  Well, Strategy bought another 34,164 Bitcoin for about $2.5 billion between April 13th and April 19th at an average price of $74,395 per coin, bringing its total holdings to over 815,000 Bitcoin worth roughly $61 billion. The position is currently about $400 million underwater, even though it now controls more than 4% of Bitcoin's eventual 21 million supply. The latest buys were funded through sales of MSTR common stock and STRC perpetual preferred stock, with Strategy still having tens of billions left available. Well, Layer Zero said North Korea's Lazarus Group, specifically the Trader Trader Cluster, is likely behind the April 18th Kelp Dow exploit that drained roughly $292 million

  after attackers allegedly compromised nodes used by Layer Zero Labs decentralized verifier network poisoned two nodes and pushed through a fake cross-chain message. Layer Zero calculated a single point of failure and said it had previously warned Kelp Dow to diversify verifiers. It also said there is zero contagion to other apps and that going forward it will not sign messages for projects still using a single configuration. The broader DeFi sector also took a hit with multiple protocols pausing Layer Zero OFT bridges out of caution and total value locked fell 7% over 24 hours. Well, Singapore-based crypto custody firm Kobo has launched Kobo Agentic Wallet, a new wallet designed to let AI agents carry out on-chain tasks across more than 80 blockchains.

• 3:59Speaker 00

  The main pitch is that instead of giving AI agents open-ended wallet access, Kobo uses a human agent authorization model in a system called PACT, which creates task-specific execution boundaries and stop conditions that are enforced at the infrastructure level. The wallet also uses multi-party computation, which Kobo says means a compromised agent hallucinating large language model or leaked credentials alone cannot produce a valid signature. While eth.limo said its brief domain hijack on April 17th and April 18th was caused by a social engineering attack against Registrar Easy DNS, which publicly took responsibility and said it was the first successful social engineering breach against a customer in the company's 28-year history. The attacker reportedly impersonated a team member, tricked Easy DNS into initiating account

  recovery, and changed the domain's name servers twice before access was restored later that morning, creating a window where the ENS2 web gateway for roughly 2 million domains could have been redirected to phishing infrastructure. What appears to have prevented real damage was DNSSEC, which rejected the malicious name server responses because the attacker did not have the proper signing keys, so resolvers returned errors instead of bad data. And the team said it was not aware of any user impact. The incident adds to a growing list of DNS-layer attacks on crypto front-ends in recent months. And finally, a California federal judge ruled that Caitlyn Jenner's Jenner token is not a security, rejecting the core federal claim in a class action brought by an investor who said he lost more than $40,000 after buying the token on Solana and then Ethereum in May 2024.

• 5:27Speaker 00

  The investor argued Jenner used her celebrity status and social media posts to hype the token and imply its price would rise, but the judge found the case failed under the Howey test and said he did not plausibly show a common enterprise because investors were not alleged to be pooling resources or agreeing to share profits and losses in a way that meets either horizontal or vertical commonality.
