One of the oldest altcoins, has doubled in price since the beginning of the the last week – from $105 to $220. Analysts credit this remarkable growth to the backing of the altcoin by the newly launched cryptocurrency exchange, EDX Markets. EDX is new non-custodial cryptocurrency exchange, backed by major Wall Street players like Citadel Securities, Fidelity, and Schwab, has officially gone live a week ago. It offers popular options like Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash, while consciously avoiding the list of tokens that the SEC considers to be financial securities.

Researchers from a Web3 security company have recently discovered a number of serious flaws in the Dogecoin, Litecoin, and Zcash blockchains. The most critical vulnerability affects P2P communications, allowing attackers to craft malicious consensus messages to key nodes and cause them to shut down. What's more concerning is that there is a possibility that similar bugs may exist in around two hundred other networks. If cybercriminals manage to exploit these flaws before Halborn receives payment for fixing it, it could put over $25 billion worth of digital assets at risk.
