16 May Crypto News- Today’s Developments in the Crypto Markets

Crypto News– n an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Binance security experts shared how they developed an antidote to combat the rising number of address poisoning scams. Additionally, Vanguard’s incoming CEO announced that he will not reverse the firm’s decision to avoid offering a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). Meanwhile, the United States Justice Department has charged two brothers with stealing $25 million in cryptocurrency.

Binance Creates ‘Antidote’ for Poisoning Scams Following $68 Million Breach

Binance’s security experts have developed an antidote to combat the growing threat of address poisoning scams, which deceive investors into sending funds to fraudulent addresses willingly.

Address poisoning, also known as address spoofing, is a deceptive tactic employed by scammers. They send a small amount of digital assets to a wallet that closely resembles the address of their potential victim, intending to integrate it into the victim’s transaction history. This way, they hope the victim will accidentally copy and send funds to their address.

Binance’s algorithm identifies spoofed addresses by initially flagging suspicious transfers, such as those involving near-zero value or unknown tokens. It then matches these transactions with potential victim addresses and timestamps malicious transactions to pinpoint the potential source of poisoning.

Vanguard’s New CEO Announces No Plans for Bitcoin ETF

Salim Ramji, Vanguard’s incoming CEO, confirms the investment giant’s decision not to pursue a spot Bitcoin ETF, stating the importance of consistency in a firm’s offerings. Ramji, who previously oversaw the launch of BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, expressed that crypto investment products do not align with Vanguard’s investment philosophy. Meanwhile, BlackRock’s ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust, has reached $18 billion in assets under management, with the other 10 ETFs seeing over $12 billion in net inflows combined.
