Every crypto cycle produces a new asset class nobody quite has the tools to measure properly, and Cookie.fun has built its entire business around quantifying the latest one: attention itself.The platform doesn’t trade tokens, doesn’t run a marketplace, and doesn’t do anything you’d typically associate with a crypto platform’s front page. What it does is track exactly how much of the internet’s attention any given AI agent or crypto project is actually capturing, in real time, and turn that into a number traders are increasingly building strategies around.

Tiffany Milanovich apparently never got the memo on an old rule in crime: the moment you start showing off, you start leaving evidence. While allegedly draining victims of millions in crypto, she wasn’t hiding in the shadows, she was posting the receipts herself, recording her own taunts, and flexing stolen funds like trophies. Now, on-chain investigator ZachXBT says all that bragging has caught up with her, in a report that reads less like a crime blotter and more like a masterclass in how not to get away with it.I’ve followed enough of these ZachXBT threads to know they rarely stay…

I’ve spent the last few years telling friends and family the same thing: switch to passkeys, they can’t be phished. That advice wasn’t wrong exactly, but reading through this new research left me a little humbled. Three separate teams just showed that you don’t need to break FIDO2’s cryptography to beat it. You just need to find the messy human infrastructure sitting around it, a logging service that kept too much, a memory buffer that lingered too long, a session that trusted too easily. None of them cracked the math. All three still got in.What The Research Actually FoundThree independent…

British authorities arrested Zhou in 2021 on suspicion of money laundering, but prosecutors have not charged him, and the investigation remains open. The source of Aqua 1’s $100 million WLFI purchase remains unclear, while blockchain analysis linked separate $20 million and $80 million buys to related wallets. World Liberty says it followed applicable laws and maintains strong compliance controls, while its spokesperson declined to discuss the source of Zhou’s funds. World Liberty is…

When I saw this thread circulating during NFT season, my first reaction wasn’t shock, it was déjà vu. It comes back, and somehow so does every familiar name from the last cycle, the good, the bad, and apparently the previously investigated.This time it’s Cole Villemain, better known online as ColeThereum, a Pudgy Penguins co-founder who was pushed out of his own project by the community he built it with. He’s back, he’s raised over a million dollars in hours, and a lot of people online, including a detailed recap posted by @ProMint_X, are asking the same question I am: didn’t…

Institutional investors accounted for 72% of Wintermute’s spot OTC trading volume in the first half of 2026, up from 59% a year earlier, showing how professional capital is becoming a larger part of crypto trading flow. The figures come from Wintermute’s own OTC flow report, so they should be read carefully. This does not mean institutions make up 72% of global Bitcoin spot trading. It means institutional clients represented 72% of spot volume on Wintermute’s OTC platform during the period. That distinction matters, but the signal is still important. Large traders, funds, market makers, corporates, and structured product desks are…
