Why Ethena’s Surging 17% Might Just Make You Say ‘Whoa’

Ethena, or ENA, if you prefer your acronyms with a side of confusion, shot up by 17.6% in the past week. That’s quite a feat, especially considering it took a nosedive of 10.45% in the last 24 hours. Clearly, it’s got the attitude of a teenager—up one day, sulking the next.

You Won’t Believe What Ethereum Survived in Its First 10 Years (Vitalik Spills the Beans!)

Now, as Ethereum celebrates its tenth spin around the sun, cofounder Vitalik Buterin—whose hairline refuses to abide by the rules of time, much like his network—was in a reflective mood. Uptime, he insists, isn’t something to brag about at parties (unlike a flawless Rubik’s Cube record or being able to recite Pi to 200 digits). Instead, it’s the bedrock of Ethereum’s grand plan. Why?

And surprise, surprise—XRP has practically quadrupled that pesky $1.09 high it hit in August 2021, and it’s zipping over 300% past the $0.72 of August 2024. Who’s counting? Certainly not XRP, that’s for sure!

CoinDCX Employee Unwittingly Enables $44M Crypto Hack

Now, Rahul, a fine young lad from Jharkhand (an area not famous for its penchant for criminal masterminds), had been happily employed at CoinDCX for over three years. He’d been promoted, given a nice fat salary, and things were looking peachy keen. But, much like a well-dressed man who insists on wearing slippers to the opera, he was about to make a small but catastrophic slip-up.
