Trump Crypto Ventures Leave Investors Facing $4.7 Billion in

Investors in crypto ventures linked to President Donald Trump and his family are facing at least $4.7 billion in losses, according to reports, while Trump reported at least $1.4 billion in crypto-related income for 2025.  The TRUMP memecoin accounts for the biggest share, with investors estimated to be about $3.2 billion underwater. About 1.6 million Solana wallets that bought the token are holding unrealized losses, meaning they have not necessarily sold their holdings.

Solana Neobank Avici Hacked for $650,000. Token Crashes 40%

An attacker drained over $653,000 from card collateral vaults at Avici, a Solana neobank whose own documentation promised that only a users wallet could ever move that money.  The token Avici (AVICI) has since fallen by about 40% to $0.24. The sum taken equals close to a fifth of its entire market value.  AVICI Price Performance.

Why Disney‘s ’Endgame Encore Is Laser-Focused On Infinity Vision

‘Avengers Endgame: Encore’ features four minutes of additional footage and will be the first film to be shown in theaters bearing Disneys new Infinity Vision branding.  Marvel  When Disney announced its Infinity Vision certification brand a few months ago, it was met with some confusion and derision. As a certification program rather than a new format, many found it less than exciting—and a clear response to Spider-Man losing all the IMAX screens to The Odyssey.  However, as tickets go on sale for Avengers: Endgame Encore, which brings back Marvel‘s most successful movie with four additional minutes added to its runtime, I’ve realized that Infinity Vision could offer cinemagoers something genuinely useful: an easy way to identify theaters with laser projection.  That matters because projector information has historically been surprisingly difficult to find. While some chains, such as Regal in the U.S., indicate whether a screen has a laser projector, many still do not. Because laser projection is baked into the Infinity Vision standard, the badge should theoretically provide a simple way of knowing what youre getting.  Discover more  Financial Markets News  Finance  News  This is especially useful for formats such as 4DX, where it has always been vague as to whether the screen has a suitable projector. This can

Lazarus Group resurfaces with $19.4M Bitcoin move

North Korea-linked Lazarus Group has transferred 244.148 Bitcoin worth about $19.42 million, bringing fresh attention to wallets associated with one of the crypto industrys most active hacking operations.  Lazarus Group moves 244 BTC between wallets  Lookonchain reported the transfer in an Aug. 28 X post, saying wallets attributed to Lazarus Group had become active again and moved 244.148 BTC about an hour before its alert.  Bitcoin traded at roughly $79,500 when the analytics account published its estimate, placing the transactions value at $19.42 million. Lookonchain did not identify the receiving address in the text of the post or say whether the Bitcoin moved to an exchange, mixer, or another wallet controlled by the group.  Without a disclosed destination, the transaction alone does not show that Lazarus sold or attempted to cash out the Bitcoin. Public blockchain records confirm when funds move between addresses, but connecting those addresses to an organization usually depends on labels and analysis supplied by investigators or blockchain intelligence firms.  The Aug. 28 transaction followed another large Bitcoin movement attributed to the group earlier in the month. On Aug. 12, Lookonchain said Lazarus transferred 262.2 BTC, then valued at approximately $16.64 million, from an identified wallet to a newly created address.  At the
