Welcome back to the Crypto Curious.

This week we've got 3 big stories to cover - starting with a $387 million attack on Bitget, allegedly linked to North Korean hackers — but the really interesting part might be what Bitget did next, and the crisis playbook it had ready to go.

Then, your stocks just went DeFi. Coinbase's tokenized shares are now being accepted as collateral on Aave, bringing traditional assets directly into the world of decentralised lending.

And finally, Europe is switching on the digital euro. The ECB has activated its first live system, with a 2029 launch target — and potentially some pretty big implications for how Europeans pay, move and hold money.

So, we've got a crypto heist, Wall Street moving deeper into DeFi, and the euro getting a digital upgrade.

Let's get into it 🚀
