Polymarket Confirms Recent User Account Breach Due to Third-Party Vulnerability

2025.12.24 16:11:57

December 24 Decentralized prediction market platform Polymarket confirmed on Wednesday that a recent security vulnerability tied to a third-party identity verification provider has impacted multiple users. Earlier this week, reports of compromised Polymarket accounts began popping up on Twitter and Reddit, with affected users sharing details of their losses on social media. Per user accounts on those platforms, the issue appears to have hit users who registered for Polymarket via Magic Labs— a service that lets users log in with their email and create non-custodial Ethereum wallets. Magic Labs is popular among crypto newcomers who don’t yet have digital asset wallets. On Tuesday, Polymarket addressed the issue in an official Discord post, saying: “We recently identified and fixed a security issue impacting a small number of users. This issue stemmed from a vulnerability introduced by a third-party identity verification provider.” However, the platform did not disclose how many users were affected, the total amount stolen, or the name of the third-party service involved. Polymarket added that the issue has been resolved and there is no remaining risk. (Source: The Block)

CryptoQuant: Bitcoin Could Rebound to $71,500 to $81,200 if Macro Risks Subside

On April 2, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant (per The Block) released a report noting Bitcoin’s spot demand remains in “deep contraction” despite ongoing institutional buying pressure. As of late March, apparent demand has fallen by roughly 63,000 BTC, signaling selling pressure still outpaces buying pressure. CryptoQuant emphasized: “Even as institutions accelerate buying, overall apparent demand keeps contracting—meaning retail and other market players’ selling has outstripped incremental institutional purchases.” This demand contraction has lasted since late November 2025, “confirming the broader market remains in a chip distribution phase.” Whales holding 1,000–10,000 BTC have shifted to net distributors, offloading roughly 188,000 BTC in the past year. Their 365-day moving average is still trending downward. “Historically, sustained negative accumulation by whales has aligned with long-term price weakness. The current reading shows selling remains a major structural headw

Meme Coin KOL Murad, holding for the past 9 months, is nearly $60 million in unrealized losses but has not sold, indicating continued faith in a rebound

**April 2 — According to Cointelegraph, popular meme coin influencer Murad has racked up nearly $60 million in unrealized losses trading meme coins over the past nine months. He remains optimistic about a rebound and hasn’t stopped out, however. Murad currently holds ~29.964 million SPX6900 (SPX) tokens, valued at ~$7.79 million — accounting for 96% of his total tracked investment portfolio (~$8.1 million). His portfolio peaked at ~$67 million in July 2023. As the meme coin sector has dropped more than 80% from its highs since then, his unrealized losses have grown to ~$60 million. Data shows no substantial sell-offs of his SPX6900 holdings or other major positions, with realized profit and loss (P&L) sitting at $0. On Wednesday, Murad tweeted that SPX6900’s market cap will surge from its current ~$250 million to $1 trillion — a nearly 400,000% jump. He noted Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency with a market cap exceeding $1 trillion. Technically, SPX6900 has broken down from a

The Trump administration is appealing a federal judge's block on the Anthropic ban.

The Trump administration will appeal a federal judge’s ruling blocking its ban on the government’s use of Anthropic technology on April 2. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a court notice Thursday indicating it will appeal last month’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin of the Northern District of California (San Francisco). Lin had previously halted the government’s plan to sever ties with Anthropic to preserve the status quo amid ongoing litigation, but she stayed the ruling for one week to allow the government to appeal. Earlier, Anthropic sued the Department of Defense (DoD), challenging the agency’s claim that its technology threatened the U.S. supply chain. In her March 26 ruling, Lin sided with Anthropic, deeming the government’s national security justification for the ban questionable. She characterized the move as more of a “punishment” for Anthropic, noting the company had sought assurances its technology would not be used to monitor Americans or deploye
