Trust Wallet has officially launched its compensation process for victims of a security incident involving its Chrome browser extension. The incident, caused by malicious code embedded in version 2.68 of the software, resulted in the theft of approximately $7 million in assets, including Bitcoin, ETH, and SOL. Trust Wallet CEO Eowyn Chen stated that the leaked Chrome Web Store API key allowed attackers to bypass internal release checks and release malicious updates. PeckShield monitoring shows that over $4 million of the stolen funds flowed to centralized exchanges such as ChangeNOW, FixedFloat, and KuCoin. Binance founder CZ confirmed on the X platform that Trust Wallet will cover the entire $7 million loss to ensure the safety of user funds. Affected users are required to submit an application form containing their wallet address, transaction hash, and other information through the official portal.

Flow officially announced on the X platform that on December 27, 2025, attackers exploited a vulnerability in the Flow execution layer to transfer approximately $3.9 million in assets before the network outage. The attack did not access users' existing balances, and all user deposits are safe. The approximately $3.9 million was primarily transferred out through bridges such as Celer, Debridge, Relay, and Stargate. The attacker's wallet has been identified and flagged, and their money laundering activities through Thorchain and Chainflip are being tracked in real time. The Flow Foundation has submitted freezing requests to Circle, Tether, and major exchanges. The network is currently shut down to cut off all exit paths, and the remediation plan is undergoing final verification. The target restart time is 4 to 6 hours, depending on the testnet verification results. FindLabs is releasing forensic data including transaction hashes and the attacker's Ethereum wallet address.

Knutson predicts that the total market capitalization of tokenized RWAs will grow to trillions of dollars over the next decade, but this growth depends on major issuers moving from pilot projects and sandboxes to actual commercial products.
