    Cointelegraph.com - 16:53 Jun 22, 2026
    The venture is subject to regulatory approvals but will be co-chaired by ICE and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who began working with OKX in 2023. Cryptocurrency exchange OKX and the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, announced that former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo would co-lead a joint venture focused on digital assets. In a Monday notice, OKX and ICE said Cuomo, who lost his bid to be New York City’s mayor in 2025, would co-chair the joint project between the two companies “focused on building next-generation infrastructure for tokenized and digitally native financial products.” The venture, which the companies said would allow OKX users to “access ICE futures and NYSE tokenized equities markets,” is subject to regulatory approval.

    Cointelegraph.com - 16:52 Jun 22, 2026
    Bitcoin's repeated weekly candle close above $63,000 align with signals that may mark a market bottom.

Together, the data points to a market that is shedding excess selling pressure while holding near a key support zone for BTC. Read more

Proposed holding limits have also been replaced with a temporary 40-billion-pound ($52.8 billion) issuance cap. Read more

    Cointelegraph.com - 05:40 Jun 22, 2026
    ETF analyst Eric Balchunas says Morgan Stanley’s plan to charge 0.14% fees on two upcoming crypto ETFs makes them “the cheapest in [the] US and world.” Morgan Stanley has updated its filings for its Ether and Solana exchange-traded funds, revealing that it plans to charge the lowest fees among its rivals.

  • Taiko urges users to withdraw as bridge exploit drains $1.7M
    Cointelegraph.com - 05:31 Jun 22, 2026
    Taiko’s bridge and ERC20 Vault on Ethereum suffered a compromise in its chain state verification mechanism, allowing forged proofs and unauthorized withdrawals. Taiko, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, has urged its users to withdraw assets from the network’s bridges after an exploit on one of its bridge protocols saw attackers make off with $1.7 million in the latest decentralized finance hack this month. “We have confirmed a compromise of Taiko’s chain state verification mechanism,” Taiko posted to X early on Monday. “As a result, the security assumptions of all bridges deployed on Taiko can no longer be relied upon.” “We strongly advise all users to withdraw their funds from all bridges deployed on Taiko immediately,” it added.

  • Secret Network bridge exploited for $4.7M with ‘infinite mint’ bug
    Cointelegraph.com - 03:49 Jun 22, 2026
    An exploit of the Secret Network went undiscovered for a week as the hacker moved the loot into Ethereum and then to exchanges. An attacker has used an “infinite mint” bug in a vulnerable smart contract on the Secret Network to create unbacked, wrapped versions of Axelar-wrapped assets, resulting in a $4.67 million exploit. The exploit happened on June 10 but was discovered a week later on Wednesday, after a failed cross-chain transaction caused by an “insufficient funds” error in the drained account was detected, blockchain research firm Common Prefix reported on Friday. The attacker redeemed the Axelar-wrapped assets (saTokens) back over legitimate channels to drain the real Axelar-wrapped assets held in escrow because the smart contract did not verify the source of the inbound transfer before minting, so “deposits forged over an attacker-controlled channel minted genuine saTokens with no assets backing them,” Common Prefix said.
