Ionic Suffers $8.6 Million Loss from Attack, Formerly Midas Protocol Attacked Twice
On-chain data shows that Ionic on Mode suffered a loss of $8.6 million from an attack.
On-chain detective ZachXBT stated that Ionic was formerly the Midas protocol, which had been attacked twice in 2023, while Ionic used an old audit report from Midas from 2022 at its launch.
ZachXBT privately messaged the team questioning the security of Ionic's contracts, and the team stated that their codebase is based on a Compound fork, and the vulnerabilities in Midas were due to known issues in the Compound code. These issues have been addressed through measures such as implementing whitelists and reentrancy attack circuit breakers in the new pool, emphasizing that Ionic is very secure.
Odaily previously reported that the Ionic platform based on Mode was attacked, with hackers using unofficial fake LBTC (Lombard BTC) as collateral for borrowing on the Ionic platform. The team is investigating, and Odaily reminds users not to interact with it.

U.S. CFTC Restructures Its Enforcement Division to Refocus on Fraud and Halt Regulatory Oversight
U.S. CFTC acting chair Caroline Pham announced on Tuesday that the agency has restructured its enforcement division to "refocus" on fraud and "stop regulating through enforcement."

The new restructuring reduces the number of working groups to just two.
The newly formed complex fraud working group will handle enforcement actions for complex fraud and manipulation across all asset classes, from preliminary investigations to litigation. Enforcement division deputy director Paul Hayeck will serve as the acting head of the complex fraud working group. The retail fraud and general enforcement working group will handle retail fraud and general enforcement work, led by the agency's enforcement division deputy director Charles Marvine.

Peter Thiel-Backed Bullish Plans IPO This Year, in Talks with Jefferies Group for Potential Listing
Insiders reveal that cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish Global is considering an IPO as early as this year, with billionaire Peter Thiel among its backers. The company is collaborating with Jefferies Financial Group Inc. on potential listing matters.
Insiders added that discussions are ongoing, and IPO details may change, with more banks potentially joining the lineup. Bullish's website shows that the company is led by CEO Tom Farley and has over 275 employees, with offices in the U.S., Hong Kong, Singapore, Gibraltar, and the Cayman Islands. The company acquired media outlet CoinDesk from Digital Currency Group in 2023, with the acquisition amount undisclosed.
According to an earlier statement, Bullish is a subsidiary of blockchain software company Block.one, with supporters including Thiel, Alan Howard, Louis Bacon, and Richard Li. Brendan Blumer, co-founder and CEO of Block.one, also serves as chairman of Bullish, which was established in 2021 with approximately $10 billion in digital assets and cash injected into Bullish.

Coinbase Sends Letter to U.S. Regulators Requesting Clarity on Banking Services for Crypto Industry
Coinbase is urging U.S. regulators to confirm that banks can freely provide services to cryptocurrency businesses. Today, Coinbase sent a letter to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) requesting a clarity report on the status of banking services for the crypto industry.
Providing services to the crypto industry has been a contentious issue for U.S. banks. Under current federal law, banks are authorized to provide crypto services and collaborate with third-party service providers like Coinbase. While banks like BNY Mellon have been offering crypto custody services, some reports indicate that the FDIC has approached several U.S. banks, asking them to pause crypto-related activities. In June 2024, Coinbase filed a lawsuit against the SEC and FDIC, accusing these agencies of "colluding to isolate crypto asset companies from basic banking services."
Publicly traded Bitcoin mining company Bitdeer has invested $21.7 million to complete the acquisition of a fully permitted power project on 19 acres of land near Fox Creek, Alberta. This acquisition allows Bitdeer to build an on-site natural gas power plant and gain approval for a 99 MW grid interconnection with the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO).
Bitdeer expects to collaborate with an engineering and construction company to power the plant in the fourth quarter of 2026. At the same time, the company plans to develop a 99 MW data center specifically for Bitcoin mining at the site.
Bitdeer describes this move as a key step in becoming the industry's first fully integrated Bitcoin mining company, controlling its proprietary ASIC chips, data center infrastructure, and power generation capabilities.
According to the company, site preparation and preliminary infrastructure development will begin in the second quarter of 2025, with full power expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

She also mentioned: "We will work with the federal government, state securities regulators, and international counterparts, and we invite builders, enthusiasts, and skeptics to explore what the final rules should be and what temporary measures might help promote innovation during this period."
