Slow Fog issued a security warning stating that Aurellion was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately 455,003 USDC (about $455,000).Analysis pointed out that the root of the vulnerability lies in the lack of effective protection in the initialize(address) function of the SafeOwnable Facet. Since the Diamond contract did not go through the initialize path when setting the owner, the _initialized version slot was not updated correctly, allowing the attacker to reinitialize the contract and override owner permissions.Subsequently, the attacker called diamondCut to inject a malicious Facet and transferred the USDC assets of authorized users through the malicious pullERC20 function, ultimately completing the theft of funds.

This week's CPI data will test the transmission of energy prices to inflation, and with Powell's term ending and Waller taking over, the Fed's June FOMC dot plot will be closely watched.In terms of crypto assets, Bitcoin broke through the $80,000 mark, reaching a peak of around $83,000, marking its first time above the 200-day moving average (for the first time in seven months), but this rise was clearly driven by leverage: open interest surged by $10 billion in one month, while spot trading volume hit a two-year low, indicating a typical short squeeze rather than a healthy breakout. Institutional funding remains supportive, with ETF net inflows of $623 million and trading platform reserves hitting a seven-year low, but short-term risks are high—RSI has entered the overbought zone, and if the squeeze ends without spot trading picking up, Bitcoin's price could quickly retreat.Altcoins have shifted towards personalized narratives, with tokenization and AI computing sectors performing prominently. Overall, in the crypto market, this round of rebound needs to be quickly validated as a true bull market starting point: currently driven mainly by the stock market and leverage resonance, if CPI rises or the Fed's leadership change brings uncertainty, whether Bitcoin can independently hold above $80,000 will become a key confirmation signal.

According to CoinDesk, billionaire hedge fund manager Ray Dalio stated that Bitcoin's lack of privacy protection, with transactions being monitorable and potentially controllable, is a primary reason why central banks are reluctant to hold Bitcoin. Dalio mentioned that about 1% of his portfolio is allocated to Bitcoin, but he believes that the transparent ledger characteristic of Bitcoin makes it difficult to serve as a reserve asset.Dalio also pointed out that Bitcoin has a 90-day correlation coefficient of 0.89 with the Nasdaq index, and about 79% of its price fluctuations can be explained by the performance of tech stocks, which undermines its function as an independent store of value. Furthermore, the market size of Bitcoin is still relatively small compared to gold and is more susceptible to influence; Dalio believes that gold still plays a more central role in the global system.
