HashKey halts Binance transactions amid global challenges

Hong Kong-based crypto exchange HashKey has announced that it will stop accepting deposits and handling withdrawals to and from wallets linked to Binance.

Hashkey did not give specific details behind its decision, only stating that it was a “policy change.”

However, per the exchange’s statement, transactions involving crypto assets to verified and authenticated unhosted wallet addresses, known as whitelisted addresses, will continue unaffected.

This decision by HashKey adds to the challenges faced by Binance on a global scale. In February, the Nigerian government banned Binance due to concerns about currency speculation in the country.

Nigerian telecommunications companies were instructed to block access to the websites of these prominent crypto firms. In the process, one Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, was detained, while another is alleged to be hiding in Kenya.

During the ongoing Token 2049 in Dubai, Binance’s top executives, CEO Richard Teng and COO Noah Perlman, highlighted the woes facing the crypto exchange.

Teng addressed Gambaryan’s predicament, assuring that the company was actively engaging with the Nigerian government to resolve the matter.

He also emphasized Binance’s dedication to collaborating with global law enforcement agencies to combat financial crimes.

On his part, COO Perlman spoke about the hurdles posed by the monitoring agreement with U.S. regulators, which came as a result of Binance’s plea agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, after the exchange admitted guilt to money laundering charges brought against it and agreed to a $4.3 billion settlement to resolve the case.

Ex-Amazon engineer sentenced to 3 years in prison for $12m crypto hack 😱

A former Amazon software engineer Shakeeb Ahmed was sentenced to three years in prison for exploiting smart contracts.

The breaches in 2022 resulted in the theft of over $12 million in different cryptocurrencies. The trial was the first-ever sentencing for a cyberattack on smart contracts.

Ahmed admitted in December 2023 to manipulating smart contracts. By inserting fraudulent pricing data into the platforms’ contracts, the engineer generated approximately $12 million in unearned profits, which he subsequently withdrew as cryptocurrency.

While the prosecutors chose not to disclose one of the affected platforms, evidence in the indictment suggests it was Crema Finance. The other platform involved was Nirvana Finance, which ceased operations following the hack in July 2022.

Before the incident, Ahmed had led Amazon’s bug bounty program, where he identified and fixed security loopholes in its software. The prosecution, highlighting the novelty of this case involving smart contract hacking, had recommended a four-year prison term.

They acknowledged Ahmed’s cooperation and his restitution of the majority of the stolen funds but emphasized the need for his imprisonment to serve as a deterrent and underscore the gravity of his offenses.

On the other hand, Ahmed’s defense argued for probation instead of prison time, citing his compromised mental health during the time of the hacks and the fact that the stolen funds were largely untouched except for covering a relative’s medical expenses. Ahmed, originally from Saudi Arabia, had his legal team plea for leniency based on the following factors.

EU securities watchdog: 10 exchanges dominate 90% crypto trades ⭐️

The crypto market appears to be highly concentrated, as only 10 exchanges process around 90% of all trades, according to a recent study done by the European securities regulator.

A recent study conducted by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has unveiled a significant concentration within the crypto trading landscape, raising concerns about its potential implications for market stability. According to the study titled “Crypto assets: Market structures and EU relevance,” only 10 crypto exchanges handle approximately 90% of all trades, with Binance accounting “for almost half of global trading volumes.”

Collectively, Binance, UPbit, and OKX control over 60% of the market share, with Bybit experiencing a 380% increase in trading volume year-over-year, while Coinbase saw a 44% decline for the same period, the study shows. ESMA warns that such concentration carries potential risks, expressing significant concerns about the potential fallout of a major asset or exchange failure on the broader crypto ecosystem.

Anza Network aims to fix Solana congestion ⚡️

“The short version is: significant progress has been made to overcome the current congestion challenges, and we expect to begin releasing fixes next week,” the Solana-focused software development firm confirmed. “In collaboration with other core contributors, we have analyzed the root cause, and evaluated several potential changes.”

The latest development comes in the wake of Solana network congestion incidents, marking the second such occurrence within a 48-hour span that has led to transaction delays and failures for Solana users.

Anza, on Friday, April 5, blamed the cause of the congestion on a combination of QUIC implementation issues and the behavior of the Agave validator client. Anza engineers, along with other core contributors, are making concerted efforts to diagnose and rectify these bottlenecks.

The latest measures are part of a series of improvements that are expected to unfold over the coming months to boost Solana’s network efficiency.

The urgency of the issue was underscored by an alarming trend on April 4, when Solana experienced a failure rate of 75% for all non-vote transactions amid a surge in network activity, as per Dune Analytics. The spike was largely attributed to the growing interest in meme coins on the platform.

The high failure rate has sparked a debate within the Solana community, with many expressing dissatisfaction over the worsening service quality.

Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, a notable Solana proponent, offered a perspective suggesting that the issue of transaction failures was exacerbated by “bot spam,” rather than an inherent network instability affecting genuine user transactions.

Mumtaz’s claim sheds light on the challenges facing Solana, which have been exacerbated by the blockchain’s popularity, especially in the context of meme coin transactions.
