Now let’s
dive into the biggest stories in Web3 from the past week.
Tensions are escalating between JPMorgan and Strategy, and Bo Hines is warning that Operation Chokepoint 3.0 may be at play.
- MSCI revealed that companies like Strategy with over 50% of assets in digital assets may be
excluded from the MSCI USA and World Indices.
- Exclusion from the indices could lead to $MSTR seeing $2.8B - $8.8B in outflows.
- Michael Saylor defended Strategy as an operating company with $500M in software revenue and
innovative BTC backed instruments.
- The MSCI announcement dropped on 10/10 (crypto’s biggest day of liquidations), while a ruling will be made on Jan 15.
- JPMorgan noted the MSCI exclusion just this week, and the timing aligns with reports of big $MSTR shorts.
- Many are calling the timing of JPMorgan’s bearish note suspicious, coming at a time when BTC faces major selling pressure.
- JPMorgan is also facing backlash for closing Strike CEO Jack Mallers’ accounts, and has people
including Bo Hines claiming this is Operation Chokepoint 3.0.

- $MON currently is at a $4.6B FDV, up 84% from the presale price.
Cardano Attacked 
The Cardano blockchain faced a major attack this weekend
that caused the chain to split, and possibly led to millions in damage. - On Nov 21, a user named Homer J (a Cardano OG) broadcast a crafted txn with an oversized hash.
- The txn exploited a deserialization flaw in Cardano node 10.3.1 and above, which had been present since 2022.
- The attacker claimed it was an AI assisted personal challenge, and that the consequences were unintentional.
- IOG and the Cardano Foundation formed a war room to coordinate a fix for the split chain, and were able to get Cardano
back to fully operational within 24 hours.
- Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson claimed the attack was deliberate, targeting his own pool, and vowed to work with the FBI to make sure the attacker is found and punished.
