According to official news, Goblin Finance, an enhanced yield infrastructure for the Aptos ecosystem, announced the completion of a $1 million strategic funding round. The round was led by OKX Ventures, Gate Ventures, and BlockBooster, with participation from the Aptos Foundation and ecosystem partner Hyperion. Avery Ching, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, participated in the investment in his personal capacity. Goblin Finance aims to build Aptos' native enhanced yield infrastructure through a multi-strategy Yield Hub and yield-enhanced LSTs. The platform constructs a yield flywheel: its goVault generates strategy yields and empowers goAPT stakers → higher yields attract more TVL inflows → the expanded fund size feeds back into and enhances the effectiveness of the vault strategies, thereby continuously generating more yields, forming a closed loop. In the past two months, Goblin Finance's platform TVL has grown fivefold, reaching $13.73 million, and attracted over $3 million in participation during its core vault subscription event in September. The platform has integrated with multiple core protocols, including Hyperion, and offers over 10 active strategies, covering mainstream trading pools such as USDT-USDC, APT-USDC, and USDC-USD1. Goblin Finance stated that this round of financing will be used to continuously improve the Aptos yield infrastructure, expand a diversified CeDeFi strategy suite, accelerate the launch and ecosystem integration of goAPT, promote the formation of a native LST yield loop within the Aptos ecosystem, and build a professional-grade yield network connecting on-chain and cross-markets.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that Kevin Simback, COO of Delphi Labs, recently publicly questioned the rationale behind Octra's launch of a new round of financing at a valuation of $200 million. He stated that Octra only completed an early-stage financing round last year with $4 million in Pre-seed, at which time its valuation was approximately $40 million. Now, its valuation has increased more than fivefold in a year, and with only months left until TGE, there is "almost no real demand." In response, Octra co-founder Alex stated that he does not know Kevin Simback. He emphasized that the lower valuation of Pre-seed was because the team only had a white paper and initial concept at that time, which was a typical risk premium; while now the project has completed sandbox testing, has complete mathematical documentation, an open-source PoC, and a fully functional network that has been running stably for several months, therefore the valuation increase has a reasonable basis. Previous news: Octra Labs announced a $20 million public token sale at a valuation of $200 million.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, analyzed the "He Yi's WeChat account theft" incident, stating that the hacker likely seized control of the user's long-abandoned phone number, thereby taking over the identity infrastructure linked to WeChat. Another common risk is CAPTCHA social engineering attacks: after obtaining a user's leaked account password, hackers impersonate the user and request a 6-digit verification code from two of their frequently contacted WeChat friends, thus completing the account theft. Yu Xian pointed out that the prerequisites for such attacks include matching account passwords from leaked data and prior collection of information about the victim's frequently contacted friends (even users who only interact in group chats). Attackers often choose to carry out these attacks late at night, commonly seen in OTC scams targeting cryptocurrency users. He reminded users to be cautious when adding unfamiliar WeChat friends, change their passwords promptly, and pay attention to various risk warnings on WeChat.

According to crypto analyst Ai Yi (@ai_9684xtpa), Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua previously disclosed that his ETH purchase cost was approximately $2,700, and the current increase has reached 22.2%. Monitoring shows that between November 23rd and November 27th, he publicly stated on the X platform that he was fully invested. Five of the six tokens he mentioned recorded increases, with ETH showing the highest increase (22.2%), followed by BTC at 7.11%. ASTER was the only token experiencing a pullback (-19.78%). Since the specific holding size was not disclosed, the actual unrealized profit cannot be calculated. Furthermore, the costs of the other tokens, except for ETH, are estimated based on the time of his public post and are for reference only.
