According to on-chain monitor EmberCN, a whale who held ETH for eight years completed a full liquidation of 37,598 ETH today (June 26, 2026), receiving 58.69 million USDS at an average exit price of $1,561. The Ether was originally received eight years ago at ~$829, yielding a profit of $27.53 million (+88%). The two-part sell-off marks one of the largest individual ETH disposals this year and could weigh on ETH's short-term price.

According to Arkham monitoring, 'Machi Big Brother' sold one of his 150 Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and used the proceeds to add margin to his Hyperliquid account. He has opened a $1.6 million ETH long position with $67,000 in margin, indicating a highly leveraged bullish bet on Ethereum. The move reflects a whale's strategic reallocation from NFT to derivatives trading.

AscendEX（原Bitmax）近日被曝出现大规模提现异常，用户资金长期处于'Initiating'状态且无链上哈希，疑似流动性枯竭。该平台曾在2021年被Lazarus黑客攻击，损失7800万美元，且长期缺乏储备证明和第三方审计。这一事件折射出中小加密交易所在监管趋严、行业集中化背景下的普遍生存困境。

据Onchain Lens监测，一只沉寂8个月的巨鲸地址突然开启20倍杠杆以太坊空单，当前持有12,832枚ETH（约1970万美元）。这一动向显示大额投资者对ETH短期走势持看空态度，引发市场关注。

In the past 40 days, hackers have stolen nearly $17 million by exploiting five abandoned but still-active smart contracts, known as 'zombie contracts'. These contracts retained funds, permissions, or callable entry points due to incomplete decommissioning, making them high-value targets. Affected projects include DxSale, TrustedVolumes, Huma Finance V1, Raydium Legacy AMM, and Aztec Connect, exposing critical lifecycle management failures in DeFi.

AscendEX (formerly Bitmax) is facing massive withdrawal failures—user funds stuck in 'Initiating' status with no on-chain hashes, signaling potential liquidity insolvency. The exchange suffered a $78 million Lazarus hack in 2021 and has long lacked proof-of-reserves or third-party audits. This event reflects the existential challenges facing small-to-mid-sized exchanges under tightening regulation and market centralization.

A whale address dormant for 8 months has suddenly resumed activity, opening a 20x leveraged short position on Ethereum, holding 12,832 ETH worth approximately $19.7 million, according to Onchain Lens. The move has drawn market attention, as high-leverage shorting by a whale may signal bearish sentiment in the short term.

Haedal, a capital efficiency protocol on Sui, has launched Haedal PropAMM, a proprietary market-making engine driven by quantitative strategies. It aims to capture on-chain volatility more flexibly and convert trade flow into protocol revenue. Running alongside its existing HMM product, PropAMM targets order flow from aggregators and entry points. Citing Jump Crypto data, Haedal noted that top PropAMMs on Solana processed $19.87 billion in SOL/USDC and SOL/USDT pairs alone in March, matching the combined volume of Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and Bybit. The PropAMM model now accounts for ~50% of Solana DEX volume and 40-50% of 0x Swap API volume on Base.
