News Highlight
- The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Tornado Cash, an Ethereum coin mixer. Tornado Cash was accused of being used to launder more than US$7 billion worth of virtual currency since its creation in 2019. In the announcement, the regulatory body blacklists the Tornado Cash website and a list of Ethereum addresses, banning American citizens from using the tool or transacting with these addresses.
- Over 8,000 Solana hot wallets, including Phantom, Slope, and TrustWallet, were compromised last Wednesday and nearly $4.5 million worth of tokens have been drained. Solana developers said they have identified the root cause of the hack: compromised private keys “created, imported, or used in Slope mobile wallet applications”.
- Uniswap raised a proposal to form a Uniswap Foundation based in the United States, which will cost US$74 million. The proposal gained mixed feedback from the community.
