Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Worth of Solana Cryptocurrency Assets Stolen in Recent CLINKSINK Drainer Campaigns
Numerous actors have conducted campaigns since December 2023 that leverage the CLINKSINK drainer to steal funds and tokens from Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency users. The identified campaigns included at least 35 affiliate IDs that are associated with a common drainer-as-a-service (DaaS), which uses CLINKSINK. The operator(s) of this DaaS provide the drainer scripts to affiliates in exchange for a percentage of the stolen funds, typically around 20%. We estimate the total value of assets stolen by affiliates in these recent campaigns to be at least $900,000 USD.

Bitcoin ETFs Win SEC Approval, Broadening Crypto Access
U.S. regulators have approved bitcoin ETFs, expanding access to the cryptocurrency and potentially attracting more investors. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has given the green light to a dozen companies, including BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, seeking to create bitcoin ETFs. These ETFs will hold bitcoin itself, unlike the previously-approved bitcoin futures ETFs that hold derivative contracts tied to BTC. The SEC's decision comes after years of delays and rejections, and follows a court loss in 2023. Advocates argue that ETFs focused on bitcoin will allow both institutional and retail clients to invest in bitcoin's price movements without the need for direct ownership of the digital asset. However, not all SEC commissioners support the decision, with Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw dissenting over concerns of fraud and manipulation in the bitcoin spot market.
