Harris officially wins Democratic presidential nomination

Odaily Planet Daily reported that US Vice President Kamala Harris officially won the Democratic presidential nomination, becoming the first black woman and Asian American to lead the presidential candidates of a major US political party.
The 59-year-old vice president is expected to formally accept the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this month. She is already the presumptive nominee; President Joe Biden endorsed her after ending his reelection campaign, and there are no other challengers on the ballot.
While the delegate vote was a formality, it brought to a close a tumultuous chapter in the 2024 presidential race and opened a new one – a showdown with Republican Donald Trump. (Sky News)

Ronin: About 4,000 ETH and 2 million USDC were withdrawn, and negotiations are underway with white hat hackers

Odaily Planet Daily News Ronin posted on the X platform that earlier today, a white hat informed Ronin of a possible vulnerability. After verifying the report, the Ronin bridge was suspended about 40 minutes after the first on-chain operation was discovered. The attacker withdrew about 4,000 ETH and 2 million USDC, worth about $12 million, which is the maximum amount of ETH and USDC that can be withdrawn from the bridge in a single transaction withdrawal. The bridge limit is an important guarantee for improving the security of large fund withdrawals and effectively prevents further damage caused by this vulnerability.
Ronin said that due to an issue introduced after the bridge upgrade was deployed through the governance process, the cross-chain bridge misunderstood the bridge operator voting threshold required to withdraw funds. Efforts are currently underway to find a solution to the root cause. The bridge update will be subject to a rigorous audit and then the bridge operator will vote on whether to deploy it. Negotiations are currently underway with these seemingly white hat hackers, who have responded in good faith. Regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, all user funds are safe, and any shortfall will be re-deposited when the bridge is opened. Post-mortem analysis results will be shared next week, which will introduce technical details and planned measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Ronin: White hat hackers have returned about $10 million in ETH, and USDC is expected to be returned later

Odaily Planet Daily News Ronin announced on the X platform that the white hat hacker has returned about $10 million in ETH, and USDC is expected to be returned later, thanks to the white hats vigilance and integrity. The bug bounty program will reward the white hat with a bounty of $500,000. The Ronin bridge will be audited before reopening, and will provide updates as the audit progresses.

Tim Walz has long advocated for womens reproductive rights, but has also shown conservative tendencies, defending agricultural interests and supporting gun rights. His hometown has consistently supported the Democratic Party in presidential elections, but neighboring Wisconsin and Michigan are considered key to determining this years election.

Tim Walz has not talked much about cryptocurrencies publicly, but during his tenure as governor, Minnesota enacted relevant legislation to strengthen cryptocurrency regulation. (TheBlock)

Matrixport: The market tends to attribute the Bitcoin crash to the unwinding of yen carry trades

Odaily Planet Daily News Matrixport released todays chart saying that the market tends to attribute the plunge in Bitcoin to the unwinding of yen carry trades. Many financial market participants who borrowed yen to invest in high-yield assets are now reversing the direction of their positions, and Bitcoin has become a victim of this process.

According to some traders, this is the main reason for the decline in Bitcoin prices.
