Israeli-Russian man faces extradition to US over $190m Nomad crypto hack

Coinbase stock price had its best week since November last year, even as the company moved from one bad news to another.  Coinbase shares ended the week at $266, their highest level since February and 88% above their lowest level this year. This gives Coinbase a market cap of over $67.8 billion.  Coinbase stock price weekly performance | Source: TradingView Coinbase experienced major headwinds This rally happened in a difficult week for the company and the crypto market. First, the recent crypto market rally stalled, with Bitcoin (BTC) remaining stubbornly below $105,000 and many altcoins crashing by double digits from their monthly highs. Second, Coinbase revealed a major hack that may cost it over $400 million. The hackers collaborated with overseas staff, received sensitive data, and demanded a $20 million ransom. Coinbase revealed that it will not pay the ransom but instead will pay for tips leading to the hacker’s arrests.  Third, it was revealed that Coinbase was under an SEC probe for misstating customer data in its disclosures. The probe centers on whether the company has over 100 million verified users, as it claimed in filings. Coinbase has insisted that it stopped reporting that number two years ago. Why Coinbase stock price soared Coinbase stock price rose despite these headwinds because these events will not have a major impact on its business. First, the ongoing pullback in the crypto market will likely be temporary, with most analysts predicting more Bitcoin gains in the long term. Ark Invest expects BTC to hit $2.4 million in 2030, while BlackRock has a $700,000 target.

For example, Equifax’s stock price has jumped since 2017 when it was hacked and data on 147 million customers was stolen. Other companies that have thrived after their hacks were Target, Home Depot, Sony, and Capital One.  Also, there is a probability that Coinbase has insurance coverage that will help with any related payments.  Third, the ongoing SEC probe started under the Biden administration, meaning that the Paul Atkins-led agency may decide to end it. The SEC has already ended many previous probes started by Gary Gensler. Further, this week’s events did not lead to a downgrade by Wall Street analysts. Some of the most bullish ones are from Benchmark, Rosenblatt, Oppenheimer, and Compass Point.  These analysts cite its strong market share in the U.S. and its expansion to the derivatives market through the Deribit acquisition.  Most importantly, the Coinbase stock price jumped ahead of its addition to the S&P 500 Index on Monday. This addition means that all funds that track the index will be forced to buy the stock.  Read more:The Coinbase hack that shadowed its S&P rise — and the investigators who saw it coming

迈克尔·诺沃格拉茨 (Michael Novogratz) 的 Galaxy Digital 将支付 2 亿美元，因为有人指控它在 LUNA 代币崩盘前，一边推广 LUNA，一边出售数百万个代币以赚取利润。 迈克尔·诺沃格拉茨 (Michael Novogratz) 创立的加密货币投资公司 Galaxy Digital 已同意与纽约总检察长办公室达成 2 亿美元的和解协议，以解决其被指控推广算法加密货币 LUNA (LUNA) 的同时悄悄出售数百万代币以牟利的指控。该公司既没有承认也没有否认这些指控。 纽约州检察总长办公室在一份文件中概述了和解协议，称 Galaxy 公司于 2020 年收购了 LUNA。纽约州检察总长办公室称，与此同时，该公司在未披露出售意图的情况下推广和出售其持有的资产，从而违反了《马丁法案》和《纽约行政法》。 在和解协议中，监管机构表示，迈克尔·诺沃格拉茨是 LUNA 最直言不讳的支持者之一，他承认 Galaxy 通过营销努力“帮助‘激发’了人们对 Luna 的兴趣”。 你可能还喜欢：Mike Novogratz：FTX 的 Sam Bankman-Fried“需要被起诉” 文件称，虽然 Galaxy 公开表达了对 LUNA 的信心，但同时却悄悄地“以初始成本的数倍向市场出售了数百万个代币，但并未披露其正在出售的情况”。 据报道，Galaxy 以折扣价购买了 1850 万个 LUNA 代币，并分批出售其中大部分，到 2022 年 3 月获利超过 1 亿美元。到 2022 年 5 月 LUNA 崩盘时，Galaxy 已经几乎全部退出。纽约州检察总长声称：“最终，Galaxy 帮助一个鲜为人知的代币将其市场价格从 2020 年 10 月的 0.31 美元提高到 2022 年 4 月的 119.18 美元，同时获利数亿美元。” 根据和解协议，Galaxy 将在三年内支付 2 亿美元，首先在两周内支付 4000 万美元。该公司还同意实施政策以防止利益冲突，包括对代币投资和促销声明进行法律分析。截至发稿时，Galaxy Digital 尚未就此事发表任何公开声明。 阅读更多：加密货币贷款机构破产后，Galaxy Digital 获得 Celsius 资产 60% 的折扣

MistTrack recently revealed a new threat in the crypto space that steals funds from users’ wallets that comes in the form of a hijacking exploit found within a printer driver. In a recent post, the cybersecurity arm of SlowMist raised awareness regarding a fairly new, yet hard to detect, threat entering the crypto space. Through an installed printer driver, a malicious backdoor program is able to hijack users’ clipboard and replace their copied crypto wallet address with that of the attacker’s. “The official driver provided by this printer carries a backdoor program. It will hijack the wallet address in the user’s clipboard and replace it with the attacker’s address,” wrote the web3 cybersecurity platform. According to on-chain data from MistTrack, the attacker has stolen at least 9.3086 Bitcoin (BTC) from dozens of on-chain addresses. Based on current prices, the stolen funds amount to nearly $1 million or around $989,383. The crypto wallet address has been active since April 22, 2016. Before its recent activities, its last detected on-chain transaction was in March 14, 2024 and is linked to multiple crypto exchanges.

Cases of hidden malware exploits, like the one highlighted by MistTrack, occur as a result of attackers distributing malicious code through programs that need to be installed into the user’s hardware, such as a laptop, computer or mobile device. In this case, the attacker inserted the backdoor program through a printer driver that appears legitimate. Once installed, the driver monitors the user’s clipboard—the temporary storage area where copied data is held— in search of a cryptocurrency wallet addresses. If the user copies what appears to be a crypto wallet address in order to send funds, the malware instead replaces it with the attacker’s crypto wallet address. When the user pastes what it believes to be the original crypto wallet address from the clipboard and they fail to notice the hijacked change, the funds are then sent to the attacker’s wallet instead of the intended recipient. A similar exploit was highlighted by CyberArk back in March 2025, which involved a malware called MassJacker. The malware enabled the attacker to access the user’s clipboard to alter the original crypto wallet address and redirect cryptocurrency transactions to attacker-controlled wallets, effectively stealing funds from the victim’s wallet. Unlike the printer driver exploit, MassJacker used more than 750,000 unique addresses instead of a recurring one. The malware was able to infiltrate user’s hardware through pirated and cracked software downloaded from unofficial websites.

RIZE, the native token of the RWA tokenization project T-RIZE, saw a steep price drop just a day after going live on major exchanges. According to CoinGecko, RIZE plunged nearly 48% in 24 hours, trading around $0.046 as of May 16 morning Asian time. The price action follows just a day after RIZE secured a listing on tier-1 centralized exchange Kraken on May 15, 15:00 UTC, coinciding with its Token Generation Event (TGE) and mainnet launch. The token was launched on the Base blockchain, an Ethereum Layer 2 network developed by Coinbase. Alongside Kraken, the token also secured a listing on the decentralised exchange Aerodrome and DEX aggregator Matcha (Base). Following the TGE, the token had a reported circulating supply of $27 million. Of its total 5 billion max supply, 4% (200 million tokens) was allocated for airdrops. However, those tokens are locked for now, with a 1-month cliff and 6-month vesting, meaning airdrop recipients can’t sell right away. Source: RIZE whitepaper However, private sale investors, who were allocated 7% of the total supply or around 350 million tokens, faced no lockup or vesting restrictions, allowing them to trade their tokens immediately after launch. This unrestricted access likely played a key role in the early wave of sell pressure and the sharp decline in RIZE’s price shortly after it went live.

Meanwhile, seed and growth investors are on a 6-month cliff, and the team’s share (14%) is locked for 2 years. Governance tokens will unlock slowly over three years after a 12-month cliff. Sell-offs like this are a common occurrence within the crypto space, especially when tokens get listed on major exchanges during their TGE. Early investors often rush to book profits, causing short-term volatility even if the project has strong long-term potential. RIZE’s debut drew significant public interest, with the token trending on Google even as its price fell sharply. Public interest can also lead to increased demand or new buyers stepping in, which could help absorb some of the selling pressure. What is RIZE crypto? For the uninitiated, RIZE is the native token of T-RIZE Group, a project focused on tokenizing real-world assets like real estate and infrastructure. It runs on Rizenet, a Layer 1 blockchain built on Avalanche, designed to support decentralized machine learning and secure institutional asset tokenization. The token is used for governance, gas fees, and accessing exclusive investment opportunities. It also plays a role in federated learning, letting participants collaborate on data without compromising privacy. T-RIZE Group is based in Montreal, Canada, and has already secured a $300 million tokenization deal. It’s backed by École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), one of Canada’s top tech universities, and is backed by major players like Canton Network, Hashlock, and the IBC Group.  Read more:Solana faces rejection at $180 resistance: eyes on $125 support Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
