Chainalysis posted on the X platform that before the theft of THORChain, wallets suspected to be associated with the attacker had been transferring funds through Monero, Hyperliquid, and THORChain for several weeks. The attacker-associated wallets had already deposited into Hyperliquid positions via the Hyperliquid and Monero privacy bridge as early as the end of April. The funds were then exchanged for USDC and transferred to Arbitrum, and later bridged to Ethereum, with some ETH subsequently transferred to THORChain to become staked RUNE for newly added nodes, which are believed to be the source of the attack.Afterward, the attacker bridged some RUNE back to Ethereum and split it into four pathways, one of which went directly to the attacker. After being transferred through intermediate wallets, 8 ETH was sent to the final wallet receiving the stolen funds 43 minutes before the attack. The funds from the other three pathways flowed in the opposite direction. These wallets bridged ETH back to Arbitrum, deposited it into Hyperliquid, and transferred it into Monero through the same privacy bridge, with the last transaction occurring less than 5 hours before the attack began.As of Friday afternoon, the stolen funds have not yet been used, but the attacker has demonstrated their skilled cross-chain money laundering capabilities, and the Hyperliquid to Monero path may become the next move.

According to Reuters, the Polish parliament has passed a cryptocurrency regulation bill to implement the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), with Poland required to complete the implementation of related rules by July. The legislative backdrop is the alleged large-scale fraud involving the Polish cryptocurrency exchange Zondacrypto. Polish prosecutors have launched a multi-million dollar fraud investigation, with expected user losses exceeding 350 million zlotys (approximately 95.93 million USD), and thousands of users are currently unable to withdraw their funds.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously stated that "Russian funds" and foreign political influence issues may be involved behind Zondacrypto. The exchange's founder Sylwester Suszek went missing in 2022, and the current head Przemyslaw Kral reportedly has gone to Israel. Polish President Karol Nawrocki had previously vetoed the related MiCA implementation bill twice, believing that the regulatory requirements were too burdensome and could lead to the loss of cryptocurrency businesses.

Forward Industries, a Solana treasury company, announced its quarterly financial report for the period ending March 31, 2026, showing a year-on-year revenue increase of 319% to $13 million. However, due to the decline in the fair value of crypto assets, net losses widened to $283.1 million.The company stated that the growth this quarter was mainly driven by increased staking rewards from Solana (SOL). However, during the same period, it recorded a digital asset loss of $201.7 million and an asset impairment of $85.1 million, primarily due to the price volatility of SOL leading to a decrease in the valuation of holdings.The financial report indicated that the company held approximately 7.04 million SOL during the quarter and earned about 201,200 SOL in rewards through staking, with nearly all SOL assets being staked. Solana fell approximately 33.7% during the reporting period, closing at $82.44. Price volatility is considered the core factor dragging down financial performance.Additionally, Forward Industries signed a loan agreement with Galaxy Digital in March and drew the first tranche of $40 million in financing, using fwdSOL as collateral, with a comprehensive annual interest rate of about 3.4%. The company stated that this financing is used to optimize its liquidity structure.Company management indicated that they have adjusted the balance sheet through cost reductions, debt instruments, and stock buybacks to cope with market volatility and enhance long-term value. Despite a significant widening of quarterly losses, the company's stock price slightly declined in after-hours trading following the financial report, but it still recorded a monthly increase recently.

According to Cointelegraph, Tezos ecosystem developers have launched a prototype of a private blockchain payment testnet called TzEL, aimed at resisting future quantum computing attacks.This prototype uses post-quantum cryptography and zk-STARK proofs to protect transaction data and encrypted payment metadata, preventing "collect then decrypt" type attacks. TzEL leverages Tezos's data availability layer to handle the larger proof sizes brought by post-quantum cryptography (approximately 300 KB), which has been one of the main technical obstacles to building scalable quantum-resistant privacy systems on-chain. TzEL is currently running on the Tezos testnet and is still in the development stage, with the transition of the Tezos ecosystem to quantum-resistant cryptography still in its early stages.
