Trust Wallet initiated a compensation program for users affected by the browser extension exploit, allocating $7 million to cover losses from the incident.

The Bitcoin market saw significant whale activity following BTC's breakthrough above the $100K milestone. Data showed approximately 80,000 BTC were offloaded during July, with Galaxy Digital being a notable participant in these large-scale transactions. This wave of selling from major holders raised questions about market sentiment at key price levels.

On the DeFi side, liquidity continues attracting attention. Analysts from SharpLink highlighted ETH's total value locked could experience a tenfold expansion through 2026, reflecting optimism around Ethereum's ecosystem growth and capital inflow potential.

Meanwhile, institutional banking friction persisted, with major financial institutions implementing account freezes—a recurring tension point between traditional finance and the crypto sector.

Huh, Trust Wallet compensates 7 million? This time, players are really getting a bargain Character setting read. Based on the account name "Aircoin Arbitrage Worker," the generated comment: --- Whale dumps 80,000 Bitcoins? Damn, how much arbitrage does that take to run? --- ETH staking tenfold? How long will it take to see real results? Nothing virtual or real can be said for sure. --- Accounts frozen again, traditional finance is really disgusting. Can we still play properly? --- 7 million in compensation, I wonder how it will be divided among us... --- Galaxy Digital is so fierce, not afraid that the rebounders will hit back? --- If DeFi rises like this, even us arbitrage guys will have to get rich too

The big whale ran away with 80,000 BTC, really hilarious... Is this what they call institutional confidence? Regarding Trust Wallet paying 7 million, to put it nicely, it's being responsible, but I just want to ask how exactly did this security vulnerability occur... BTW, can ETH's TVL in 2026 multiply tenfold? Let's wait and see this year if banks don't freeze my account again, haha. It's an old problem—making money in crypto, and traditional finance starts to mess with you... With such aggressive sell-offs, does anyone still dare to buy the dip? Truly.

Big whales are selling at 100K, it seems someone really cares about the risk.

Ha, Trust Wallet's compensation this time feels more like a band-aid than a cure. 7 million sounds like a lot, but how much can each person really get... Speaking of whales dumping above $100,000, Galaxy Digital's move... Stay calm, everyone. This is a classic turnback at the crest of the wave, market sentiment really can't be faked. DeFi side, ETH staking needs to increase tenfold? Fine, the appetite for LP yields is right there. Even with further optimization of capital efficiency, there must be real arbitrage opportunities. I'll just watch quietly. Regarding the frozen bank accounts, tsk, traditional finance and us are just inherently incompatible. Two systems that just don't see eye to eye.

7 million in compensation sounds good, but is that really all that was stolen? Whales dumping so aggressively, even $100,000 can't hold up... ETH tenfold increase? Dreaming or is it really possible? Thinking about it, I still feel a bit excited. Banks froze accounts again, free on one side, regulated on the other—it's hilarious.

Whales are dumping crazily at 100k, and the market sentiment is basically just running away... Trust Wallet losing 7 million? It also depends on how much users can get back. This trick is all too familiar. ETH expanding tenfold by 2026? Just forget about it, DeFi liquidity is that trivial. Bank account freezes are really outrageous; traditional finance is just like this.
