The decentralized exchange Raydium reported an attack on the liquidity pool of its outdated Legacy AMM V3 program. Hackers managed to withdraw assets worth $1.34 million. Raydium is aware of an exploit involving unauthorized removal of liquidity from its legacy AMM V3 program which was previously phased out in 2021. No current users of Raydium are affected by this exploit or would have been able to interact with these pools through the UI since…— Infra | Raydium (@0xINFRA) June 10, 2026 According to the developers, the main users of the platform were not affected. After AMM V3 was decommissioned in 2021, access to the pools through the exchange interface was closed. The attackers stole about 150,000 RAY, 5,600 SOL, and nearly 900,000 USDC. The exploit affected the Sollet USDT-RAY, Sollet ETH-RAY, RAY-SOL, USDC-RAY, and SRM-RAY pools. Project representatives linked the vulnerability to insufficient validation of liquidity token issuance, which allowed bypassing the proportion checks. Raydium stated that the current pools are unaffected but are undergoing a separate security audit. “The attacker was able to create new coins and use them as LP tokens, bypassing the intended proportion checks. All other programs on Raydium's main network use a virtual offering mechanism for verification […], preventing this class of vulnerabilities,” the team clarified. The team promised to compensate affected users for their losses from the treasury. As reported by PeckShieldAlert analysts, the hacker has already started laundering the funds. They moved the stolen assets from the Solana network to Ethereum and then directed them to crypto mixers.  Source: X/PeckShieldAlert. Earlier, on June 8, unknown individuals compromised wallets associated with the Humanity Protocol project. The damage was estimated at approximately $31 million.

German company NEURA Robotics raised up to $1.4 billion in a Series C funding round. Investors include Tether, Nvidia, Amazon, and Qualcomm. The funds will be used to develop a "physical AI" platform and mass-produce humanoid robots. By 2030, the startup plans to release several million machines. NEURA is developing the Neuraverse ecosystem, where robots exchange skills and learn in real-world conditions. Unlike specialized industrial machines, the company's developments are designed to work alongside humans in domestic, medical, and logistics settings. Source: NEURA. Tether plans to integrate decentralized payment solutions into the robots. Using the Wallet Development Kit tools will allow the machines to conduct financial transactions autonomously, without intermediaries. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino noted that infrastructure must evolve alongside robotics. According to him, autonomous machines need the ability to make decisions and conduct transactions independently. According to a press release, NEURA's order book exceeds $1 billion. The project will also open NEURA Gyms training centers to teach AI algorithms to interact with the physical world. In May, Keenon Robotics launched the humanoid robot XMAN-L1 for service scenarios.

Financial advisors remain interested in cryptocurrencies, but their focus has shifted from Bitcoin to stablecoins and tokenized assets, according to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. “This is the most important takeaway. Throughout history, new crypto market growth cycles have been based on a combination of breakthrough products and new types of investors,” he added. Hougan cited previous periods of market correction completion as examples: 2014 — the launch of Ethereum and the emergence of the first retail investors; 2018 — the DeFi summer and the entry of COVID-19 era investors ready to spend new stimulus payments. 2022 — progress in Bitcoin ETF development, influx of major retail investors and hedge funds. According to the top manager, the market should emerge from the prolonged correction of 2026 through the growing popularity of new products like stablecoins, RWA, decentralized perpetual futures, and other products with real value. However, real acceleration requires the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies by a new class of investors—financial advisors and institutions, many of whom still face barriers to accessing cryptocurrencies, Hougan believes. He suggested that if financial advisors become the next major source of capital inflow into the industry, the initial funds might not go into Bitcoin but rather into tools surrounding stablecoins and tokenization. Among the projects and companies that interest advisors, the expert listed Ethereum, Solana, Canton, Chainlink, Avalanche, Hyperliquid, Figure, Circle, and Coinbase. Hougan estimates that financial advisors collectively manage assets exceeding $175 trillion. Moreover, their “understanding of cryptocurrency potential has become broader and more detailed than it was two years ago.” “It's hard not to hear on CNBC someone like SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, or BlackRock CEO Larry Fink talking about stablecoins and tokenization. Investors want to be part of this process,” emphasized the Bitwise executive. Earlier, Wintermute analysts pointed out the weak capital inflow into Bitcoin.

Dogecoin whales have also gone on a substantial accumulation spree lately.

The price of the leading cryptocurrency could drop to $53,600. This level corresponds to the realized price of the asset—the average purchase cost of all coins in the network, reports The Block citing CryptoQuant. Julio Moreno, head of research at the company, noted that demand for Bitcoin remains "extremely unfavorable." Last week, the figure decreased by 652,000 BTC—the sharpest decline since the beginning of 2022. Institutional interest has also waned. The capital inflow into spot Bitcoin-ETF over 30 days turned negative, amounting to -74,000 BTC. Instead of buying the dip, funds are increasing supply in the market. On June 10, the net outflow from US spot Bitcoin ETFs was $213.85 million. The IBIT fund from BlackRock led the sales, losing $148.47 million. Grayscale (GBTC) also recorded an outflow of $87.9 million. Source: SoSoValue. According to CryptoQuant, there are no signs of capitulation—mass panic selling—on the market yet. The total realized loss of holders over 30 days was 187,000 BTC. For comparison, during the FTX exchange collapse, this figure reached 1.2 million BTC. Moreno emphasized that many short-term investors are still holding positions in profit and have not reached the psychological threshold of forced sales. Analysts believe the current price could be a "candidate for the bottom," but for sustainable growth, the market needs a regime change. Full recovery will begin only after demand stabilizes and ETF inflows return. Until then, the risk of further decline remains. At the time of writing, the leading cryptocurrency is trading at $62,651 (+1.8% for the day). Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView.
