The incident affected users who opened and logged into the Trust Wallet browser extension version 2.68 between December 24 and 26. If users received a push notification via the Trust Wallet mobile app or saw a security incident banner on the Trust Wallet browser extension, they may still be using a compromised wallet. It has been confirmed that 2,520 wallet addresses were affected by this incident and had funds stolen by attackers. The total amount of affected assets is approximately $8.5 million, which are linked to 17 wallet addresses controlled by the attackers. Trust Wallet has decided to proactively compensate affected users, is improving the compensation process and ownership verification procedures, and has begun communicating with victims who have reached out in the past few days. Affected users are requested to submit applications through the official support form.

According to Odaily, between December 24 and 26, 2025, the Trust Wallet Browser Extension v2.68 was compromised by the upload of malicious code due to an API key leak. This incident affected 2,520 wallet addresses that logged into the extension during this period, resulting in the theft of approximately $8.5 million in assets. Investigations revealed that the attack was related to the industry-wide supply chain attack Sha1-Hulud that occurred in November, where attackers gained access to the Chrome Web Store API through leaked GitHub credentials. Trust Wallet has decided to voluntarily compensate affected users and is currently finalizing the compensation workflow and ownership verification process, while also beginning to connect with victims who have contacted the official team. Trust Wallet reminds affected users to immediately transfer their funds to a new wallet and submit a claim application through the official form. Over 5,000 claim applications have been received so far, and the team is reviewing each case individually. In addition, Trust Wallet has released the fixed version 2.69 and has disabled the relevant publishing permissions and credentials.

BlockBeats News, on December 30, Greeks.Live researcher Adam released the daily market briefing. The crypto community generally believes that the current stage is a bear market, and after bottoming out, it will require another 2-3 months of consolidation. The real bull market may not arrive until after Christmas 2026. There is consensus in the market regarding BTC's three consecutive years of gains but the difficulty for retail investors to profit, with attention also focused on whether a major liquidity injection will occur in a deflationary environment. Some traders believe that the crypto market, as a production relationship in the AI era, will maintain wide fluctuations in the short term and will not rise ahead of the actual implementation of AI.
