DeFi’s 2026 has been a party where the only invite is “How to Lose Millions in Style.” Makina’s exploit adds to this year’s growing list of security fails, proving that old attack vectors are still the MVPs of the hacking world.

Yes, Nansen is now your digital Swiss Army knife, combining research, wallet analytics, routing partners, and non-custodial execution all in a single, shiny interface.

The venerable Tom Lee, a man whose beard could house the secrets of the Dow, has cast his gaze upon 2026. He speaks of turbulence, of markets writhing like a fish on the dock, only to leap back into the waters of prosperity by year’s end. Fundstrat, his oracle, whispers of three transitions-bearish shadows lurking in the bull’s playground.
And oh, what a time it is for traders! With deposits currently basking in the warm embrace of Ethereum, the anticipation grows like a child waiting for Christmas morning. Withdrawals?
