On April 26, according to the Wall Street Journal, in order to simplify the negotiations on reciprocal tariffs, US negotiating officials plan to use a new framework developed by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), which lists major categories of negotiations, such as tariffs and quotas, non-tariff trade barriers, digital trade, product origin principles, economic security and other commercial issues. In these categories, US officials will put forward specific requirements for individual countries, but people familiar with the matter emphasized that this document may also be adjusted at any time. People familiar with the matter said that the United States initial plan is to negotiate with 18 major trading partners in turn over the next two months. The initial plan is to alternately participate in the talks with six countries per week for three weeks (six countries in the first week, another six countries in the second week, and another six countries in the third week) until the deadline of July 8. If US President Trump does not extend the 90-day suspension period he set by then, those countries that cannot reach an agreement will begin to face reciprocal tariffs.On April 26, after the United States announced additional tariffs on goods from many countries, Peruvian business people expressed concerns that the US governments extreme measures would disrupt the global trade order and may even trigger a global economic recession.

This is the first time the Fed has conducted a semi-annual survey on financial risks since Trump returned to the White House. 73% of respondents said that global trade risks are their biggest concern, more than double the proportion reported in November. Half of the respondents believe that overall policy uncertainty is the most worrying issue, an increase from the same period last year. The survey also found that issues related to recent market turmoil have received more attention, with 27% of respondents worried about the functioning of the U.S. Treasury market, up from 17% last fall. Foreign withdrawals from U.S. assets and the value of the dollar have also risen on the list of concerns.

For the first time, the protocol's TVL has topped $150 million.


Furthermore, the exploiter made a $250k donation to the Ukraine Crypto Donation.


The Beanstalk Farms, an Ethereum-based Decentralized Finance (DeFi) scheme, was targeted for $182 million today, demonstrating that 2022 isn't taking a break from crypto cyber attacks.


Beanstalk Farms was the victim of a $182 million hack in which over 24.8 thousand ETH and 36 million BEAN were stolen.


The protocol's TVL just surpassed $150 million for the first time.


In addition, the exploiter donated $250k to the Ukraine Crypto Donation.


Another Ethereum-based Decentralized Finance (DeFi) scheme dubbed the Beanstalk Farms was attacked for $182 million today, indicating that 2022 isn't taking a holiday when it comes to crypto cyber assaults.


April Witnesses Its First Major Attack

According to Peckshield Inc., a blockchain security and data analytics business, an unusual transaction occurred on Ethereum, which was reported to the Dapp.


Millions of dollars were exchanged in Ethereum (ETH), BEAN, DAI, and USDT.


Closer examination revealed that the transaction was the result of the exploit, which was subsequently validated by the protocol. Beanstalk Farms announced the hack on Twitter, saying, "Beanstalk experienced an exploit today." The Beanstalk Farms team is investigating the incident and will inform the community as soon as possible... We're putting in every effort to make progress. We're asking the DeFi community and specialists in chain analytics to assist us restrict the exploiter's capacity to withdraw assets through CEXes as a decentralized initiative. If the exploiter is willing to talk, we are as well."


According to Peckshield, the hack was carried through via BIP18's flash loan aided pass. The hacker initially withdrew over 100 ETH worth $291k, which served as the attack's starting funding.


The hack's profits were more than $80 million, which were placed in Tornado Cash. The hacker even contributed $250k to the Ukraine Crypto Donation out of the $80 million.


Overall, the hacker made off with $24,830 worth $72.4 million and another 36 million BEAN, which was worth $36 million before yesterday but is now only worth $4.36 million.


The onslaught had such a strong impact on the price action that the coin ended up shedding more than 86 percent of its original $1.1 value and is now trading at $0.12.

Hacks and Exploits Emerging From?

While no one organization can be blamed for this incident, North Korea is notorious for large-scale hacking.


The Lazarus gang, which is controlled by the governing party, was also responsible for the largest attack in crypto history, in which Axie Infinity's Ronin Network lost $625 million.


In 2021, the hackers exploited more than $400 million in digital assets on their own, and they continue to bring attention to themselves. The Lazarus Group will be motivated to carry out additional such hacks if North Korea seems to be utilizing this cash to boost its missile development.
