Odaily reported that crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on X that the U.S. House Financial Services Committee plans to hold a hearing on tokenization next Wednesday at 10 a.m. (Eastern Time). Blockchain Association CEO Summer Mersinger will attend as an invited witness.

Odaily reported that the BONKfun team announced on X that their official website suffered a malicious social engineering attack on March 11. The attacker hijacked the BONKfun domain through the domain service provider and transferred it to an external registrar. The team confirmed that this incident was not caused by a breach of BONK or BONKfun's internal systems, codebase, or team accounts. After the incident, the team immediately took action: shutting down the website, coordinating with wallet service providers to mark the domain as malicious, and controlling the scope of user impact. Thanks to @phantom, @solflare, @MetaMask, @_SEAL_Org, and other security partners for quickly spreading the warning. This attack resulted in customer losses of approximately $30,000. The team will compensate affected users at 110% to cover potential opportunity costs. The BONKfun domain and registration were fully restored around 5 PM Eastern Time on March 18. The main wallet provider functions resumed on the evening of March 19, and the website is now safely online. Currently, some antivirus software still marks the main domain as risky, and the team is actively addressing this issue. For users who cannot access the official website due to antivirus software, a backup domain is now online, offering the same functionality as the main site.

Odaily reported that, according to Onchain Lens monitoring, the World Coin team is suspected of conducting OTC transactions. They received 35 million USDC from FalconX and an exchange, and subsequently transferred 117 million WLD tokens to an OTC trading address.
