In a tumultuous week for the Ethereum blockchain, a remarkable spike in illicit flows emerged, coinciding with a major exploit involving Curve Finance, a prominent decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol. This incident marked Ethereum's most significant period of illicit activity for the year.

Curve DAO (CRV) encountered notable obstacles in reestablishing its market equilibrium subsequent to a recent breach in its network security. After a network intrusion that jeopardized a portion of Curve DAO's (CRV) smart contracts and caused a monetary setback of $50 million, the value plummeted drastically.
