Bitcoin at $77K, $76M Monad DeFi Exploit, and CLARITY Act Gains Ground | Morning Crypto Recap

Bitcoin retreated to the $77,000 range amid market consolidation and macro headwinds. We break down the price action across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and major altcoins — plus a massive security breach that rattled the Monad ecosystem.

Echo Protocol was exploited for approximately $76 million after an attacker used a compromised admin key to mint 1,000 unauthorized eBTC tokens. This is a critical reminder of why security infrastructure matters in emerging DeFi ecosystems.

The CLARITY Act continues advancing in Washington, building long-term regulatory clarity for the crypto industry. Institutional accumulation of Bitcoin remains steady, and Solana's on-chain data shows continued growth in wallets, transactions, and TVL.

We don't chase hype — we decode the market. Your pathway from knowledge to legacy starts with staying informed.
