CoinDCX hit by $44.2 mn security breach; founders say customer funds unaffected, safe
Indian cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX has suffered a security breach, resulting in theft of $44.2 million, or ₹378 crore, even as the founders took to X to reassure that customer funds remained unaffected and safe, with the compromise limited to an internal operational account. The total exposure is being absorbed entirely by CoinDCX, using the company's treasury reserves, the company said in a First Incident Report released on Sunday. According to the report, on July 19, at 4 a.m., CoinDCX security systems detected an incident involving unauthorised access to one of its accounts on the partner exchange, leading to a financial exposure of about $44 million. The incident once again puts the spotlight on mounting security threats in the highly volatile world of cryptocurrencies. Last year, crypto exchange WazirX faced a hack in India, leading to the loss of more than $230 million, and marking one of the biggest such heists in India. The theft had prompted a thorough examination of safety measures and eroded sentiments. CoinDCX co-founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal took to the social media platform X to address the situation, confirming that the attack was the result of a sophisticated server breach, targeting an internal wallet, not the ones holding customer assets. The incident was first flagged by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, following which the exchange made the disclosure public. "Today, one of our internal operational accounts -- used only for liquidity provisioning on a partner exchange -- was compromised due to a sophisticated server breach. I confirm that the CoinDCX wallets used to store customer assets are not impacted and are completely safe. This won't cause any loss to our customers. CoinDCX will be bearing the full amount," Mr. Gupta said. "The total amount lost was USD 44Mn out of our treasury assets. Coindcx Treasury will be bearing these losses," Mr. Khandelwal wrote. Following this, users rushed to check their balances, leading to a spike in withdrawal requests. The sudden surge in activity led to CoinDCX's portfolio APIs, which display user balances and transaction histories, becoming jammed and unresponsive. For several hours, many were unable to even see their holdings on the app, adding fuel to rumours and anxiety online. The co-founders later updated that Portfolio APIs have been restored. Affected infrastructure has been completely isolated, and CoinDCX operations continue to run normally, the company said. CERT-In, or the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team, has been informed about the incident. Detailed forensics with two globally reputed security agencies is being carried out, and reports will be shared for public benefit, it added. "CoinDCX services remain fully operational. Trading activity, INR deposits and INR withdrawals continue. INR withdrawals below Rs 5 lakhs will reflect in your account within 5 hours, while withdrawals above Rs 5 lakhs will be processed within 72 hours. The incident was isolated and has no impact on your portfolio access or operations," the company stated. Social media is flooded with mixed reactions. While some praised CoinDCX for absorbing the losses and protecting user funds, others criticised the delay in public disclosure and raised concerns over the broader security of crypto platforms in India. "Coindcx silent for 17 hours? That's more suspense than a thriller! In crypto, transparency isn't optional; it's key. Stay open to keep trust alive!" a user wrote. "Good to see CoinDCX acting responsibly, assuring user funds are safe, and not passing losses onto customers. Sets a positive precedent for Indian crypto exchanges," another said.

Donald Trump sparks outrage by demanding Washington Commanders name reversal request (Image via Getty) On July 20, 2025, President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account to call for an immediate change of the NFL's Washington Commanders back to the Washington Redskins and MLB's Cleveland Guardians back to the Cleveland Indians. He wrote that 'our great Indian people, in massive numbers, want this to happen' and urged team owners to 'GET IT DONE!!!' Trump argued that restoring the old titles would honour Indigenous heritage rather than erase it. US President Donald Trump urges Washington Commanders to return to Redskins name US President Trump's post appeared on Sunday, July 20, on Truth Social, a platform he launched after leaving office. He declared that the Washington 'Whatever's' must 'IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team' and added that fans are clamouring for the move . He also insisted that the Cleveland Indians name carry more history than the current Guardians label, though baseball's 'original six' term applies to hockey, not baseball . Donald Trump said the renaming is not about disrespect but preserving 'heritage and prestige' for Native Americans. US President Donald Trump also wants Cleveland Guardians to bring back Indians name The football franchise began as the Boston Braves in 1932, became the Boston Redskins in 1933, and moved to Washington in 1937. The club used the Redskins name until 2020, briefly played as the Washington Football Team, then rebranded to Commanders in 2022 after criticism of the old name's offensiveness. Cleveland dropped 'Indians' and its 'Chief Wahoo' logo after 2021, adopting Guardians to respect calls against racial stereotypes. Both owners, Josh Harris of Washington and Chris Antonetti of Cleveland, have said they plan no further changes. Also Read: 'She Is Very Talented': Melania Trump Defied Donald Trump With Taylor Swift Praise While Travis Kelce Stood Loyal By Her Side Despite Donald Trump's request, neither franchise has signalled a reversal.

France faces another tough wheat export year despite better crop
France could struggle to sell a much bigger wheat crop expected this year as export options for the European Union's top wheat producer have narrowed due to less demand from Algeria and China as well as strong competition from cheaper Black Sea grain. Sparse overseas demand could lead France to stock hefty amounts of wheat or offload more crop in livestock feed markets. Either outcome could keep prices below production costs, a trend that has fuelled farmer protests in the past year. Farm office FranceAgriMer on Wednesday projected French soft wheat exports outside the EU in 2025/26 at a relatively modest 7.5 million metric tons, contributing to a forecast 21-year high for end-of-season stocks. Sales to Algeria and China, among France's biggest wheat buyers in recent years, stalled last season due to a diplomatic fallout between Paris and Algiers and a general drop in Chinese imports amid hefty domestic supply. A smaller than normal 2024 French crop meant steady demand from Morocco and West Africa, plus sporadic sales to Egypt and Thailand, absorbed last season's surplus. But that may no longer be enough. "The harsh reality is that France has a huge challenge to reach a 7.5 million ton export programme," Rory Deverell, owner of Black Silo Commodity Consulting, said. A price rise in Russia amid tight availability in the world's biggest wheat supplier may offer only brief respite, with Russian and other Black Sea region producers expected to sweep up near-term demand, as shown by this week's 1 million ton purchase by Algeria. 'Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria are likely to dominate wheat exports in coming months," a German trader said. 'The west EU faces the threat of being only a niche wheat exporter."
