According to CoinMeta, today the price of Bitcoin (BTC) is $62,585.01, and Ethereum (ETH) is also under pressure as the hacker attack on Coldcard hardware wallets has entered its fifth day, raising doubts about the security of direct self-storing as a holding strategy. This incident has caused panic in the crypto social media community, with many small holders complaining of losing assets they had held for a long time and re-evaluating their confidence in cryptocurrencies. Analysts say that the hacker attack has led holders to transfer their coins back to exchanges, reflecting a behavior that is contrary to the trend of self-storing. Although this incident resulted in the theft of $114 million worth of Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin has reacted relatively modestly, falling by 1.5% in the past 24 hours to currently $62,595. The price of Ethereum has dropped by nearly 2% to $1,842. The CoinDesk DeFi index has also fallen by 2.5%.
