Blockchain sorcerers were quick to note the reactivation, and the whispering fans of XRP already found reason to gasp. Consider the timing: the Texas primary runoff, a day where citizens are mentioned in the same breath as the electors. Quite theatrical, indeed.

It can also help users avoid fake websites and risky smart contracts. However, criminals are also using AI to their advantage, crafting realistic phishing emails and fake customer support interactions. They’re using it to automate hacking, create new malware, and run scams on a larger scale than ever before, leaving crypto wallets increasingly vulnerable to AI-powered attacks.
Arkham’s data named the culprit “ESPORTS Dumper.” This whale sold almost 198 million dollars worth of $ESPORTS-over two hundred million bucks-making up 43% of the whole supply. It’s like stealing the majority of the pie at a bake sale and then bragging about the size on the leaderboard.
