After the attackers managed to take control of the smart contract, they transferred the assets to their wallets. Still, blockchain security experts stressed that the attack only the staking contract, with the NFT marketplace and the RARE token remaining unaffected.

SuperRare token dips 6% after the hack

Following the hack, the SuperRare token dipped 6%, from its daily high of $0.0617 to $0.05815. Still, the token remains above its weekly lows and is still up 13% from the month prior. This is likely due to the fact that the vulnerability affected only a small fraction of the assets on the marketplace.

Currently, RARE has a market cap of $48.01 million. According to DappRadar, the SuperRare marketplace has a lifetime volume of $249.71 million, with 6,120 individual traders. Still, volumes in the NFT marketplace took a significant dip in recent years. Over the past 30 days, the platform registered just $2,120 in sales, with the average sale falling under $450.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low.

Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
