PANews reported on February 2nd that Singapore-based crypto investment firm QCP Capital analyzed that after Kevin Warsh was officially confirmed as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, Bitcoin fell below the $80,000 support level on Saturday, hitting a low of $74,500, while Ethereum simultaneously fell below $2,170. A new round of deleveraging occurred in the market, with over $2.5 billion in long leveraged positions being liquidated. Coupled with continued outflows from ETFs, market sentiment was further dampened. Risk aversion continued to spread after Warsh's appointment, impacting the stock market and extending to traditional safe-haven assets. Gold and silver prices continued their correction as investors reassessed the policy path under Warsh's leadership. Rising market expectations for policy normalization or tightening weakened demand for non-interest-bearing precious metals, and increased margin requirements from futures exchanges accelerated the liquidation of leveraged positions.

Bitcoin is currently finding support above $74,500, a level that coincides with the technical low of the 2025 cycle. Options market signals remain cautious, with a clear put skew, but hedging demand has eased compared to the extreme levels seen during Bitcoin's drop from $107,000 to $80,500 last November, potentially reflecting investors positioning themselves for a short-term bottom. However, market momentum remains weak, with upside potential capped by recent resistance levels. The key to future price action lies in holding the $74,000 support level. A break below this level could trigger a deeper correction; a return above $80,000 would help normalize volatility and options skew. The market is focused on whether institutions are re-accumulating positions near the average cost of $76,000, as well as geopolitical risks and policy signals from the Federal Reserve.

Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum

The post Crypto whale loses $6M to sneaky phishing scheme targeting staked Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto whale lost more than $6 million in staked Ethereum (stETH) and Aave-wrapped Bitcoin (aEthWBTC) after approving malicious signatures in a phishing scheme on Sept. 18, according to blockchain security firm Scam Sniffer. According to the firm, the attackers disguised their move as a routine wallet confirmation through “Permit” signatures, which tricked the victim into authorizing fund transfers without triggering obvious red flags. Yu Xian, founder of blockchain security company SlowMist, noted that the victim did not recognize the danger because the transaction required no gas fees. He wrote: “From the victim’s perspective, he just clicked a few times to confirm the wallet’s pop-up signature requests, didn’t spend a single penny of gas, and $6.28 million was gone.” How Permit exploits work Permit approvals were originally designed to simplify token transfers. Instead of submitting an on-chain approval and paying fees, a user can sign an off-chain message authorizing a spender. That efficiency, however, has created a new attack surface for malicious players. Once a user signs such a permit, attackers can combine two functions—Permit and TransferFrom—to drain assets directly. Because the authorization takes place off-chain, wallet dashboards show no unusual activity until the funds move. As a result, the assets are gone when the approval executes on-chain, and tokens are redirected to the attacker’s wallet. This loophole has made permit exploits increasingly attractive for malicious actors, who can siphon millions without needing complex hacks or high-cost gas wars. Phishing losses The latest theft highlights a wider trend of escalating phishing campaigns. Scam Sniffer reported that in August alone, attackers stole $12.17 million from more than 15,200 victims. That figure represented a 72% jump in losses compared with July. According to the firm, the most significant share of August’s damages came from three large accounts that accounted for nearly half…
