On July 11, 2026, Hedera-based DeFi lending protocol Bonzo Lend suffered an oracle manipulation exploit, losing ~$9 million. The attacker deposited just 250 SAUCE (worth a few dollars), manipulated its price by 12 orders of magnitude via a Supra verifier flaw, and drained USDC and wrapped HBAR.
Security firm PeckShield flagged an alleged $5.25M exploit on Hedera, with funds bridged to Ethereum. No official confirmation yet; HBAR price fell 2.42% while volume surged 77%. Hedera had a previous exploit in March 2023 losing $600K.
The crypto market turned higher with total capitalization reaching $2.47 trillion. XLM, ALGO, DEXE, HBAR, and HYPE led gains, driven by institutional partnerships, relistings, product upgrades, and sharp volume expansion.
Global crypto market cap up 0.9% to $2.47T. BTC hits $70,833 (+2.48%), ETH stays at $2,096. Extreme Fear index at 14. WARD surges 37%, MemeCore drops 30%. Block lays off 1,100; Arthur Hayes loses $3.48M on DeFi exits.
A joint SEC-CFTC framework classifies SOL and 15 other major tokens as digital commodities, while clarifying that staking, mining, and certain airdrops are not securities offerings.
HBAR jumped to $0.1038 after FedEx joined Hedera's governance council, yet the Canary HBAR ETF has seen zero inflows since Feb, DeFi TVL sits at $39M, and technical resistance suggests a potential downtrend resumption.
BlockDAG hits 13 exchanges with its final fixed-price sale at $0.0000061, seen as a high-probability entry before market pricing. Meanwhile, XRP hovers near $1.35 and HBAR builds a base around $0.089.
A market roundup names Zero Knowledge Proof alongside Ethereum Classic, Monero and Hedera as notable crypto projects for 2026, with privacy, AI, PoW and enterprise use at the center.
