TechFlow’s latest market roundup highlighted a sharp repricing of risk across crypto and technology markets. In the most notable crypto incident, BonkDAO suffered a malicious governance attack that drained roughly 4.426 trillion BONK, with estimated losses of about $20 million.

BonkDAO has since contacted exchanges, cross-chain bridges, the Solana Foundation, and law enforcement to track the stolen assets.
