burn on the Ethereum network. The stablecoin just saw its biggest burn since February, potentially signaling liquidity outflows. Tether’s treasury burned $2.5B worth of USDT tokens on July 7, the largest supply contraction since February. The Tether treasury destroyed $3.5B of tokens on February 10, as a response to general trading contraction and removing USDT from legacy networks. As a result, Tether retains a $189.6B supply of USDT, mostly using Ethereum and TRON for transfers. USDT is closely watched for the effect of Euro Area regulations, and as a general signal for the health of the crypto ecosystem. The supply burn also traces a larger trend in stablecoin liquidity. Active addresses declined by 36.2% in the past 30 days, according to Artemis data. Average daily stablecoin volume is down by 47.5%. USDT and its closest rival, Cir

The post Polymarket’s Frontend Attack Shows Why Real-Time Platforms Need Better User-Side Security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Polymarket’s latest security incident did not begin with a broken smart contract. The prediction market platform said a compromised third-party vendor injected malicious code into its frontend for some users, exposing them to a phishing attack and forcing the company to promise full reimbursement. For crypto users, that detail matters. A platform can be sound on-chain and still become dangerous at the screen where a wallet signs, clicks, or confirms. The attack was not only about code According to TechRadar, Polymarket said the affected vendor had been contained and the compromised dependency removed after the attack was discovered. Blockchain monitoring firm PeckShield estimated that roughly $3 million in crypto was stolen from around 11 users, while Polymarket said it was contacting impacted users and refunding them in full. That sequence is familiar

The post BONK Treasury Loses $20M to Malicious Governance Vote appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
BONK News South Korea’s three largest digital-asset exchanges — Upbit, Bithumb and Coinone — placed BONK, the Solana-based meme coin, under a formal trading-caution designation on July 7. The exchanges’ official announcements state the flag took effect at 4:00 p.m. local time and runs through the first week of August, citing an unresolved security incident and the inadequate disclosure of material information. The coordinated action followed the draining of roughly 20 million dollars in BONK from the project’s decentralized treasury. Under the designation, each platform will conduct an additional review that could end in reinstatement or a full delisting, leaving holders facing weeks of uncertainty around the token’s exchange standing. On-chain data shows the exploit was executed entirely through legitimate transactions. An anonymous actor spent roughly 4.4 million dollars accumulating B
