ZachXBT: Ripple's $150 million XRP theft was caused by a password manager leak
According to online detective ZachXBT, a seizure lawsuit filed by US law enforcement agencies yesterday revealed the reason why Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen encountered a theft of approximately $150 million (283 million XRP) in January 2024. The incident stemmed from Larsen storing the private key in the LastPass password manager, which suffered a data breach in 2022. The documents show that after the victim enters the private key of the cryptocurrency wallet into an online password manager, the physical record of the private key will be immediately destroyed. The password manager experienced two major data breaches in August and November 2022, where attackers stole encrypted passwords and vault data. FBI investigation found that the stolen data was used to illegally access the electronic accounts of multiple victims and steal information, cryptocurrencies, and other data.

U.S. President Trump has signed an executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve and a separate digital asset reserve.

He expects that as adoption rates increase, the price of Bitcoin will be pushed higher. At the same time, Bitcoin will begin to act as a store of value this year, especially in light of concerns that Trump's tariff policies may lead to a resurgence of inflation.
