Asterix, a fork of the NFT liquidity platform Flooring Protocol, confirmed an exploit that drained about $40,000 and said the $ASTX token contract was hit around 4 a.m. GMT+8. The incident followed the June 8 Flooring Protocol exploit, where losses initially topped $900,000 before white hats recovered roughly $500,000 in NFTs. The back-to-back attacks underscore how unpatched flaws can propagate through forked codebases.

Italian authorities say they dismantled a €1M+ ($1.1M) tax fraud scheme involving Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens, alleging one individual generated undeclared gains while also obtaining public subsidies they were not entitled to.

Italian financial investigators traced more than €1 million ($1.16 million) in allegedly undeclared crypto gains tied to Bitcoin Ordinals trading, after examining activity connected to a seized Ledger hardware wallet. The probe used wallet-clustering techniques and exchange KYC records to link pseudonymous on-chain flows to identified individuals, and to reconstruct a repeat trading pattern that cycled BTC proceeds back into further Ordinals activity.
