Nasdaq is aiming to debut its crypto custody services by the end of the second quarter, Bloomberg reported on Friday. The stock market exchange operator's senior vice president and head of digital assets, Ira Auerbach, said the firm is working to finalize the technical infrastructure and obtain the necessary regulatory approvals. According to Auerbach, Nasdaq has already applied to the New York Department of Financial Services for a limited-purpose trust company charter, which would oversee the new business. In September 2022, Nasdaq unveiled its digital assets division, with plans to offer custody services for Bitcoin and Ether to institutional investors. “Nasdaq Digital Assets builds upon the successful solutions we have introduced in recent years to serve the digital assets ecosystem, including marketplace technology for digital asset exchanges, crypto-native anti-financial crime offerings, and crypto-related index solutions for tradable products,” CEO Adena Friedman said in a statement at the time. Euler Finance exploiter returns over 58,000 stolen Ether
The hacker behind the $200 million exploit on lending protocol Euler Finance has returned a large portion of the stolen assets, according to on-chain data. In a transaction on March 25th, the exploiter returned 51,000 ETH, worth around $90 million at the time of writing. A second transfer of 7,737 ETH was made soon after, worth over $13 million. Previously, on March 18th, the exploiter sent 3,000 ETH to the protocol, worth around $5.4 million at the time.  Euler exploiter just returned 51000 Eth to Euler finane. Still some Ethers are remaining in the exploiter account. On March 13th, the attacker drained almost $200 million from Euler Finance in a flash loan attack — dubbed the largest decentralized finance (DeFi) hack of 2023 so far. Stolen assets included $8.7 million in the decentralized stablecoin DAI, $18.5 million in Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), a whopping $135.8 million in Staked Ethereum (stETH), and $33.8 million in Circle's USD stablecoin USDC. Last week, Euler Finance CEO Michael Bentley announced a $1 million reward “for any information that leads to the identification and arrest of the attacker.” The Waves🌊 Hal Finney described NFTs in 1993 🌊 OpenAI announces ChatGPT plugins 🌊 NFT trader accidentally burns $135K CryptoPunk 🌊 G-7 to push for tighter cryptocurrency regulations Discover more Waves in the Waivly Discord.
