Poly Network, an interoperability platform, was hacked over the weekend, resulting in the creation of billions of tokens by an attacker who exploited a vulnerability in the platform's cross-chain bridge tool. Poly Network suspended its services and is assessing the extent of the attack and affected assets. The hacker's digital wallet held nearly $43 billion worth of cryptocurrency, but the lack of liquidity prevented them from realizing significant gains. However, on other networks like Ethereum, stolen tokens were swapped on decentralized exchanges, resulting in an estimated $400,000 worth of crypto being converted. The blockchain security firm SlowMist reported that over $4 million worth of digital assets from the hack has been cashed in. Poly Network had previously suffered a $600 million attack in 2021, but most of the stolen funds were returned. This recent hack raises concerns about the platform's security and the possibility of recovering the stolen crypto.

Title: Venture Capital Investments in Cryptocurrency Companies Drop Over 70% in Past Year

Meta Description: According to data provider RootData, venture capital investments in cryptocurrency companies have seen a significant decline of over 70% in the past 365 days. The digital asset space received only $520 million in funding this year, marking the lowest funded month to date. The infrastructure category leads in funding, followed by CeFi (Centralized Finance) and games. The United States received the most funding among all nations, but the interest from venture capitalists in the crypto industry is diminishing due to various factors, including regulatory uncertainties and banking issues.

Cameron Winklevoss criticized the SEC for its history of failure in approving spot Bitcoin ETFs. He highlighted that it has been ten years since the first application for a Bitcoin ETF was filed by the Winklevoss twins, but it was ultimately rejected. Winklevoss argued that the SEC's reluctance to approve these products has been detrimental to U.S. investors and demonstrated its failure as a regulator. He also pointed out that the lack of spot Bitcoin ETF options has pushed investors towards Grayscale's Bitcoin Trust, which currently trades at a discount. Winklevoss accused the SEC of pushing innovation offshore and forcing investors into unregulated venues. He mentioned the SEC's friction with Gemini, accusing the agency of violating securities laws. Winklevoss expressed hope that the SEC would focus on its responsibilities and support the establishment of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S.
