Bitget launches the "TradFi 100 Questions for Popular Science" long-term investor education program, breaking down the traditional financial knowledge system into 100 core questions, covering six major modules: financial basics, asset encyclopedia, market mechanisms, macroeconomics, risk management, and the evolution of multi-asset trading.The course uses structured content and weekly updated educational materials as a medium, focusing on analyzing the driving logic behind stocks, commodities, interest rates, and capital flows, helping traders establish an investment framework across asset classes.Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that as the connections between financial markets deepen, crypto investors need to pay attention to factors such as interest rates, inflation, stocks, commodities, and global liquidity.The "TradFi 100 Questions for Popular Science" aims to lower the understanding threshold of traditional financial knowledge, helping users adapt to a multi-asset investment environment where traditional assets and digital assets converge.

Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi released the latest update on the theft incident, stating that the team has completed the final balance snapshot of affected users' assets. Previously, multiple snapshots were continuously recorded during the incident response as a basis for subsequent asset recovery and verification.SecondFi stated that the engineering and security teams are advancing the asset recovery plan, with the expectation that asset returns could begin in about two weeks. One week will be used to reach a feasible technical solution, and one week will be used for testing and review, with specific timing potentially adjusted as progress is made. The platform will resume operations only after passing a comprehensive security review. Currently, users only need to submit support requests through the official website ticketing system, with no additional actions required.

Cardano wallet service provider SecondFi stated that it has identified the root cause of the recent security incident and has deployed patches for the unaffected wallets, and will soon resume normal operations. SecondFi disclosed that there were a total of 4 incidents of funds being transferred out, of which 3 were carried out by external attackers, resulting in approximately 16 million ADA being transferred from 374 addresses. To reduce further losses during the ongoing attacks, SecondFi initiated an emergency transfer, moving approximately 129 million ADA to an independent third-party custodian for safekeeping, and has hired an external accounting firm for a special audit to facilitate subsequent verification and return assets to the affected addresses. SecondFi advises affected users to submit claims through the official support page and currently not to import their mnemonic phrases into other Cardano wallets, as the security risk occurs at the address and signature level.

Regarding the recent security incident of the Cardano ecosystem project SecondFi, Slow Mist founder Yu Xian stated: "I am actually quite unfamiliar with the Cardano ecosystem. I observed for a whole night, but if the addresses starting with addr1q are both hacker addresses (which they should be based on behavior), the losses for SecondFi users should exceed 20 million dollars (over 129 million ADA and other tokens stolen)."Previously, it was reported that SecondFi disclosed that the security incident affected approximately 16 million ADA, with the issue originating from the web wallet generation software.

According to Cryptopolitan, the decentralized lending protocol Goldfinch, supported by a16z, announced it will gradually shut down. Last Friday, an anonymous investor, Edward Morra, publicly accused the protocol of mismanagement, leading to over $50 million in user fund losses, stating that borrower defaults and failed loan restructurings made it nearly impossible for depositors to recover their funds. Just a day after the post was published, the project announced it would enter a gradual shutdown phase.The protocol's native token GFI fell from a peak of $32.94 in January 2022 to below $0.07, a decline of 99.8%, with its market capitalization dropping from over $390 million to less than $6 million. Goldfinch was founded in 2021 by former Coinbase employees, aiming to connect crypto capital with credit enterprises overlooked by traditional banks, with a16z leading its $25 million financing in January 2022. Problems began to emerge months after the funding: the Kenyan motorcycle financing company Tugende Kenya defaulted, two underlying positions in the $2 billion loan from the U.S. credit fund Stratos nearly went to zero, and the Singapore borrower Lend East could only repay 58% of the principal. As the loan portfolio deteriorated, the protocol turned to institutional credit funds but ultimately could not turn the situation around.

According to Protos, the decentralized lending protocol Goldfinch, led by a16z and aimed at serving the unbanked population in Africa, is in crisis.On-chain data shows that among the 8 borrowers in the project, 2 have officially defaulted, and 6 have entered debt restructuring, with total losses exceeding $18 million. Depositors are lamenting that "the $50 million has gone down the drain." Its native token GFI has fallen from a peak of $32.94 in January 2022 to below $0.07, a decline of 99.8%, and the project's market value has shrunk from a peak of $390 million to less than $6 million.Goldfinch had previously lent over $100 million to borrowers in 18 countries, including motorcycle rental companies in Kenya and salary advance platforms in Nigeria, but the core issue lies in the severe lack of off-chain credit verification, with borrowers frequently misappropriating funds and refusing to repay. As the default rate rises, the project has quietly abandoned its positioning in emerging markets in Africa, shifting towards institutional credit funds like Ares and Apollo, rendering its original vision of inclusive finance a mere facade.
