š”QUICK TIP TO AVOID BEING ABUSED BY AIRDROPSš”
Exit from all airdrops that:
- Contain alot of $TON transactions.
- Change their toknomics.
- Has youtubers/influencers involvment in advertisement.
- Delaying dates (especially when the market is in bullish trend)
- Has plans to launch exchange.
A question that is being emphasized by influencers or in your own head you think that "Airdrops giveaways are free so why dont we just keep patience and keep farming?".
This is the trickiest yet easiest riddle to solve but people don't pay attention.
They just want you to keep playing their airdrops while they play with you by dropping $TON transactions, delaying dates till they gain enough popularity to make deals with bigger projects, companies and exchanges.
Only youtubers/influencers and the project's team benefit from this not you!
Take your time and think through before joining any airdrop.
Your time is precious as gold, do not give it away for free.

šØ Beware: The Truth About Tronkeeper Scams! šØ
Have you seen posts about claiming rewards on platforms like Tronkeeper? It might look tempting, but letās break it down and uncover the truth behind their claims.
What Theyāre Saying:
According to their post:
1ļøā£ Enter your USDT (TRC20) wallet and submit.
2ļøā£ Pay a fee to claim your rewards, supposedly to cover "blockchain transfer costs."
They claim these fees are necessary to maintain smooth transactions for "millions of users."
Sounds professional, right? š¤ But thereās a catch, and users have started exposing it!
What Users Are Exposing:
š¹ Fee Mismatch: They demand 5 TON as a "gas fee" for withdrawing your $200. But hereās the issueāTON and TRON are two completely different blockchains! They cannot use TON to cover gas fees on TRON. This technical inconsistency screams red flag.
š¹ Community Feedback:
āŖļøYou want me to pay 5 TON to withdraw $200? That makes no sense!
āŖļøIf itās legitimate, deduct the fee from my balance instead of asking for more money.
āŖļøAnything that requires paying money to receive money is pure scam behavior.
Why This is Dangerous
1ļøā£ No Guarantee of Payouts: Once you send your money, itās unlikely youāll ever see your rewards.
2ļøā£ Exploiting Trust: Scammers use technical jargon to confuse users into thinking itās a legitimate transaction.
3ļøā£ Loss of Funds: People spend time and effort accumulating these so-called rewards, only to be asked for fees they cannot recover.
How to Protect Yourself
šØ Do Your Research: Always verify the platformās credibility.
šØ Understand Blockchain Basics: TON and TRON are different; knowing this can help you spot inconsistencies.
šØ Avoid Upfront Payments: If you need to send money to receive money, itās likely a scam.
Final Thought:
These scammers rely on trust and confusion to exploit users. Stay informed, share this knowledge, and protect yourself from falling for their tricks! š”

Bitcoin and Crypto Markets Dip As North Korean Hacking Threat Triggers $112,000,000 in Outflows From Hyperliquid
At the tail end of the weekend, well-known blockchain security expert Taylor Monahan who works for crypto wallet MetaMask reported that several addresses linked to the DPRK were trading on Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetuals exchange with its own chain.
MonahanĀ saidĀ the North Koreans were likely testing out the network before considering it as a target for their next attack.
In its Discord channel, HyperliquidĀ disagreedĀ with Monahanās analysis and said that there was no threat from the DPRK.
āWe are aware of reports circulating regarding activity by supposed DPRK addresses. There has been no DPRK exploit ā or any exploit for that matter ā of Hyperliquid. All user funds are accounted for. Hyperliquid Labs takes opsec seriously. No vulnerabilities have been shared by any party.ā
However,Ā HYPE, Hyperliquidās native token, dropped nearly 20% while the exchange suffered nearly $113 million in stablecoin outflows, according to blockchain analytics platform Dune.
HYPE has since stabilized and is currently trading at $26.75 with a market cap of $9.1 billion, and itās correction is more or less in line with the rest of the crypto markets.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Treasury Departmentās Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)Ā saidĀ it was dismantling North Koreaās digital asset money laundering network byĀ sanctioning Chinese nationals Lu Huaying and Zhang Jian who used a front company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to launder illicit money and convert crypto funds for the DPRK.
Says Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith,
āAs the DPRK continues to use complex criminal schemes to fund its WMD and ballistic missile programsāincluding through the exploitation of digital assetsāTreasury remains focused on disrupting the networks that facilitate this flow of funds to the regime.ā

Treasury Department Disrupts North Korean Crypto Money Laundering Operation Using UAE-Based Shell Company
The U.S. Treasury Departmentās Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) says it is dismantling North Koreaās digital asset money laundering network by taking action against individuals and entities involved in the operation.
In a statement, the OFACĀ saysĀ it is sanctioning Chinese nationals Lu Huaying and Zhang Jian who worked for the network that used a front company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to launder illicit money and convert crypto funds for North Korea.
The OFAC says the Hermit Kingdom is using agents and proxies to access the international financial system and engage in illicit revenue generation schemes such as conducting fraudulent IT work and stealing digital assets.
The agency says representatives set up shell companies and manage bank accounts to move and disguise funds that will be used to finance North Koreaās unlawful weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballist1c missile programs.
Says Acting Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Bradley T. Smith,
āAs the DPRK continues to use complex criminal schemes to fund its WMD and ballist1c missile programsāincluding through the exploitation of digital assetsāTreasury remains focused on disrupting the networks that facilitate this flow of funds to the regime.ā
The OFAC says Lu cashed out crypto from North Koreaās revenue-generation projects into fiat on behalf of the OFAC-sanctioned Sim Hyon Sop, who leads the laundering network.
Zhang helped facilitate the exchange of fiat currency and served as a courier for Sim.
The OFAC is also sanctioning Green Alpine Trading, the UAE-based shell company used by the laundering network.

Crypto Platforms Suffered $2,200,000,000 in Losses From Hacks in 2024
Leading blockchain data analysis firm Chainalysis says hackers stole over $2 billion from crypto platforms this year.
Even more alarming, according to the Chainalysis report, stolen funds saw more than a 20% increase from 2023.
āCrypto hacking remains a persistent threat, with four years in the past decade individually seeing more than a billion dollars worth of crypto stolen (2018, 2021, 2022, and 2023). 2024 marks the fifth year to reach this troubling milestone, highlighting how, as crypto adoption and prices rise, so too does the amount that can be stolen.
In 2024, funds stolen increased by approximately 21.07% year-over-year (YoY) to $2.2 billion, and the number of individual hacking incidents increased from 282 in 2023 to 303 in 2024.ā
Curiously, however, Chainalysis notes that hacking has slowed dramatically in the second half of 2024.
āIn our mid-year crime update, we noted that cumulative value stolen between January 2024 and July 2024 had already reached $1.58 billion, approximately 84.4% higher than the value stolen over the same period in 2023ā¦
However, 2024ās upward trend slowed considerably after July, after which it remained relatively steady.ā
Despite the slowdown, Chainalysis also reveals a daunting fact: North Korean hackers stole more crypto in 2024 than ever before.
āIn 2023, North Korea-affiliated hackers stole approximately $660.50 million across 20 incidents; in 2024, this number increased to $1.34 billion stolen across 47 incidents ā a 102.88% increase in value stolen.

#CrudoProtocol RED FLAG
Hello everyone.
Today I was taking a look at my airdrops, investments and portfolios when I suddenly came across a message in the Crudo Protocol group saying that the token would no longer be launched until December 31st.
It was explained that more funds were needed to have larger partnerships with larger exchanges.
Now a poll was placed in a Crudo Protocol team chat for members to comment on the postponement of the token launch (a very suspicious vote) where of course, by a large majority people even understood and seemed almost happy. š
DO YOU KNOW THAT RED FLAG?
Then. I just said that it was to be expected because the pre-sale hadn't finished and that the mistake had been promising something that was as basic to understand as:
If they do not complete the pre-sales stages, they cannot fulfill the promise of the investment plan.
I have 20$ of crudo and I didn't care at all that the token came out later but to say that it was wrong to sell under promise of honor and that the launch would be until December 31st, it didn't matter what pre-sale stages or market conditions existed ...
I WAS BANNED.
And that's a big #REDFLAG
I feel sorry for anyone who put in thousands hoping to get a return this year honestly.
Besides, anyone who read this narrative about leaving under whatever conditions until December 31st was already suspicious, so I just invested 20$
Avoid projects by anonymous teams and if you see the history of the wallets that created the Token on the BNB network soon and you realize that something is not right.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY š¶
MEMBERS ARE BEING EXPULDED FROM GROUPS AND THE NARRATIVE OF SCAMMERS ACTING FOR US HAS ALREADY APPEARED. (Prints attached)

VELO's Rise and Fall - Is a Comeback Imminent or a Rug Pull Looming?"
Velodrome Finance (VELO) has recently garnered significant attention in the cryptocurrency market, particularly following its listing on Binance. This article delves into the current state of VELO, examines the factors influencing its price movements, analyzes its performance since the Binance listing, provides a price prediction, and assesses the potential risks associated with the token.
1. Current Status of VELO Cryptocurrency:
VELO is the native token of Velodrome Finance, a decentralized exchange (DEX) operating on the Optimism network. The platform has positioned itself as a major player in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, offering competitive swap rates and innovative liquidity solutions. As of December 17, 2024, VELO is trading at approximately $0.03126, with a market capitalization of around $231 million and a 24-hour trading volume of about $65.72 million.
2. Post-Binance Listing Performance:
VELO experienced a significant surge following its listing on Binance. On December 13, 2024, the token's price jumped by 170%, reaching a high of $0.39 shortly after the announcement. This listing increased the token's visibility and accessibility, contributing to heightened investor interest.
3. Analysis Since Binance Listing:
Despite the initial surge, VELO's price has exhibited volatility. After peaking at $0.42, the token has retraced to its current level of approximately $0.03126. This decline suggests that the initial excitement may have waned, leading to profit-taking and market corrections. Such patterns are common following major exchange listings, where an initial pump is often followed by a consolidation phase.
4. Price Prediction:
Predicting cryptocurrency prices involves considerable uncertainty due to market volatility and external factors. However, some analysts have identified bullish patterns for VELO. For instance, a cup and handle formation suggests a potential rise to $0.054, representing a 109% increase from current levels. This projection is contingent upon market conditions and investor sentiment remaining favorable.
5. Potential Risks and Rug Pull Concerns:
A rug pull is a type of exit scam where developers abandon a project after securing substantial investor funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens. While there have been discussions on platforms like Reddit labeling VELO as a scam token, it's important to note that Velodrome Finance has undergone audits, with no major or high-risk issues identified. However, some low-risk recommendations were made. Investors should exercise caution, conduct thorough research, and remain vigilant for any red flags indicating potential fraud.
Conclusion:
VELO's journey post-Binance listing has been marked by significant volatility. While the initial surge showcased strong market interest, the subsequent correction underscores the inherent risks in cryptocurrency investments. Potential investors should conduct comprehensive due diligence, remain aware of market dynamics, and consider the speculative nature of such assets before making investment decisions.

Ledger Wallet User Reports $1.5M in Losses, Crypto Community Links Incident to 2022 Phishing Attack
A crypto enthusiast recently took to social media platform X to report a devastating loss of 10 Bitcoin (BTC) and $1.5 million worth of NFTs. Despite taking precautions with their Ledger Nano S wallet, the crypto community linked the incident to a phishing attack from 2022.
The Incident: $1.5 Million and 10 BTC Gone
On December 13, 2024, the user, known as "Anchor Drops," revealed their losses on X. They stated:
"Hey @ledger, last night I lost 10 BTC and ~$1.5M of NFTs stored on my Ledger Nano S. The Ledger was purchased directly from you. The seed phrase was stored securely and never entered online. I have never signed any malicious transactions. Can you explain what happened?"
The user emphasized that their seed phrase was kept in a secure location and that the wallet had not been used for over two months. They were searching for answers and clarity regarding the unexpected breach.
Community Investigation: A 2022 Phishing Attack
In response to the post, several members of the crypto community speculated that the loss stemmed from a phishing attack dating back to February 2022. One user, KDean, commented:
"Sorry to hear that. Looks like the phish happened a few years ago and just woke up."
KDean provided evidence tying the compromised Ethereum address to a phishing transaction labeled "Fake_Phishing5443." This transaction, dated February 22, 2022, reportedly involved the theft of sensitive wallet data, including the victim's seed phrase.
How Did the Attack Unfold?
Crypto experts suggest the phishing attack likely captured the seed phrase at the time, granting the hacker access to the victimās funds across multiple blockchains. The hacker waited nearly three years before draining the wallet, a strategy often employed to evade suspicion.
With Bitcoin currently valued at $105,000, the stolen 10 BTC translates to $1,050,000. Combined with the $1.5 million in NFTs, the total losses amount to over $2.5 million.
Past Ledger Security Breaches
This incident highlights ongoing security challenges for Ledger. Earlier this year, the company faced another attack where approximately $600,000 was stolen. The January 2024 breach involved phishing via the Ledger Connect Kit software, reportedly orchestrated by a former employee.
In that case, malicious code redirected usersā funds to the hackerās wallet during interactions with decentralized applications (dApps). Ledger reimbursed affected users and implemented tighter security measures following the incident.
Lessons for Crypto Users
This case underscores the importance of vigilance when safeguarding digital assets. While hardware wallets like Ledger Nano S offer enhanced security, phishing attacks targeting seed phrases remain a significant threat. Users must remain cautious, avoid sharing sensitive information, and monitor their wallets for unusual activity.
Security in the crypto world is ever-evolving, and staying informed is key to protecting your assets.
