Issues⚠️
Trezor and BitBox users received phishing emails claiming a fake STM32 chip vulnerability, sent from legitimate help@trezor.io addresses after attackers breached a shared third-party email provider, which passed authentication checks and made the emails appear genuine.
Both companies confirmed no actual vulnerability exists and have shut down the malicious domains.
Never enter your seed phrase online or click links in these emails, even if they appear to come from an official address.
Revolut mistakenly handed over customer data — including names, addresses, ID copies, and transaction records — to attackers who impersonated a government request via a fraudulent email on a legitimate government domain.
No systems were hacked and funds are safe, but attackers are now leaking data of high-profile customers online and demanding payment.
Liquid Network resumes block production after suffering a $320M exploit, though transactions and peg operations remain suspended as the team continues recovery efforts.
Stablecoins/RWA🪙

Exponent Finance & OnRefinance introduce limited-time incentives for ONyc and srONyc markets on top of 10% implied APY.
Exponent Finance launches December maturities for Solstice’s USX and eUSX, offering >6% APY + a bonus Flares multiplier of 32x on YT-USX positions until September 23.
Prediction Markets🔮
Trade.xyz launched Events, adding prediction markets (starting with Up/Down contracts on equities, commodities, and pre-IPOs) resolved directly against trade.xyz’s own perpetual prices rather than external oracles — expanding into sports, politics, and economics, all within the same unified margin account as spot, perps, and lending.
Perps DEX📉📈
Velocity launched Private Beta Round 2 and detailed its DFX recovery plan — DFX tokens (one per verified USDT lost in April) redeemable against a recovery pool funded by 60-90% of protocol revenue, starting with ~3.1M USDT already onchain.
Claims live now at dfx.drift.trade; unclaimed DFX will be burned at window close.
New accounts on Ondo Perps can earn up to $100 in rewards by meeting specific trading requirements from September 10-17.
News🗞️
Senate Republicans released revised CLARITY Act text with a Trump-backed ethics proposal, calling it their “last, best and final” offer ahead of Tuesday’s cloture vote. Democrats meet tonight to discuss their response.
Unconfirmed rumors suggest the SEC may be preparing a major ruling granting a major asset manager (possibly Fidelity, ARK, or BlackRock) an exemption to trade tokenized funds onchain, and that Nasdaq is in talks with a digital-asset exchange about a tokenization partnership — both unofficial for now.
