On the night of April 9, four wallets pumped the FARTCOIN token on the DEX Hyperliquid through long positions, triggering a cascade of liquidations. As a result, the trading platform's storage (HLP) lost approximately $1.5 million. #PeckShieldAlert #HLP is down ~$1.5M in the last 24hAttacker accumulated a $15M $Fartcoin long (145.24M tokens) across 4 wallets.In a low-liquidity environment, the attacker triggered a "suicide" liquidation, forcing the ADL mechanism to kick in.HLP was forced to absorb the… pic.twitter.com/PM8DCYcDRU— PeckShieldAlert (@PeckShieldAlert) April 9, 2026 According to PeckShield's analysis, the attacker accumulated longs worth $15 million (145.24 million FARTCOIN) across addresses. This led to a temporary 25% increase in the coin's price—from $0.2 to $0.25. Subsequent order manipulations ensued. In a low-liquidity environment, the attacker initiated a "suicidal" liquidation. The closure of positions activated the ADL mechanism, and the HLP system absorbed the loss-making position. 15-minute FARTCOIN/USDT chart on Binance exchange. Source: TradingView.  Researchers reported that the attacker's "paper" loss amounted to about $3 million. However, he likely secured substantial profits by hedging the rate on other platforms. Following the incident, FARTCOIN's price plummeted. At the time of writing, the token had fallen to $0.19 (-7% in 24 hours). Not Again, But Once More This is not the first attack on Hyperliquid's storage. In March 2025, HLP lost approximately $4 million due to Ethereum speculation—one major participant opened a long position on 175,000 ETH with high leverage. This resulted in a cascade of liquidations, and the trading platform had to absorb part of the losses. In the same month, a similar incident occurred with the JELLYJELLY token. An investor opened two longs worth $2.15 million and $1.9 million. A short position of $4.1 million served as a hedge. The coin's price pump of ~400% led to the liquidation of the short, but due to its volume, assets were transferred to HLP. The exchange had to halt trading on the token contract, but the user managed to withdraw about $6.2 million. Experts from 10x Research noted that Hyperliquid's transparency enabled a "public hunt" on leveraged whales to liquidate their positions.

On April 9, the TON network activated the Catchain 2.0 update, increasing throughput tenfold. The initiative was approved by a majority vote (over 85%). Pavel Durov announced the successful upgrade in a separate post. According to him, the blockchain now creates blocks six times faster, and transactions occur "instantly, in less than a second." The TON blockchain just got upgraded and is now 10× faster.Block rate increased 6×. Transactions are now instant, subsecond.This was step 1 of 7 to Make TON Great Again (MTONGA). Next step: cut the already low transaction fees by 6×.— Pavel Durov (@durov) April 9, 2026 "This was the first of seven steps to Make TON Great Again (MTONGA). The next step: reduce the already low transaction fees by six times," he added. According to TON developers, after Catchain 2.0, block creation time has been reduced to 400 ms across the network. While block mining rewards remain unchanged, the update will temporarily increase validator income by reducing intervals. The blockchain will also continue to use the mechanism of burning 50% of transaction fees. However, a proposal to reduce the reward is up for a vote: from 1.7 TON to 0.35 TON in the masterchain, and from 1 TON to 0.2 TON in the main network. The deadline is set for June. This initiative aims to curb the growth of the annual inflation rate of the TON token. With current rewards and accelerated block issuance, the rate could rise from 0.6% to 3.6%. Following the update release, the TON rate increased by 2% over the day. However, the coin has been in a prolonged correction for over a year, having dropped 57% in the past 12 months. 15-minute chart of TON/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted the 'breakthrough device' designation to CorTec's BCI system. This designation is awarded to innovative medical solutions for the effective treatment or diagnosis of serious diseases. The FDA program accelerates the development and evaluation of technologies, ensuring patients have quick access to vital therapies without compromising safety standards. The status is intended to facilitate the development and assessment of medical devices through priority and more interactive engagement with the FDA. It applies to the use of direct electrical stimulation of the cerebral cortex. The technology aims to restore motor functions in individuals with chronic motor impairments caused by stroke. CorTec's brain-computer interface device combines neural signal recording and adaptive stimulation in a closed-loop system. The platform is undergoing FDA-approved clinical trials at the University of Washington in Seattle. “This is the first clinical analysis of a fully implantable wireless BCI system for stroke rehabilitation in humans,” the announcement stated. Acute cerebrovascular accidents are a leading cause of acquired long-term disability in adults. Annually, approximately 9 million cases of ischemic stroke are recorded worldwide, with about 1.7 million in the US and Europe. More than 80% of patients suffer from upper limb dysfunctions, and approximately 50% remain permanently disabled. For patients with chronic stroke and moderate to severe motor impairments who have plateaued after traditional therapy, there is currently no approved implantable treatment. “Today, only a few BCI companies worldwide, including Neuralink, Synchron, and Blackrock Neurotech, have received the 'breakthrough device' status. This step is a significant milestone for CorTec and underscores the potential of our system to meet the substantial need for stroke rehabilitation,” stated the company's CEO, Frank Dezeure. He added that the system demonstrates signal stability for 500 days. Several BCI technologies from other companies offer the ability to communicate by controlling digital devices with thought. CorTec is developing a bidirectional solution with therapeutic neurostimulation for physical rehabilitation. This is a unique development with 'breakthrough device' status, the company emphasized. In addition to stroke recovery, the platform is being tested for epilepsy treatment. Work is also underway to expand the range of indications, including assistance with paralysis and depression. Previously, BCI user Galen Buckwalter learned to create music with the power of thought.

Fintech company Revolut has unveiled an AI assistant for retail clients, named AIR (AI by Revolut). The initial market is the United Kingdom, with plans to expand to other countries soon. Meet AIR.We’re rolling out gradually to UK customers first, with more countries launching soon. pic.twitter.com/nXRTdLheEn— Revolut (@Revolut) April 9, 2026 The solution encompasses a range of functions for everyday financial management: expense analysis and budget summaries; tracking the current status of investment portfolios; managing and cancelling subscriptions; blocking lost cards directly in chat; assisting with travel budget planning and purchasing Revolut eSIMs. AIR only accesses data that clients already see in their app: transactions, investments, and card details. No confidential user information is stored with third parties or used to train external neural networks. The firm has not disclosed which specific AI providers support the new tool. “We believe the era of endless tabs and menus is over,” said Julia Ponomareva, Head of Customer Experience and AI Products at Revolut. The company is entering a rapidly growing and competitive market for financial autonomous assistants. In March, a similar product based on Google Gemini was launched by the British neobank Starling Bank. Traditional banks — Barclays, NatWest, HSBC, and Lloyds — are also actively investing in partnerships with AI projects and developing their own technologies. Revolut has already established an AI division that is currently developing voice tools, personal assistants, and sales agents. AIR marks the first step in this direction. Back in 2024, the firm launched Revolut X — a crypto platform not linked to the app, focusing on experienced traders. In the same year, Revolut achieved a record $1.4 billion profit thanks to digital assets.
