Onto this week’s updates 🚦
🔴 $332 Million Stolen = Rektember ☠️
Crypto exploits peaked in September 2023 with $329.8 million stolen, marking it the worst month of the year to date. Blockchain security company CertiK highlighted the Mixin Network's $200 million loss on Sept. 23, caused by a breach of its cloud service, as the major event accounting for two thirds of the losses. The biggest winner, with no surprises, was the Lazarus Group, famous North Korean hackers. 📛
🟡 Hong Kong is Definitely Back 🇭🇰
Hong Kong-based crypto VC firm, CMCC Global, launches a US$100 million fund to support Asian blockchain start-ups, countering the crypto industry's recent downturn. Despite previous business exodus due to regulatory issues and pandemic restrictions in Hong Kong, the city adopted a pro-crypto stance last October, permitting licensed exchanges to serve retail traders. China and Hong Kong have always looked like crypto markets, full of volatility, either accepting or rejecting crypto, so will China be also back? 🇨🇳
🟢 Honda Welcomes Crypto 🏎️
Honda now accepts crypto payments, including Bitcoin and XRP, for its products in the US. The Japanese automobile giant allows customers to use digital assets like BTC, ETH, XRP, and BNB, as well as stablecoins such as USDT and USDC, and meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, and FLOKI. They plan to expand this payment option to other countries in the future. Unlike what happens in F1, in crypto Honda starts in pole position. 🥇
