This rise in malicious activity has been linked to actors from North Korea.

In another development, Ondo Finance has enabled two-way in-kind conversions between traditional shares custodied at Alpaca and Ondo Stocks tokens. The mechanism operates via internal book-entry transfers between these entities.
