Trump Billionaire Supporter Andy Beal's Monet Bank Ventures into Crypto Lending Arena

2025.12.06 08:51:56

On December 6, The Information reported that Monet Bank—a Texas community bank owned by a billionaire political supporter of former U.S. President Donald Trump—has entered the cryptocurrency lending space, billing itself as a "digital asset-focused infrastructure bank." Founded in 1988 as Beal Savings Bank, the institution is led by Andy Beal, founder of Beal Financial Corp. Beal is known for his poker skills and was a major backer of Trump’s successful 2016 presidential campaign, having contributed to his political action committee (PAC). Per its website, Monet Bank aims to become a leading digital asset financial institution, offering innovative solutions for the digital economy. State records show its assets are under $6 billion, with capital just over $1 billion—placing it among very small community banks in size.

SlowMist: Drift's multi-signature mechanism was modified a week before the theft, followed by an admin key leak

**April 2nd: SlowMist’s Drift Hack Analysis** SlowMist’s breakdown of the Drift protocol hack shows that one week before the attack, Drift updated its multisig setup to a 2/5 threshold (1 existing signer + 4 new signers) and skipped implementing a timelock. The attacker exploited this gap to gain admin access, mint counterfeit CVT tokens, manipulate the oracle, disable security protocols, and siphon high-value assets from the liquidity pool. Stolen funds have since been consolidated into a single Ethereum address, holding roughly 105,969 ETH (valued at ~$226 million). SlowMist noted that tracking efforts for the funds are ongoing.

ZachXBT Calls Out Circle Again: Accuses It of 'Slow Response' in Drift Hack Incident

On April 2nd, on-chain sleuth ZachXBT accused Circle of failing to act promptly during the Drift attack. He noted that during U.S. trading hours, tens of millions of USDC were transferred from Solana to Ethereum via a cross-chain protocol—with no intervention for hours. He also stated the funds in question had been successfully transferred, adding Circle “once again took no action.” ZachXBT further pointed out Circle had previously mistakenly frozen over 16 business hot wallets, which are currently being gradually unfrozen. He called out Circle and its CEO Jeremy Allaire, saying their actions have negatively impacted the industry.
