Bybit Updated: Total hacked funds of USD 1.4bn around 500k ETH. 68.57% remain traceable, 27.59% have gone dark, 3.84% have been frozen. Recently, we have observed that the mixer mainly used by the DPRK is Wasabi. After a certain amount of BTC was washed through Wasabi, a small portion of it entered CryptoMixer, Tornado Cash and Railgun. Then, multiple cross-chain and swap services were carried out through platforms such as Thorchain, eXch, Lombard, LiFi, Stargate, and SunSwap. Eventually, it entered OTC or P2P fiat currency exchange services. — link : Wu Blockchain News

Vitalik Buterin floats swapping Ethereum's EVM for RISC-V to boost scalability
Buterin argues his "radical" idea could be the most viable method for boosting the simplicity and efficiency of Ethereum's execution layer.
Tomasz K. Stańczak, Co-Executive Director at the Ethereum Foundation, said that they will free more of Vitalik’s time for research and exploration, rather than day‑to‑day coordination or crisis response. They are concentrating on Layer 1 scaling, support for Layer 2 scaling, and significant UX improvements (including interoperability) in the Pectra, Fusaka, and Glamsterdam upgrades, bring forward projects that currently look three to five years away. — link : Wu Blockchain News

QCP: Gold spiked to fresh all-time highs, buoyed by renewed trade war tensions and a weakening US dollar. With equities finishing last week in the red and extending an April drawdown, the narrative of BTC as a safe haven or inflation hedge is once again gaining traction. Should this dynamic hold, it could provide a fresh tailwind for institutional BTC allocation. Risk reversals across tenors have flattened out, diverging from the persistent near-dated put skew that has dominated for weeks. — link : Wu Blockchain News
