On February 19, RWA tokenization platform OpenEden officially announced it has fully regained DNS control over its main domain and all subdomains, with website services now back to normal operation. Previously, the platform detected unauthorized modifications to DNS records at the domain level and immediately launched a security response and investigation process. After a joint investigation with security partners and infrastructure service providers, it was confirmed the incident did not involve smart contract risks, internal system breaches, or core application compromises. The platform’s reserve assets were also unaffected—all remain secure and can be independently verified via Chainlink’s proof-of-reserve mechanism to ensure transparency and auditability.

Since early February, exchange net flows have stayed positive, ranging from +391 BTC to +841 BTC over the past week. Today’s reading stands at +553 BTC, extending a two-week streak of positive inflows—this starkly cont

**February 19 Update** Senator Elizabeth Warren—a senior member of the Senate Banking Committee—has sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Benett and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell urging the administration not to use taxpayer dollars to bail out the cryptocurrency industry. In the letter, Warren warned any form of assistance would amount to “transferring wealth from American taxpayers to cryptocurrency billionaires”—a move she called not only “extremely unpopular” but also one that could directly benefit former President Donald Trump and his family’s crypto project, World Liberty Financial.

Warren also referenced the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s February 4 hearing, noting Benett h
