With over 16,000 addresses creating new tokens daily and nearly 28,000 tokens launched every 24 hours, Pump. fun has become one of the most active platforms in cryptocurrency.

Arnold Haro held up a single bullet to his cellphone camera, loaded it into his Smith & Wesson and spun the chamber.

It was 3:28 p.m. on Feb. 21, and he was in his ranch home in an isolated corner of California. He seemed in distress, scratching his scalp, breathing heavily. “If I die, I hope you guys turn this into a meme coin,” he told his followers on X, where he was livestreaming.

About three hours later, his dying wish came true. A crypto token named after Haro’s social media handle skyrocketed to more than $2 million in total value, before crashing back to earth. It wasn’t an isolated event. A gold rush ensued, and dozens of other copycat coins sprang up, some branded with stills from the livestream, as the meme coin community tried to profit on Haro’s suicide.

The recent sell-off saw over 1,000 wallets on Hyperliquid get completely liquidated, while 6,300 wallets are now in the red, with 205 losing over $1 million each.

The sell-off, triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of additional tariffs on Chinese imports, erased over $1.23 billion in trader capital on Hyperliquid and $19 billion across the crypto market in a 24 hours.

Of that amount, an extraordinary $7 billion in liquidations took place within just one hour on Friday, representing one of the largest waves of forced selling ever recorded in the crypto market.

Leverage amplify profits as well as losses. Many thought their skill brought in the win and not their luck and circumstances.

Even if there is inside information; as crypto market is largely unregulated, there is nothing much could be done.

Ever since Trump take over for 2nd time, this shit happens very often. Last time only black swan kind of event like Covid and FTX crash can cause this kind of destruction.

Now the orange clown just need to announce some shit and booom, almost everyone got rekt except him and his close allies.

Perhaps most notably, in addition to the criminal charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Justice Department’s National Security Division also filed a civil forfeiture complaint against approximately 127,271 Bitcoin, currently worth approximately USD 15 billion, that are proceeds and instrumentalities of the defendant’s fraud and money laundering schemes, and were previously stored in 25 unhosted cryptocurrency wallets whose private keys the defendant had in his possession. Those funds are presently in the custody of the U.S. government. The complaint is the largest forfeiture action in the history of the Department of Justice.

No unhosted crypto wallet is safe from u.s. doj.

TrueCrypt used AES256 10 years ago, and even if you tried a quintillion keys a second it won't be broken even in a BILLION years.

Your best possibility is a future quantum computer running Glover's algorithm but that hasn't been invented yet.

But forget crypto wallet, if that was invented every transaction on the internet would be cracked.

Algorithms could reduce brute force by a few order of magnitude. this is how most encryption is cracked.

Few order is not enough, and anyway these algorithms do not exist. Other than Grover's algorithm, which is theoretical and requires quantum computers, nothing is known to crack AES256 yet.

u.s nsa don't disclose their algorithms and methods.

Paxos, the blockchain partner of PayPal, mistakenly minted $300 trillion worth of the online payment giant’s stablecoin on Wednesday in what the company called a “technical error.”

Market watchers had spotted the enormous injection of the PayPal PYUSD stablecoin on Etherscan — a block explorer and analytics platform for the Ethereum blockchain.

Paxos had mistakenly minted the stablecoins as part of an internal transfer, before it “immediately identified the error and burned the excess PYUSD,” the company said in a social media statement.

“This was an internal technical error. There is no security breach. Customer funds are safe. We have addressed the root cause,” it added. PayPal didn’t respond to an inquiry from CNBC outside of regular business hours.

Transactions on Etherscan showed that the mistake had been fixed after about 20 minutes.

PYUSD is advertised as a dollar-pegged stablecoin that is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. treasuries and similar cash equivalents. Therefore, PayPal says the tokens are always redeemable for U.S. dollars on a 1:1 basis.

However, the technical error highlights that the dollar peg is guaranteed by PayPal and its independent third-party attestation reports, rather than intrinsically tied to the minting of a stablecoin.

There aren’t enough dollars in global circulation to back $300 trillion PYUSD, which would theoretically require more than double the world’s estimated total GDP.

Paxos’ error comes at a time when stablecoins are becoming more mainstream as its adopted by an increasing number of banks and payment platforms.

PYUSD is currently the sixth-largest stablecoin in the world with a market capitalization of over $2.6 billion, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
