Two critical vulnerabilities were found in the XRP Ledger before a single user was affected. That's the headline.
The industry baseline makes the contrast sharper. Seventy percent of exploited contracts in the DeFi space had been audited.
Away from XRPL, Binance has imposed phased transaction restrictions on sixteen crypto platforms tied to EU and US sanctions. The rollout runs from August seventh through the twenty-third.
Tokenized stocks are moving fast. Monthly transfer volume hit twenty-three point one three billion dollars.
Bitcoin whale wallets have added fifty-four thousand BTC since June. Price is still rejecting below the sixty-five thousand dollar supply zone.
One final development worth flagging. DefiLlama delayed its app launch by months waiting for Apple to remove phishing copies.
