From Villain to Hero: GMX Hacker Returns Stolen Millions After Bounty Deal 🤑

According to the watchful eyes of PeckShield Alert, the GMX hacker has returned a staggering $37.5 million worth of the stolen assets to the protocol.

Austen’s Take on Polkadot: A Most Unlikely Breakout 🌟

After a period of compression, akin to a lady of quality enduring the constraints of society, Polkadot has finally found the means to break free. The breakout, developing on the weekly timeframe, adds to its potential significance. At the heart of this movement is the $3.75 level, a crucial zone that has previously acted as a barrier and is now being retested as a support. Should the price action hold above this level, DOT may well be setting the stage for a powerful trend reversal, much like a heroine in a novel finding her true path after a series of trials and tribulations.

Dogecoin’s Meteoric Rise: A Supercycle or Just Another Fad?

Ah, the daily time frame of Dogecoin’s price chart. It has a lovely falling channel formation, which has been dominating its price action since early 2025. It had been bouncing off a rather cozy lower support near $0.15, almost as though it was trying to get comfortable. But wait! This week, it showed a rather cheeky breakout above the upper trendline of the falling wedge. The coin is now trading at $0.198, with a market cap of $30.03 billion. Oh, and it’s now above both the 20-day and 50-day EMAs, which is, if I may say so, a rather bullish signal. Could it be headed for the long-term 200-day EMA band? Stay tuned!

🔒 Avalanche’s Little Secret: eERC Unveiled

This innovation, which leverages the latest in cryptographic wizardry, allows on-chain token balances and transaction amounts to remain as mysterious as a sphinx, all while maintaining compliance and auditability when necessary.
