1/ BTC/ETH hits 3 year high BTC/ETH is a ratio of the top two crypto pairs, and hits a 3 year high. It means that ethereum is gaining value more so than bitcoin. It's a great indicator for the "Flippening" as some have speculated.

2/ Badger DAO Hack The hack is said to have suffered through a frontend security exploit. Ironic that some hacks are only made possible through traditional web2 exploits. Only permit erc20 approvals of the range you are comfortable with! https://ambcrypto.com/heres-how-badgerdaos-120-million-exploit-played-out-rekt-explains/

3/ 1 inch network $175 million Series B It's announcing a division to serve to institutional customers. Serving institutional may become a larger trend in the long term - especially as regulations tightens up.
