One of the biggest heists in crypto - US$625M stolen?! 

Hey Chain Debrief Community,

I hope you had a great week because I know I did.

The bulls are back at it again and both Bitcoin and Ethereum were up 10% and 12% respectively.

This week we also saw one of the greatest heists of the 21st century. The ronin bridge was exploited and hackers got away with a mind-blowing amount of US$ 625 million.

Apart from that, good news to all NFT fanatics as OpenSea is coming to Solana. It is only a matter of time before OpenSea supports the other blockchain and becomes the go-to NFT marketplace.
