Former Ripple Director of Engineering: Ripple Labs did not use multi-signature or custodial services
Former Ripple Director of Engineering, Nik Bougalis, posted on the X platform stating that Ripple was disclosed to have been hacked yesterday. Its co-founder Chris Larsen is not the first nor the last person to be stolen XRP in this way. Multi-signature support requires multiple signatures in a transaction, and Chris Larsen did not use multi-signature or custodial services, which is surprising. Key management and security are significant challenges, and existing tools are not always capable of handling this task. Earlier news revealed that Ripple was attacked by hackers and 213 million XRP coins were stolen, worth approximately $112.5 million.

IMF: Global debt will exceed GDP in 2029
The latest forecast from the IMF shows that global public debt will exceed 100% of GDP by 2029, two years earlier than previously expected. The IMF Managing Director issued a rare warning, specifically naming the United States’ debt path as “unsustainable” and pointing out that fiscal consolidation in various countries is seriously lagging. What's even more dangerous is that persistent inflation may force the Federal Reserve to continue raising interest rates, increasing financing costs and creating a vicious cycle of "high debt—high interest rates—even higher debt."
