The Solana-based protocol Drift has raised $148 million from Tether and other partners to recover from a $295 million hack. Today, Drift is announcing a collaboration with @tether and other partners totaling up to nearly $150 million to support our commitment to a relaunch with USDT at the center, and a path to user recovery.These funds encompass a $100M revenue-linked credit facility, an ecosystem…— Drift (@DriftProtocol) April 16, 2026 The support package includes a $100 million revenue-linked credit line, an ecosystem grant, and loans to market makers. Initially, a significant portion of the platform's revenue and the raised funds will be directed to a special pool for compensating users. As revenues grow, Drift hopes to fully cover the losses.  To facilitate payments, developers will issue a special token for each affected user. This asset will certify the right to claim from the compensation pool. Details of the mechanism will be provided later, the project team noted.  Following the news, the price of DRIFT surged by more than 21% to $0.05. Source: CoinGecko.  Relaunch  The developers will completely relaunch the protocol. Each component will undergo independent audits conducted by Ottersec and Asymmetric.  Drift will implement a multisignature system managed by the community. Signatories will operate on isolated devices, and transactions will be independently verified before signing.  For critical administrative actions, time locks and real-time alerts will be introduced. Long-term one-time numbers will be disabled. As part of the relaunch, Drift will also switch its base settlement layer from USDC to USDT. Previously, the community criticized the company behind the stablecoin, Circle, for not freezing the stolen funds. The attackers withdrew over $60 million in USDC.  Earlier in April, the project team disclosed details of the hack. The attack was orchestrated by hackers from North Korea. 

Out of 150 major protocols, only one has publicly disclosed its terms of cooperation with market makers. This conclusion was reached by experts at Novora. New from Novora Research: IR & Token Transparency in 2026 https://t.co/qLW2R8yYvF— Novora (@novora_) April 14, 2026 The study covered leading types of projects: decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, perp-DEX, L1 and L2 networks, cross-chain bridges, and CEX tokens. They varied in FDV from $40 million to $45 billion. Experts assessed the protocols using a binary transparency system, considering information disclosure practices and coverage by third-party data. The verification was conducted using open sources. It was found that less than 1% of projects publicly disclose the terms of their work with liquidity providers. The only exception was the decentralized platform Meteora, whose developers detailed their partnership in the 2025 annual report for token holders. Most crypto projects disclose revenue information (green lines). Source: Novora. “The most significant gap in transparency in our industry,” is how Novora founder Connor King described the situation. According to him, such agreements are regularly disclosed in traditional markets, while “in the crypto sector, every participant operates without this information.” Opaque terms of cooperation with market makers remain a longstanding issue in the crypto industry. Some agreements are poorly conceived and carry hidden risks. For instance, under a common credit option model, projects lend tokens to market makers. They use them to maintain trading activity and volumes—often within listing agreements. Critics argue that in practice, this structure merely encourages the sale of borrowed coins. The price drops, benefiting the intermediary. However, as a result, startups immediately face reduced liquidity and deteriorating market performance. Reporting Gap for Investors The study revealed a systemic shortcoming: projects hardly establish communication with investors. According to Novora, 91% of protocols generate trackable revenue, but only 18% of teams release quarterly reports, and only 8% provide materials for token holders. Source: Novora. Meanwhile, third-party analytical infrastructure has already reached maturity: coverage on major platforms exceeds 85%. Basic data is widely available but rarely converted into formal reporting, specialists noted. The breakdown by project type showed uneven transparency. For example, perpetual futures protocols and decentralized exchanges lead in information disclosure and value extraction mechanisms. Meanwhile, L1 projects and infrastructure platforms lag behind, despite higher capitalization. Among networks, Ethereum leads in transparency. Source: Novora. Back in early 2025, market maker CLS Global admitted to fictitious trading of the AI token NexFundAI, created by the FBI to detect fraud.

BrainCo's brain-computer interface (BCI) garnered significant attention at the HSBC summit with a demonstration of a bionic hand controlled by thought. This was reported by SCMP. The technology non-invasively reads neural signals through the skin and converts them into commands for devices. This feature also aids patients in managing symptoms of certain diseases. "For severe brain diseases like Parkinson's or for blind individuals, surgical intervention may be required. However, there are other approaches, such as ours," stated BrainCo partner and senior vice president Nixie He. During the event, the company conducted a live demonstration. A man with a bionic hand took the stage and showcased the device's response to nerve impulses, moving his fingers solely by thought. Company representatives claimed it is the world's first prosthesis allowing independent control of each finger. The participant then played a short piece on the piano. "The sensors merely touch the skin and read the neural signals beneath it. Then the muscles contract to move the hand," said He. According to her, the non-invasive approach is safer, more readily accepted by patients, and reduces risks and costs. A well-known player in the BCI field, Neuralink, employs an invasive method. The company inserts ultra-thin threads with electrodes at their ends into brain tissue. These read neuron activity related to the intention to perform an action. This approach offers higher accuracy, but the signal quality diminishes over time. He mentioned that her company's technology can be used to enhance concentration and improve sleep quality. BrainCo was founded in the United States by Harvard University graduate Han Bicheng. He holds a master's degree in law from Harvard Law School. Last year, the firm established its Asia-Pacific headquarters and a research base in Hong Kong's Cyberport. Earlier in March, China's regulator approved the country's first neural implant for commercial use.
