Hedera Ecolending Agreement Bonzo Finance was attacked by a prophecies machine, resulting in a loss of about $9 million

On 11 July, Bonzo Finance, a loan agreement based on Hedera, was attacked by a prophecies machine, resulting in a loss of approximately $9 million. The attackers borrowed assets of far more than real value from the agreement, using collateral that had been exceptionally raised by the SAUCE token price. The preliminary accident report issued by Bonzo indicated that the attackers had deposited only 250 SAUCEs and had subsequently submitted a price update, which artificially raised the currency price by about 12 orders of magnitude, followed by loans of $6.63 million from the loan pool to USDC and 34.5 million sealed HBAR (wHBAR). It is alleged that the attack was not a breach in the Bonzo smart contract or in the Hedera bottom network itself, but was the result of a loophole in the Predictator certifier on the Supra chain, a prognosis servicer, who mistakenly accepted a SAUCE price data with zero signatures, and Supra has now identified the problem and completed the repairs。

ETHERDORF FOUNDATION: AI FOUND LOOPHOLES THAT COULD LEAD TO THE DE-LINKING OF THE CERTIFIER

According to the ETA Foundation, the AI agent recently deployed on its software identified a loophole that could lead to the de-linking of the certificationer. Although loopholes had been identified, a careful human judgement was needed to distinguish between real loopholes and false positives. The loophole is in Gossipsub and allows a remote system to trigger a collapse, leading to an uncalculated node software and then to shut down the certifier until the operator restarts. The loophole was quickly repaired and disclosed as `CVE-2026-34219'. It also noted that AI agents had done well in identifying loopholes, but were weak in addressing gaps that cut across multiple steps。

Robinhood chain day trades $7.6 million, approaching Base in Coinbase

Only 11 days after the launch of the main network, the Robinhood chain has reached 7.6 million transactions per day, narrowing the gap with the Base of Coinbase and further exacerbating competition on the second floor of the ETA network. According to the chain data provided by MSBIntel, the Robinwood chain had 7.6 million transactions on 11 July, while Base had processed 9.2 million transactions during the same period. Although Base still leads in terms of volume of transactions, the gap between the two has narrowed significantly. The Robinhood chain reduced transaction costs for retail traders and decentralised financial users by paying the user ' s gas costs within the first 90 days of operation of the main network, at a cost of nearly $4,000 per day. The one-day trade of over $500 million, deployed in Uniswap, is the second largest source of transactions after the ITA network。

Goldman Sachs restricted staff transactions and projected increased market regulation

With Goldman Sachs limiting staff transactions because of the risk of insider trading, the main Wall Street bank is tightening staff transaction restrictions on the forecast market. This policy shift stems from regulatory concerns about predictive market platforms and the adequacy of existing insider trading rules to respond to incident-driven contractual challenges. Goldman Sachs has banned trading in forecast market contracts related to banks, elections, financial markets, macroeconomic indicators and geopolitical developments. According to a spokesman for Goldman Sachs, banks have prohibited employees from using important, non-public information in all markets to conduct transactions. According to the report, Goldman Sachs was one of the first leading companies to impose restrictions on forecast market transactions. Many enterprises are still assessing whether traditional insider trading policies are sufficient or whether separate guidance is required. Legal experts indicated that predicting market contracts could pose additional compliance challenges as they covered a wide range of future events。

Tom Lee: The Ether House will connect Wall Street to the encryption market

Chairman Tom Lee of Bitmine predicted that the Taifung would play a central role in integrating traditional finance with encrypted money as a single market. He indicated that the boundary between traditional financial markets and digital assets would eventually disappear and that the ETA would be at the centre of that transition. Lee also mentioned that Bitmine currently holds 5,742,237 iPa, which is about 4.8 per cent of its supply. Recent disclosures by the company indicate that Bitmine has continued to increase its holdings this year, with a recent increase of 27,084. Lee argued that with the change in encryption regulation in the United States, investors had become more optimistic about the long-term prospects for the Ether House。
