Galaxy Research published a report stating it has detected a third suspected attack targeting addresses generated by Coldcard, with 207.7294 BTC siphoned away in this round. The total estimated amount of BTC stolen from Coldcard has now risen to 1367.05, valued at approximately $88.6 million, involving 4585 addresses.

According to on-chain analyst Yu Jin Monitoring, Trump Media (DJT), the publicly listed firm owned by former US President Donald Trump, appears to be preparing to reduce its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings again after a two-month hiatus. Approximately six hours ago, the company transferred 2,628 BTC to Crypto.com, valued at around $165 million. Moving tokens to a trading platform typically signals potential selling plans, though the transaction has not yet been confirmed as completed. Trump Media raised funds through stock and convertible bond offerings between July and August last year, then purchased 11,542 BTC at an average price of $118,529, with a total investment of roughly $1.368 billion. So far this year, the company has sold 7,281 BTC, cashing out about $545 million at an average price of $74,860, resulting in a realized loss of approximately $318 million. It currently holds 4,261 BTC worth around $268 million, with an unrealized loss of roughly $237 million. Based on the above figures, its cumulative loss on BTC investments stands at about $555 million.

Regarding the ongoing attacks targeting Coldcard wallets, with stolen Bitcoin (BTC) already exceeding $71 million, CZ stated in a post that under self-custody models, even if developers fix vulnerabilities, they cannot repair wallets generated prior to the fix. For users using isolated devices, developers also cannot directly contact or alert them. Until users take proactive measures, the relevant wallets may remain exposed to attack risks. CZ noted that while he supports self-custody, this also means security responsibility lies with the users themselves.

According to monitoring by Onchain Lens, the attack address cluster linked to the Coldcard random number generator vulnerability has received 1159.42 BTC from 870 compromised addresses, valued at approximately $72.71 million. The attacker recently transferred 0.06 BTC (worth around $3,780) to a new address, while the remaining 1159.35 BTC remains distributed across the original 8 attacker addresses, valued at roughly $72.70 million.

Local time on August 1, the U.S. State Department issued a broad security alert to American citizens in the Middle East, advising them to "consider leaving the area or prepare to evacuate quickly if the situation escalates". According to earlier reports, U.S. officials have disclosed that Washington is considering launching a new round of military strikes against Iran as early as this weekend. Meanwhile, Iran has stated it will further target countries that host U.S. military bases on their territory. The State Department once again reminded individuals in the Middle East to stay cautious and vigilant, and prepare for flight cancellations, temporary airspace closures and other travel disruptions. The notice also emphasized that American citizens planning to travel to the Middle East should carefully reconsider their travel plans. (CCTV News)

According to Israel’s Channel 12, an Israeli official stated: "Current tensions have reached a peak and are on the verge of erupting." Israeli assessments hold that U.S. President Donald Trump is "closer than ever to launching a major strike on Iran, though no final decision has been made." Israel has raised its alert level. The official said: "We estimate Trump has not yet decided on the scale of the strike, and it remains unclear whether he wants Israel to participate in the first phase of operations." He added that Trump views negotiations as "a waste of time" and is "angry, irritated, and frustrated." According to the official, the plan presented to Trump by the White House backs Israel’s assessment that large-scale, targeted strikes on energy facilities could destabilize the Iranian regime. The official noted: "Such a powerful strike could be completed in a timely manner and does not necessarily trigger an 'energy war' that would drive up global energy prices. Targets would be specific facilities that could have a significant impact on the Iranian people." It remains unclear whether Trump will opt for this plan or continue maintaining sanctions until the midterm elections. This is not a question of "whether to act" but "when to act". All signs indicate Trump appears to have no choice but to move forward in this direction. (Jinshi)
