A decade after the infamous 2016 hack that drained 3.6 million ETH, TheDAO is making a historic comeback.
What's Happening: TheDAO Security Fund is activating 75,000+ ETH (~$220M) of unclaimed funds dormant since 2016. This will now strengthen Ethereum security.
Key Details: ◉ Fund Size: 75,000+ ETH (~$220M) ◉ Purpose: Security audits, tools, and DeFi protection ◉ Curators: Vitalik Buterin, Taylor Monahan, Alex Van de Sande ◉ Initial Grants: $13.5M for security projects
Why It Matters: The 2016 hack was Ethereum's darkest moment, forcing a hard fork that created Ethereum Classic. Now that painful history transforms into a defense system against crypto exploits.
Lucky Block (LBLOCK): Healthy Retest Strengthens the Breakout Case
Lucky Block (LBLOCK) is undergoing a natural and healthy retracement following its explosive 7.7% surge, a common technical phenomenon that serves to consolidate gains and establish a stronger foundation.
This pullback represents a critical test of the new support levels and provides an opportunity for the trend to solidify before continuing its upward trajectory.
Solana price action continues to deteriorate, with the broader market structure remains firmly bearish. Despite brief relief rallies, SOL has consistently failed to regain upside traction, reinforcing the prevailing downtrend.
With price now rotating back toward high-time-frame support at $117, market participants are closely watching this level for signs of either stabilization or failure. Given the lack of bullish participation and the persistence of lower highs, the risk of a capitulation move below support is increasing

Bitcoin short-term holders need liquidity reset as 22% of BTC supply sits in loss
On-chain analytics firm Glassnode has identified key metrics that will determine the next phase of Bitcoin (BTC) price growth, according to a recent analysis published by the company.
Bitcoin has experienced a downward trend, with price increases proving unsustainable due to insufficient buying liquidity, according to market data. After Bitcoin maintained its support range in recent weeks, market attention has shifted to liquidity conditions, Glassnode reported.
Glassnode shows long-term BTC holders selling
The firm stated that a meaningful trend reversal and uptrend in Bitcoin requires a recovery in market liquidity. For a sustainable upward trend, the profit/loss ratio must remain above a certain level of its 90-day moving average, according to the analysis.
Drawing on historical data, Glassnode reported that strong price recoveries, including mid-cycle rebounds in the last two years, only occurred when the profit/loss ratio remained above 5. A ratio above 5 indicates consistently renewed liquidity inflows and a return of capital to Bitcoin, according to the firm. The current rate stands at approximately 2, well below the threshold identified by Glassnode.
The analytics firm also identified Bitcoin’s supply structure as a source of pressure. Glassnode estimates that approximately 22% of the circulating Bitcoin supply is currently at a loss, a level similar to correction phases seen in the first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2018. This increases the risk of a correction and could reignite selling pressure if Bitcoin fails to hold key support levels, according to analysts.

White House To Meet Crypto, Banking Executives To Discuss Market Structure Bill
The White House will meet with representatives from crypto companies and traditional banks in the coming days to work on stablecoin yield concerns in the crypto market structure bill, according to individuals familiar with the matter.
The legislation, which was delayed earlier this month, has hit resistance over how it proposes regulating stablecoin rewards — particularly provisions that could limit interest-bearing or reward-linked features tied to the dollar-pegged tokens. Banks have opposed letting stablecoin issuers or their exchange partners offer rewards, warning it risks deposit flight. The crypto industry has said offering these rewards will benefit end users.
