⚖️ Turkey Confirms Richard Heart Detained in Istanbul
Turkish authorities have confirmed the detention of Richard Heart, founder of the HEX, PulseChain and PulseX projects, in Istanbul under an Interpol Red Notice.
Officials reported the seizure of $7.15 million in cash, six cold crypto wallets, and firearms at the time of his arrest.
Heart had previously been charged by the U.S. SEC with fraud and unregistered securities offerings. His detention marks a significant escalation, as Interpol involvement signals active international cooperation in the case.
Frax Share (FXS) collapsed 68.26% within a single hour, falling to $0.25776, according to market data.
No official explanation for the crash has been confirmed at the time of reporting. The move is unusually sharp even by altcoin standards, and traders are monitoring for further volatility or any protocol-related announcements.
Sudden double-digit drops of this scale can signal liquidation cascades, large sell-offs, or on-chain incidents — users holding or interacting with FXS should exercise caution until more information is available.

🔐 Cysic halts bridge after 10M CYS unauthorized mint
Cysic has suspended its token bridge following an unauthorized minting event that created 10 million CYS tokens outside of normal issuance.
On-chain data shows approximately 2.8 million CYS remain frozen at the recipient address after the team enacted a blacklist. However, a portion of the minted tokens were sold before the blacklist took effect, meaning some unauthorized supply entered the market prior to intervention.
The incident highlights ongoing smart contract and bridge security risks in the crypto space. No official explanation for how the unauthorized mint occurred has been confirmed in available reports.
