Core Ventures, the investment arm aligned with the Core Foundation, has deployed more than $1 million across 15 Bitcoin-aligned projects since launching in early 2024. Core Ventures is on a mission to transform Bitcoin (BTC) from a passive store-of-value into an active layer of financial infrastructure that can serve as the foundation for lending, yield generation, stablecoins, and decentralized finance, crypto.news can exclusively report. As the BTCFi continues to grow with a total value locked across Bitcoin-based DeFi protocols up 2,700% since January, Core Ventures is funding projects that push Bitcoin’s programmability. The portfolio spans key verticals including lending, staking, real-world assets, DeFi infrastructure, and financial primitives such as stablecoins. Among the standout investments are Colend, a lending and borrowing protocol on Core, which boasts more than $170 million in TVL and recently launched the first web3 credit card; and Solv Protocol, which provides liquid staking, structured yield products, and Bitcoin fund management services. Another notable project is BitFLUX, a Core Ventures-incubated platform focused on liquidity aggregation and BTC yield generation.

We’re here to fund the people actually shipping Core itself serves as the technical foundation for this ecosystem: a Proof-of-Work-backed, EVM-compatible blockchain that enables non-custodial Bitcoin staking. With over 6,000 BTC staked, more than 50,000 daily users, and more than $500 million in TVL, it anchors what is now the largest Bitcoin DeFi environment. Looking ahead, Core Ventures plans to continue deploying capital into projects that advance Bitcoin’s utility across lending, collateralization, decentralized identity, and real-world asset tokenization. The team emphasizes that its investment strategy favors builders already shipping, rather than those still drafting whitepapers.

去中心化永续合约交易所 KiloEx 向香港警方报告了最近一次价值 740 万美元的黑客攻击，并正在为受影响的用户准备赔偿计划。 该平台在 X 上发布的详细更新中表示，它正在与警方刑事部门和网络犯罪部门以及区块链安全公司 SlowMist 合作调查此事件并追踪黑客的身份。 4 月 15 日的漏洞源于价格预言机访问控制漏洞，该漏洞允许攻击者操纵 ETH/USD 定价，在单笔交易中获利数百万美元。该漏洞最先被 Cyvers Alerts 发现，它标记了 Base、Taiko 和 BNB Chain 之间的可疑跨链活动。 据 PeckShield 称，损失分布在 Base（330 万美元）、opBNB（310 万美元）和 BSC（100 万美元）。 KiloEx 表示该漏洞已修复，并强调所有未平仓仓位均不会面临清算。所有仓位将根据攻击前的价格快照进行平仓。漏洞利用期间的盈利和亏损将不计入最终用户余额。 The exchange has initiated communication with the hacker, sending four on-chain messages offering to accept 90% of the stolen funds in exchange for dropping pursuit. So far, no response has been received, and the funds remain unmoved. KiloEx also published the hacker’s wallet addresses and coordinated with centralized and decentralized platforms to block further access. 您可能还喜欢：研究表明，80% 的首次加密货币用户需要可见的安全性 暂定补偿计划 为了让用户放心，KiloEx 表示正在筹集补偿资金，并将在最终确定计划后逐步恢复 Vault 功能。 该交易所发布消息称：“我们目前正在筹集资金并制定补偿计划，以确保 KiloEx 用户能够迅速恢复流动性。”“补偿计划最终确定后，Vault 功能将逐步恢复。用户在 Vault 中的资金将保持安全。” The team denied rumors of internal involvement, noting that both SlowMist and law enforcement have full access to its internal data. A full report will be released once the investigation allows. Trading is expected to resume soon. The protocol, backed by YZi Labs, is offering bounties for user-submitted clues that aid in the investigation.

据报道，Polymarket 的与特朗普乌克兰矿产交易相关的预测市场遭遇了一次治理攻击，原因是一头鲸鱼在最后一刻进行干预，使得预测结果对他们有利。 据 Wu Blockchain 报道，一名内部鲸鱼花费 500 万个 UMA（UMA）代币对 Polymarket 投注池的最终结果进行投票，该投注池名为“乌克兰在 4 月前同意特朗普矿产协议？” 由于鲸鱼在最后一刻的干预，它能够通过投下 25% 的“赞成”票来推翻最终结果。因此，鲸鱼能够通过 UMA 预言机操纵最终结果。 Polymarket 使用 UMA 的 Optimistic Oracle 来确定市场结果并验证现实世界的事件。UMA 的预言机依赖于社区共识，将 UMA 代币持有者称为“相关市场结果的公正仲裁者”。 流入投注池的资金量高达700多万美元。由于该事件，许多押注“NO”的Polymarket交易员遭受了数千美元的损失。 最终结果公布时，许多交易员认为，没有官方确认特朗普总统与乌克兰政府之间的协议已正式签署。 据路透社报道，3月25日，特朗普声称预计美国和乌克兰之间的收益分享协议将“很快签署”。不过，交易员们认为，这不足以证实投注池的结果。 你可能还喜欢：Polymarket 现接受用户的 Solana 存款 “这是一个大笑话，泽连斯基刚刚宣布他们正在考虑一项更大的交易。这意味着之前没有达成任何协议，哇，真是个骗局，”一位 Polymarket 交易员在投注池的评论区说道。 另一位交易员表示，“在2028年美国总统大选中，谁拥有更多的UMA，谁就将决定谁赢得总统大选，而Polymarket将成为一个笑话。” X 上的一位用户名为 @Web3Marmot 的用户在最近的一篇帖子中对 Polymarket 进行了抨击，指责该预测市场平台欺骗用户。他们表示，事件结果不是由现实世界的事件决定的。相反，他们声称最终结果是由“有影响力的用户决定的，他们会稳固自己的地位，然后投票支持自己，而不管实际结果如何。” Moreover, they explained that UMA whales had voted “YES,” despite the deal not having been officially signed nor announced. This means that UMA token holders ultimately decide the final outcome, not real world events. Web3Marmot 写道：“规则明确规定，‘该市场的解决方案来源将是美国和乌克兰政府的官方信息’。然而，尚未确认该交易或决定的结果。” Polymarket 对争议的回应 在 Discord 上分享的一篇帖子中，Polymarket 的一名代表承认了围绕“乌克兰在 4 月之前同意特朗普矿产协议？”投注池的争议。 “我们了解乌克兰稀土市场的情况。该市场最终的解决违背了我们用户的期望和我们的澄清。不幸的是，由于这不是市场失灵，我们无法退款，”Polymarket 代表 Tanner 说道。 Polymarket 发生治理攻击，UMA 大亨利用其投票权操纵预言机，让市场结算虚假结果并成功获利。该大亨通过三个账户投了 500 万个代币，占总投票数的 25%。……pic.twitter.com/3xFuzdRfWJ— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) 2025 年 3 月 26 日 Polymarket 团队认为这种情况是“前所未有的情况”，并声称他们一直在与 UMA 预言机团队合作，以防止这种情况再次发生。此外，该团队承诺在试图更好地了解情况并实施更清晰的规则时向交易者分享更多细节。 “我们致力于构建预测市场的未来，这需要建立每个人都可以信赖的弹性系统，”Tanner 在 Polymarket Discord 频道上写道。 你可能还喜欢：Polymarket 开始对中本聪的身份进行押注
