You're tuned in to Tech Beat, let's get into it.
In the decentralized finance world, a platform called TrustedVolumes has been hit by a six point seven million dollar exploit. The liquidity resolver, used across multiple DeFi protocols, was drained in what's becoming a familiar story — smart contract vulnerabilities creating real financial losses for real users. DEX aggregator one inch says its own systems were unaffected, but the broader question remains: how many more of these incidents does the space absorb before trust becomes the actual deficit?
Shifting to the crypto markets more broadly, analyst Ben Cowen is making the case that a mass purge of altcoins is already underway — and that this is actually healthy. His argument is that millions of speculative tokens need to wash out before bitcoin can sustain a genuine bull cycle. It's a sobering reframe: the cleanup isn't a crisis, it's a prerequisite.
And on a different kind of data rights front, privacy advocacy group Noyb is taking aim at LinkedIn, arguing that the list of people who've viewed your profile is your data — and that LinkedIn has no right to withhold it. The case touches something fundamental about who owns behavioral data generated by users, and whether platforms can quietly monetize what they know about your audience.
