    Axie Infinity's parent company has raised $150M in VC funding to pay back users after losing $625M in a hack of its Ronin network. This seems like a too big to fail situation in the crypto landscape where VCs stepped in to prevent a domino effect. https://www.theblockcrypto.com/ …

    interesting new norm being established as the two most recent massive crypto hacks are being backstopped by giants who see more money in long term continuity than short term wallet hit https://axie.substack.com/...

    A new type of entry for the “I'm in the wrong business” list — cash in AFTER disclosing one of the largest ever hacks. And that's not even including all the debate around exploitation, “scholarships” and whatnot. https://twitter.com/...

    Reminder: the last Axie valuation was at $3B & before the hack they've already lost revenue at an alarming pace https://twitter.com/...

    One of those instances when the crypto VCs need to do better & actually disclose: - the funding details - how much of a stake did Sky Mavis loose in this round - how are the tokenomics effected given the uncollateralization - what governance roles are they taking on & who https:/…

    Binance taking the lead & reimbursing Axie holders doesn't necessarily mean it's coming out of CZ's stash. Could very well simply be the case that only Binance as an exchange has the regulatory “don't give a damn” set up to honor those refunds from Axie holders.
