On February 25, Holdstation—DeFAI’s smart wallet project—was hacked. The team issued an incident update confirming a total loss of 462,000 USDT.

On February 25, Tether (USDT)—the world’s largest stablecoin—saw its market cap drop 0.8% this month to $183.61 billion, extending January’s trend when it slipped ~1% from its all-time high of $186.84 billion. This marks the first consecutive monthly contraction since the 2022 TerraForm Labs collapse, a signal of tightening market liquidity. Analysts note stablecoins act as the crypto market’s “liquidity fuel”; supply contractions typically indicate net fund outflows. Against this backdrop, demand for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs remains muted, prompting market participants to take a cautious view on any rebound’s sustainability. On the price front, Bitcoin has struggled to build sustained momentum since bottoming near $60k on February 6. While it briefly popped above $70k, it’s now trading in the $65k range. Meanwhile, fellow major stablecoin USD Coin (USDC) has seen its market cap climb from a January low of $70 billion to ~$75 billion, but full-year growth has stalled. This signa

On February 25, Coinglass data shows that if Bitcoin drops below $63,000, the total liquidation strength of long positions across major centralized exchanges (CEXs) will hit $1.054 billion. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks above $67,000, the total liquidation strength of short positions on major CEXs will reach $686 million. BlockBeats Note: Liquidation charts do not display the exact number or value of contracts scheduled for liquidation. The bars on these charts represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to adjacent clusters — in other words, their "strength." Thus, the chart indicates the degree to which an asset’s price will be affected when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" signals that once the price hits that level, it will trigger a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.

Hong Kong to Launch New Digital Asset Platform in 2026, Integrate Tokenized Bonds into Core Financial Infrastructure Hong Kong will establish a new digital asset platform this year (2026) to support the issuance and settlement of tokenized bonds, with plans to expand to other digital asset categories over time, according to Financial Secretary Paul Chan’s 2026–27 Budget speech delivered on February 25. The platform will be developed by CMU OmniClear Holdings, a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), and will connect with other tokenization platforms in the region—strengthening Hong Kong’s status as a digital asset hub. Hong Kong has already completed multiple government tokenized bond issuances. Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui noted that the third batch of tokenized government bonds, totaling 10 billion Hong Kong dollars (roughly $1.28 billion USD), was issued in Q4 2025, with regular issuances to continue going forward.

On February 25th, Marc Zeller—founder of Aave ecosystem contributor ACI—published a public report disclosing that Aave Labs has secured roughly $86 million in cumulative capital backing since 2017, including proceeds from its 2017 ICO, venture capital (VC) funding, and direct grants from the Aave DAO. The founding team set aside 23% of LEND tokens during the 2017 ICO; those tokens later migrated to AAVE at a 100:1 ratio. Prior to receiving DAO funding, Labs held approximately $48.7 million in capital. Since then, it has secured ~$37.4 million in DAO grants and is now seeking an additional $51 million via the “Aave Will Win” proposal. The report raises critical questions about Labs’ past product performance, noting that six independent products launched alongside the core Aave protocol have either failed outright or failed to become profitable. For the real-world asset (RWA) project Horizon: while it once claimed to have exceeded $1 billion in scale, its actual RWA collateral t
