Small Losses, Big Pattern: EVM Wallet Drain Hits 100's of Users

This low-value exploit that looks more like a broad test of defenses than a smash-and-grab.

An unknown attacker has siphoned funds from "hundreds" of wallets across multiple EVM-compatible chains, according to onchain investigator ZachXBT. Each victim lost less than $2,000, which keeps the incident far from headline-grabbing territory on a per-wallet basis, but the breadth of the exploit suggests a systemic weakness rather than isolated bad luck. The pattern has drawn comparisons to December's Trust Wallet incident and is fueling concern that attackers are probing retail wallets for scalable exploits.

Until the entry point is confirmed, the real risk is that this is the dry run, not the main event.

Web3 Games Turn Up the Risk in 2026

Illuvium is rolling out a "risk-to-earn" deathmatch and letting players help set the rules, betting that real danger is the only way to keep Web3 gaming interesting.

Founder Kieran Warwick says the mode is meant to be simple, high-risk, and built for moments that stream well and clip even better. At the same time, Axie Infinity's co-founder admits the project played 2025 too safe and is now signaling "big swings" ahead. The unresolved part is whether players and token holders see this as a comeback phase or just a faster way to get wrecked.

No, Whales Are Not Loading Up On Bitcoin

CryptoQuant says the popular "whales are loading up" story does not match the data. Head of research Julio Moreno argues that many of the viral whale charts are being skewed by exchange movements, not real long-term buyers quietly adding size. If most of what's labeled as "whale accumulation" is just internal reshuffling, the deep-pocketed bid under BTC is smaller than it looks.

That gap between narrative and market structure matters: traders may be counting on support that isn't really there.

Bitfarms Walks Away From Latin America in $30M Deal

Bitfarms has agreed to sell its 70 MW facility in Paso Pe, Paraguay, to the Sympatheia Power Fund for $30 million, marking a full exit from Latin America. Management says the move will leave the company's energy operations "100% North American," tightening its geographic focus at a time of rising pressure on margins.

Investors now have to weigh whether shedding lower-cost but more complex jurisdictions will stabilize the business or limit upside if regional economics shift again.

Is this the Year Solana Finally Loses Its Memecoin Image?

Solana heads into 2026 with a reputation problem of its own making. The chain rode a memecoin boom to an all-time high near $293 in January 2025, then slid to around $130 as speculative flows dried up. Now its builders are trying to pivot the story toward upgrades, tokenized assets, and a pitch to Web2/Web3 finance teams that need high throughput and predictable execution.
