PANews reported on March 16 that white-hat hacker f4lc0n disclosed in an article on the X platform that he discovered a "critical" vulnerability in the Injective protocol that could lead to the direct extraction of more than $500 million in assets on the chain. However, the project team only offered him a reward of $50,000, far below the planned maximum of $500,000 for this level.
f4lc0n stated that the vulnerability allows any user to wipe any account on the blockchain without special privileges. After he submitted a report through Immunefi, the Injective team initiated a mainnet upgrade vote to fix the vulnerability the following day, but remained "out of contact" for the next three months. f4lc0n has now disputed the amount of the bounty, claiming that the $50,000 reward has not yet been paid. He announced that he will dedicate 10% of future bug bounty revenue to continuously publicizing this issue until Injective pays the standard reward.

Crypto Credit, Borrowing to Drive Next Big Wave: Bitwise CEO
The post Crypto Credit, Borrowing to Drive Next Big Wave: Bitwise CEO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights: Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley predicts that credit and borrowing in crypto could explode in the next few months. Turning U.S. stocks into tokens could let people borrow on the blockchain even with small amounts of shares. This will make credit much easier to access. Industry data confirms strong growth in on-chain lending and staking. The crypto industry has survived various waves of innovation, from the rise of Bitcoin and Ethereum to decentralized finance taking over, NFTs, and the anticipated surge of spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). But according to Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley, the next big shift might not come from these areas, but it could come from crypto credit and borrowing. Speaking on the evolving role of digital assets in traditional capital markets, Horsley projected that credit markets built on crypto and tokenized assets will see explosive growth in the next few years. He also suggested that this transformation could come through within the next 6-12 months and it will reshape how crypto market works.
