The XRP ecosystem experienced a chaotic 48 hours after ZachXBT tweeted “It appears @Ripple was hacked for ~213M XRP ($112.5M)”. Investors panicked, prices plunged in suspicion of an exploited Ripple vulnerability. But Ripple's Chairman later confirmed “unauthorized access” breaching crypto accounts under his control, sparking temporary fears of an exploit compromising Ripple itself. Still, critics questioned why official channels stayed silent initially as panic spread. Some also ponder ties between the Chairman's reserves and Ripple's broader interests.

While details remain undisclosed, the commission said it has deep concerns about "serious risks to personal data privacy" related to iris scans performed by the project. Regulators believe the organization may be illegally harvesting and handling sensitive biometric information - something that goes against privacy laws. Is this news going to impact the prices of WLD?

Remember Celsius? The collapsed crypto lender left in ruins last year is now making a comeback with a new business plan - and creditors are getting paid. This week, Celsius announced its emergence from bankruptcy along with plans to distribute billions in assets to customers. The exit deal also birthed a new Bitcoin mining startup forged from Celsius' remains. Going bankrupt, rising from ashes, paying off all creditors, and starting a new business - does it signal resilience? What’s the new business they are diving into?
