In the past 8 hours, the crypto world has once again staged a thrilling drama.



Trust Wallet browser plugin exposed a serious security vulnerability, causing a massive amount of user assets to be looted overnight—this has caused panic throughout the entire community. Coincidentally, the largest Bitcoin options expiration ( USD 23.7 billion) in history is imminent, leading to extreme market volatility. BTC repeatedly tests the $87,000 level, and ETH even briefly fell below $2,900.

At this moment, the question arises: on one side, concerns about wallet security; on the other, the dilemma of whether to buy the dip or cut losses. But these are not the fundamental issues. The real question worth pondering is— in such a risky and uncertain market environment, where should we place the assets we've painstakingly accumulated? Assets that can both preserve principal safety and generate continuous returns?

Imagine the current situation: manually flipping through dozens of DeFi protocols, with gas fees ridiculously high, risking pitfalls at any moment; or putting all funds into centralized exchanges, but with security incidents happening one after another over the years, who can guarantee that the next problem won't be with the platform you chose?

This incident with Trust Wallet essentially highlights a deeper contradiction: even a well-known mainstream wallet in the industry, a security flaw in a plugin, is enough to wipe out users' assets. This shows that relying solely on self-custody is no longer sufficient. What is needed is a higher-level asset management framework that centers on both security and returns.

More and more experienced players are beginning to realize this. They are not looking for a new wallet application but a "smart intermediary layer" between your wallet and the entire DeFi ecosystem—one that allows you to control actual ownership of assets while automatically managing risks and opportunities, with you only needing to set rules and wait for returns. This is the true solution to the problem.

According to on-chain data tracking, the fund flow of this Trust Wallet vulnerability is obvious — it's not just a simple technical issue, there's a pattern behind it. Wait, the $23.7 billion options settlement timing is so coincidental? After multiple address analyses, suspicion arises that someone is intentionally creating panic and dumping. The dilemma of self-custody wallets versus CEXs should have been resolved long ago. That's why I said we need an "intelligent intermediary layer" — the suspicious binary choice itself is a trap.

This wave really can't hold up anymore. Trust Wallet's plugin just crashed, and my mindset is collapsing along with it. $23.7 billion in settlements came crashing down, and BTC is still testing repeatedly. Honestly, it's just trapping retail investors. No matter where you put your money, it's all damn traps. Self-custody wallets are getting hacked, centralized exchanges are about to explode. How are we supposed to live like this? Daily Gas fees are bleeding us dry. I'm really tired and need to find a way to earn passive income without thinking too much. Actually, all major wallets are now untrustworthy. Repeated lessons have been learned, and we can only hope for the best. I heard some veteran players are now experimenting with smart intermediary layers. Has anyone tried them? Are they reliable or not? This market is ridiculous. Risk and reward are twin brothers; neither can escape. Are you bottom-fishing or fleeing? The choice anxiety is back. I really want to hide in the bear market and continue my cultivation. Security has now become the biggest joke. We can't even protect ourselves. Forget it, just a warning first: don't be like those Trust Wallet users, waking up one day to find themselves back to square one.

Here we go again? Trust Wallet has also fallen, this time really can't hold on anymore. Really, if things keep going like this, who would still dare to use a wallet? $23.7 billion in settlements staring us in the face, and at this moment, thinking about security issues is a bit of a luxury. Instead of waiting for a wallet to blow up, it's better to think early about where to put the money... That said, there aren't many good options to choose from.

Another day, another major crash. Trust Wallet's failure has caused us all to get scammed. Why is it always like this? A plugin vulnerability can wipe out all your assets... It's really outrageous. Honestly, self-custody alone is no longer enough; we need to find a reliable intermediary layer.
