Security concerns have also emerged across the ecosystem, with MetaMask exiting its Lido validators following a reported infrastructure incident, and hackers shifting tactics after the NEAR hack to target other platforms like Bitget. On the positive side, tokenized assets continue expanding with Travala's loyalty program surpassing 170,000 members and traditional finance entities like HSBC launching blockchain solutions with Redcoin for Hong Kong transactions.
