2. Hyper Liquid exchange faces significant outflows of USDC due to rumors of North Korean hackers, raising questions about its operational stability.
According to an article by anonymous observer Tay on X, HyperLiquid is a Layer 1 blockchain and decentralized perpetual futures exchange. Due to speculation that North Korean hackers are interacting with the platform, there has been a significant outflow of USDC stablecoins from the exchange. Tay is known for tracking the threats posed by North Korea to crypto protocols. According to a Dune-based tracker by Hashed Official, as of Monday at 10:00 UTC, a record $60 million in USDC has flowed out of the exchange. USDC is the second-largest stablecoin pegged to the US dollar globally and is used as collateral for HyperLiquid. The deposit bridge still holds $2.2 billion in USDC. Tay stated that while trading on HyperLiquid, addresses associated with hackers from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) have accumulated losses exceeding $700,000. These transactions suggest that hackers may be familiarizing themselves with the platform's internal operations to launch malicious attacks. "North Korea does not trade. North Korea tests," Tay said. CoinDesk reached out to HyperLiquid on X for comments on the USDC outflows and the potential threat from North Korea. Tay mentioned that they contacted the platform two weeks ago to offer assistance in addressing potential threats. In a message to the platform, Tay emphasized, "I really want to stress that among all North Korean threat organizations, these are the most sophisticated and rapidly evolving. They are very creative and persistent. They also exploit 0-day vulnerabilities (like the one Chrome patched today)." HyperLiquid is a leading on-chain perpetual contract exchange, accounting for over 50% of the total trading volume of on-chain perpetual contracts, with a trading volume of $8.6 billion in the past 24 hours. The platform launched its token HYPE on November 29, which has since surged over 600% to reach $286, with a market cap that once exceeded $10 billion. As of the time of writing, HYPE is the 22nd largest digital asset globally. -Original

9. Crypto market research firm Santiment points out that whales and large holders may buy at low prices during retail panic selling, potentially triggering a price rebound.
Crypto market research firm Santiment posted on social media that the crypto market further corrected this week, causing panic among retail investors. Particularly, Bitcoin and Ethereum faced significant panic selling from new traders who entered the market in the past 2-3 months. These new traders have not experienced medium-scale corrections before and are panicking in an unfamiliar foreign market environment. Historically, when retail investors start selling out of panic and emotion, whales and large holders typically seize the opportunity to buy more coins with less resistance, potentially triggering a price rebound. This rebound may not happen immediately, but market conditions are moving in the right direction. -Original

Over the weekend, several popular memecoins were added to many Chainlink services, allowing them to operate on other networks or as data stream services. In recent days, Shiba Inu (SHIB) and its ecosystem tokens Turbo (TURBO) and Apu (APU) adopted the Chainlink Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard, making them usable across 12 blockchains, allowing access beyond their initial issuance networks. On Sunday, tokens Simon's Cat (CAT), Coq Inu (COQ), Goat (GOAT), Hamster Kombat's HMSTR, and mog coin (MOG) joined the asset list on Chainlink's decentralized data streams. The Chainlink standard supports new assets for low-latency market data ↓CAT - @SimonsCatMeme COQ - @CoqInuAvax GOAT - @gospelofgoatse HMSTR - @hamster_kombat MOG - @MogCoinEth See more: pic.twitter.com/oz9q8o7hRF These streams use an oracle model, where market data remains available off-chain. Such data can then be cryptographically verified on-chain when needed. CCT is a cross-chain asset securely provided and protected by Chainlink. Locking and minting mechanisms allow tokens to transfer from Ethereum to other chains, while burning and minting mechanisms facilitate cross-chain transfers between all other networks. Providing tokens across various networks can enhance the visibility and distribution of tokens, helping to drive investment and usage among network users. Chainlink's LINK token rose on Monday, exceeding Bitcoin's (BTC) 2% decline in the past 24 hours. -Original
