👾 A user lost about $230K worth of NFTs

A user lost 49 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) due to a phishing attack. This was reported by a Solidity developer and auditor under the pseudonym 0xQuit on X.

According to him, the victim lost six NFTs from the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) collection, 40 from Beanz, and three NFTs from the Elementals collection.

The expert explained that the user lost his NFTs through a “signature” on a phishing site. He added that this allowed the attacker to create so-called “private sales” on the Blur marketplace. This allowed the tokens to be offered for sale for 1 WEI (the smallest unit in Ethereum).

However, the scammer set a feature in the contract that cancels any transaction if a token is attempted to be purchased by someone other than him, making the sale effectively private, and the buyer’s royalty is 100%.

[2] 🔔XRP approaching key milestones

According to RLinda’s technical analysis, XRP might see positive movement soon. XRP is getting closer to a potential major change, both technically and fundamentally. Positive signals could lead to a price increase, with the first target around $0.73.

The ongoing Ripple vs. SEC case is crucial for cryptocurrency regulation. A favorable outcome for Ripple could be very positive for the entire crypto community. 

The court ruled that Ripple violated federal securities laws with institutional sales of XRP but dismissed other SEC charges. Ripple opposes the SEC’s proposed $2B fine, suggesting a maximum penalty of $10M.

Ripple’s CEO expects a final verdict by the end of summer. 

XRP continues to test the wedge resistance, with lower volatility and ongoing consolidation. Buyers are holding the price above $0.4637, which could lead to another attempt to break the resistance. 

• Consolidation above $0.4962 could trigger a rally to $0.6265 – $0.73. 
• Support levels: $0.4637.
• Resistance levels: $0.4962, $0.5720.

^{*Any technical analysis, in the long run, cannot accurately predict the movement because now is a very tough market and the news can swing currencies in all directions.}
