ZachXBT: Ripple Co-Founder's $150 Million XRP Stolen in Hack Due to Password Manager Breach

On March 7th, as disclosed by on-chain sleuth ZachXBT in his channel, a civil forfeiture lawsuit filed by U.S. law enforcement the previous day revealed the reason behind the $150 million (283 million XRP) theft that Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen encountered in January 2024. The incident originated from Larsen storing the private key in the LastPass password manager, which had a data breach in 2022. The documents indicate that once a victim enters the cryptocurrency wallet's private key into an online password manager, the physical record of the private key is immediately destroyed. This password manager suffered two significant data breaches in August and November 2022, during which attackers stole encrypted passwords and vault data. An FBI investigation determined that this stolen data was used to illegally access the electronic accounts of multiple victims and steal information, cryptocurrency, and other data.

Insider: Ripple Executive Once Lobbied Trump to Include SOL in Crypto Reserve Plan to Provide Cover for XRP

Analysis: XRP, ADA, and SOL Could Be Trump Cards to Ensure Bitcoin and Ethereum Strategic Reserves

On March 4th, as per Coindesk, "Asked for 1000, finally settled for 500." This constitutes a classic tactic in real estate negotiation. It involves starting with an extremely high asking price to gain an upper hand over the negotiating party and eventually reaching a deal at a lower price, which was the intended target. Former real estate tycoon and current U.S. President Trump appears to be employing a similar strategy to ensure the realization of his promised strategic cryptocurrency reserve, which includes Bitcoin and potentially Ethereum. Some observers think that bringing up alternative coins seems to be an extreme asking price approach aimed at overpowering the opposition (Congress) and creating leverage during discussions about the strategic cryptocurrency reserve. Eilan Sollet, the Senior Global Market Strategist at Marex Solutions, stated that "This statement may just be Trump's typical negotiation strategy. By advocating for the establishment of a strategic reserve includin

Opinion: Trump is biased towards certain tokens, but will expedite ETF approval for altcoins like SOL, XRP

Matrixport: XRP RSI Indicator Shows Rebound Signal, SEC Regulatory Uncertainty Lingers

On February 18th, Matrixport presented a daily chart analysis indicating that recently, the trend of XRP-USDT has transitioned from a long-term consolidation phase to a rapid uptrend, thereby enhancing the complexity of market chart analysis.
