Hacker Returns $273 Million in Stolen Bitcoin as Banks Push Boundaries

Crypto's wild weekend has come to an end, but not without its surprises. A hacker who made off with $320 million in a recent heist returned most of the loot, but kept $47 million for themselves.

The hacker, who was described as a white-hat, returned 3,400 Bitcoin to the Liquid Network, but kept 600 BTC as an 'unofficial bounty.' This move has raised eyebrows in the crypto community, with some wondering if the hacker will continue to hold onto the remaining funds.

In other news, two major banking giants, DBS and Citi, have successfully completed a 24/7 cross-border payment using Swift's new digital ledger. This milestone marks a significant shift for global banking, as traditional wire transfers don't typically occur on weekends.
