CEO Ripple Brad Garlinghouse commented on the investment rating assigned by Kroll Bond Rating Agency (KBRA) to Ripple Prime's brokerage division. Clear validation of @Ripple Prime’s strength, reliability and tech with today’s investment grade issuer rating from Kroll. Momentum builds when markets recognize these things. https://t.co/WjGi14OuaZ— Brad Garlinghouse (@bgarlinghouse) April 2, 2026   According to him, the decision was a "clear validation of the platform's strength, reliability, and technology." In October 2025, Ripple completed the acquisition of non-bank prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and rebranded it as Ripple Prime. KBRA assigned the structure a BBB rating—the lowest tier of investment grade, indicating "average quality" creditworthiness with moderate risks. Agency analysts emphasized that Ripple Prime is in a phase of active growth, focusing on clearing and brokerage services in the derivatives and repo markets. They noted that the platform: is a registered broker-dealer and FCM in the United States; deals with exchange-traded derivatives and short-term government bonds, targeting institutional clients; rapidly increased its balance sheet and turned profitable in 2025. A significant factor in the rating was the support from the parent company: Ripple invested about $500 million following the announcement of the purchase of Hidden Road; the company plans further investments in the subsidiary, holding $5 billion in cash and "large reserves of XRP." However, KBRA pointed out several limitations, such as revenue concentration in a narrow segment of financial operations and weak business diversification. The agency's specialists also cited the close ties between Ripple and the crypto industry as a risk. This could negatively impact the company's profits, which may be "sensitive to price volatility and liquidity conditions, especially during a prolonged downturn in the digital asset market." XRP's value has dropped more than 28% since the beginning of the year. The token is trading near $1.3—almost 64% below its all-time high of $3.65, recorded in July 2025. The asset's market capitalization is approximately $81 billion. (CoinGecko). Earlier, Garlinghouse predicted "record results" for Ripple by the end of the first quarter.

Shiba Inu price has recorded a recent breakout as netflow flips positive.

The North Korean group Lazarus (TraderTraitor) has been identified as the perpetrators behind the $280 million breach of the DeFi protocol Drift, according to experts from Diverg, TRM Labs, and Elliptic. This same group previously targeted Bybit ($1.5 billion) and Ronin ($625 million). 1/10We've been investigating the @DriftProtocol exploit ($285M) since April 1.We can confirm along with TRM Labs and Elliptic that North Korea's Lazarus Group (TraderTraitor). Same unit behind Bybit ($1.5B), Ronin ($625M). Was involved.Here's what our independent on-chain…— Diverg (@DivergSec) April 3, 2026 The attacker did not merely compromise the multisig once, as initially suggested by the affected project's developers.  On March 27, Drift updated its Security Council rules: two out of five signatures were required to confirm a transaction, and execution was instantaneous. However, just three days later, the perpetrator breached the new multisig again and used a deferred signature mechanism.  Preparation for the Attack The hacker began preparing for the attack on March 11. At that time, they withdrew 10 ETH using Tornado Cash at 15:24 Pyongyang time. The funds passed through a chain of disposable wallets and cross-chain bridges.  On March 12, 50 SOL was sent to the token issuance address, and by 09:58 Korean time, the perpetrator had created 750 million fake CVT coins. The same address was used in the BSC network. It received 31.125 BNB through a signed transaction from MetaWallet, after which the funds followed the same route as Ethereum.  Earlier reports mistakenly claimed that 30 ETH from three withdrawals via Tornado Cash funded the attack. Experts clarified that the attacker owned only one transaction of 10 ETH. The other two went to a service for address poisoning.  Funds Withdrawal After the breach, Diverg reconstructed the full strategy for withdrawing funds through the public API of CoW Protocol. Within 30 minutes, the perpetrator placed 10 orders via the CoW Swap web interface, converting $14.6 million USDC and 99.8 WBTC into approximately 13,150 ETH. All 10 transactions are confirmed on the blockchain. The secondary holding wallet received funds from two sources: 390.86 ETH from Chainflip Vault and 846,000 USDC through Circle CCTP (later converted into 397 ETH via CoW Protocol). In total, 788 ETH were sent to the holding address. Behavioral Profile All confirmed actions of the hacker are tied to Pyongyang's working hours and were conducted only on weekdays. The group's methods fully align with the known profile of Lazarus: preparation through Tornado Cash, social engineering (fake job offers, as in the case with Bybit SafeWallet), rapid transfer of funds across multiple blockchains into Ethereum, and retention of stolen assets. However, this time the perpetrators employed a new tactic: they issued fake CVT tokens and manipulated oracle data to artificially inflate the collateral value. According to Elliptic, the Drift breach marks the 18th attack by Lazarus since the beginning of 2026.  Earlier in March, the North Korean group was suspected of attacking the cryptocurrency online store Bitrefill. 

On April 3rd, the Irish government launched a pilot version of a digital wallet that includes an age verification feature to enhance online safety for teenagers. This was reported by Bloomberg. The Department of Public Expenditure and Reform stated that the digital ID will simplify age verification, purportedly helping to protect children and young people from the harms of social media. Ireland hosts the European headquarters of the world's largest tech companies. It is among several countries aiming to restrict teenagers' access to social media. This movement gained momentum after Australia banned children under 16 from using these platforms in January, as reported by BBC. In Ireland, it is believed that age verification will be a step towards broader restrictions on platforms operated by tech giants like Meta. Previously, Finance Minister Simon Harris stated that teenagers' presence on social media is a "serious public health issue," citing the impact of these resources on mental health. The new digital wallet can store versions of birth certificates, driver's licenses, and other official documents. All EU member states are required to implement such a system by the end of 2026, but each country has the right to choose how to apply it. Are Social Media Harmful? Experts have repeatedly expressed concerns about the harm social media poses to teenagers. In May 2023, the president of the American Psychological Association, Thema Bryant, stated that platform use should be assessed through the lens of maturity, as young users "are less able to handle psychological risks." According to Hans Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, the issue of social media use is growing and poses serious concerns for the health and well-being of young people.  "Clearly, social media can have both positive and negative consequences. This is why digital literacy is so important. However, in many countries, it remains insufficient, and where available, it often lags behind the pace of children's development and technological progress," noted the expert. Bloomberg School Associate Professor Johannes Thrul emphasized that social media is dangerous due to the concealment of data on algorithmic impacts. Independent researchers cannot fully assess the harm. Psychologist Lisa Damour believes that teenagers should delay access to social media as long as possible. The main issue lies in algorithms that push harmful content. Digital ID on the Rise In recent years, many countries have launched new digital identification systems. These are being implemented by both governmental and private entities: banks, universities, and IT corporations. These services allow citizens to use electronic documents through online services but create risks for personal security. Consequently, a movement is gaining momentum online advocating for the conscious rejection of digital IDs and AI assistants. This emerging social group values "opacity" over convenience. Back in July 2025, China introduced digital identity cards for online use.

XRP is flashing signs as decreasing on-chain activity and a weak technical structure point to continued short-term downside risk.

On January 4, 1991—thirteen days before the bombing of Iraq began—the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard published an essay in Liberation titled “The Gulf War Will Not Take Place”. The headline nodded to Jean Giraudoux’s play “The Trojan War Will Not Take Place”, whose characters try to forestall the inevitable. Once the bombing started, he followed with a second essay—“The Gulf War: Is It Really Taking Place?”. After hostilities ended came a third: “The Gulf War Did Not Take Place”. These texts made up a book published in May 1991. This piece explains why the French thinker’s idea still holds today—judging by Donald Trump’s posts and more. On “the war that did not happen” Baudrillard did not deny that bombs fell in the desert and people died. His point was different: what occurred was not war in the usual sense—a clash of armies able to inflict comparable damage on each other. The imbalance of military power was so great that direct confrontation never happened. What mattered most to Baudrillard was how events in the Persian Gulf were perceived. The 1991 war became the first armed conflict in history that television broadcast live, 24 hours a day. Viewers saw strikes from missile-borne cameras but not the victims or the destruction—the American authorities, mindful of Vietnam, imposed controls on the media. “At times the absurdity of the media’s self-representation as the purveyor of reality and immediacy broke the surface—in such moments as, for example, when CNN’s cameras switched live to a group of reporters somewhere in the Persian Gulf, only for them to admit that they were themselves sitting and watching CNN, trying to work out what was happening. Television news, it seemed, had finally caught up with the logic of simulation,” wrote Baudrillard’s translator Paul Patton in the introduction to the English edition. What hyperreality is Hyperreality is a situation in which the image of an event matters more than objective reality. The copy displaces the original—not because anyone is deliberately deceiving, but because that is how media work. They make the image more accessible and more vivid than reality itself. “To the catastrophe (an occurrence) of the real world we prefer exile into the virtual world, whose universal mirror is television,” wrote Baudrillard. The philosopher had developed this idea long before the Gulf. In “Simulacra and Simulation” (1981) he described four stages in the relation between image and reality: first the image reflects reality, then masks it, then masks the absence of it, and finally has no relation to reality at all—it becomes a pure simulacrum. The Gulf conflict became, for Baudrillard, the perfect illustration. The television picture replaced the event itself. War turned, in his words, into an advertising campaign without a product: “Advertising-informational, speculative, virtual: this war no longer corresponds to von Clausewitz’s well-known formula ‘war is the continuation of politics by other means’, but rather signifies the absence of politics, continued by other means.” Baudrillard also captured the psychological side. Politicians, generals and viewers became hostages of the media rather than of real events: “The war, along with all its military fakes, its putative soldiers and generals, its supposed experts and television presenters who constantly speculate about it all day long before our eyes, seems to be spinning before a mirror: am I good enough, effective enough, spectacular enough, perfect enough to step onto the stage of history?” War has a media face In 1991 the intermediary between viewer and event was television. Today there are dozens: X, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, news aggregators. Each imposes its own filter on reality. In 2026 information arrives as short clips, memes and screenshots—fragments easier to spread than to verify.

An emotionally charged post gains more reach than a dry fact. Thus a feed emerges in which images compete not for accuracy but for reaction. The difference between 1991 and 2026 is scale and speed. Then a television viewer received one version of events from journalists. Today a user receives thousands from anyone: eyewitnesses, propagandists, bloggers, bots. Yet the proliferation of sources has not brought the viewer closer to reality; it has widened the distance. The more versions there are, the harder it is to establish what actually happened. The spice must flow; the show must go on Thirty-five years on, the mechanics of hyperreality are even clearer. American YouTuber Brendan Miller, in a video essay, analysed the US conflict with Iran through Baudrillard’s lens and compared the situation to a TV show. The blogger noted a telling sign: war exists chiefly as a set of images—clips in which combat footage is edited together with nods to mass culture. JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸🔥 pic.twitter.com/0502N6a3rL— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 6, 2026 In Miller’s view, once a conflict is perceived through the prism of hyperreality, its logic shifts. Goals blur, deadlines slip, and the audience’s reaction becomes the main yardstick of success. If you are dealing with a TV show, plans and schedules do not matter. Through that lens, Miller suggests, the behaviour of US president Donald Trump makes sense. Constantly shifting aims and timelines, a thinly worked-out plan—none of this looks chaotic if you realise that for someone who treats war as a TV show, such details simply do not matter. The picture does. The quintessence came in a line from an interview with ABC journalist Jonathan Karl, in which Trump addressed him directly: “I hope you’re impressed. Well, how do you like our performance? Venezuela is obvious. And this may be even better. How do you like the performance?” Miller concludes: this is not the language of a politician or a military strategist. It is the language of a TV producer whose task is to deliver spectacle. Baudrillard described this mechanism in 1991. In his words, war lost political goals and set out to prove its own existence: “Unlike previous wars, which had definite political aims—conquest or domination—what is at stake now is war itself: its status, its meaning, its future. It has no other aim than the proof of its very existence (this identity crisis concerns the existence of each of us).” Hyperreality does not nullify consequences—they are felt far beyond the screen. Baudrillard understood this contradiction. His texts did not claim that reality had vanished. They recorded a split: the image of an event and the original drift ever further apart, yet the consequences—physical, economic, human—remain entirely real. Text: Sasha Kosovan
