Today’s intraday swing of $73.11 to $77.12 covered nearly 5.5% of the range, yet the token closed near the dead center of that range. That’s not…

Ethereum’s well-known MEV bot JaredFromSubway was drained after an attacker used contracts that made its automated trading system grant token approvals, according to Blockaid.
