Galaxy Digital在2022年虧損達10億美元:3月28日消息，加密貨幣投資公司Galaxy Digital報告稱，2022年凈虧損10億美元，而2021年實現的利潤為17億美元。它還報告第四季度虧損2.88億美元。該公司將虧損歸因于其投資組合的未實現市值。

馬斯克出席法庭 稱提出將特斯拉私有化時有足夠資金:金色財經報道，特斯拉CEO馬斯克當地時間1月23日在出席舊金山聯邦法院的一樁由一群投資者提起的訴訟時說，他2018年提出將特斯拉私有化的想法時，所需資金是有保障的。馬斯克稱，來自沙特主權財富基金的融資以及他本人在火箭公司SpaceX的持股本可提供足夠資金。僅憑SpaceX的股票，我就覺得資金是有保障的。

馬斯克說，他在2018年7月底會見了沙特公共投資基金（PIF）的代表，在那次會議上沒有討論將特斯拉私有化的具體價格，也沒有簽署文件，但在會議結束時馬斯克認為這是一項板上釘釘的交易。不過該基金后來放棄了支持馬斯克將特斯拉私有化。 (華爾街日報)[2023/1/24 11:28:27]

慢霧：pGALA合約黑客已獲利430萬美元:11月4日消息，安全團隊慢霧在推特上表示，pGALA合約黑客已將大部分GALA兌換成13,000枚BNB，獲利超430萬美元，該地址仍有450億枚Gala，但不太可能兌現，因為資金池基本已耗盡。此外，黑客的初始資金來自幾個幣安賬戶。

今日早些時候消息，一個BNB Chain上地址在BNB Chain上地址憑空鑄造了超10億美元的pGALA代幣，并通過在PancakeSwap上售出獲利。pNetwork表示此為跨鏈橋配置錯誤所致，GALA跨鏈橋已暫停，請用戶不要在BNB Chain上DEX中交易pGALA。[2022/11/4 12:16:04]

Sky Mavis將質押超過1100萬個AXS代幣:金色財經報道，Axie Infinity的創建者Sky Mavis表示，該公司將在其資產負債表上質押11,475,000個AXS代幣，以加強其對Axie Infinity生態系統的長期承諾。Sky Mavis是Axie Infinity的創造者，該游戲在 2021年流行，之后由于游戲內代幣獎勵的價值下降而在新的一年下降。Axie 聯合創始人 Jeffrey Zirlin 最近在 The Scoop 上?提到，該游戲此后宣布放棄“play to earn”模式，以促使用戶從游戲中獲得比其代幣更多的收益。

根據 The Block Research 的說法，最近的舉措可能會稀釋 4300 萬個 AXS 當前質押的數量，并降低當前 AXS 質押者的年百分比率 (APR)。截至發布時，有超過 4200 萬個 AXS，價值 4.91 億美元，以 43% 的年百分比率進行質押。[2022/10/12 10:31:26]
