Deep Chao TechFlow news, February 2, according to JinShi data reports, a CICC research report stated that in the short term, Walsh’s nomination has limited impact on the interest rate cut path, but may lead to an expected correction in US dollar liquidity, potentially easing the pressure of US dollar depreciation in phases, making speculative assets driven by liquidity more susceptible to shocks. In the medium term, Walsh’s proposals face constraints from within the Federal Reserve, capital markets, and fiscal aspects, and it is still difficult to conclude whether they will ultimately succeed. However, at the same time, one should not underestimate his willingness to adjust policies. Trump’s “America First” policy mindset may gradually manifest in the Federal Reserve’s policy practices in the coming years. Investors should also prepare and be ready for this potential change.

PANews reported on February 2nd that, according to The Block, the cross-chain liquidity protocol CrossCurve (formerly EYWA) confirmed that its cross-chain bridge protocol is "under attack" due to a vulnerability in its smart contract being exploited, resulting in the theft of approximately $3 million across multiple networks. Blockchain security firm Defimon Alerts discovered that the attack exploited a gateway verification bypass vulnerability in CrossCurve's ReceiverAxelar contract. Analysis shows that anyone can use forged cross-chain messages to call the contract's expressExecute function, bypassing expected gateway verification and triggering unauthorized token unlocking on the protocol's PortalV2 contract. The protocol is backed by Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov and has previously raised $7 million.
