Social Tokens Crash After a Reported Hack at Roll Wallet
A number of social tokens, or cryptocurrencies supporting online communities, tanked early Sunday after a reported security breach at Roll.
Tokens like WHALE, RARE and PICA tanked more than 50% during the early European hours, according to data provider CoinGecko. Meanwhile, the RLY token of competing social money platform Rally spiked to all-time highs.
The founder of WHALE, a social coin underpinned by a basket of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), confirmed the hack on Twitter, stating that 2.17% of the coin’s supply has been compromised and the rest is secure in the cold storage.
Roll facilitates the sending and receiving of social money from Ethereum blockchain and within the Roll network.
According to MyCrypto.com, the malicious entity that executed the Roll hack is now sending 100s of ether (ETH, -2.51%) to Tornado Cash, an Ethereum-based privacy tool used by hackers to cover tracks and withdrawn funds.

Someone appears to have gone to odd lengths to impersonate digital asset manager Grayscale Investments, possibly in an effort to drive up the prices of two lesser-known cryptocurrencies. To be clear: Grayscale said it has no intention of creating a financial instrument around Nahmii, an Ethereum scaling project, or Theta, a video platform. Nevertheless, there is a pair of registered trusts, one for each obscure coin, in the state of Delaware (the trust for Nahmii misspells the coin’s name with one “i”). Each of these trusts bears Grayscale’s name, and…

Coinbetter: Outlook for Cryptocurrency in 2022
Taking a look at the fall, the factors affecting bitcoin’s decline are increasingly complex from different dimensions. Bitcoin’s fall from $40,000 to its nadir of $32,000 is undoubtedly driven by the linkage of THE US stock market and the expectation of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy. On the day before the Fed’s decision, U.S. stocks opened down, but bitcoin rebounded, petering out at $38,900, an important sign that the broader market is starting to move independently of U.S. stocks. The United States time on January 27, 3 o ‘clock, the…
