Nevertheless, the drop in crypto prices seems restrained given the magnitude of losses in the wallet hack and the erosion of confidence in cold storage.

  • Bitcoin and ether fell as the $114 million Coldcard hardware wallet hack shook confidence in self-custody and pushed some holders back to exchanges.
  • Derivatives markets showed mixed signals, with BTC futures open interest at a one-month high, a slightly bearish long-short skew, and options volatility steady as call bets cluster around $68,000 and $70,000.
  • NEAR Protocol reported more than $24 billion in lifetime volume for its Intents system and rolled out quantum-safe cryptography, dynamic resharding and AI compute staking.
