Ethereum price pulled back in the past three days as traders adjust their positions for June, its historically worst month. Ethereum (ETH) has declined for three consecutive days, hitting a low of $2,500. That’s a 9.8% drop from its monthly high. Despite the pullback, it has outperformed most altcoins, many of which have fallen more than 15% from their highs this month. ETH retreated ahead of June, which is usually its worst month, because of the start of summer. CoinGlass data shows that the average monthly performance in June since 2016 is minus 7.4%. Its median monthly return in June is minus 8.68%.

For example, ETH dropped by 18% in March, bucking a four-year trend of gains. It also dropped by 31% in February, after recording positive gains in the last six consecutive years.  You might also like:Ripple effect: XRP plunge puts whale on brink of $8m liquidation Ethereum has some strong fundamentals as June kicks off.

美国联邦检察官指控一名加拿大公民利用两种去中心化金融协议的漏洞，指控他窃取了数百万的加密货币并试图掩盖自己的踪迹。 美国司法部 2 月 3 日宣布，滑铁卢大学数学专业毕业生安第斯·梅杰多维奇 (Andean Medjedovic) 因与 KyberSwap 和 Indexed Finance 漏洞有关的电信欺诈、计算机黑客攻击、企图勒索和洗钱行为被起诉。 根据指控，Medjedovic 操纵了两个平台上的智能合约，利用欺骗性交易诱使自动化系统错误计算关键值。据称，他利用这些漏洞在 2023 年从 KyberSwap 窃取了 4880 万美元，并在 2021 年从 Indexed Finance 窃取了 1650 万美元。 起诉书称，梅杰多维奇通过欺诈性交易“以虚假价格套取了数百万投资者资金”。受害者的投资实际上变得毫无价值。 检察官补充说，梅杰多维奇在几个月的时间里精心策划了 KyberSwap 漏洞利用，并维护了一个带有“KYBER_KILL”和“templateexploit”等标签的文件目录。 他创建了一个“资金池攻击列表”来确定要攻击的流动资金池，并战略性地安排攻击时间，写下诸如“找时间发动攻击！首席执行官在河池。”之类的提示。他甚至计算出攻击的最佳时间，以配合美国人和欧洲人可能睡觉的时间。 你可能还喜欢：Immunefi：1 月份加密货币黑客攻击次数增加 9 倍 检察官称，袭击发生后，梅杰多维奇试图勒索 KyberSwap 开发者、投资者和 DAO 成员，要求控制该协议，以换取归还 50% 的被盗资金。 与此同时，他还在努力掩盖自己的行踪。据称，梅杰多维奇和一名同伙通过加密货币混合器和区块链桥洗白了被盗的加密货币，将资金转移到多个网络以掩盖其来源。他还使用假身份在加密货币交易所开设账户，试图在不引起警觉的情况下清算其持有的资产。 此外，当一个桥接协议冻结他的交易时，Medjedovic 据称向一名卧底执法人员支付了 85,000 美元——相信他们是一名开发人员，可以绕过限制并解锁他冻结的价值 500,000 美元的加密货币。 一旦罪名成立，梅杰多维奇将面临严厉的惩罚，包括因电信欺诈、勒索未遂和洗钱等罪名最高可被判处 20 年监禁，因未经授权损坏受保护的计算机最高可被判处 10 年监禁。 包括荷兰国家警察网络犯罪部门和美国检察官在内的执法机构正在继续追捕仍逍遥法外的梅杰多维奇。 2023 年 12 月 20 日，KyberSwap 宣布了一项财政计划，以补偿受黑客攻击影响的用户。 在最近的.X 帖子中，该协议表示，这笔赠款已全部发放给 1,371 名受助人。（见下文。） KyberSwap 财政拨款已完成2024 年 2 月 1 日，KyberSwap 启动了财政补助计划，以支持受影响的 Elastic 用户。经过 1 年的归属，我们很高兴地宣布，KyberSwap 财政拨款已根据以下条件全部分配给 1,371 名接收者……pic.twitter.com/8otTdLKTiJ 黑客在 2025 年迄今为止最大规模的攻击中从 Phemex 窃取了 7000 万美元

由于 BNB Chain 2025 年路线图中计划的多项进步，BNB 已超越 SOL，成为市值第五大加密货币。 在过去 24 小时内，BNB 的市值上涨了 12%，达到 1040 亿美元，而 Solana 的市值则下跌了 0.1%，达到 950 亿美元。此外，链上指标也有所改善。由于 BNB Chain 上的用户活动增加，交易费用在过去一周内上涨了 115%。这与其他费用下降的区块链形成了鲜明对比，例如 Solana、以太坊和 Base。 BNB 价格和用户活跃度的飙升源于 BNB Chain 重大升级的公告。根据 BNB Chain 的 2025 年路线图，该网络的重点将放在提高性能和改善用户体验上。 最值得注意的变化之一是计划将区块延迟从三秒减少到一秒以下，从而加快交易处理速度。该网络还打算引入无 gas 交易。用户将能够使用稳定币或其他 BEP-20 代币支付无 gas 交易的交易费。 你可能还喜欢：BNB Chain 发起 AI 黑客马拉松，推动区块链创新 具有 AI 功能的智能钱包的发布是另一项重大进展。人工智能智能钱包有望改善新用户和有经验用户的体验。使用这些钱包，管理密钥、一次完成多笔交易和支付 gas 费用将变得更加简单。BNB Chain 也在研究可以帮助用户管理投资组合、比较价格和自动交易的 AI 工具。 相关新闻：币安创始人赵长鹏引发了新一轮 memecoin 热潮。赵长鹏在 X（以前的 Twitter）上向他的 980 万粉丝提出了一个简单的问题，引发了有关新 memecoin 的传言。赵长鹏此前一直是 memecoin 的坚定批评者，他指出建设者应该注重实用性。 新手老实问。这是怎么回事？我分享了我家狗狗的名字和照片，然后人们就创建了 memcoin？你怎么知道哪一个是“官方”的？或者这到底重要吗？（我看到很多人要求提供姓名和照片。😂）https://t.co/ZcvEhzgwmM— CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) 2025 年 2 月 12 日 如果 CZ 推出 memecoin，这可能会进一步促进 BNB Chain 的链上活动，并导致 BNB 价格飙升。到目前为止，Solana 一直是 memecoin 的首选链。CZ 对加密社区的巨大吸引力可能会使规模转向有利于 BNB，至少在短期内如此。

Huione Group, a Cambodian conglomerate linked to the largest illicit online marketplace, could be cut off from the U.S. financial system under a new Treasury proposal. According to a May 1 announcement from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the agency is looking to label Huione Group as a “primary money laundering concern” and block it from accessing the American banking network FinCEN’s proposed rule would prevent U.S. financial institutions from opening or maintaining any correspondent or payable-through accounts for Huione Group. “Today’s proposed action will sever Huione Group’s access to correspondent banking, degrading these groups’ ability to launder their ill-gotten gains,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an accompanying statement. While the company doesn’t directly bank in the U.S., FinCEN claims it reportedly operates through overseas firms that do, giving it indirect access to the American financial system. Authorities say this access has allowed Huione to quietly support major cybercriminal operations, including laundering stolen crypto for North Korea’s notorious Lazarus Group. You might also like:Google delists Huione app after Elliptic report According to the financial crimes watchdog, the group allegedly helped move at least $4 billion in illicit funds between August 2021 and January 2025, with a notable portion of those funds linked to online scams, such as pig butchering. One of the biggest concerns is that Huione has built a sprawling network of businesses designed to support its operations. These include Huione Pay, a payment services firm; Huione Crypto, a virtual asset platform; and a controversial Telegram-based marketplace that recently rebranded to Haowang Guarantee. FinCEN also flagged Huione’s stablecoin, USDH, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar but designed in a way that makes it hard to freeze. Officials believe it’s being used to sidestep oversight and quietly funnel illicit funds into fiat currency. “Because Huione Group claims that USDH cannot be frozen, this service offers Huione Group’s clientele a virtually risk-free ecosystem to move or store CVC without the risk of interception or “freezing” by law enforcement,” FinCEN noted in its rulemaking submission. In July 2024, Tether froze nearly $30 million in USDT linked to Huoine accounts, which may have prompted the launch of USDH. The proposed rule is now open to public comment for 30 days before it can take effect. Back in July 2024, blockchain forensics firm Elliptic raised red flags around Huione, calling it a central hub for Southeast Asian cybercriminals.  The report described the company’s marketplace as the biggest of its kind, with thousands of Telegram channels offering laundering services, scam website tools, and even human trafficking-related services. The platform’s mobile app was eventually delisted from the Google Play Store in January following criminal allegations, but it remains active on the Apple App Store.  Read more:Huione, company behind largest illicit online marketplace, launches stablecoin: report

DYDX price is flashing signs of a potential breakout as volume picks up and indicators turn bullish. At press time, dYdX (DYDX) is trading at $0.67 and is showing signs of a potential breakout from the multi-month consolidation phase, supported by a clear uptick in volume over the past week. Since May 8, the volume bars have risen noticeably, coinciding with three consecutive strong bullish candles and then a period of tight price clustering. That surge in price action led to a bullish crossover, with the EMA 20 crossing above the SMA 50, which is often seen as a signal of shifting momentum in favor of buyers. The price continues to hold above both moving averages. With the latest peak around $0.75, DYDX price has once again tested the upper boundary of the consolidation range. This level had previously acted as strong resistance, with the price being rejected there twice—first at the beginning and then again at the end of March. However, there was no significant uptick in volume and no bullish crossover between the moving averages at the time. In contrast, the current setup is much stronger, with rising volume and a confirmed bullish crossover, both suggesting that this test of resistance may lead to a sustained breakout rather than another rejection. Momentum indicators further support the bullish case for DYDX, with the RS currently holding above 50, signaling strengthening bullish momentum without yet being overbought. It has remained consistently above its midline in recent weeks, showing a shift in sentiment from neutral to bullish. The MACD has also turned positive, with the MACD line crossing above the signal line and both trending upward.

This level represents the upper boundary of the range formed after the breakout above the descending trendline. A decisive move above $0.80 would open the door to the $1.10–$1.20 zone, which served as a key support area before the breakdown that led to the move below $0.80. If momentum continues to build and DYDX reclaims this zone, the next major target would be the psychological $2.00 level and potentially beyond. The potential upcoming rally may be buoyed by the recent developments on the tokenomics side, most notably dYdX’s launch of its first-ever token buyback program. This initiative, which began on March 24, allocates 25% of net protocol fees toward purchasing DYDX from the open market and staking it to bolster network security. Coupled with a 50% reduction in emissions expected in June, this may provide fundamental support to any bullish price action in the near term.
