Zoth, an Ethereum-based real-world asset platform, has suffered an $8.85 million exploit after attackers gained unauthorized access to a private key. The breach marks the second major security incident for Zoth in a month, highlighting ongoing vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols. The attacker reportedly compromised the protocol’s deployer wallet, allowing them to upgrade the “USD0PPSubVaultUpgradeable” proxy contract to a contract under their control. This maneuver helped them to withdraw $8.4 million in Zoth’s USD0++ stablecoin, which was quickly swapped for 8.3 million DAI and moved to an external address. In response, Zoth has placed its website in maintenance mode and is working with security partners to assess the damage and prevent further exploits. Proxy contracts, widely used in DeFi for upgradability, introduce a risk when private keys securing them are compromised. The unauthorized upgrade in Zoth’s case demonstrates how attackers can manipulate contract logic to reroute funds without resistance. This breach follows a March 6 exploit in which Zoth lost $285,000 due to a liquidity pool vulnerability. Repeated security failures raise concerns about the platform’s risk management and could invite regulatory scrutiny.

The Open House Group, a leading real estate company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, has announced that it now accepts XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin for payments. Open House, which added cryptocurrency payments to its accepted payment options in January this year, said it is expanding the offering to include three more crypto tokens. As well as XRP ( XRP ), Open House customers can now use Solana ( SOL ) and Dogecoin ( DOGE ) to handle real estate payments with the firm. With crypto adoption on the rise across the world amid regulatory clarity, Open House says demand for crypto transactions is huge. Given its integrated approach across the real estate space, the publicly-listed company sees crypto as a pillar of future growth. XRP, SOL and DOGE now join Bitcoin ( BTC ) and Ethereum ( ETH ) as accepted payment options for services and goods covering Open House Group’s suite of products — from property acquisition to design, construction and sales to management. “This expansion ensures our global clients with greater flexibility in their investment process, subject to compliance with their country’s regulations,” Open House wrote. Open House ranks among top real estate firms in Japan, and boasts over ¥1 trillion, about $6.7 billion, in annual sales. While it only began accepting BTC and ETH in January 2025, it has championed crypto and blockchain integration for a few years now. The company started to explore the potential application of crypto and blockchain technology in business in 2022. Open House’s involvement within the industry includes its sponsorship of a research initiative on Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. Notably, Yokiko Nishimura, who heads the firm’s crypto initiative, has helped bring crypto solutions to local financial institutions and crypto exchanges since 2015. Earlier this year, Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba weighed in on the issue of crypto adoption, noting that digital assets and web3 are important to the country’s development and innovation. A positive approach to crypto has seen the Japanese Cabinet approve the Payment Services Act, which is set to provide regulatory guidelines for stablecoins and crypto brokerages in Japan.

South Korea’s Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIU) is significantly increasing its enforcement on cryptocurrency exchanges, both within the country and operating internationally. With regulatory compliance under intense scrutiny, the FIU has initiated actions against multiple trading platforms, signaling a clear and strict stance against crypto-related service providers. The FIU is also taking decisive measures against unregistered overseas exchanges, including prominent names like BitMEX and CoinW, citing violations of South Korea’s Specific Financial Transaction Information Reporting and Use Act. Authorities plan to block access to these non-compliant platforms for Korean users, a move aimed at curbing unregulated cryptocurrency trading. Reports indicate that another overseas exchange was also targeted in this action. This development has triggered concerns among market participants, who fear restricted access to widely used trading platforms. So far, the affected exchanges have not released official statements addressing the FIU’s actions. “This action reflects a growing trend among governments to enforce stricter regulations on crypto exchanges operating within their jurisdictions,” said crypto analyst Alan Brown. Related: Bitcoin Not Suitable for Reserves, Says South Korea’s Central Bank Upbit, one of South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has also faced regulatory headwinds. The FIU reportedly issued a suspension notice against Upbit in January over alleged Know Your Customer (KYC) violations. Dunamu, the exchange’s partner firm which operates Upbit’s South Korean business, also received a three-month suspension notice in late February due to a “violation of the obligation to prohibit transactions with unreported virtual asset operators.” In a separate, high-profile development , South Korean prosecutors raided the offices of Bithumb on March 20th following allegations of significant financial misconduct involving its former CEO, Kim Dae-sik. Prosecutors suspect Kim embezzled substantial funds from the exchange, including a 3 billion Korean won (over $2 million) apartment lease deposit, to finance a personal real estate purchase. Regarding the potential for a strategic reserve of digital assets, the Bank of Korea issued a statement , confirming that the central bank is not interested in acquiring Bitcoin (BTC).

The inherent volatility of BTC led the central bank to swiftly reject the idea of a strategic Bitcoin reserve. As per CoinMarketCap , Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $109,114.88 two months ago and currently trades at $84,106.10, down 22% from those levels.

Crypto author and co-founder of Anodos Finance Panos Mekras has addressed what he calls a major misconception about XRP’s circulating supply and its original intended use. In a tweet, Mekras argued that all 100 billion XRP were created and put into circulation in 2012 when the XRP Ledger (XRPL) officially launched. Contrary to popular belief, he asserted that there has never been any inflation of XRP, meaning no new tokens have been created beyond the initial supply. Mekras explained that the XRPL, unlike Bitcoin, doesn’t rely on mining or Proof-of-Work (PoW) to distribute its tokens. Instead, the three core developers behind it—David Schwartz, Arthur Britto, and Jed McCaleb—initially made XRP freely available through a Genesis wallet, allowing anyone to claim as much as they wanted. As Ripple Labs (then called OpenCoin) was formed, the team sought ways to distribute XRP fairly. This led to widespread giveaways, airdrops, and faucet programs that dispensed thousands of XRP daily. However, Mekras noted that these distribution methods were eventually stopped due to their negative impact on XRP’s price stability. By 2017, Ripple made the decision to lock the majority of its remaining XRP into escrow, a built-in feature of the XRPL, to prevent potential large-scale sell-offs that could further destabilize the price. A major point of contention for Mekras is the way CoinMarketCap (CMC) and other market tracking websites calculate XRP’s circulating supply. Related: XRP’s Counter-Narrative: Challenging Bitcoin’s Institutional Dominance Towards $200K Mekras pointed out that while XRP has been active since 2012, CMC excludes Ripple’s escrowed tokens from circulation while failing to account for similar escrows by other XRPL users. Mekras argued that if escrowed XRP is considered out of circulation, then all escrows—not just Ripple’s—should be excluded. Mekras’ comments triggered further reactions among community members. One commenter questioned whether XRP would ever reach the $10 mark, citing the conflicting narratives surrounding its purpose and level of adoption. Others pointed to Ripple’s partnerships with financial institutions, arguing that these collaborations contradict claims that XRP was not intended for banks. Skeptics also raised concerns about Ripple’s role in the XRP ecosystem. Some investors believe the company has used XRP primarily as a funding vehicle, profiting from retail investors while delaying real utility. “Future promises never deliver,” one critic said, alleging that XRP’s true adoption remains hidden behind non-disclosure agreements. Mekras pushed back against claims that the digital asset was created for institutional use. He stated that Ripple’s founders actually opposed banks and middlemen.

He argued that the belief that XRP was designed for banks and cross-border payments is a misconception initially spread by Bitcoin maximalists. According to Mekras, this narrative was later amplified by certain XRP influencers, ultimately damaging the asset’s reputation and hindering its wider adoption.

The alignment of the planets continues. While the United States wants to accumulate “as many bitcoins as possible”, the global money supply is climbing again. The correlation between Bitcoin and the global money supply (M2) has been a hot topic lately. As a reminder, central banks can slow down the rate of money creation by raising interest rates and vice versa. In the long term, the M2 money supply of advanced countries grows by 7% per year. In other words, if economic output remains stable, money loses 7% of its value each year. This results in a loss of 50% after ten years… Increasing the production of goods and services helps absorb the money creation. But without growth, wages cannot keep up with inflation, and savings lose purchasing power. This is the situation we find ourselves in due to the growing difficulties in extracting the essential energy for growth. Not to mention the government waste that doesn’t help. And given that inflation encourages trading savings for a desirable asset, M2 is a good leading indicator for the price of bitcoin. This correlation is not perfect, but historically, an increase in the global money supply often leads to an influx of capital into desirable assets such as bitcoin, stocks, and commodities. The most desirable asset today is Bitcoin. For many reasons, perfectly articulated by Michael Saylor at the Digital Asset Summit in New York this week. In short, the numbers show that Bitcoin tends to follow the evolution of the money supply with a lag of about 70 days. The M2 guy expects bitcoin to resume its forward march on March 25. Time will tell. [The yellow curve represents the global M2 money supply. It is shifted 70 days to the right to suggest the direction bitcoin is about to take.] It is true that the Fed is slowly lowering its rates out of fear of a resurgence of inflation due to customs tariffs. That said, the M2 money supply of the dollar is already up 4% compared to last year. This is the fastest rate of monetary expansion in 30 months. We are in the eleventh consecutive month of M2 increase (21.6 trillion dollars). We are a hair’s breadth away from the historical record set in April 2022. The global money supply has increased by 2 trillion dollars over the last two months. This is the equivalent of 102.6 trillion dollars in total: Additionally, China, the world’s largest economy by purchasing power parity, is about to accelerate monetary printing! Prime Minister Li Qiang announced this month a real GDP growth target of 5% for 2025. The inflation target is 2%, resulting in a nominal GDP growth target of 7%. According to Fortune Magazine , these targets will require a 10% increase in the money supply, compared to 7% currently. Not to mention that inflation is down 0.7% year-on-year, which is well below the desired 2%. This is why Beijing has recently raised its public deficit target from 3% to 4% of GDP for 2025. Some Chinese economists are even betting on 10%! This marks a break from the long-established convention, since 1999, that Beijing would strive to keep the deficit below 3%, as is generally required by the Maastricht Treaty of the European Union. The growth of the global money supply bodes well for bitcoin, as does the U.S. strategic reserve… Traders sold the news, but patience is key. Let’s not forget that the U.S. president’s decree charges the Treasury and Commerce departments with developing budget-neutral strategies to accumulate more BTC. The key phrase in the decree is “budget-neutral”, meaning that the operation will cost taxpayers nothing, and it also does not require Congressional approval… The U.S. government could, for instance, sell gold to buy bitcoins. That said, a bill (Bitcoin Act) is already in the hands of senators, which could facilitate things. Cynthia Lummis did, however, reveal this week that she does not currently have a majority. Other senators, however, are confident. Such is the case with Tom Emmer, who believes that the bill allowing the purchase of 1 million BTC will be passed: Many nations are very interested in bitcoin as an international reserve currency. Notably, the United Arab Emirates and Russia, two BRICS member countries, are on board. The United States will certainly trigger a snowball effect, and many analysts see bitcoin reaching $400,000 in the coming months. Michael Saylor predicts it will surpass Google, Apple, and even gold within 48 months. Don’t miss our article: The United States Will Erase Debt Thanks to Bitcoin .
