April 20 — The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) gateway eth.limo was briefly hijacked at its domain registrar Friday night, according to The Block. In a post-incident analysis report released Saturday, the project team attributed the breach to a social engineering attack. Per the post-incident report and a separate blog post by Mark Jeftovic, the attacker impersonated an eth.limo team member on April 17 at 7:07 p.m. Eastern Time to trick domain registrar EasyDNS into initiating an account recovery process. Timeline details: - 2:23 a.m. April 18: The attacker switched eth.limo’s domain servers to Cloudflare, triggering an automatic downtime alert that notified the eth.limo team. - 3:57 a.m.: Domain servers were switched back to Namecheap. - 7:49 a.m.: EasyDNS restored the team’s account access.

April 20th — Per HyperInsight monitoring (https://t.me/HyperInsight), the largest ETH whale at Matrixport added to their bullish positions in the past 3 hours. They opened a long position of ~44,000 ETH (total value: $101 million) at an average entry price of $2,289.

April 20th — On-chain data analyst Murphy noted that Bitcoin (BTC) has begun filling a gap, and this cycle features a "cursed" range in BTC’s on-chain structure: $72,000 to $80,000. This range has been quickly crossed during both the 24-year bull run and 26-year bear market, leaving incomplete on-chain reshuffling and a fracture in BTC’s on-chain structure. Amid recent price swings, BTC’s gap has narrowed to $78k–$80k, with nearly 200,000 BTC traded in the $76k–$77k range between April 17–18. Inflows at this level signal a gradual recovery in market confidence. A full reshuffling would evenly distribute holdings across price levels, accelerating the formation of a bottom structure. During recent volatility, the $63k–$68k accumulation zone held, and the upper gap was filled — inadvertently boosting the odds this range becomes the market bottom.
