In crypto news today, cypherpunk Jameson Lopp has raised concerns about Bitcoin address poisoning attacks, a social engineering scam tricking users into sending funds to malicious addresses. The scam uses addresses similar to those from a victim's transaction history, and Lopp advises Bitcoin holders to verify addresses carefully. Meanwhile, nearly 400,000 creditors of the bankrupt FTX exchange risk losing $2.5 billion in crypto repayments due to incomplete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification. A court filing indicates that these users must complete the KYC process by the newly extended June 1 deadline or risk disqualification of their claims. Additionally, billionaire investor Bill Ackman speculated that President Trump may postpone the imposition of proposed tariffs set for April 7, citing the lack of time for negotiation before the tariffs would take effect. These developments underline ongoing challenges in the cryptocurrency space and potential impacts from regulatory actions.
