Hong Kong and Taiwan are ready to open their arms to crypto companies fleeing SEC repression, hackers are cracking 12-word seed phrases and GRU/FSB wallets, and ChatGPT has been introduced to robot dogs. What’s going on here? Nothing special, just a Friday night on the crypto market. Let’s take a closer look.
Theme of the day
Remember yesterday’s story about 114 scam memcoins? This was not the limit. On-chain analysts have managed to find a wallet that has been running 2-5 scam memcoins EVERY DAY for the last two years. The scammer turned out to be a KuCoin user and the exchange confirmed this information, but so far refused to freeze the funds on the account.
