loss

The perpetual contract protocol Drift (now Velocity) Foundation has opened claims and redemptions for the security incident on April 1. Affected users can claim newly issued compensation tokens DFX at a rate of 1 DFX for every $1 of verified loss. DFX is a Solana standard SPL asset, with a fixed total supply of approximately 299.5 million tokens, corresponding to about $295.4 million in verified losses, and no further issuance will occur.Users can destroy DFX on the official portal and redeem it for USDT at the redemption price, or trade it on secondary markets like Raydium. The redemption price is determined by the balance of the recovery pool divided by the number of DFX tokens that have not yet been destroyed. Currently, there are about 3.11 million USDT in the pool, with a redemption price of approximately $0.0104, allowing for about $1 back for every $100 lost, covering about 1% of the losses, which has caused dissatisfaction in the community, believing there is a significant gap from the expected full compensation.The plan also includes a maximum support commitment of $127.5 million from Tether, up to $20 million from partners, as well as subsequent sources such as transaction fee sharing from the new trading platform Velocity and the recovery of stolen funds, most of which are upper limits or installment arrangements, and were not included in the pool on the opening day. After the DFX launch, the redemption price remains around $0.0104, while the secondary market trading price has risen from about $0.01 to approximately $0.03, with a 24-hour increase of about 210%, and liquidity at that time was around $200,000. The tokens can be freely transferred, and the trading price does not have to equal the redemption price; buyers are mainly concerned with subsequent funding, protocol revenue, recovered funds, as well as the impact of early redemptions and the destruction of unclaimed portions after the window closes on January 1, 2028.

In today's community live broadcast, Bitget CEO Gracy responded to recent security incidents and the platform's financial status. She candidly stated that this is the first security incident encountered since Bitget was established 8 years ago. After a complete trace, it was found that hackers exploited vulnerabilities in third-party security products to steal internal network access credentials, forged withdrawal commands to the wallet system, and deceived the wallet into executing abnormal transfers that bypassed risk checks. Gracy emphasized that no private keys were leaked, and cold wallets were unaffected; specific technical details will be disclosed in the formally released security report.Gracy pointed out that the verified losses from this incident are within the coverage of the protection fund, and user funds are not affected. The platform's own funds exceed $1.4 billion, which includes approximately $464 million in the user protection fund. The platform will continue to uphold the security commitments made when the protection fund was established in 2022, planning to replenish the fund to the baseline of $300 million within a week."The protection fund is not just a slogan, but an important mechanism that provides tangible security for users in the event of extreme security incidents," Gracy stated. In the face of sudden security challenges, the platform's comprehensive strength and its ability to take responsibility are important criteria for measuring its risk response capability and long-term credibility. Bitget will continue to uphold its long-term commitment to prioritize user interests.

According to Cointelegraph, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the United States has stipulated that for transactions in 2025, brokers generally need to report the sales income from digital assets, but in most cases, they do not need to report the cost basis, and taxpayers still need to calculate their gains and losses themselves; starting from 2026, brokers will need to report the cost basis for eligible digital assets. The IRS also emphasized that even if a taxpayer does not receive a 1099-DA, they still must report income and gains and losses related to digital assets.During the first tax season applying the 1099-DA reporting rules for cryptocurrency assets in the United States, some investors are facing issues such as missing transaction data and difficulties in verifying cost basis. A survey conducted by Awaken Tax in August among 1,000 U.S. cryptocurrency investors showed that 21% of respondents who have filed or plan to file for an extension are still waiting for exchanges or cryptocurrency platforms to provide the necessary information; about 20% indicated that their 1099-DA form information is incomplete or are unsure whether it accurately reflects their trading situation.
