Decentralized exchange aggregator Kame has announced the recovery of part of the funds stolen in a security breach earlier on Saturday. According to the platform, it negotiated with the attacker, securing the return of 185 ETH through an Ethereum transaction. In an earlier alert, the platform told its users and the general public on blogging platform X about the potential exploit that may be affecting users connected to Kame. As a precaution, it urged users who still had funds connected to Kame to revoke approval immediately till the issue was sorted. “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and are working closely with the team to identify and resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We will share updates as soon as we have more information,” the decentralized aggregator said. Kame aggregator recovers part of its stolen funds Later in the day, it released a follow-up report urging its users to revoke token approvals to two of its contracts, noting that the investigation was still ongoing. While investigations were still ongoing, Kame aggregator said it was important that users carry out the instructions, with the platform dropping a list of steps that they could undertake to revoke the approval. “This step is critical to ensure the safety of your assets. We will provide further updates as soon as possible,” it said. In an updated post by one of the developers, the post stated it has placed multiple bounties to track the exploiter and, coordinated with partners to get their support. The developer said they were also in contact with the hacker via DM on Blockscan, negotiating to have a portion of the stolen funds returned, while still working on further negotiations. “Our current priority remains to mitigate damage, recover funds, and strengthen security moving forward,” the developer said. Critical Update! We have successfully communicated with hackers and they accepted our offer to transfer funds back. 185 ETH has been refunded by this transation https://t.co/SFWD6JJV7K We are collecting information about affected hackers and will soon inform the compensate plan.… — Kame Aggregator (@kame_agg) September 13, 2025 After direct communications with the attacker, Kame acknowledged that about 185 ETH had been transferred by the attacker into a recovery wallet. The exact size of the exploit is yet to be determined, but the platform has promised a full review into the issue in order to determine the total losses. The team also mentioned that it is looking into compensation packages for users impacted by the breach. Promise of compensation amid rise in hacks in 2025 The framework is expected to be published after the investigators are done auditing the wallet data. Until then, users have been advised to disable token approvals following the laid-down steps and wait for updates concerning security protocols. In addition, the team also noted that the recovery was achieved in a collaborative effort with partners from the Sei community. The recovery came at a time when Ethereum posted a slight 5% gain despite registering a decline for the month. Since the beginning of the year, there has been a major uptick in hacks and criminal thefts in the crypto market. As previously reported by Cryptopolitan, the latest analysis from blockchain security firm PeckShield showed that crypto hacks and exploits went up by 15% from July. The security report showed that more than $163 million was stolen across 16 different incidents. The report noted the incidents of Btc Turk, ODIN.fun, BetterBank, and CrediX Finance are the highlights of the month. On August 14, cybersecurity firm Cyvers noted unusual activities involving Ethereum and other tokens on different blockchains. The Cyvers systems flagged large transactions on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, and Mantle. “Our system detected multiple alerts across ETH, AVAX, ARB, BASE, OP, MANTLE, and MATIC networks,” the company reported. About 20 minutes later, Btc Turk paused deposits and withdrawals, noting technical issues with its hot wallet. According to Cyvers, $48 million worth of Ethereum was stolen. Get seen where it counts.

Ripple (XRP) has enjoyed renewed attention since Ripple and the SEC resolved their lawsuit, with many expecting BlackRock to file for a spot XRP ETF in early 2026. This could push XRP into a new phase of institutional demand just as PayFi altcoins, Remittix (RTX) included, are gearing up for big moves. As XRP eyes regulatory clarity and potential ETF status, Remittix is delivering utility, rewards, and real momentum. Ripple (XRP) Poised For ETF Surge Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC officially ended recently, removing a key obstacle to ETF filings. With that clarity, several analysts believe BlackRock could submit for a spot XRP ETF in early 2026. Currently, XRP trades at $3.16, facing resistance near $3.40, a crucial technical level. Meanwhile, sentiment is rising, prediction markets and ETF experts are placing approval odds above 80% to 90 % for spot XRP ETFs. Remittix (RTX) Showing Strong PayFi Altcoin Momentum Remittix’s comparison to XRP now matters, while XRP is a top-established token benefiting from legal certainty and ETF speculation, Remittix is still at an earlier stage, but moving fast in the PayFi space. Remittix matches growing interest in real utility beyond speculation, and may offer a sharper growth curve if it scales quickly relative to XRP’s continuing structural developments. The numbers speak loudly. Remittix has sold over 661 million tokens, is presently priced at $0.108, and has raised over $25.5 million. These metrics give RTX a strong foundation in fundraising and market validation. Remittix has already secured its first centralized exchange listing on BitMart after crossing $20 million in funding, followed by LBANK after passing $22 million, and is preparing a third. Here are some of what give Remittix a real edge: Mass market appeal beyond crypto insiders The wallet beta launches in Q3 2025 Users can send crypto to bank accounts in over 30 countries The project is audited by CertiK, which builds trust and transparency Built for adoption, not speculation Remittix is not just riding the hype; it is delivering features and infrastructure. While XRP may benefit from ETF inflows and regulatory clearing, Remittix is also delivering real product and reward mechanics now, making it a standout among PayFi altcoins. What This Means For XRP And PayFi Altcoins BlackRock filing for a spot XRP ETF in early 2026 looks more than speculative; it may become a reality now that regulatory issues are largely resolved. XRP stands to gain from broad institutional exposure, while Remittix is set to surge as it offers a growing ecosystem, wallet beta launch on September 15, a 15% USDT referral program you can claim daily, and a $250,000 giveaway that motivates its community. These twin tracks, XRP’s ETF potential and Remittix’s utility and incentives, suggest that PayFi altcoins are not just waiting in the wings; they are stepping into the spotlight.

Former Bank of China vice governor Wang Yongli said that comprehensive steps to regulate cryptocurrencies should be accelerated. In his statement, Yongli argued that stablecoins are neither indispensable nor substitutable for the functioning of the on-chain crypto world. According to Yongli, stablecoin regulations will inevitably trigger regulation of the entire crypto asset class, which could have profound market impacts. However, they also carry the risk of negative consequences for stablecoins. Related News: Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank Predict How Much the Fed Will Cut Interest Rates Yongli argued that China should be more deliberate and proactive in this process, saying the country's focus should not be on developing a RMB-based stablecoin. Instead, he argued that all cryptoasset laws should be swiftly implemented, banks and other financial institutions should be encouraged to transition to blockchain, the development of real-world assets (RWA) should be actively supported, and cryptocurrency exchanges should be registered in Hong Kong to accelerate the on-chain operation of the RMB. *This is not investment advice.

XRP has recently faced selling pressure after rallying to its yearly high of $3.66. The asset has since corrected to the $3.00 range in line with broader market weakness. While short-term conditions appear uncertain, some analysts continue to highlight the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential. Armando Pantoja, a well-known crypto investor and commentator, recently reaffirmed his view that XRP could eventually reach $1,000 . According to him, the target is realistic over a long period, although unlikely to materialize in the immediate future. His remarks came as a counterpoint to more aggressive projections in the market. $XRP will eventually hit $1,000 but not tomorrow and not soon. $BTC took 8 years to sustain above $1,000. The lawsuit held #XRP down, it's like we are starting from scratch. But hey, I'll wait 10+ years for a 33,233% return. Repost if you agree — Armando Pantoja (@_TallGuyTycoon) July 25, 2025 For example, Jake Claver of Digital Ascension Group has suggested XRP could rise to between $1,500 and $2,000 by early 2026. Pantoja disagrees with this timeframe, stating that XRP will require significantly more time to achieve even the $1,000 threshold. Comparing XRP’s Path to Bitcoin’s Growth To support his stance, Pantoja pointed to Bitcoin’s historical trajectory. Bitcoin first crossed $1,000 in November 2013, approximately four years after its launch. However, it failed to sustain this milestone and required another three years to establish itself above the level in 2017. Altogether, it took eight years from inception for Bitcoin to hold that price region decisively. Drawing from this history, Pantoja argued that XRP could experience a similar pattern. Yet, he acknowledged that the comparison highlights certain challenges. Unlike Bitcoin, the first and largest cryptocurrency, XRP has already been in existence for 13 years without reaching a comparable valuation. Impact of Legal Proceedings Pantoja attributed part of XRP’s delayed performance to the regulatory uncertainty surrounding its ongoing legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The case, which began in December 2020, disrupted investor confidence and delayed adoption. With the matter now nearing resolution, Pantoja believes the project may be able to restart its trajectory under more favourable conditions. We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 He suggested that once legal risks are behind it, XRP could follow a growth path similar to what Bitcoin achieved in its first decade. Based on this reasoning, Pantoja estimated that XRP might take around eight additional years to reach the $1,000 mark , setting a tentative timeframe between 2033 and 2035. Long-Term Returns for Patient Investors At the current market price of about $3.10, XRP would need to appreciate roughly 3,100% to reach $1,000. While such a gain appears extraordinary, Pantoja emphasized that long-term investors willing to wait could still find the prospect attractive. In his view, a potential return of more than 30,000% over the course of a decade justifies optimism, provided investors understand the risks and extended timeline involved. Although XRP’s immediate outlook reflects volatility and legal uncertainty, analysts like Armando Pantoja maintain that its long-term prospects remain strong. He expects eventual growth toward $1,000, but not within the rapid timelines suggested by some market commentators. Instead, his analysis underscores the importance of patience, suggesting that XRP’s climb to four-digit territory may not occur until the mid-2030s.
