PANews, December 5—According to PeckShieldAlert, the stablecoin project USPD has suffered a major security breach, resulting in a loss of approximately $1 million. USPD's official team confirmed that the protocol was exploited, with the attacker minting tokens without authorization and draining liquidity. The team has urgently warned users to immediately revoke all token approvals for the USPD contract.
The USPD protocol has confirmed it was hit by a "CPIMP" attack. During the deployment phase, the attacker front-ran the initialization of the proxy via Multicall3, seized admin privileges, and disguised themselves as an audited implementation contract. The team stated that the issue was not a contract logic bug; the attacker concealed their access for several months before upgrading the proxy, minting about 98M USPD, and transferring around 232

Matrixport's latest report shows that the current crypto market is in a "position vacuum" state, with ETH and BTC positions falling to low levels. Analysts point out that the light position pattern may drive prices upward, and ETH futures open interest has increased significantly, but the market response remains conservative. The future performance of Ethereum needs to be observed.

Bitcoin continued to trade sideways near $92,000 on Friday, failing once again overnight to break through $93,000, which further solidified the recent consolidation range. The current market structure is still dominated by bears suppressing prices in the mid-$93,000 range and bulls providing support around $91,000, but neither side has enough momentum to establish a clear trend.
Looking at the past month, Bitcoin remains in a downward structure since the early November high, and the recent rebound has even formed a lower high, suggesting that the corrective trend remains unbroken. The weak momentum and rapid pullback after rebounds indicate that liquidity above $93,200 is still thin. If $91,000 is breached, key support lies in the $90,000–$90,500 range; to the upside, a breakout above $93,200 is needed to reverse the short-term downtrend.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a major event today—over $4 billion in options are set to expire, involving major assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple (XRP), and Solana (SOL). Traders generally expect another round of significant short-term volatility in the market, and before next week’s Federal Reserve FOMC interest rate decision, the total crypto market cap may fall below $3 trillion again.
In the past 24 hours, there have been $270 million in liquidations in the crypto market. Coupled with rising US Treasury yields, Japanese bonds, and gold prices, Bitcoin and major assets have come under downward pressure. Although BTC, ETH, XRP, and SOL saw a brief rebound during today’s session, the overall technical structure remains weak.

Danny / Meech (Danish Zulfiqar) is suspected to have been arrested by law enforcement, and his crypto assets valued at $18.58 million have been seized. He was involved in several major thefts and information leak incidents, resulting in losses exceeding $300 million. The related funds have been consolidated into a specific address.

After several consecutive months of decline, the pessimistic sentiment in the Bitcoin market may be approaching a turning point. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan stated in a recent discussion with investors that Bitcoin is currently at the bottom range of a six-month adjustment period, with "limited downside left," and that the current selling pressure may be nearing its end.
As of Thursday, the price of Bitcoin hovered around $92,000, down more than 25% from the highs above $120,000 reached in October. Despite the deep pullback, Bitwise still maintains its prediction that Bitcoin will break above $200,000 by the end of the year, though it acknowledges that its previous market expectations were "right in direction, but wrong in timing."

Odaily Planet Daily reports that 21Shares co-founder Ophelia Snyder stated that the current market downturn is almost unrelated to "any cryptocurrency-specific factors," but it is unlikely that Bitcoin will rise again at the beginning of next year. Snyder said that the current drivers of low volatility are unlikely to dissipate completely in the short term, and whether the market at the beginning of next year can repeat the performance seen this year will heavily depend on broader market sentiment. She explained that January usually sees "new inflows" into Bitcoin ETFs as investors rebalance and adjust their portfolios at the start of the year. After climbing to the current high of $125,100 on October 5, Bitcoin entered a downtrend, following a $19 billion crypto market liquidation event on October 10. According to CoinMarketCap data,
