<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2025/09/08/sui-based-yield-protocol-nemo-exploited-for-usd2-4m-in-usdc" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">1) <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f6e1.png" alt="🛡" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;"> DeFi alert: Nemo Protocol hacked for $2.4M in USDC</a>
What’s new: Nemo, a yield optimization protocol on Sui blockchain, was exploited for about $2.4 million USDC. Attackers bridged stolen funds via Arbitrum → Ethereum. Nemo suspended smart contract activity; vault assets reportedly safe. &nbsp;
Why it matters: Reinforces that even newer DeFi platforms are vulnerable to cross-chain bridging exploits and supply-chain risks. Users need constant vigilance; audits &amp; bridges remain weak links in the DeFi stack.

What’s new: India’s government reviewed a draft that effectively puts off comprehensive crypto legislation. RBI fears stablecoins and broader crypto integration could threaten its existing payments infrastructure (like UPI). Regulation, but only partial / cautious. &nbsp;
Why it matters: A decentralized / retail-strong market remains unintegrated into formal finance. For global projects, India remains a tricky region: opportunities big, policy still constrained.

What’s new: Developers revealed that malicious actors poisoned JavaScript packages used by crypto wallets / DeFi tools—downloads numbered in the billions. Attackers are using them to inject crypto-stealing malware. &nbsp;
Why it matters: A supply-chain threat; third-party dependencies are risk vectors. Even if smart contracts are audited, if JS front-ends or tooling are compromised, users are exposed. Security across the stack matters, not just the blockchain layer.

What’s new: Companies that have built balance sheets with crypto (Bitcoin holdings + token exposure) are seeing their stock prices slip from recent highs. Investors seem rotating out after summer’s hyped accumulation. &nbsp;
Why it matters: The “corporate treasury” model is under stress. Market sentiment toward crypto exposure in public equities is becoming more skeptical. Those with operating business + crypto holdings need to show real revenue / risk management, not just BTC bags.
