LAB faces ‘pump-and-dump’ fears amid 100 mln token distribution

LAB allegedly used private OTC discounts, influencer deals, and coordinated exchange activity to support price growth, ZachXBT claimed in investigations.

ZachXBT warns THORChain may have lost over $10M across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, and Base as the protocol halts trading. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has warned that THORChain may have suffered a multi-chain exploit, with losses above $10 million. The alert named Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, and Base as affected chains. Soon after, THORChain paused trading and carried […] The post ZachXBT Issues THORChain Alert As Multi Chain Losses May Exceed Ten Million appeared first on Live Bitcoin News.

The post ZachXBT Says 95% of LAB Token Is Insider-Controlled as Investigation Exposes Multi-Front Retail Rug – Bitcoin News appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways ZachXBT alleges LAB insiders control over 95% of supply and coordinated a 350% pump to a $6B FDV using Bitget infrastructure. The investigation exposes four simultaneous retail extraction methods: OTC loans at 7.5%/month, vesting changes, unpaid marketing rewards, and an opaque market-making deal. ZachXBT posted a $10,000 bounty on LAB founder Vova Sadkov and called on Binance, Bitget, and Gate to freeze insider profits or delist immediately. A $6 Billion Project Built on Hidden Supply LAB launched its token generation event in October 2025, positioning itself as an AI-powered trading terminal. In early May 2026, the token surged over 350% in under 72 hours, briefly touching a $6 billion fully diluted valuation ( FDV) before crashing more than 65% within hours, a move ZachXBT alleges was engineered in coordination

Onchain investigator ZachXBT has published a sweeping investigation into LAB, an AI trading terminal project with a $6 billion fully diluted valuation, alleging insiders control more than 95% of the token supply while running at least four simultaneous mechanisms to extract value from retail participants.

The post Thorchain Hack Drains $10M – ZachXBT Reports  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post Thorchain Hack Drains $10M – ZachXBT Reports  appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News THORChain, a cross-chain crypto trading protocol, was hit by a major hack that may have stolen over $10 million in digital assets across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base.  The attack sparked panic in the DeFi market, causing THORChain’s native token RUNE to drop more than 14% shortly after the exploit. ZachXBT Flags Suspicious Multi-Chain Activity The first warnings came from on-chain investigator ZachXBT, who reported suspicious activity linked to THORChain’s router infrastructure. According to ZachXBT, attackers moved roughly $7.2 million worth of assets including USDT, USDC, and wrapped Bitcoin across multiple blockchain networks before swapping them into ETH. The stolen funds were reportedly spread across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Base. Initial estimates suggested losses exceeded $7.

The post BNB Smart Chain post-quantum roadmap weighs data overhead appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BNB Smart Chain post-quantum planning is no longer a theoretical security exercise. BNB Chain has published a technical report mapping how BNB Smart Chain could migrate toward post-quantum cryptography, and the early results point to a blunt trade-off: stronger cryptography comes with much heavier data overhead. That tension runs through the entire proposal. On one side, the report aims to prepare the network for future quantum threats. On the other, the tests show that much larger signatures can drag down throughput even when consensus behavior holds up relatively well. The picture is unusually clear for a blockchain infrastructure study. BNB Chain is not just floating abstract ideas. It is laying out specific replacements for transaction signatures and validator vote aggregation, then showing what those choices do to block size, latency, and throughput. BNB Smart Chain post-quantum

The post Thorchain Loses Nearly $11M as Attackers Poison Vault Churn Process Across 4 Chains – Bitcoin News appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Thorchain lost approximately $10 to $11 million across Bitcoin, Ethereum, BSC, and Base on May 15, 2026. ZachXBT flagged the exploit publicly as RUNE dropped 12 to 15% within hours, falling to roughly $0.50. Node operators triggered a global emergency halt; a full post-mortem from Thorchain is still pending. Thorchain Funds Compromised Onchain investigator ZachXBT first flagged the incident via his Telegram channel, placing initial losses above $7.4 million before revised estimates pushed the total higher. The breach hit vaults on Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base. The attack method centered on a vault churn, a standard Thorchain process in which node operators rotate in and out while assets are redistributed using threshold signature schemes. Attackers appear to have injected malicious addresses into that process, tri

Thorchain suffered an estimated $10 to $11 million exploit on Friday, after attackers used vault churn address poisoning to redirect funds during a routine migration process across multiple blockchains.
