# Hot Wallets and Cold Wallets: What Roles Should They Each Play?

In the Web3 world, some users keep all their assets in one wallet to make it easier to trade, participate in DeFi, or connect to various applications.

Others believe that using a cold wallet is enough to completely solve asset security issues.

But both approaches overlook a key issue:

**Wallet security depends not only on what kind of wallet you use, but also on how you allocate assets, manage permissions, and handle everyday transactions.**

Hot and cold wallets are not an either-or choice. They serve different purposes, an

More than 200 platforms are competing in tokenization, but @Ondo now accounts for roughly 10% of the reported non-stablecoin RWA market.
According to Ondo’s November 5 disclosure, the platform has reached:
- $4B+ in tokenized assets
- 484 tokenized products
- 565,000+ holders
- #1 among 203 platforms tracked by RWAxyz
The broader non-stablecoin tokenized asset market stands above $39B.
That puts Ondo’s reported share at approximately one-tenth of the market.
And I think the concentration is worth examining beyond the headline numbers.
Tokenization has become easier to launch. More chains suppo

Why Isn't the Price Shown by the Exchange Necessarily the Price You Ultimately Get?

In crypto trading, you might see Bitcoin trading around a certain price. But after clicking buy, you may find that the average execution price is higher than expected. The same goes for selling: the price displayed on screen may look good, but the amount you ultimately receive may be less than you imagined.

This doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong with the exchange. The latest traded price, bid and ask quotes, and your actual execution price may differ.

First, the latest traded price isn't the price

Congratulations to everyone who made the leaderboard! 🎉
I just saw an estimate from an overseas friend @VaveylaCrypto: Primus points could reach 200 u in the future.
I recommend linking your x, discord, polymarket, and hyper accounts to earn points and take a shot at an airdrop:

Why Can Prices Still Fall When There Are Large Buy Orders on the Order Book?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people watch the order book and try to gauge market direction by looking at buy and sell orders. When a large number of buy orders appear on the screen, some traders assume support below is strong and that prices should be unlikely to fall.

But reality is often not that simple. A large number of buy orders does not mean prices will necessarily rise; a large number of sell orders does not mean prices will inevitably fall.

First, placed orders are not the same as executed trades.

Only bad news everywhere - bottom signal. Still leaning more to the bullish side here.
For me it's either a sweep of 74k coming with a pump into range highs after, or mid-low 60s once BTC really eats into the huuuuge gap.
Impossible to say right now - just do your calculated bets. R/R, risk management etc.
All eyes on Elysium launch on Monday, trenches are already cooking. There is always a bull market somewhere.

Short-term holders are back underwater.
Yesterday's drop pushed about 60% of the bitcoin:native held by recent buyers below its cost basis. A day earlier, they were back in profit.
For now, that lowers the risk of recent buyers cashing out into strength.

Why can’t a smart contract be guaranteed absolutely safe even after passing an audit?

In the Web3 world, when people see a project claim that its “smart contracts have passed a security audit,” their first reaction is often: Since a professional firm has already checked them, the funds should be relatively safe.

But there is an important distinction:

Passing an audit means that the code within a specific scope has undergone a security review; it does not mean the entire project is free of risk.

Understanding this is essential to truly grasping the value of an audit report.

OpenAI and Anthropic birthed Skynet, and now they’re selling the antidote.
According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), the number of disclosed vulnerabilities has doubled this year, rising from 5,045 in January to 10,477 in July.
The number of exploits also nearly doubled, rising from an average of 10.5 per month in 2025 to 18 per month this year.
But there’s a real irony hiding in plain sight.
OpenAI recently ran an autonomous AI pipeline that produced 948 working Linux kernel root exploits in a single run, worth $1.2M in API credits (about $1,279 each), after reproducing 1,724
