According to Cointelegraph, a crypto user known as The Smart Ape reported losing approximately $5,000 from a hot wallet during a hotel stay. The loss was not due to clicking a phishing link but resulted from a series of errors, including using an open WiFi network, taking a phone call in the lobby, and approving a seemingly routine wallet request. Security firm Hacken analyzed the incident, revealing how attackers can exploit network-level vulnerabilities and social cues to drain funds days after a victim signs a seemingly harmless message.

The attack began when the victim connected his laptop to the hotel's open WiFi, a captive portal without a password, and engaged in routine activities like scanning Discord and X, and checking balances. Unbeknownst to him, open networks allow all guests to share the same local environment. Dmytro Yasmanovych, cybersecurity compliance lead at Hacken, explained that attackers can use techniques like Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing, Domain Name System (DNS) manipulation, or rogue access points to inject malicious JavaScript into otherwise legitimate websites. Even if the DeFi front end is trusted, the execution context may be compromised.

The attacker identified the user as involved in crypto after overhearing a phone conversation in the hotel lobby. This information helped narrow the target and hinted at the likely wallet stack, specifically Phantom on Solana, which was not compromised as a wallet provider. Physical exposure of crypto profiles poses a long-standing risk, as Bitcoin engineer and security expert Jameson Lopp has emphasized that openly discussing crypto or flaunting wealth is highly risky. Yasmanovych warned that cyber attacks often begin with observation, and public conversations about crypto holdings can serve as reconnaissance, aiding attackers in selecting the right tools, wallets, and timing.

The critical moment occurred when the user signed what appeared to be a normal transaction. While swapping on a legitimate decentralized finance (DeFi) front end, injected code replaced or piggy-backed a wallet request, asking for permission rather than a token transfer. Yasmanovych noted this pattern fits a broader class of attacks known as approval abuse, where attackers obtain standing permissions and wait before executing the actual transfer. By the time the victim realized, the wallet had been emptied of Solana (SOL) and other tokens. The attacker waited until the victim left the hotel to transfer SOL, move tokens, and send NFTs to another address.

The victim's wallet was a secondary hot wallet, limiting the damage, but the incident highlights how little is required to swipe users' funds: one untrusted network, one moment of inattention, and one signed approval. Yasmanovych recommended treating all public networks as hostile when traveling, avoiding open WiFi for wallet interactions, using a mobile hotspot or reputable VPN, and transacting only from hardened, up-to-date devices with minimal browser attack surface. Users should segment funds across wallets, treat every on-chain approval as a high-risk event to be regularly reviewed and revoked, and maintain strong physical operational security by never discussing holdings or wallet details in public.

Fellow Binancians,
Binance is excited to announce the official launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts, expanding our product offerings to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets. As part of our commitment to providing users with diverse trading choices, we are now offering perpetual futures for traditional assets.
Key Highlights:
24/7 Traditional Market Exposure: Gain access to traditional markets around the clock, beyond standard trading hours.Simple Trading Experience: Trade with our familiar USDT-settled perpetual contracts, offering no expiry dates and full flexibility.Hedging and Diversification: Diversify your portfolio and hedge your positions with exposure to traditional markets.Amplify Your Profits: Utilize leverage to amplify your trading potential.
About TradFi Perpetual Contracts:
TradFi perpetual contracts are USDT-settled contracts that track the price of underlying traditional finance (TradFi) assets, allowing users to trade on the price movements of these assets without needing to own them directly. TradFi perpetual contracts are margined and settled in the same way as existing crypto perpetuals.
The first contract, XAUUSDT (Gold), was made available to all eligible markets on 2026-01-05, and XAGUSDT (Silver), was listed on 2026-01-07. Binance will continue to expand the list of available TradFi perpetual contracts. Please note that these contracts are settled in USDT only.
How to Access TradFi Perpetuals:
You can trade TradFi perpetuals on the Binance website or App:
Binance Website: Navigate to the Binance Futures page and select the [TradFi] tab under the symbol search bar.Binance App: Go to [Futures] and tap on the symbol (e.g., BTCUSDT). Select the [TradFi] tab from the top menu to view available contracts.
Pricing and Risk Model for 24/7 Trading:
Binance TradFi perpetual contracts trade 24/7, even when underlying assets have specific market hours. To ensure fair and continuous pricing, we use robust risk management mechanisms during off-hours.
Price Index: Aggregates data from multiple vendors and updates every second during market hours. Outside these hours, it remains fixed at the last value for stability.Mark Price: Updates every second during trading hours. Outside these hours, it uses a smoothed futures price calculated with an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to prevent sudden price swings and unnecessary liquidations.Deviation Constraints: Limits the difference between Mark Price and Price Index (e.g., ±3% for commodity contracts like XAUUSDT) to manage risk.
For more information, please refer to this FAQ: Perpetual Futures on Traditional Assets.
A New Standard in Digital Asset Regulation:
Binance is the first global crypto exchange to secure a comprehensive license under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework, setting a new standard in digital asset regulation.
The TradFi Perpetual USDⓈ-Margined Futures contracts are traded on the FSRA-regulated exchange, Nest Exchange Limited, and cleared by the regulated clearing house, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited. Learn more here.
