🚨 Crypto Weekly Rundown: Explosive Hacks, Fed Shakes Markets, ETF Momentum Builds | Aug 2025

Crypto's wild week served up a triple-shot of chaos, policy drama, and institutional FOMO—because when has this industry ever done subtle?

Hackers Strike Again: DeFi's 'Code Is Law' Gets Expensive

Another nine-figure exploit drained from a 'bulletproof' protocol. Whitehats scrambled while CEXs froze funds—too little, too late for degens who YOLO'd into unaudited farms.

Fed Plays Chicken With Inflation (And Your Portfolio)

Powell's latest 50bps hike sent BTC volatility spiking 30%. Traders now betting the central bank blinks before crypto does—a dangerous game when T-bills yield more than most altcoins.

Wall Street's ETF Obsession Hits Overdrive

Three new filings hit the SEC this week. Institutions still want in—just not enough to actually hold the asset themselves. Meanwhile, the Grayscale discount narrows to 5% as the approval clock ticks.

Bottom line: The system's cracking, the suits are circling, and your cold wallet's never looked smarter. Just another week in the greatest show in finance—where the house always wins... until it gets hacked.
