ZachXBT: A whale's hardware wallet was compromised in a social engineering scam, resulting in losses of over $282 millions. The attacker later exchanged the stolen funds for Monero, causing its price to surge by more than 60%.BlockBeats News, January 17, on-chain detective ZachXBT posted on social media that at around 11:00 PM UTC on January 10, 2026, a whale victim lost more than $282 million worth of Litecoin (LTC) and bitcoin (BTC) due to a social engineering scam targeting their hardware wallet. Afterwards, the attacker converted the stolen LTC and BTC into Monero (XMR) through multiple instant exchange platforms, causing the price of Monero to surge sharply. Part of the BTC was also bridged to Ethereum, Ripple, and the Litecoin network via Thorchain cross-chain bridge. BlockBeast Note: Social Engineering Scam refers to a type of fraud in which attackers exploit human weaknesses, psychological manipulation, and trust-building techniques to trick victims into voluntarily handing over sensitive information, assets, or access rights, rather than directly hacking systems through technical vulnerabilities.

Sei Labs co-founder says SIP-3 upgrade is expected to be completed by mid-year and will drive the launch of Sei GigaSei Labs co-founder Jay stated that the team is preparing for the launch of Sei Giga and will announce major news soon. The SIP-3 upgrade of the Sei network is the final technical hurdle before the release of Sei Giga, aiming to transition Sei from a dual architecture (EVM + Cosmos) to a pure EVM chain, which requires deleting hundreds of thousands of lines of code. It is expected that by mid-2026, Sei will become a pure EVM chain, at which point only EVM addresses will be able to initiate transactions. After the completion of SIP-3, Sei Giga will become the team's next major focus.
