Currently, the ownership of the involved wallet cannot be confirmed, and the identity of the code author is also difficult to ascertain.Slow Mist's Yu Xian stated that, after preliminary investigation, in an environment using the Cursor and Claude 3.7 models, the AI auto-completed address did not match the involved malicious address, ruling out the possibility of AI code generation being the cause of the wrongdoing. The malicious address had owner permissions of the smart contract, resulting in the complete transfer of funds from the project party.

ChainCatcher news, according to CryptoSlate, the Nigerian digital asset trading platform CBEX has been exposed as a Ponzi scheme, causing significant financial losses for many investors. Although local media initially reported losses as high as 1.3 trillion naira (approximately 800 million USD), analysis indicates that the address is actually a Binance hot wallet, and the real loss amount may be closer to 12 million USD.CBEX claims to be the "China Beijing Equity Exchange," but it has no connection to the officially named institution in China. The platform, under the guise of AI quantitative strategies, promises to double returns in 30 days, attracting a large number of investors and requiring them to recruit others for commissions, essentially operating as a typical Ponzi structure. The project was even promoted in Nigerian national media as a "poverty alleviation program," further misleading users.By April 2025, CBEX suddenly froze accounts, preventing users from withdrawing funds, which sparked public outrage. Some investors besieged its offices in Ibadan and Lagos, and many victims shared their loss experiences on social media.Independent analyst Specter pointed out that CBEX is linked to other similar scams, LWEX and PCEX, suspected of sharing website architecture and funding flow patterns. The related wallets are also connected to the Southeast Asian payment system Huione Pay, which has been listed by Elliptic as one of the main hubs for money laundering and telecom fraud, involving over 24 billion USD in suspicious transactions.

ChainCatcher news, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in his latest blog post: "I firmly believe that we are still in a bull market cycle, therefore, the worst bottom will be the historical high of the previous cycle at $70,000. I'm not sure if we will drop that low. A positive signal for dollar liquidity is that the U.S. Treasury General Account is declining, which acts as a liquidity injection.If this round of increase is just a 'dead cat bounce,' I expect Bitcoin to fall back to around $80,000, giving us another entry opportunity. If the S&P 500 index or the Nasdaq 100 index drops 20% to 30% from their historical highs, coupled with a major financial institution on the brink of bankruptcy, we may experience a synchronized adjustment in the global markets. At that time, all risk assets will be sold off together, and Bitcoin may fall below $80,000 again, or even retrace to $70,000.Regardless of how the market changes, we will cautiously buy on dips, avoid leverage, and patiently wait for the final violent fluctuations in the fiat financial markets. As the global economy recovers under the leadership of the U.S., Bitcoin is expected to break through $1,000,000 or even higher."
