Distribution is the new fundraising. When the people who use your product want to invest in it — you’re doing something right. Also… saying no to the wrong money is the real flex. 👀

$285 million drained from Drift Protocol on April 1. The attacker didn't find a bug in the code. They compromised a single admin key and that one key had the power to rewrite risk parameters, manipulate oracles, disable circuit breakers, and drain every vault at once. Passed

Web3's biggest marketing problem in 2026 isn't budget. It's narrative. 12+ projects shut down in Q1 — MilkyWay, Nifty Gateway, Magic Eden Wallet, Bloktopia. Not because the tech failed. Because nobody could explain why it mattered. This week I'm writing about what actually

everyone's excited about AI agents running DeFi. "5% of capital managed autonomously by year-end" sounds modest. at current TVL? that's $5B+ moved by bots with no kill switch. here's what nobody's saying out loud: these agents trained on the same data. same signals. same

I remember when people laughed at Polymarket. "It's just a betting site for crypto degenerates." That was 2023. Volume was $57M for the entire year. Then it called the US election before every polling firm on the planet did. Suddenly nobody was laughing. ICE — the company

everyone's optimising for speed with AI and honestly fair enough. but the people i find most interesting rn are the ones using it to think slower - stress testing ideas, poking holes, finding what doesn't hold up. different use case. way underrated.

the best part of Paris wasn’t just the croissants It was this conversation

The hack usually isn’t what kills a protocol. It’s the weird stretch of silence right after. Give it ~12–14 hours and people will come up with their own story. And that story tends to stick. Watching this April, the teams that hold up aren’t the ones that avoided getting hit.

“Mainstream crypto adoption isn’t being driven by decentralization — it’s being driven by banks and regulators.”—Kamal Youssefi At Paris Blockchain Week🇫🇷, our CMO Shyla | Yellow from Yellow sat down with the President of The Hashgraph Association to discuss regulatory clarity and the shift from

everyone wrote off $XRP during the SEC drama. ETF live. legal case closed. banking charter in progress. the boring infrastructure plays always look obvious in hindsight. $XRP is starting to look less like a crypto bet and more like a financial rails play.

From DeFi lawsuits to AI-assisted hacks… A $320M clash involving Justin Sun, a $292M exploit shows AI-driven hacking, Tether freezes $344M worth of $USDT, and $RAVE collapses after insider control is exposed Full weekly roundup via Shyla | Yellow👇🏻

prediction markets are only as reliable as their data sources. the Polymarket guy figured that out before the protocol did. $34k and a hairdryer later - Polymarket switched sensors. sometimes the best audit is a motivated stranger.

someone borrowed $190M on ethereum:0x7fc66500c84a76ad7e9c93437bfc5ac33e2ddae9 using collateral that didn’t exist. DeFi rates went from 3% to 13% in a weekend. no regulator needed the market figured it out itself. wild times.
