Twitter Coin: app code suggests a new token may be coming, Dogecoin rallies

 Twitter may be soon getting its own cryptocurrency, with code recently published by the company showing “Twitter Coin” illustrations and a “coin” payment category.

Tweets posted by tech blogger Jane Manchun Wong suggest that Twitter may be about to launch its own cryptocurrency. In one now-deleted tweet still available on Google’s cache, we can see an icon portraying a coin with Twitter’s logo with filename “IconTwitterCoin.svg.”

The code is part of Twitter’s updated web application dedicated to tipping on the platform. Wong explained that there are no indications “as to what “twitter tips” and “twitter coin” are, with nothing indicating any relation to Dogecoin (DOGE).

Dogecoin was long rumored to be headed towards a Twitter integration ever since talks about Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform started circulating. The tech tycoon himself suggested that the coin may become internet’s native currency and used to describe himself “Dogecoin CEO” on Twitter.

Despite no indication that Dogecoin is actually being integrated into Twitter, the coin sharply rallied earlier today only to sharply fall shortly thereafter. The price increased by 6.45% from $0.1039 to a high of $0.1106 within minutes only to fall down to $0.1062 shortly afterwards.

Twitter’s tipping feature has not rolled out yet, and we may not learn much more about it until it is released. The “Twitter Coin” is be a part of it that appears to be currently planned but may never actually see the light of day.

Wong’s Twitter profile is no longer available. According to a post she published on Macaw — an open source Twitter alternative powered by Mastodon — she decided to deactivate her account by herself. She wrote:

“Since the takeover, I’ve been getting an increased amount of casual racism and sexual harassments on the bird site.”

Ankr issues statement on hacking attack

Following the recent attack that hit the Ankr exchange, the security team has issued an update on the malicious event. They stated that the attacker used a mint bug in the platform’s smart contract code to mint millions of aBNBc while bypassing verification.

Ankr disclosed what happened during the attack

Earlier yesterday, the Ankr centralized exchange discovered malicious activity, leading them to halt some operations temporarily. However, before they could apply prompt security measures, they had already incurred a loss of $5 million in BNB.

After several hours of investigation, the Ankr security team eventually fished out the root cause of the attack. According to them, the attacker maneuvered to access the developer’s private key. He then used it to attack the platform’s aBNBc smart contract via a bug in its code. 

Elon Musk Says SBF Donations to Democrats ‘Probably’ Over $1 Billion

 Elon Musk alleged that SBF had donated over $1 billion to Democrats and asked where did that money go.

Elon Musk has alleged that the former CEO of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, has donated over a billion dollars to the Democratic party to support them in the elections.

In a recent discussion on Twitter, Will Manidis, the Chief Executive Office of healthcare AI platform Science, called SBF’s donations to politicians “one of the highest ROI trades of all time” because it allowed him to not go to Jail for stealing over $10 billion.

Taking part in the discussion was Elon Musk, who alleged that SBF’s “actual support of Dem elections is probably over $1 billion.”

Musk also asked where did that money go.

SBF is known to have donated $5.2 million to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign while also donating $10 million to support Carrick Flynn – a candidate from the Democratic party for a congressional seat in Oregan, who couldn’t win the elections.
