A single transaction. Six chained bugs.
Maya wasn't alone this week. Five major breaches hit across different attack surfaces, totaling fifteen-point-four million dollars in confirmed losses.
The Sandbox exploit added a different dimension. Fourteen-point-nine billion unbacked SAND tokens were minted through an OFT contract via delegate abuse.
Away from the security story, Bitcoin crossed eighty thousand dollars for the first time since May. The weekly rally was twenty-two-point-six percent, driven by two macro signals: the U.S. Treasury doubling long-term bond buyback volume to four billion dollars per session, and White House signals of regulatory optimism.
Ethereum traded near two thousand five hundred and ten dollars with a daily RSI of eighty-point-three-nine. Uniswap V3 fees surged a hundred and ninety-two percent on the week, which is real demand, not noise.
Two other developments are worth flagging. OFAC designated Iranian MOIS-linked operatives for draining sixteen-point-eight million dollars through thirty Bitcoin, Ethereum, and TRON addresses since late two thousand twenty-three.
The real watchpoints heading into the next session: whether Bitcoin holds eighty thousand dollars with spot ETF inflows confirming the move, whether Ethereum's RSI exhaustion leads to a test of the two-thousand-four-hundred-and-seventy-seven support, and whether LayerZero's unresolved delegate authorization flaw claims a fourth protocol before a structural fix arrives. Two thousand and twenty-six is running one-point-two-six billion dollars in losses across two hundred and nineteen incidents.
