Worth over $500,000, White Hat team rescues 66 NFTs from Flooring Protocol

Comparing news, Solidity security researcher Quit revealed the details of the Flooring Protocol vulnerability incident, saying that the attackers used ownership verification flaws in BT404 style accounting logic to construct a “ghost ownership” state, and combined multiple integer underflow vulnerabilities to obtain unlimited FPToken balances, eventually selling tokens and draining the protocol's liquidity. Quit said that after discovering another attack path that could affect more pools of funds, it launched a white hat rescue operation with several security researchers to transfer assets from the vulnerable Flooring Protocol pool. In the end, 66 NFTs were rescued, including 29 BAYC, 4 MAYC, 2 CryptoPunks, 1 Azuki, 2 Elementals, 26 Captains, 1 Moonbird, 2 Doodles, and 1 BAKC, worth over $500,000. Quit reminded users not to continue depositing NFTs to Flooring Protocol and stated that the NFTs in question would be returned to their legitimate holders in the coming weeks.

The fall of the 70 million dollar myth: How NFTs are moving from auction houses to Walmart shelves

Author: Sanqing, Foresight News Original title: From the 70 million dollar myth to the 9 dollar doll, are NFTs really “cool”? On January 5, the NFT Paris developer conference, which was originally scheduled to be held in February, was suddenly cancelled. What used to be an all-night party on the banks of the Seine is now left with a cold official tweet: “The market crash hit us hard, and even with aggressive cost cuts, we are still unable to support it.” Five years ago, digital artist Beeple's work “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” sold at Christie's for an astronomical price of $69.3 million. Then, from tens of millions of dollars worth of CryptoPunks to countless digital collectibles endorsed by mainstream institutions, it was the golden age of NFTs. From a sky-high deal that was recorded in auction history to an industry conference that was forced to be cancelled, it took five years for NFTs to complete the complete cycle from frenzy to liquidation. Figure - Everydays: The First 5000 Days NFTNFT market supply is exploding due to an imbalance between supply and demand. According to CryptoSlam data, the supply in 2025 increased by 35% compared to 1 billion in 2024. Over the past four years, the total number of NFTs has soared from 38 million to 1.34 billion, an increase of about 3,400%. Sales are shrinking. According to CryptoSlam data, total NFT sales in 2025 were around $5.63 billion, down 37% from $8.9 billion in 2024. According to CoinGecko data, the total market value of NFTs fell from a peak of around $17 billion in April 2022 to around $2.4 billion at the end of 2025, a drop of about 86%. In 2025 alone, the total market value of NFTs shrunk from about $9.2 billion in January to the end of the year, with a drop of 68% during the year. Liquidity is diluted. As the casting threshold was lowered, the market entered a “high frequency and low price” model. According to CryptoSlam data, the average transaction price has dropped from $124 in 2024 to $96 at the end of 2025. Compared to the average transaction price of over $400 during the peak of the bubble in 2021-2022, it has fallen by three-quarters. Source: CryptoSLAM can't escape the number of former top-tier NFT projects and blue-chip NFTs. In CryptoPunks, for example, the floor price has dropped to around 30 ETH, down 78% from the 2021 peak of 125 ETH; BAYC (BAYC) fell 83% to about 5 ETH from about 30 ETH; and Azuki dropped 93% to 0.8 ETH from around 12 ETH. The platforms' collective “flight” and the trend of evolving industry leaders marked the end of this cycle. OpenSea, which once held the top position in the NFT market, dropped its monthly revenue from 50 million to 120 million dollars in the golden age of NFTs to less than 1 million dollars. As a result, OpenSea announced a transformation, and the platform will transform from a simple “NFT marketplace” to a general on-chain trading center for “trade everything” (Trade Everything), covering digital assets such as physical collectibles and tokens, and confirmed that tokens will be issued. Once at its peak, Blur's TVL continued to be at a new low, and the token price dropped 99% from its high point. Also, Magic Eden, the founder of the Solana chain, issued coins after a year of operation. Affected by the NFT market market and the implementation of bears' expectations, the platform's trading volume began to shrink, and the token price also fell by more than 98% from a high point. Even projects that can't keep up with the changing times, such as the established NFT marketplace X2Y2, have been eliminated, completely suspended, and the team has switched to the AI field. From “tokens” to “brands” everywhere, Pudgy Penguins Fat Penguins successfully bucked the trend and became a different kind of industry. Its success did not rely on complex innovation or short-term speculation in token technology, but rather gradually built a sustainable brand ecosystem that spans Web3 and traditional retail by transforming digital IP into physical consumer goods...
